I propose adding the “hockey assist” to football, aka the pre assist. It will stop people running agendas against players like Pedri, who do not show up on the statistic sheets, despite consistently playing passes like that for the 2nd goal. @OptaJoe.

Unpopular opinion: José Mourinho would be a more reasonable option for Real Madrid right now than Xabi Alonso. Xabi has shown in these 3 years to be a great coach, but this Madrid dressing room is full of big egos. We KNOW for a fact Mourinho is the ideal guy to handle that.
