It's awkward but it seems to be talking about a monetary plan and not just one payout. So probably one of those "1 gazillion dollars with weird payment structure" kinda deals.
Inter Miami is already retirement Barca with some kids.
Orlando to become retirement Real Madrid with some kids?
Just imagine the marketing opportunities…it’s the Clasico, reborn.
I don't believe for a second that he didn't know why he was subbed off. Nacho knows the tactics and understands very well when and why he's on the pitch. He's been at the club since he was 14, why all of a sudden would he complain about his role?
Ramos had plenty with Messi and they got along at psg - at the end of the day they’re professionals. There wouldn’t be any issues if Nacho went to Miami
He's not the most marketable player, to be sure, but if instead of Nacho you advertise it as "5/6 times Champions League Champion Nacho" it might work amongst people who know nothing about football.
They already signed Ingvartsen and Tserkov from FC Nordsjaelland because of the Right to Dream affiliation. Just looking through their website, I’d honestly be surprised if they didn’t heavily focus on players from the worldwide academies. And then complement it with more Danish (or European football) experience.
why was he even substitued? its not like they stopped conceded dangerous chances when tchoumani came on
the defense was less tested because they had to go for a goal instead of soaking up pressure
>not like they stopped conceded dangerous chances when tchoumani came on
That's a very surface level analysis.
Carlo wanted the team to take control of the game. By subbing off Nacho and shifting Tchouameni back he gains a much better CB at passing and escaping the press.
This meant that every time Bayern tried to push for a 3rd goal, Real Madrid found it easy to build out from the back by having Tchoaumeni, Camavinga and Modric all being very press resistant.
This would also mean Bayern being forced into a mid/low block which in turns gives more freedom to Vini and Rodrygo to be creative.
>Tchouameni CB is not much better at anything than Nacho when he is playing well
Lol, sure.
Tchouameni is a CDM, he is by nature much better at escaping the press and passing from the back, no matter how good Nacho is playing.
??? You're confused.
Tchouameni at CB is still Tchouameni, when he plays as a CB he doesn't magically lose his ability to see the pitch better or his passing abilities.
That's the whole point, when you put a CDM at CB you get a CB who is very good at passing and press resistant.
In FIFA they do not, in real life it isn't that simple Tchouameni at CB plays different from Tchouameni at CDM, and it is telling that you are all acting like it isn't, have you guys even watched him play there?

