Soccer Talks

Talking about the changes to sports that COVID has brought as well as existing techniques and rule changes I feel hurt the sport instead of help it. This and more!

As athletes, we should stand against racism and hate. In this podcast, we discuss why it's important for an athlete to stand up against it and make it about the game, and not about the negativity.

Watching FCB vs Juventus highlights was just sad. Seeing how poorly they executed their formation, lack of communication, inability to shut down their man(s), and just overall inability to perform at a Champions League team.

Juventus was able to run all over FCB, namely the same side of the field. The pockets of space they allowed were horrendous and Juv did not hesitate to capitalize on the weakness. The other issue that really hurt FCB was that the pressure on man was non-existent. A Juventus player would receive the ball and Barca's response was to give them 10ft of space. Worst of all, even after giving them so much space, they never attempted to close it down.

Unfortunately, I was only able to watch the highlights but didn't take much to pinpoint Barcalona's shortcomings. If they want to remain a top contender in the world of Soccer, something needs to change. Sadly, I think that change will start when Messi leaves for PSG, Man City, or wherever he ends up.

In this episode, I'm talking about the toxic community and company that TikTok fosters and why, as athletes, we need to remember to respect one another. Our goal isn't just to win games and to be G.O.A.T's but to be role models and inspirations for others. It saddens me that so many players, young players, think it's acceptable to be so horrible to others.
