Nicolò Barella

[brehme1989]

Good game overall, but every time he's in the box the ball gets stuck in his feet. Just shoot the ball ffs.

And everytime he shoots in the box people complain he didn't take more time

 

[bubba zanetti]

Our best midfielder definitely. In big matches like this you prove how good or bad you are. And he proves it more than Mhiki and Hakan. If he could stop doing some monkey stuff and be more mature..

 

[bubba zanetti]

Next season he could end in Real. Ancelotti really wants him there.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

Every once in a while in these type of high level matches you get reminded why Barella is still our best midfielder.

People shouldn’t even need to see these types of performances to know that. Even when he’s playing like shit for his standards he’s still our most important player.

Don't understand the hate this guy is getting.
Yes he's passionate, and complains during the game

But he's devoted!! Backed up by him agreeing the extension, as other bigger clubs had an eye on him.

 

[Materazzi_23]

Best player on the field. His work rate is unbelievable and if I run as much as he does I would to go crazy everytime a teammate misplaces a pass.

Real don't need mids right now. They have more than they know what to do with.

Does anyone doubt that? It's not even close either. He is our midfield.

Thats the problem with sports fans, recency bias, it skews everything. Atletico targeted Hakan all game giving barella the time and space he needed to thrive. He was our best player on the night (alongside Toro, Pavard and Bosstoni) but Hakan has been our best and most important midfielder this season. No question.

All in all, Barella is our engine, but given our style of play, Hakan and Mhiki are arguably more crucial in terms of keeping possession and breaking down defenses.

I sense a goal coming from you soon

what? are you trolling?

 

[Broseph]

Let’s be honest. Barella deserves to play with the Mbappes, Haalands and Bellinghams of this world to fulfill his full potential. He deserves to play in a super club he has overgrown Inter and there is nothing wrong with that

I would say he needs to learn to be more selfish, but if he hasn't learned that now then he's never going to. Even when he's in on goal, his first instinct is to look for somebody else. Besides his tendency to bitch and moan to the referee, it's the most annoying thing about his game.

Finished the game alone in midfield. Forwards helped him but man, what a warrior.

 

[KevinB]

Amazing player, but boy his finishing is really shit

 

[Besnik]

Which is quite weird considering how a deadly right foot he possesses. He needs to work on his calmness when he's getting into opportunities.

Last year he did a lot better with his shooting.

I dunno, his finishing has always been an issue. He tends to get into opportunities in the box, but lack of composure is letting him down.

You can't say Barella doesn't have a good shooting, because that isn't true. But some players are just mentally too shaky in such moments, and hopefully he's gonna improve in this area. Lautaro has the same issue, but not at such high extent as Barella.

Missing penalties this often as Lautaro does, is more about lack of calmness rather than poor shooting.

His deadly right foot lacks accuracy and his shoots are usually overpowered. Till he doesn't solve these issues he's going to miss more chances.
