what are your honest opinions on julian draxler's career?

personally i thought he was genuinely going to be a big star because he was this young wonderkid at schalke who won the world cup as a 20 year old (he didn't do much though to be fair) but it never really turned out that way ... he's not done terribly per se, he is playing for psg, living that sweet life en france, and somehow still getting callups to the german national team but i am just kind of sad that he never reached the full potential that he had ... i thought he would be the captain of the "new" germany generation, one of the leaders, but now he barely gets to play ... i am kind of extra worked up about his case because he seems like a nice and sweet person as well ... anyways maybe i just have a bad track record of predicting career trajectories, all the youngsters i thought would succeed haven't (yet), at one point i believed that julian weigl and max meyer would also be world beaters and here we are ... i don't know what it is, probably a mix of injuries, bad luck, and maybe just not working hard enough ... long long sigh

anyways if you read all that you're an absolute superstar because i really went and wrote an essay oops ... i look forward to your live blogging tomorrow as it is always entertaining ... lots of love xxx

i hope u know that deep down.... like. Deep Down... i am always always always craving to talk about julian...... like trust me... i promise essays on monsieur draxler are always welcome here because i used to write that much about him and sometimes still think that much about him too...

objectively speaking, i think he is doing alright! pretty good by a lot of standards probably, for most of the reasons u listed. he’s getting paid obscene amounts (probably more than he deserves at this moment in time), has a seemingly great personal life, and as u said, still getting his national team callups.

my personal thoughts, on the other hand, are... well....... not really of the same sentiment. i already know i’m gonna write up an even longer essay so let me just tuck the rest of this ramble under a cut for the sake of my followers lmao

honestly for me... thinking about julian is kind of depressing. if you feel worked up about him, just know that i relate. he seems very happy where he is in his life at the moment and so of course i’m happy for him too but compared to the potential it seemed he had... it’s just a bit sad. mostly because it isn’t as though he’s an excellent player hindered by injuries (e.g. reus) or anything really beyond his control - i think a lot of what’s so disappointing about his career trajectory is really just to do with him and him only.

yes, his failed transfer to juve back when he was at schalke wasn’t his fault but to move to wolfsburg? i know hindsight is 20/20 but i almost wish he’d just stayed at schalke. the drama he got into while he was at wolfsburg really did not do any good for his image, putting aside the fact that he was putting in average (even inconsistent) performances for the team. at schalke, maybe he could’ve had more time to develop within a team he grew up in and just use his time there to work and work hard. (there’s something i want to say about mentality here but i’ll bring that up later)

then, when his transfer to psg was announced, i felt like that was some beacon of hope although honestly, i think anything compared to wolfsburg could’ve looked that way to me at the time lmao keeping up with that club just for him (and partly andré schürrle) was fucking painful my god

at psg he was off to a decent start and things were starting to look up! wasn’t starting every single match but he was playing fairly well and made quick friends with his new teammates (u know who lol) etc. but then of course any sort of rhythm/momentum he gained was totally thrown off by mbappé’s and neymar’s arrivals which i think were both only around half a year after his transfer.

and so basically since then, he’s been “competing” for a spot with ney, kylian, and di maría.

(ok reading that back i realize that whole recap of his career was not really necessary or at least. making it as lengthy as i did wasn’t but. i’m too lazy to go back and reword everything so bear with me lmao)

taking all that into account, i think yes, to some extent, he has some excuse for the stagnation of his career. he’s had his injuries and he’s been played out of position for large portions of time.

but i think what really frustrates me about him is that as a fan who’s loved him for years it’s really sad to see that what’s holding him back is not necessarily a lack of ability but just that he doesn’t have the sort of drive i wish he did. it’s been on display in his performances before - he can be lazy and invisible - but i think what’s worse is how that translates off the pitch. he’s just never really seemed to fight for a spot in the starting eleven. and if the rumors are true (as they do seem so) the parisian nightlife has not been doing him very good lmao

not only that though but i think he just doesn’t care as much about football as he does about ... image? money? i don’t know. i don’t know what the word i’m looking for is. i don’t think julian is a superficial sort of person and i’m not saying ambition is a bad thing at all, but when he couldn’t go from schalke to juventus (and that failed transfer was riding, presumably, a lot on his wonderboy status at schalke), he followed the money to wolfsburg. put in performances that understandably received criticism at wolfsburg, then very publicly made a whole thing out of wanting to leave and not being able to. then followed the money to psg where he just ... vibes on the bench. well, at least up until this season. but even then, if it weren’t for all the covid cases and red cards, i don’t know if he would be playing as much as he has.

