Juan Cuadrado

[kc_blue 265]

I thought he had a pretty good game. Saying that I'm not sure it won't be more of the same from him if he doesn't get stronger on the ball. He still seems to go down far too easily to be successful in the premier league. I have hope though.

Precisely. A certain winger at the club who I shall not name has 21 goals in 37 international appearances.

It's 23 in 36 actually. Wiki isn't a source you should be following.

Never mind the Copa America, one should never read too much into players' form when they play for their country...

Right otherwise let's sell hazard and buy Diego

Tardelli. Or never buy another English player...

Or conclude that Neymar is better than messi...

The majority of the games are played against the worst opposition one can think of.

Even the WC group stage often pits teams against second/third grade opposition.

Not to mention motivation or lack thereof.

Did you watch Neymar yesterday?! Yes some of frustration because of good defending the rest is just lack of focus.

Brazil and Argentina historically bring their b sides to cops America and Brazil a team isn't that great to begin with.

Then there is team mechanics which may benefit certain players and styles.

Euros >>>> copa america

* originally from Brazil and have watched a lot of copa America.

I was reading Real Madrid forums and look what i found was posted yesterday:

Cuadrado is one of the best players in the world at beating guys 1 on 1. Besides Robben and Messi I can't think of anyone who is a better dribbler. Possibly Di Maria, Hazard, and Suarez, but it's close. He's got unreal pace, amazing work ethic, and usually good service into the box. The one thing he really needs to work on is shooting/finishing.

Man I'd like to have Cuadrado here, he is a great player and genuinely a good kid. His mother has done a wonderful raising him.

Willian isn't elite at beating defenders 1 on 1 though. He's fast and a good player, but he's not gonna danglefest by multiple defenders making it look like he's playing FIFA--something Cuadrado does quite often.

what these guys are smoking?

He needs to buff up and have faith in himself. I watched him against Brazil and he was awesome.

When playing for us players just push him away from the ball like a little kid. Makes you wonder how strong Willian and Oscar actually are when people don't do the same to them.

He can be good. If he settles here he can be forst choice RW. He has the ability.

First he has to learn how to stay on his feet or grab the ball when fouled so that the referee will have no choice but to blow the whistle

He seems very timid on the ball when he plays for us

Cheeky punch there

Selling Cuadrado, Salah, Kakuta, Moses, Piazon, Marin and that subsidize bid for Marco Reus. May I keep dreaming ? I'd give up any other transfer target for that one.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I'm sorry, that desire and workrate by Cuadrado today against Argentina was like Ramires and Willian combined! No joke, that was just unreal effort, absolutely unreal. Wasn't much effective going forward but neither were the entire Colombia team but the work he put in was astonishing. Huge respect.

everyone needs time to adjust, don't judge him just yet
