00:00Please, get Barça out of your head. Please, stop thinking about them, I don't know, because ever since there have been more and more rumors between Rulian Alvarez and FC Barcelona, he's become absolutely rubbish.
00:09It's insane. Just yesterday, against Real Sociedad, he played a terrible match for us. Last year, Pelo had a truly phenomenal season.
00:15I couldn't understand in what world Rulian Alvarez wasn't even in the top 30 for the Ballon d'Or, but whatever. And so, this season for Rulian, well, it was supposed to be the season of confirmation, actually.
00:22And yet, at the start of the season, things had started so well. After a slightly timid August, in September he was unstoppable. Decisive in every match, he had 8 goals and assists in 3 games, a hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano and a superb match against Real Madrid.
00:35But since October, nothing, no more radio finals. Apart from a penalty, his last goal was in matchday 7. I remind you that we're now in matchday 18, it's been quite a while.
00:44Away from home, it's even worse, since his last goal was literally on the first day of La Liga, a free kick against Espanyol Barcelona.
00:50And while last year, Rulian Alvarez very rarely disappointed in the big games, whether against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Champions League games, etc.
00:57Well, this year, for example, against Barça, it was rubbish. An invisible player who doesn't pose a threat, who isn't capable of finishing off attacks when he has a few to work with.
01:04He barely touched the ball in the opposition's penalty area. But this raises the question: What's wrong with him? Is he out of form? Or is it nothing serious?
01:11Wasn't he actually overperforming a bit in the first season or in September?
01:15Most importantly, is he not preoccupied with the transfer rumors?
01:18And above all, isn't he really being completely serious, thinking to himself, well, anyway, I'm going to leave?
01:22His statements don't support that. He seems to be acting in good faith when he explains it, so I'm inclined to believe him, but still.
01:27At some point, the important matches will come, in February. We'll have to wake up.
01:31French subtitles?
