I thought that beautiful combination of passes was while Darmian had the ball on his feet and then passed it to Dzeko. Not sure if it was the same occassion as this one with Barella.
It's just the way he is, I'm sure even his teammates know it by now (I think it's the reason why there has never been any bad reaction or altercation about it. ) , he has nothing against them, look at his reaction when Lautaro's goal was disallowed, it wasn't directed at any one though. He puts the same energy and enthusiasm he has when he plays, in his reaction. I believe it's just his way of living the game. Sure he may be nicer to watch if he was stoic like Dumfries while still having his contribution but nobody is perfect.Honestly this is the best it can be summed up. When he is switched on it doesn't matter if other midfielders aren't - like Mhiki last night. We still play well.
I do worry about the locker room chemistry because he chimps out on his teammates too much, even if he is right about it. Early in the game last night Hakan had the ball on the left side just out of the box, Barella was alone on the right flank and Hakan opted out to shoot. Barella went absolutely ballistic, he flapped his arms so hard I thought he was gonna fly out of San Siro.
So much about team's group decision not to do that shit anymore.
I remember that case. I don't think it means much.Honestly this is the best it can be summed up. When he is switched on it doesn't matter if other midfielders aren't - like Mhiki last night. We still play well.

Ridiculous. Imagine a colleague at work like this at work, yammering and/or losing his shit everytime the printer is out of paper or when the coffee is cold. I'm competitive as he'll but I respect my colleagues at all times and at all levels. Kaku used to act out like this but has toned it down. It's not a good look and to me worth a punch in the face. All the same, fantastic player.I remember that case. I don't think it means much.
Did you notice Hakan's reaction to it? He just nonchalantly showed with his face how he had a good shooting chance so he took it. That's the end of it.
I think this is a non-issue. They are competitive motherfuckers, Barella is just a fierce soul.
This is football though, not office work.Comparison isn't really valid.Ridiculous.

It’s valid in terms of teamwork. Not every footballer continuously yell at his teammates.This is football though, not office work.Comparison isn't really valid.
Some of yall acting like you've never played football or sports in general. You can't tell me that you've never argued and complained with your teammates and not pop a beer after the match as if nothing happened.
Sure, but how often has this made the team play any better? All it does is make everyone on the team get tilted.Some of yall acting like you've never played football or sports in general. You can't tell me that you've never argued and complained with your teammates and not pop a beer after the match as if nothing happened.
Barella's reaction was probably intensified by that as well, as why Lautaro didn't let him to take the chance.First I thought that Barella will hit the ball, and when Lautaro did,.my second thought was "isn't he offside?".
There's a happy medium somewhere in the middle.Next you'll all be complaining how the players lack passion and don't seem to give a fuck.
Rubbish. Try working a sales job in a saturated market. There're stressful situations everywhere. Not just in professional sports. Passion is fine. He just needs to temper it. Note Lukaku. He was just as bad. Focus on the game and helping your team mates. The number of mistakes barella made in the 2nd half he's not in a position to talk.This is football though, not office work.Comparison isn't really valid.
Exactly this. TV viewer from thousand kilometers away having uncomfortable feelings over Barella's intensity on the pitch needs to just bear with it.Barella can flap his hands and go ballistic all he wants that’s who he is his teammates know him by now.
