He's already had much better performances than Pogba in the CL and Pogba still has a much bigger hype train (you can guess why).
I guess flashy depends on how you view it. He is capable of doing flashy things but he doesn't do them consistently like a Hazard, Ronaldinho, younger Ronaldo, etc. and he doesn't do it nearly as often as someone like Gundogan does.
You are just busted.
Too many times in this thread have you said something completely off base on him.
Verratti is CONSISTENTLY dribbling in his own box. Like there's not a single game where he doesn't WOW the fans. Saying he doesn't do it as often as Gundogan is just
If anything, Hazard is rarely flashy. Once every 5 games, he does a WOW thing, but he's not really flashy. Not that he can't, but he doesn't. Verratti just loves to do it. To the distress of all his coaches !
Why?
Zlatan, Di Maria, Lavezzi or Cavani aren't more flashy?
Because he causes them heart attacks. At first Blanc wanted to change him. He even benched him a few times. But since then he has admitted it's probably for the better.
Remains his hothead character and more shooting and he'd be the perfect player.
Hmm not so sure I agree. The Pirlo hype became unreal after the 2012 Euros when he bossed around the England midfield and had that panenka penalty. He was regarded as a top 5 midfielder at the world and was one of the most popular players in Europe after that tournament.
Funny enough, Verrati models his game after Pirlo apparently.
Actually I'm always surprised when he shoots from a distance (it happens once every 15 games or so), he's pretty powerful. He had one against St Etienne I think last sunday and it was a bomb. Ruffier saved it.
But you can't say his shot is particularly good when he never uses it. He's the kind of player who when in front of the goalie, would rather pass it to a teammate in a worse angle.
