I mean he was he's he's such a tiny.

I think he suffered a little bit probably last season at Barcelona in terms of you know the

The high line and occasionally crazy high lining games against the top teams and not knowing quite when to drop.

But I mean, he was absolutely imperious at the World Cup.

they signed us.

I mean, you see lots of superstars come through, don't you?

But they're nearly always in forward positions.

Central defenders tend to come along a little bit later because you you you know, there's a little bit more, I think you have to think about the game a little bit more at the back, whereas it's just pure and natural when you're going forward.

But to have that kind of tactical brain and the acumen at his age is very unusual for.

Central defender, is it?

At the other end of the pitch, it's quite interesting to see what he's doing up front, isn't it?

He's playing Rafinia a lot as as as a nine because obviously Lewandowski's now gone.

And you know, he he's shown that he can play on the right, he could play on the left, he can play up the middle and he's banging the goals in as you said, they've not played the stronger teams in the Spanish league yet.

But that in itself is an interesting shift.

Before we move on to to uh we'll go Germany next, but the Alvarez situation is is actually plague, which is is something he's not been stood down or anything.

But um that was kind of an unusual, awkward situation.

A new challenger, um well it's not a new challenger, they've challenged before in previous seasons.

Uh Bruce and Dortmund have had a bit of a go in the transfer market, because not normally obviously the only big spenders in Germany are are Bayern.

Munich's usually stealing the players off those that are challenging them most closely.

So interesting shift there, but Bayern with the talent they've got will still take a hell of a lot of beating.