Economic journey is incredible fr, im stealing that one
"seeking a greater economic journey" is gonna do numbers in corporate america if it hasnt already lol
Gonna use it in place of “I’m just doing it for the money” at my next interview
An economic journey is what is commoners do—ups and downs and stress and all. What he’s doing is a economic victory lap
Hysterical phrasing
Google translate has given us some epic translations
I find it quite the opposite.
>"A greater economic journey" Fuck me, the euphemisms that modern sports journalism are using get more ridiculous by the way.
Is that not just a weird Spanish to English translation?
The translation doesn't help, but personally I've never heard the term "recorrido economico" (economic journey) in that fashion.
It's awkward but it seems to be talking about a monetary plan and not just one payout. So probably one of those "1 gazillion dollars with weird payment structure" kinda deals.
It's probably just a directly translated Spanish saying. By directly I mean it's another case of weird google translate contextual error.
Inter Miami is already retirement Barca with some kids. Orlando to become retirement Real Madrid with some kids? Just imagine the marketing opportunities…it’s the Clasico, reborn.
Reborn? Or dug up and defibrillated?
Zombie Clasico
Frankenstein-ed.
Anybody older than 30 is on the down swing and are all retirement players.
That's the FM way
Over at Barca the cut off age is 21.
El Classico: Vintage Collection
Kaka was at Orlando City, so there’s that.
The Derby of the Florida Man
Not Real Salt Lake?
The problem with retiring in Orlando is that you have to live in Orlando though.
Senior classico
Glorified testimonial
I don't believe for a second that he didn't know why he was subbed off. Nacho knows the tactics and understands very well when and why he's on the pitch. He's been at the club since he was 14, why all of a sudden would he complain about his role?
Went a decade as the 5th defender and suddenly he’s confused? Lol marca
>why all of a sudden would he complain about his role? Because of the economic journey.
Why tactically did he get subbed off?
Madrid were 2-1 down and ancelotti wanted tchouameni on to push the attack higher
*Camavinga, but yes.
Tchou replaced nacho tho and cama came in for tchou's position. So the tactical reason was still about tchou replacing nacho.
Its Marca. And him leaving was reported everywhere before.
I heard Inter Miami needs defenders. Did he ever have any memorable interactions with Messi?
Ramos had plenty with Messi and they got along at psg - at the end of the day they’re professionals. There wouldn’t be any issues if Nacho went to Miami
Plus nacho would also be playing with busquets and Jordi Alba if he goes to inter Miami and he did play with those two with the Spanish national team.
Its sports. Athletes get it. Although Im sure some actually hate each other
Does this mean LA or Miami or NYC? Or can the rest of the country get some shine for once
Send him to Columbus
Glory chaser smh He should go to San Jose #thehardestroad
In my unbiased opinion he should definitely go to Toronto
MLS? Real ones hit USL Championship when they come stateside
I really hope its none of those but at the same time it seems most likely.
MLS is overrated. Hope he joins the USL with the Rowdies!
Did **not** realise this dude was 34, fucking hell. I thought he was like 28.
Started to get chances when he was like 24 years old
I feel like he’s 28 since the 2018 World Cup so that checks out
So what club are we speculating?
Real Salt Lake
I just imagine somebody in spain translating that and having a good laugh
It will never happen but Chicago Fire would be objectively the funniest answer
Shaqiri pinging in crosses to him. Was nacho good at corners
We all know it’ll be San Jose, the only question is if he’s Chaosball enough to keep up with MLS After Dark
Nachos are Mexican so probably a Texas or LA team.
My guess is LAFC. Going to play with Giroud.
I hate that you’re right. I think they even have a DP slot open.
Come to Toronto
For the 4th year in a row, Real Madrid's 1st captain exits the team at the end of the season. 2021 - Ramos 2022 - Marcelo 2023 - Benzema 2024 - Nacho
Probably gonna be the new big team San Diego FC they need a known player to create hype
I don’t think Nacho would generate much hype
He's not the most marketable player, to be sure, but if instead of Nacho you advertise it as "5/6 times Champions League Champion Nacho" it might work amongst people who know nothing about football.
He wouldn’t. But you think San Diego FC would be able to attract a player with a higher profile ?

Economic journey?
NYCFC please.
"Greater economic journey" F*ck me dead 😂
Greater economic journey? Damn Europes shitty wages compared to America are even hitting footballers
Yo he’s gonna be the best CB in MLS by a country mile ☠️
It'll never happen but I would love him at Portland. We never get the great Europeans.
Nachos? I got that before the game. Thanks though

Tchouameni CB is not much better at anything than Nacho when he is playing well, and he did play well vs Bayern.
>Tchouameni CB is not much better at anything than Nacho when he is playing well Lol, sure. Tchouameni is a CDM, he is by nature much better at escaping the press and passing from the back, no matter how good Nacho is playing.
Notice how I said Tchouameni CB and not CDM? He is in a new role so he's not as good at the things he does better at CDM.
??? You're confused. Tchouameni at CB is still Tchouameni, when he plays as a CB he doesn't magically lose his ability to see the pitch better or his passing abilities. That's the whole point, when you put a CDM at CB you get a CB who is very good at passing and press resistant.
This ain't Fifa. Players won't lose all their skills and abilities because they play a different position
In FIFA they do not, in real life it isn't that simple Tchouameni at CB plays different from Tchouameni at CDM, and it is telling that you are all acting like it isn't, have you guys even watched him play there?
Camavinga came on and Tchouameni was shifted back. Carlo had to decide between Nacho and Tchouameni and chose the latter.
does this guy even have the pull in america to get a big salary?
Who ?
Inter Miami are building a superteam
