He wasn’t right. Lots of attackers have thrived under Simeone.

Lots MORE attackers have thrived at barcelona. ergo, he IS right by your own logic

Felix isn’t willing to work hard enough in the system like a Griezmann

yes, this is correct… but that doesn’t make him wrong. his comments are easier to thrive at barca in the possession style, not impossible to thrive at athleti. what he said is factually true for him and his style 100%.

Xavi, with Matteaus/Beckenbauer or Cruyff depending on age of busquets

Iniesta and Buesquets are extremely technical and you’re not going to find anyone that does what they do better in that team. Xavi is decidedly less technical, but more cerebral. You could only replace him with a true total footballer.
