  1. Posted because I think there is a lot of actual content in these training videos if you watch closely. My thoughts on this one since we have almost the whole team back.

    1. I think Juan David will start. He looks super fast, fit, hungry, and has a very strong left foot. We need speed and solidity on the left flank which we haven’t seen for many seasons.
    2. Similarly Kephren I think will start for sure. He’s so different than any other player we have. Built to break the lines, long striding dribbles and pretty strong techinically.
    3. Always nice to see Danilo back, he’s definitely in the leader in the team, has the aura, has the composure. Personally hope we save the money on Todibo and see if Danilo and Bremer can adapt to Motta style. Use that money on Koop. Todibo is great but I think our current CBs are plenty good enough to hit our goals. Danilo isn’t young anymore but he’s our only on field leader really.
    4. Miretti has been shining in preaseason training, so have some of the young academy guys. Great to see. Probably means very little. I assume Miretti always does well in training given how many apps he gets. Problem is during the game he’s just wasteful.
    5. Where is Tek? Kostic? McKennie? Surprised they’re not in here yet or maybe I missed it.

  2. Todibo is no where near the same player as Danilo or Bremer. Motta wants him because he wants him to do the Calafiori role of taking the ball out from defense and moving to midfield as we saw with Djalo and Facundo on the first friendly where they both failed. Yes, Danilo could do it but he’s getting old and has seen his fair well of injuries lately. Bremer is not comfortable with his feet. Todibo is the asnwer
