Barcelona Starts Working On “Operation Defensive Pivot”: Joshua Kimmich, Amadou Onana & Guido

[@manmythandlord2371]

Kimmich isn’t even a proper CDM. Bayern are literally looking for a DM themselves because he cant defend himself and Goretzka has to cover for him. Even Bayern fans say Kimmich is not a six. That should be enough of a red flag to not sign him. Also, stats aren’t everything. If we go by data, then Dani Ceballos from RM is better than Pedri lmao. Look at Datamb Football.

Imo Id take kimmich if frenkie were to leave. But looking at the team all of are midfield are small physically. Gavi is our smallest but the most aggressive and I think someone like amadou Onana would balance it more.

Very good video. Definitely gave me a new perspective of kimmich. Thanks for showing me some of his impressive defensive stats. And his quality may overshadow his flaws in the correct system.

[@NationalistAF]

yeah , need Joshua Kimmich. good luck in getting him. man city wants him as well. i would like to see Joshua Kimmich in Barcelona or Man City.

[@zyxlya810]

I think if Barca can sell Frenkie for around 100m Euros or more and then take that 100m Euro Nike deal injection, it would be amazing since then we could sign Nico Williams, Bernardo Silva, Zubimendi or Kimmich, and then a LB like Davies (which would be genius because then not only r we denying Real Madrid one of the best LB's in the world but we would also be gaining him as a player.) we would easily be able to compete for all the trophies next year.

[@ibinho10]

Gavi is a pivot.. his trait and attributes all say that.. he isn't good in the attacking third.. not a goal threat, nor does he have the ability to pick killer passes, but he has everything to be a destroyer and keep ball possession. Young, strong, energetic, and tenacious.

[@juniordon6302]

Onana please 🙏🏾

[@yo_seb5195]

I can’t think of any top team in Europe that plays with a single pivot. Not Man City, not Madrid, not us, not Arsenal, not Bayern, not PSG, not Leverkusen… the list goes on. All of them have a CDM paired up with another player right beside them. The smartest thing for us to do is pair up De Jong with one of these CDM’s.

[@youstupidfoo565]

They don't understand that. Now FDJ is trash and is the only midfielder that slows the team down 🙄. FDJ will go somewhere else and make them regret the move.

[@0gx33]

Thankyou for your insights. It would be great to see the pivot graphs with an overlay of Busquets

[@jwashington7237]

Kimmich doesn’t play DM for Germany, playing him with Gundogan as a 6 was a disaster for Germany, and he’s never been a single pivot. Why are we making the same mistake as we did with Frenkie?

[@Espacio-WSonga]

We need a pivot with skills, commendable IQ and reliable. Someone who can win duels, retain the ball and distribute it desirably.

Bro onana to me is the player we need enough of the technical players, when Christensen playered in pivot we liked it cause of how his defensive nature gave the other midfielders confidence and freedom to attack so why not get onana, someone more physical and defensive than Christensen also faster too, this guy is like a taller gavi maybe not with as much technicality but guess what, the other 5 or 6 midfielders make up for that technical aspect

[@CJVP99]

Throw all the money at Rodri he’s transform this team into the best in the world

[@anxofernandez3344]

If Frenkie stays, which is a big IF, I wouldn't mind a midfield with Kimmich, FDJ, Gavi and maybe Bernardo Silva if he signs. Yamal can be a Right Wing or a second striker and Balde or Cancelo can take the left side. Gundogan and Pedri can rotate in the interior positions with Gavi and Bernardo. Again IF Frenkie stays, IF Kimmich signs and IF Bernardo signs. I'm not completely sure any of those will happen and I'm more inclined to think they won't and Raphinha, Oriol Romeu , Ansu Fati, Guido and some other random player will have to do. Until it's confirmed we're on the 1:1 FFP rule, until it's confirmed there are negotiatons for important sales, until the deal with Nike is confirmed and until the payment from Barça Studios is officially received, I won't believe a thing.

[@hernanolmosvelazquez4303]

I hate this club sometimes 🤣🤣🤣 Why tf is Kimmich number 1 on the list. Zubimendi wanted to play UCL with Sociedad and he did. Now is our chance to take him. He would cost the same as a 30 year old Kimmich and has a better profile for Barcelona DNA. The only 2 established players that could be partial replacements for what Busquets was are Rodri and Zubimendi but there is no way we’re affording Rodri. Onana is good but doesn’t match the profile we need. He’s another CDM we would need to accommodate with 4 midfielders to play the way we want to

[@ibinho10]

We love 30yrs old 😂😂

tbh apart from being an economical solution, kimmich aint really solve many problems we have with fdj. we more in need of a more static type of dm you know. but well, if we really sell fdj (not that i want to, but fdj needs to leave due to his salary), then a replacement of fdj aint bad. kimmich is older than fdj so actually it means we would have less time with than we would fdj, maybe we aint really need a long term solution on the market, cuz we have talents with huge potential in the academy that aspire to rise to the first time in 2 3 years, in both static and dynamic pivot position, namely pau prim and marc bernal, respectively

[@cule4569]

Zubimendi needs to be the first choice.

[@yo_seb5195]

3:40 not true at all. All of our midfielders need to be comfortable holding the ball and need to be press resistant. Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta were such great midfielders not because the moved the ball fast but because it was almost impossible to pick the ball out of their feet. Guido can’t do that. And that’s one of the many reasons we NEED to keep FDJ. No midfielder is currently as comfortable as FDJ when it comes to holding onto the ball and being press resistant like FDJ. Not even Rodri. And btw the reason Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta all touched the ball quickly was due to their chemistry with each other and positional play. No matter who we get, we won’t get that anymore. They used to pass the ball and quickly move into a position where they could receive it again. There are no midfielders anymore that have that type of off the ball movement like they did. Now midfielders pass the ball and they think their job is done.