so tl;dr: i love julian a lot still and he’s still the same sweet dorky fuckboi-ish guy i’ve been a fan of since the start and i’m happy that he’s happy! the tragic irony is that what makes him happy - collecting checks while being a bench player - is also what depresses me quite a bit about him. he has his flashes of brilliance every once in a while where you can see that 17-year-old schalke wonderboy in him, so you know that hype from long ago wasn’t all a waste and that somewhere in there is a very talented, perhaps starworthy footballer. but he isn’t. not because he can’t but because he doesn’t really care to. and not in a dismissive sense i don’t think. i don’t think he thinks “ah who cares about being the best player in the world fuck that” but moreso in the sense of “ah i think i’m doing alright! that’s good enough for me.” and that sort of mentality is what places him (or at least, contributes to his position being) a tier below his peers who have proven themselves (e.g. kimmich, although that also brings up the whole “can that sort of fighter/die-on-the-pitch type mentality be taught or must it be inherent” kind of thing so let’s move on before i write an essay within this essay) at the end of the day i know not every footballer is in this sport simply for the sake of playing it, but from time to time thinking about him fills me with a lot of nostalgia and yes a tinge of disappointment because i can’t help but think of what could’ve been (i.e. what would’ve happened if he’d stayed at schalke? stayed there for good or stayed for a season or two more, developed even more hype, strengthened his abilities. had a successful transfer to a good, solid club and continued to hone his abilities, etc).

ok. now i’m done. i’m so sorry for putting u through all that and skimming this back i sound SO dramatic lmao but man i’ve been through like six-ish years of following his career so fuck it oh well

also if u wanna know how much i still care, know that after the “draxler to leeds united” rumors first dropped, i wrestled with my impulse control every single day for a week trying to stop myself from dming him on insta saying “i love you but get ur ass to leeds or i will kidnap u and get u there myself your football career is killing me but i love you and just want the best for u have a nice day xx”

#answered #thank u for this ask you're really sweet anon omg 😭#again i am surprised anybody cares about my opinions enough to ask me this... or to even talk about my liveblogging lmao...#even if it's just one anon i'm like !!!!!!!#anyway. i actually have more and more thoughts about julian but i literally wrote SEVERAL paragraphs and that man has disrespected me for t #so i'm not giving him any more of my time and energy tonight #although yes my brain is replaying his match against slovakia in the euros #and his goals against gent in the ucl back when he was with wolfsburg #and how he was the captain for the nt in the confederations cup which we won!!!#but ANYWAY #as for weigl and meyer... :(#haven't kept up much with weigl but sad about him too #as for max..... i was hopeful for him too #but i think he just got too big for his britches #which is again. another disappointing thing because look where he's at now #i just wish players understood the importance and the benefits of BEING PATIENT...#i think they just sort of give in to the hype about themselves #which is understandable but god i swear its a poison to careers #julian draxler #babe jules #anonymous #shit ava says

