Ummm mildly interesting and makes sense
“Sometimes I’ve been with a player who I wanted to put a finger into something that was very clear and then I realise three months later that he had a problem with his wife”
Missed on that
Listen, as long as we win I can’t question these methodologies. 
On a serious note, I wanted to highlight, as Arteta said, you can’t replicate certain specific stuff and intensity in training. The mach itself is always the best training (fitness wise, tactically, technically, in every possible way; needless to say mentally) but also the most dangerous one - at times it pushes you to some places you don’t expect, can’t predict, and don’t really want to be there.
Got to agree there. It’s an analogy in the music biz. You get it all working in rehearsals, then on come the lights, the crowd is up for it, the nervous tension simmers a bit and you let fly. All the practice in the world can’t compensate any of that. Matchday/Showtime is where it’s at.
I’m gonna be killed for it but fuck it, I’ll go by who I personally liked the most.
Start: Henry and Dinho
Bench: Ronaldo
Sell: Zidane
@SRCJJ secretly blames Titi for that CL final.
Going by Longevity
Start: Henry and Zidane
Bench: Ronaldinho
Sell: Ronaldo
Outside of being an Arsenal fan there’s literally no reason to ever pick Henry over R9.
Start: Ronaldo and Ronaldinho
Bench: Henry
Sell: Zidane 
Pretty sure they just invented this to have fun and it’s not part of actual training 
It’s personal preference, but I never get the longevity argument with Ronaldo. The guy was scoring goals for fun during a ~ten year stretch. Obviously he had a season or 3 where he went missing because of injuries but still.
If you want to use something against him it’s that his teams won nothing. I think a League title with Real, a Cup’ winners Cup with Barcelona and a UEFA Cup with Inter.
Start: Henry (
) and Ronaldinho
Bench: Zizou
Sell: R9 the fat vagina fringed cripple
It’s a testament to how well he endured his injury (a lot of footballers would have retired) and it’s a testament to his skills as a striker that he was still scoring bucket loads for good 5-6 seasons post massive injury layoff.
But I don’t think you see the same Ronaldo in Real Madrid shirt that you did with Inter Milan
If we are speaking about picking a player with highest peak, you can’t choose anyone but Ronaldo
Start: Ronaldo and Henry
Bench: Ronaldinho
Sell: Zidane
