Recently, Santiago Giménez (21) has established himself as starter for Feyenoord.
The 🇦🇷 born 🇲🇽 international seemingly has all the tools needed to become a complete striker.
A thread to break down his qualities:
• Signature moves
• Chance creation
• Multifaceted threat

🇪🇸🇷🇸 Stefan Bajčetić (18, CDM) is special. 🔥
The way he invites pressure & beats it. How he opens up his angles. The reading of play, which once he speeds up the thought-process, will make him a ball magnet.
Developing rapidly. Scouting report soon.

Arne Slot all over my timeline. As you know, I'm a Feyenoord fan. Read the most ridiculous opinions, talking about (lack of) aura, baldness, etc.
Best manager I followed up close & if anyone has charisma/authority/aura, it's him.

Dušan Vlahović - the thread
Before you decide to go with the majority & write off this 23-year-old, I urge you to take out 10–15 minutes of your time to read my thread & watch the clips.
It may change your mind, or it may not. But at least it'll be an informed decision.

If there's one football nation that deserves good things, it's 🇷🇴.
Always had a soft spot for them and followed them through the years. My first World Cup was '94, where they were a joy to watch.
Our suffering has been something, but it can't compare to theirs. Hai Romania! 💪🏼

Incredible how both Nikola Jokić & Novak Đoković are just 2 wins away from historic achievements, at literally the same time.

: Stefan Bajčetić (18, CDM)
Shows maturity & composure way beyond his age. Add the anticipation, mobility, ball-winning, passing & it's easy to see why he's an elite talent.
Still far from a finished product, though.
As for 🇷🇸. It's not over until he rejects Piksi.

He's far from perfect, but he's better than any football coach we've ever had, by a distance. Not just as a coach, but also when it comes to (lack of) ego & player management.

Sergej Milinković-Savić. A professor of football.
We know, Serie A fans know, Piksi definitely knows, as he gave him the keys to our midfield & now, hopefully, the entire planet gets to find out at the World Cup.

Heartbreaking, but proud as can be!
One minute of poor decisions & Jokić's foul trouble changed it all.
Bogi's heart is the size of America though. Never naturalized a player. All us. If this showed us anything, it's that we're a basketball nation and should be proud of it.

Sportklub claiming not only Piksi is done, but the entire FSS leadership will be forced to leave.

🇬🇭 has serious potential, if they're able to make a team out of all the talent:
Fatawu, 18, CAM
Sulemana 19, LW
Kudus 22, CAM
Lamptey 22, RB
Salisu 23, CB
Bukari 23, RW
Also adding Iñaki Williams, who's in his prime. Nketiah, Brobbey, N. Williams still eligible. Exciting times.

Back to reality. This sets us up for another 🇨🇭, Vs a team that is similar (disciplined, organized, tough to beat).

Tried to stay positive, but everything we do well, he ruins with his mark on it. The worst coach we've ever had.

Dušan Vlahović keeps adding elements to his game. A year ago, you wouldn't have seen him pull off a through ball like this.
2 assists & a goal with his right today. Whatever weakness he has, rest assured, he will overcome it.
Top-class mentality.

The Feyenoord academy has brought forth some great players recently: Kökçü, Malacia, Geertruida.
All a level or 2 below a world-class player like Van Persie, though.
If there's 1 talent who could potentially reach similar heights, it's 🇲🇦🇳🇱 Ayoub Ouarghi (15, AM).

Something completely different. It's very amusing to me, to see people defending the Højlund fee (85M), while they - mostly in hindsight - were critical of Vlahović's fee (82M).

Saša Lukić's reaction when he was substituted.
The reaction of a player who knows he has a lot to offer to the team & plays in full service of it. Also our main defensive force in midfield.

