listening to pundits say “oh arne should’ve at least let lucho play a little bit on wednesday if only to help his mental state” and it’s like… bro is a professional athlete who has to play a high endurance sport at least once a week. he should be comfortable not playing in additional games (where we clearly didn’t need him (which is a GOOD thing)) and rather getting the opportunity to be playing on completely fresh legs in our next pl match.

#i do not understand the logic of ‘these players should be allowed to exhaust themselves bc psychology’#like 1. he’s not a child and should understand that sometimes you don’t play every game let’s not act like he’s a u-10 #and 2. isn’t it better that he’s being expected to do the base requirement so he can shine in the pl games that matter #rather than the group stage cl games that (atp) matter very slightly less #rodri is out here saying players are exhausted from these insane schedules #and pundits are desperate for one dude to be playing 180 minutes of footy a week #also like why does it matter? we won. it’s more guys than lucho. we clearly did not need him that day which is FINE and actually very good!#it’s not even like we just barely won. we won by 2 #this is not a commentary on lucho btw bro didn’t say shit #it’s a commentary on old retirees who were given a microphone and license to act like mindreaders
