🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pablo Maffeo was NOT HAPPY about being interviewed at half-time during Valencia vs Real Madrid! 😡
“I really don’t feel like doing this interview. I think it’s SH*T. This interview has no place here. We’re playing a game.”
Half-time interviews, a feature commonly seen in American sports, are now making their way into European football, and Maffeo is clearly NOT A FAN!

This may sound harsh, but no one likes being around someone who is always sad, always complaining, always has bad news or something negative to say. It can be incredibly exhausting.

I keep telling you guys the music industry is built on relationships, Chaxxy understood this very early on and he has solid friendships with these guys in real life. Im sure they gave him negotiated rates compared to a random show which would push figures to the tens of millions

Doku and Ndiaye are isolated on both wings, Anderson is the only person in midfield, Guehi and Gvardiol are retarded, Khusanov is not a RB what else is new.
Whatever is happening with Maresca's setup is the same with Pep's in the 24/25 season.
Enzo and Anderson playing so up and wide in the field leaves too much space in the midfield leading up to defensive errors and individual mistakes.
Its not sustainable

Consistent individual errors from multiple players isn’t unlucky, it’s pretty proof that whatever tactical system Maresca is coaching is causing a lot of problems.
I wasn’t at Forest today as I’m looking after my kids, but in Leipzig the other night I asked Maresca about the exact situation that led to the third goal (and similar to the second)- Fernandez being high/wide and Anderson moving out to get on the ball. If the ball/duel is lost, there’s big space for opponents to break into. Maresca said individual mistakes were leading to goals, not that specific scenario. I asked if it led to the games being open/end-to-end and he said he would assess things in the international break. That stuff definitely needs addressing as the midfield is often far too open. Mistakes still a big factor too of course. Terrible combination at the moment

The day Maresca realizes our best midfield is Anderson•Cherki•Bouaddi and O Riley+Nunes as our best fullback pairing, is the day Mancity will start dominating and winning games.
Then later we will talk about Donnaruma

Maresca’s tactics and set-up have got this team looking like a relegation side.
Absolutely awful half of football and probably too late to rectify his mistakes with subs.

Manchester City conceded in the sixth minute against Villa, the 11th minute against Brighton, and now the sixth minute against Forest. None of them were against the run of play
