Yohan Cabaye (now sporting coordinator at Paris Saint-Germain)


Recommended Posts

Don't think it's anything to worry about, he's still training. Skysports have just decided to go with a scare story for Newcastle fans, no mention of the derby from anyone.

 

Aye i thought that as well, having said that the amount of injuries caused by international breaks this season already is getting a bit ridiculous tbh.

Could have worked either way though. Given that we had Ferguson and Santon on their stronger sides (only in terms of crossing), we could easily have broken at pace down the wings and crossed in a few for goals. The problem was that we started too slowly early on. We really have been good at defending set pieces in the last year or so. If that had worked out yesterday, maybe it'd have been Man Utd making the formation changes trying to keep up with our game instead of us putting 5 in the middle.

 

 

We launch the ball from Harper, they win it in the aerial duel with the strikers and they go from their. Possession was 80-20 in the first 20. They got the ball and just ran rings around us. Our wide players out of the game.

 

 

You have to compete in the middle of the pitch by all means.

Sorry can't be bothered to translate it but basically the Spanish especially Del Bosque are saying that Cabaye is the most talented midfielder the French have, he takes the free kicks, he directs the game, he's a little bit their Xavi.

 

 

Karim Benzema, « l'un des meilleurs attaquants du monde et un joueur extraordinaire », selon Vicente Del Bosque, et Franck Ribéry sont les deux joueurs que craignent le plus les Espagnols, à la veille de recevoir les Bleus, à Madrid. Mais ils sont aussi noté l'importance de Yohan Cabaye dans le jeu français. « On connaît bien les Français, assure Cesc Fabregas. Il y a eu quelques changements depuis l'Euro, de nouveaux joueurs, mais il y a toujours les deux meilleurs, Benzema et Ribéry, et aussi Cabaye à la création. Il faudra faire un grand match pour les battre.»

 

Vicente Del Bosque, qui a aussi souligné que le forfait d'Abou Diaby était une absence importante pour l'équipe de France, est allé plus loin, concernant le joueur de Newcastle?: « C'est sans doute le joueur le plus talentueux que la France ait au milieu, juge le sélectionneur espagnol. Il tire les coups de pied arrêtés, il dirige le jeu. C'est un peu leur Xavi. »

Malgré sa victoire en quart de finale du dernier Euro (2-0), l'Espagne ne s'attend donc pas un match facile, face à son principal adversaire pour la première place du groupe. « Après ce match, il y aura encore quinze points en jeu, note Del Bosque. C'est vrai que cette double confrontation peut être capitale pour les deux équipes, presque comme un match de Coupe. Mais on fait des prévisions aujourd'hui et, après, on peut aussi perdre des points ici ou là. » - L. D., à Madrid

He's currently part of the French team watching the Spanish keep the ball and run rings around them. No goals yet though, Spain are looking for perfection first.

 

He'll be getting used to it for Sunday when Sunderland DOMINATE possession.

So you agree, then.

 

Eh I don't agree with your point. You were continuing the point made by timeEd32 that "his set pieces, which are free from excuses about formations, positions, etc., have been absolute garbage all season" by exteding it to virtually all of last season too. My point was that his direct freekicks have been good and over generalizing that his set pieces are absolutely garbage is rubbish.

His corners really aren't that bad. We have absolutely no aerial threat and it doesn't matter how good the delivery is from a corner, if none of your players can beat the centre half to the ball, forget it.

Im a big Cabaye fan and defend him constantly. But his corner aren't very good Wullie. Rarely beats the first man, and when they do its those floating ones which the goalkeeper has full control over.
