his pace is incredible tbh. like i said a few days ago, look out for that eriksen-hakimi-lukaku play. I appreciate we didnt see much of that tonight, but we certainly saw some great work between Lukaku-Hakimi. Lukaku's strength, Hakimi's speed and ability to cut inside. It's gonna be lethal.
Hakimi:"I'm very happy, I'm adapting well, learning what the coach wants from me. Very positive start. I know how to play in this position & my teammates are helping me out a lot to learn as quickly as possible. We'll continue working to win the league, this squad is suitable to do so."
dont let Conte see this, there is too much optimism and championship mentality in this guy.
Someone play speed demon whenever Hakimi burns that right side Is it possible to sign Chiesa to fake dive on the left side while Hakimi runs that right!? Boss tactics
When we signed him months ago and he couldn't play, when we released Candreva or moses or whatever shitter was down the wing I always wondered how it would look if it was hakimi. I never imagined it would be this good.
It's refreshing to see players like him play effective and smart. Smart is the key word, as we've been missing this in a lot of players brought in over the years. It's so annoying watching players doing stupid shit like mindless crossing, shooting, dribbling or diving when you could just watch and think before making your move. Play simple but efficient rather than fancy and dumb!
Yup. Might be a different story when Conte inevitably leaves sooner rather than later and the next gaffer goes to a back 4 but as of right now, I’m loving this guy.
