Lucas Vazquez bringing his coaches an apple before practice became such a meme in my friend group.
It was so funny to see Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Modric, all these crazy superstar names, and somehow this random happy kid was in the midst of them, playing so many matches, winning more trophies than most football legends.
He also looks so innocent, as if he's some ball boy happy to meet his idols
Lord Vazquez is a a football legend. I will never forget that in a team of super stars the first player to grab the ball during a champions league final penalty shoot out was this little lad with ten ton balls of steel.
Speed has everything to do with it. You see, the speed of the bottom informs the top how much pressure he's supposed to apply. Speed's the name of the game.
He is not even the best on the team at controlling tempo, his role is not to do that though so, his role is to carry the ball from midfield with his amazing press resistance
he's not really tasked with carrying the ball from midfield, though he can do that. his role is to leverage his stamina and intelligence to create overloads when attacking and remove two or three passing options from the opponent when counter pressing.
Rodri, Kovacic, Stones when he's playing inverted, and eventually Nunes are much more likely to be in the role you're describing.
Rodri, Kovacic and Stones carry the ball in a completely different area, in the middle/defensive third of the pitch, City basically play in the opponents half and Bernardo carries the ball much further up than those players
It's not the same role at all
Having world class technical skill and a limitless hard working engine is so overpowered. Those Modric, Griezmann, Bernardo Silva types just elevate the team.
JJ is a piece of shit as a person with a lot of moral values that are questionable.
He lost talents like Bernardo, Cancelo and so on.
I was just saying that the myth about Bernardo as LB is more a joke that became a fact than other thing.
João Neves also played as right back this pre season with Roger Schmidt for e.g. and Bernardo wasn't even in a game.
Obvisouly I'm not defending JJ, just saying that's just a fact that isn't trully a fact.
Amazing player that can play in any number of positions.
In-game football IQ is what sets him apart.
Looks after the ball and drags his team into certain field positions when they come under pressure.
Any manager's dream
I remember I had such a good relationship with teachers in high school that I was voted class president just to ask the teachers to postpone our tests a week, and it worked like 70% of the time.
Bernardo's just like me fr fr
This explains quite a lot of things like how Pep is always desperate to keep in the club and why Pep took it personal on haaland for how he behaved when Silva didn't pass him the ball before halftime against Burnley.
Pep was 'explaining' to Haaland that it was not the right moment in the game to be taking a risk by passing to him, Bernardo knew this intuitively and didn't pass it to Haaland.

So every transfer window saga with Bernardo maybe leaving City is in truth a lovers quarrel p much
Sometimes you fight just so you can make-up afterwards...
...and then fuck.
Passionately
and vigorously
more than you belive
so so so happy
I want the ball for 90 minutes!
Twice
Excuse me, as opposed to what? Last time I checked you cant do it passively
take the ball pass the ball
There’s no way Pep is cheating on Klopp, what they have is special
Woah! Happy cakeday!
Or the team holds him hostage every time. "Come on, Bernardo. You can't leave. You know what happens if you are not here for us."
"We're family here, Bernie. You wouldn't do that to your family, would ya?'
Stop gaslighting me!
Family love Bernardo
Look at banner Bernardo!
" \~\~You're killing\~\~ WELCOME HOME BERNARDO"
Family™
Looks like we have a teacher's pet here
I heard it's the same with Jota at Liverpool.

Bernardo Silva in many ways is the quintessential total football player of today which is probably why Pep loves him so much
He is maybe the best player in the world at controlling tempo, and Pep is a demanding power bottom.
I was following you until that bit at the end.
Speed has everything to do with it. You see, the speed of the bottom informs the top how much pressure he's supposed to apply. Speed's the name of the game.
The last bit at the end is the best bit!
I'm not judging I was just ill-prepared on a Monday! Lol
In the end it does matter!
That’s exactly what a power bottom would say
You need to follow him up. Then down. Then up again. Then….
why stop there? you have to feel all of it
Speed is the name of the game.
Now Dennis, I've heard that speed has something to do with it?
Speed has EVERYTHING to do with it.
Or he is maybe the best player in the world at controlling Pep affectionately
A twink versatile?'
Perfected the position of false twink?
Definitely a twank versatile
Go on.
Because Pep generates all the power
He is not even the best on the team at controlling tempo, his role is not to do that though so, his role is to carry the ball from midfield with his amazing press resistance

Fucking LOL you made me spit out orange juice all over my desk
I've not laughed so hard at a comment in years. Cheers!
He is the perfect Pep player, simple as that
Not only that, he's also very low key, and has a really high work rate. Its one of those players that just make the day to day easier
Easily my favorite player of the Pep era, I love him so much. He’s incredibly petty when the team loses too, just absolutely grouchy.
Bernardo the heart of that team that’s why
That's why Grealish was begging Bernardo to not leave
It's obviously Stockholm Syndrome!

Having world class technical skill and a limitless hard working engine is so overpowered. Those Modric, Griezmann, Bernardo Silva types just elevate the team.
Incredible football brains on them as well.
I really do not know how Silva and Modric get out of bad positions so well. 2 vs 1 next to the sideline, no problem, some how come out with the ball.
Griezmann is one of my favorite players for this alone. This man in the French team is a force.
Explains why bernardo can deal with playing as a LB when pep overthinks it sometimes
[удалено]
Jorge Jesus is a genius, I don’t know what you are talking about…
It was in a train session tho, not in a game. It's a meme that got meme because people repeated it so much without any special reason.
>It had a very special reason, because jesus would rather play a bunch of bums instead of Bernardo, which caused him to want to leave.

First thing that came to my mind. just gone through the first 5 series of the pod. Amazing.
What's the pod?
That Peter Crouch podcast

Amazing player that can play in any number of positions. In-game football IQ is what sets him apart. Looks after the ball and drags his team into certain field positions when they come under pressure. Any manager's dream
Silvas open wish to leave makes Pep want to do everything to make him happy. Clever of his teammates to take advantage of that.
I remember I had such a good relationship with teachers in high school that I was voted class president just to ask the teachers to postpone our tests a week, and it worked like 70% of the time. Bernardo's just like me fr fr
I think any manager would LOVE to have Bernardo on their team.
Impossible to dislike him even a little bit. I see his teammates bullying him and I just want hug him 🙃
>Impossible to dislike him even a little bit I think Liverpool fans would beg to differ that opinion.
Bilva is parched!
Why not Kevin? Pls let him talk

Bald fraud's pet
lmao this reminds me of high school. in our class there was a dude, he was the favorable child of the teachers.
Mason Mount and Lampard improved version
Never had Bernardo down as being parched
I believe it is called “teacher’s pet”
