Sorry, but if you say Palhinha the class, apparently never saw him.
That would have been the wanted holding of Six if Kompany could do something with one.
He is simply a victim of a trainer who, in my eyes in his young career, tries primarily with a stubbornness to get one or the other title in order not to be considered failed by Bavaria.
I don’t see any step forward at Bayern under Company. Take the existing material and after us the deluge.
I also find it funny that the first company season seems to be rated as successful. So it is okay if FCB is enough if you only get the championship, but predecessors had to go.
For me, Kompany has no recognizable handwriting and everything runs according to Scheme F that is at least enough for the championship.
A Palhinha or gifted youth player has no place in this “system”.
Palhinha has never shown that he has this class at the highest level .. At Bayern, he has had two three solid games so far and has never really shown anything that can even be guessed at that he can go with the level and pace of Bavaria game. Tuchel might have used it, but Tuchel has been one of the worst Bavarian coaches of the past 15 years with Kovac and Klinsmann
In the PL and for Portugal. Tuchel and Bavaria did not come to him for no reason. What should he show in a system that does not provide for holding SIX and where it is thrown in alibi?
Even at Fulham, he was not a over player who stood a level about all his teammate .. This is still only Fulham. It is like saying that the 6er of Augsburg has shown that it can play at the highest level .. Fulham himself did not play at the highest level.
We come to the national team fairy tale. Palhinha was never an undisputed regular player .. He played no role at the World Cup 22, just as little as in all the other tournaments before. So only the EM 24 remains
The first game didn’t play at all. Against the Türkiye, which has practically gave two owners within 20 minutes, was replaced after 45 minutes. The same thing against Georgia after 45 minutes.
He is not really stabbed in both games now .. Against Slovenia, it was a better performance, had some good ball conversions with me, but also didn’t really do much, since Slovenia was hardly on the ball and could even carry the ball into the half of the Portuguese.
Next game against France .. He didn’t really get stuck or particularly noticed there either.
Name me the games in which Palhinha showed that he can perform at the highest level?
So Palinha is a very strong player in Fulham. This is also shown by the statistical values in these areas. But yes he is not the blatant game designer or a pass wonder weapon. In terms of progressive passes, he was not that good. But you know what you get from such a player.
He was bought past the need. But that doesn’t make him as bad as you represent him now.
And if he had these good values in the PL that should be a sufficient trackrecord.
The fact that not many people can show you blatant games from him is also due to his position (little spectacle) and that he played in England. Don’t look so many.
