    I always had a soft spot for Morata, because his struggles are very relatable to me. Suffering under pressure, caring too much what people think of him, focusing on negativity - yes, all of this makes him a worse player than he could’ve been. But such is human nature. He’s flawed. And I love that he still managed to have a great career and captained his country to the euros.

    Morata has an amazing career. In this day and age people will make you believe if you're not the VERY best striker then you're trash. He always had a decent scoring record, won many trophies, is loved by teammates and is great off the ball.
    He's a decent striker, not world class, not trash. Decent.

      He’s always been a winger in his Youth but converted striker in professional career. Scoring wasn’t his biggest atribución. It’s been his speed, aggressive play and skills. People really don’t understand you don’t have to score 50 goals a season to be considered great. He’s borderline such a team player. More about the team than him. That captain armband is the reasons he’s captain for Spain. 🇪🇸 he’s truly a team player.

    Never the prodigal son, the chosen one, the striker a golden Spanish generation deserves. But he has been there during very ugly years for the national team, he is high in the scoring rank to back it up and has been an integral part to get the job done this Euro.
    While a striker with the technical quality of Kane could be in theory the perfect fit to assist players like Nico or any of our often great wingers. I'd take his workrate for our high press alone every single day of the week ahead of the current "best european strikers". He won't be remembered like Villa, but he will be remembered non the less. He has earned his spot.
    PS: The amount of revenue he has generated with transfers is still utter nonsense.

    I remember hyping Morata back in 2016 and was happy to try and sign him at Manchester United before we signed Lukaku and Morata joined Chelsea. My thoughts on Morata changed after he's disastrous move for Chelsea and was admittedly part of the crap on Morata bandwagon before I've realized about his all round game at Atletico Madrid. He'll never be like David Villa but his industry is pretty good. Last season he had his best season ever with Atletico Madrid but went off the boil in the second half of La Liga. Played a role in winning Euro 2024 and still gets hate from the football world. Yes his goal scoring record is average but no means he's a bad striker. Morata has won a lot of silverware and played for a lot of big clubs, I have to appreciate him for achieving a lot in football despite all the hate he gets.

  • @DillaryHuff
    @DillaryHuff 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    As a Real Madrid fan, I have split opinions about Morata. First of all, we would not have won the double under Zidane if it wasn't for his clutch-ness during the first half of that season. I don't think he gets enough credit for how decisive he was during that time. He was about as decisive as Ramos throughout that season, but Ramos is remembered for scoring in finals, while Morata perhaps suffered from the eventual return of Gareth Bale + Cristiano hitting form after the turn of the year. A lot of football fans have recency bias, and don't seem to care much for the players who put in the effort to get the team somewhere during the earlier parts of a season. They care about the business end to a much, much greater extent.
    And then he became a journeyman. He wanted game time and he wanted to become a starter, which is a completely fair demand for a player who was young and on the rise. But in an odd twist of fate, his comments to the media seemed to express that he was falling out of love with the game. At some point, he seemed to lose some of his ambition and drive for football, and that doesn't quite make sense considering all of the moves he's made since leaving Real Madrid.
    Ultimately, I think he's fallen quite short of where he was projected to be in his 30s. And I'm sure there are a lot of reasons for that, but I do believe he had the talent to get far once. My speculation is that he was never quite up for it mentally. 70 or 80% focus and effort is never going to get you into the upper echelons of the sport.

  • @DellyWellyCOH
    @DellyWellyCOH 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    If morata had a decent shot he'd be one of the best number 9s in the world right now. I truly believe that. His touch, vision, passing, positioning, are all elite level, he's quite physically imposing, has a decent turn of pace, and he plays well both on and off the ball, but when he gets in front of goal, if the ball bobbles even slightly, if there's solid physical contact that may throw him off, if there's a slight deflection on a pass coming to him, he struggles to put the ball on target, with power, in a position that it could pass the keeper. Even while wide open on goal he seems to have too much hesitancy, as if any chance missed will result in his life crumbling around him, which, as it turns out, often causes him to miss in those situations, or to pass off to a teammate in a worse position than him to score. In fact, that a player with nearly 300 contributions in nearly 600 career matches in 3 of the top 4 european leagues is seen as just a soild journeyman is a testament to how much better of a player he really could be. Unfortunate but the fact that he is nearly 32 seems to suggest that he has reached his peak already. :(

    I liked Morata when he was in Real Madrid the second time.
    He was doing good as his play style favors a lot him coming from the bench. I’ll explain.
    Morata has two strong aptitudes.
    First it’s his height and he is useful those last minutes when you need to put a lot of people in the box to try score with the head, and he scored many with Madrid like that.
    The second one, as the video said, is his movement and his placement. He is really good when he doesn’t have the ball, dragging defenders away from the ball and moving them out of position. And that is mostly effective in the las 20-25 min of the game, when it starts to become crazy and the organization of the team starts to break.
    Summarizing, I think Morata is one of the best players any team can have in the bench to revolutionize the match and make a difference in those last minutes of the games. But he failed to see that and wanted more minutes and being in the starting eleven, which unfortunately didn’t work well for him.