• 7th in tackles won
• 2nd in dribblers tackled

Some may not like this statement, but usually there’s something wrong with a foreigner if he’s playing in 🇷🇸 during his prime.
Whether it’s quality, mentality or lack of ambition. But that’s definitely not the case for Hwang In-beom.
The universe mysteriously aligned for him

If you don't think we would've passed this group even with someone like Tumba, let alone a solid coach, then stop watching football.
It was literally the blind fighting the blind in this group & we were still in it until the last minute.
Ruined 2 more years with this idiot.

622
Kept so many avenues alive from the moment he came on. Whereas Mitro was done from the 50th minute onward.
If we get a half-decent coach, you'll see the value he can add. Just don't ask him to do stuff you want from a 10 or at least a cultured forward.
Just let him be that 9.

Blindside runs are nothing unusual for STs, but what makes Giménez stand out is his impeccable timing.
Good awareness & plenty of variation in movement across the full width of the pitch. Quality diagonal & 1st post runs to pull away CBs & create space.

Koeman keeping Zirkzee on the bench for Depay and Weghorst is a move that will be considered more ridiculous with each passing year.

Pfff what a goal by Aleksić! One of the best headers I've seen all year!
Not everything goes right, but he's already the main man at Radnički. The creativity, the ability to play through contact & solid movement between the lines are there.

If there's 1 player who proves that career paths aren't always obvious or linear, it's Nemanja Matić.
Considered not good enough by both Zvezda & Partizan, ended up in 🇸🇰, where he was still an attacking mid.
A local 🇷🇸 coach tipped our U21s & soon he was an A-international.

Next to UCL football in 🇷🇸, we gained another right-back. Ogi Mimović. Turned 20 just 11 days ago.

So composed already, secure in his passing. Strong in duels & carrying.

Giménez shows great resilience & a real competitive edge. Of course the Eredivisie - with its naive defending & openness - is a striker's dream, but the signs are promising.
If Feyenoord is to win the title & qualify for the Champions League, Giménez could well the X-factor.

I've said this a 1.000 times, but today was a great example of the football we play without the man below.
Without him, we go back to the dark ages of crossing the ball a zillion times & failing to control midfield.
Without him, Tadić doesn't get the ball where he needs to get

At least that's the end of Piksi.

More than just shades of Vidić last night, but with progressive play & pace.
Remember, Nemanja made his debut for the NT 9 days before he turned 21, while Strahinja at the age of 21 already has 21 caps to his name.
The kid deserves some credit.

It's been a while since 🇷🇸 produced a freakishly tall technician. Think of players like Nemanja Matić & Sergej Milinković-Savić.

The day of reckoning has come. A day on which we can't lose.
• Loss: Piksi's gone. No man would survive 6 tournament matches without win
• Draw: we knock out 🇭🇷, keep hope for another day & perhaps face 🇧🇪 - 'easiest route'
• Win: break a 24-year curse, deal with Piksi later

Easy to praise a player when he's in the right system, on his A-game. But anyone who's ever played upfront knows what confidence means for a striker.
His form can be doubted, but motivation & in my opinion, class, can not.
Only a matter of time before he bounces back.

Preparing a large Vlahović thread. That'll give you my full opinion on him, so I don't have to answer all the trolls. It's overdue anyway.

Hopefully done tomorrow.

🇷🇸 Vladimir Lučić (21, LW) came on in 77th minute & with his 3rd ball contact treated Kyle Walker - 1 of the best 1v1 defenders in the world - like your average Superliga FB.

Hattrick for 🇷🇸 Jovan Mijatović (18, SS) today in only his 4th league start of the season. 8 goals & 2 assists so far.

I think so.

As for the new coach, a question all of us have.
• Veljko Paunović & Ivan Jovanović just got new jobs. So off the market
• Vladimir Ivić recently said he needs to develop more before he takes the job - a man with self-reflection
• So Slaviša Jokanović seems most realistic at

Mitrović to Al Hilal seems done. Obviously not the career move we'd hoped for, but when I see how quickly many Fulham fans turned on him, I'm reminded of a Vidić quote.

I've been preaching about this man for a long time. But hopefully today, even those who doubted him, saw that Strahinja Pavlović is the real deal.
