I remember there was some talk in the CL thread about a commentator calling Antonio Valencia one of the fastest players in the world and people (myself included) not believing it. Apparently it's true  Measured top speed, acording to FIFA posted:1. Antonio Valencia, Manchester United: 35,1 km/t (This test was done on star players, so that guy you know thats a sprinter and also sort of good at football doesnt count)

Ravel posted:I dont believe any of these. Mainly because I don't buy that the fastest players in European football from every league are coincidentally also the most technically able, aside from Valencia and Lennon. Everyone knows that Messi and Ronaldo are absolutely stupidly fast though?

Ravel posted:Right but I don't buy that Messi is any quicker than, say, Abate. Besides Messi isn't so much a sprinter as he is good at turning ninety degrees at top speed. You just dont notice it because everything else he does is so good, but Messi's acceleration is godly.

Are we all just asuming that Bayern have no interest in keeping Mandzukic?
