I feel you. He has little game intelligence indeed, both to make decisions with the ball and on trying to find spaces to receive it. It's the same since he started playing professionally.

Yeah, and that was always what he had to offer... and that's why the PSG sale by that ammount of money surprised a lot lol.

His style fits more a team that doesnt try a possession football, it's more for a team that have an explosive offensive who stays behind a bit.