    When you compare to world class strikers that score 30+ per league season he is simply not nearly good enough. And then people ask themselves how did below average striker manage to lead the line for so many top clubs over objectively better players. Got to give props to his manager though.

    Not a morata fan but just had to respect the way he helped track back, defend and do the dirty work when he was the main striker. Yes, that was probably part of their game plan but we know there r those who wouldve said "fuck off" to that.
    There r attackers who im a fan of, who also happen to be the captains of their teams and they can barely be bothered to even move into their own half.
    So yeah, respect to the dude for sacrificing and doing what was best for the team.

    Morata is one of my favourite players. A lot of people will laugh because they do what everyone else tells them to do, and don't have a mind of their own. I love Morata because he really has been a crucial player for Spain, but I also loved watching him at Atletico, and was wishing to see him at Barça, but we got Auba instead. Which was great.
    Morata is a very balanced striker. Whatever instructions you give him he will be able to follow. He can drift wide on the wing, he can drop deep, he can score crucial goals. The big problem with him is his inconsistency in finishing, and he seems to be very human, a good guy. Who needs an arm around his shoulder and needs to feel appreciated. I think it's an endeering quality, but it is a reason behind his constant moving around and lack of form at certain clubs.

    As a German the initial quote is quite interesting, because Toni Kroos alludes to the same thing about Germany and som occasions and is full of praise for Spain.

    Morata had an amazing season before January. However he almost did not score at all from february to the end of the season, only scoring in gameweek 36. A breaking point for us was when he missed a crucial goal, 1 to 1 with the goalkeeper, that would've basically put us in the UCL semi's (and finals potentially too bc psg wasn't that good) Our fans felt we needed to do a club revolution and we were saying it had to start with morata

    As an Atletico fan, I am happy that he left. His first half of this season was great, but the second half was awful especially in the UCL.
    I think HITC sevens described him in the best way, a player who is almost world class, who had everything that a great striker should have but lack of confidence and mentality has ruined him. he would have certain burst is form, where you will think now his moment of shine has arrived, then he would disappear like there is just a body on the field.

    @lrod5245 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sorry, I love Morata. I have witnessed his radical transformation in the last few seasons, completed this season-he now plays one-touch 90% of the times. He didn’t before. This makes a huge difference for Atleti and Spain. Besides, he is a pain in the neck for any defense. Do not underestimate his contribution both attacking and defending as a TEAM PLAYER. He only has one defect-he joined Atleti and confessed that he had always been an Atleti fan, since his grandpa took him as a child to the Vicente Calderón Stadium and later played in Atlet’s children and youth teams. Real Madrid supporters cannot forgive him for that, and the vast majority of Spanish journalists are Real Madrid fans. They feel deceived. They thought of him as one if their own after he joined Real Madrid youth team and later the professional team. It still hurts. They don’t pass him any error. They are brutally unforgiving and extremely unfair. Therefore his bad press.

    He plays for clubs that are on S Tier level, and he himself is B Tier.

People hate morata because he plays for this clubs but he need 10 decent chances to score one goal.

He was also inconsistent and had a bad mentality. Always focus on the negative and the outer media too. Morata have had a nice career so far, but could have been much more if he concentrated on the game, run his mouth less, and focus less on the outer media. As a Madrid fan, I will always despise the guy, his outside comments and ungratefulness are something I cant tolerate

    He demands play time to show how good he is and when that play time is given to him, he shows he is not good enough. And he blames the media and the fans for not wanting him in a team. That goalkeeper that never plays in Manchester City has won a lot of trophies by just being part of the team. Morata has a lot of trophies in teams where he wasn't important, so I don't know if that makes him better than other players. He still blames de media and the fans for that. Every team he signs for turns magically in the team he always dreamed to sign for since he was a child, it doesn't matter which team it is, Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea or Atletico Madrid, it is always his dream. He sees himself as a victim no matter what he does. In this Euros Spain was supporting him A LOT. I didn't see anything negative towards Morata, and he still blames the media and the fans for not wanting him in the team for some reason. He doesn't respect fans, I don't know why he expects fans to respect him. I don't hate him, but I really dislike how he behaves. Players should be good examples of behaviour like Henry, Beckham, Zidane, Totti, Ballack, Kroos, or Bellingham and many others in my opinion.

He had this victim attitude since he was in the younger categories of Real Madrid. And instead of working in how the exterior affects him, he always complained about the team environment, the fans and the media (and his father, like you just watched, worked inside the media) or he just reject the exterior and makes his own version of the situation. If since the begining of his path everyone is wrong, he goes to england and everyone is wrong, he goes to Italy and after a good start he decays and THEN everyone is wrong, he comes back to Spain and after a couple of good season starts he ends up saying everyone is wrong... I only see ONE thing in common in his carreer. Have you ever saw anything about Lukaku? Is he ever complaining about the media and the fans?? If Morata had another attitude he would have enjoyed football.
