nickisok Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 the player is named massa, is 20 years and quite a talent. however, he is nothing more in my opinion. last season at PSV he played 11 matches, scoring once. He never had an international cap untill the WC. here he played in 5 out of 6 matches. 3 times he was in the starting line-up, 2 times as substitue. of you look at his stats, can someone explain why he was picked for the starting 11? http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb236/nickwanmaker/?action=view¤t=massa.png p.s. he played as a MR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Injuries, bad manager, small database? Three possible reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickisok Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 game is played on a big database, the manager was (he got sacked after the WC) Rivaldo and as far as i noticed there werent any injuries. picture of rivaldo: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb236/nickwanmaker/?action=view¤t=rivaldo.png the new manager is rogério lourenco and Massa did not play under the new managers first match (friendly against equador). this is not very surprising because he plays 4-2-4, very suicidal. the strikers are Pato,Hulk,Neymar and vagner Love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott1990 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Based off of what I can discern from the Dutch, maybe it's because he's really good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickisok Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 sorry that i forgot to mention it is in dutch. but do you think his stats are good enough for the brazilian national squad? i would say not. but when i looked at the entire squad, i noticed that there arent any decent MR's in Brazil atm. the best ones are neymar (not his natural position) hernanes and a 32 years old maicon. he might just be the best of the rest.

Brian Shanahan Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well I'd say yes if you are not playing with wingers, and Brazilian teams haven't really done that since Garrincha retired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 His stamina is 2! Never seen a player that low. Stamina can be compensated for, but yes the 2 is the only thing I'd be really worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SL Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Maybe the manager needs a player like him. Eg. Ramires - he wouldn't fit into every system and may not in the Brazils top 10 players but he fitted into Dunga's system. Sometimes I require a really hardworking, physically top class midfielder to win the ball and make a simple lay-off. Maybe Rivaldo thought that player complemented his other central midfielder, or w/e. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickisok Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 sorry its dutch. his jumping is 2. stamina is 16. his height is 169cm's, so that explains it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg539 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Have to agree that he made the squad because he probably is the best RM in Brazil, seeing as no-one Brazilian usually plays there! The oddity is Rivaldo choosing a formation that needs a RM, but I suppose its possible given his illustrious career in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKalle Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 He played just because there wasn't a RM called "Alonso" in the database Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