PSG’s Kylian Mbappe is clearly a huge talent. He’s a player who has the potential to be one of the best players in world football. Last night however, he was outshone by the brilliance of Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, who performed superbly in Parc des Princes and scored the winning penalty in added time to win the game for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. So how does United’s match winner compare with World Cup winner Mbappe? We’ve taken a look at both players on FIFA 19 to see how they match up. COMPARED: MARCUS RASHFORD VS KYLIAN MBAPPE Manchester United’s English forward Marcus Rashford (L) interacts with Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward Kylian Mbappe (R) (Image: GEOFFROY VAN DER HASSELT/AFP/Getty Images) According to FIFA 19, there is quite a difference in terms of current ability between Rashford and Mbappe. Rashford currently has an overall rating of 83 overall, whilst Mbappe is rated at 88 overall, making the Frenchman a much better current player in-game. READ MORE There is also a disparity in their potential, with the England striker possessing a rating of 90 on FIFA 19, and the Frenchman has a 95 rating. However, they will still become two of the best players in world football, according to FIFA 19. This is reflected in the attributes that both Rashford and Mbappe have in-game. Here is a summary of their attributes and how they compare, with Rashford’s on the left and Mbappe’s on the right. ATTACKING Crossing: 74/77 Finishing: 79/88 Heading Accuracy: 73/77 Short Passing: 76/82 Volleys: 72/78 Rashford 0-5 Mbappe Mbappe absolutely thrashes Rashford in attacking stats, with the Frenchman having a higher stat for every single attribute. READ MORE ESPORTS STORIES SKILL Dribbling: 84/90 Curve: 81/77 FK Accuracy: 80/63 Long Passing: 65/73 Ball Control: 84/91 Rashford 2-3 Mbappe It’s much closer in the skill stats however, with Rashford having better curve and FK accuracy, but Mbappe better at dribbling, ball control and long passing. MOVEMENT Acceleration: 90/96 Sprint Speed: 93/96 Agility: 88/92 Reactions: 82/87 Balance: 77/83 Rashford 0-5 Mbappe READ MORE It’s another walkover from Mbappe, this time with the movement stats. In short, the PSG star is quicker, has better balance, more agile and is better at reactions. Paris Saint-Germain’s French striker Kylian Mbappe (L) vie swith Manchester United’s English striker Marcus Rashford (C) (Image: FRANCK FIFE/AFP/Getty Images) POWER Shot Power: 87/79 Jumping: 68/75 Stamina: 86/83 Strength: 76/71 Long Shots: 79/78 Rashford 4-1 Mbappe It’s now Rashford’s turn to get one over on Mbappe, with the England striker given much better power attributes. The United man has better shot power, stamina, strength and long shots, whilst Mbappe has better jumping. MENTALITY Aggression: 73/62 Interceptions 42/38 Positioning: 84/88 Vision: 76/82 Penalties: 74/70 Composure: 76/86 Rashford 3-3 Mbappe It’s honours even with the mentality stats, and they’re very closely matched. Rashford has better aggression, interceptions and penalties, whilst Mbappe has better positioning, vision and composure. DEFENDING Marking: 37/34 Standing Tackle: 40/34 Sliding Tackle: 33/32 Rashford 3-0 Mbappe READ MORE Rashford earns another point, this time with the defending stats. Rashford has better marking, standing tackle and sliding tackle. Overall score: Marcus Rashford 2-3 Kylian Mbappe Although there is a huge difference in current ability on the game, the stats suggest that both players have very different qualities and are both world-class in their own right, with Rashford more than holding his own against France’s golden boy. Both are clearly outstanding prospects and time will tell just how good they become in the next couple of years. It’s undoubtedly exciting times at Old Trafford.

The FIFPro World XI shortlists have been released. The shortlists are divided into positional categories and feature some of the world’s best players, most of whom have had great seasons. The final World XI will be anyone’s guess, but here our writers have come up with their own individual teams based on the shortlist: Muhammad Butt, Chief WriterGK – Keylor Navas:The season’s standout goalkeeper (Jan Oblak) wasn’t even nominated and so Navas takes this award as he won his third-straight Champions League trophy. DEF – Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Diego Godín, Jordi Alba:Alba’s phenomenal season should be rewarded at left-back whilst Godín stands alone, leaving a toss-up between Umtiti and Varane (both equally worthy) for who joins him. FIFPro’s rules state the four most-voted defenders will get on here, so living legend Ramos can slip into his old role at right-back. Key stat: No La Liga player provided more assists when playing as full-back than Jordi Alba did last season (8). MID – Sergio Busquets, Luka Modric, Kevin De Bruyne:Busquets is still a peerless force of match control and Modric is a no-brainer given how spectacular he was in Real Madrid’s Champions League triumph as well as Croatia’s World Cup run. N’Golo Kanté and Eden Hazard (a midfielder?!) present good cases for the final spot, but it’s impossible to overlook De Bruyne who was the chief mastermind of a record-setting and history-making 100-point Premier League win for Manchester City. Key stat:Kevin De Bruyne provided more assists than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues last season (16). FWD – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann:Messi is the world’s best player so he obviously makes it in, and Ronaldo continues to set new records in goalscoring so he can’t be left out either. The final spot is another dead-heat between World Cup winners as Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé face-off; with the Atleti man just making the cut thanks to his Europa League heroics. James Richards, Staff WriterGK – Thibaut Courtois: The Belgian goalkeeper was superb at the World Cup and his performance really deserved better, however, his efforts didn’t go unnoticed as Real Madrid swoop for the player this summer. Key stat:Thibaut Courtois made more saves than any other goalkeeper at the World Cup (27). He saved 80.65% of shots he faced, the second highest among goalkeepers to have played more than once in the tournament. DEF – Kieran Trippier, Raphael Varane, Virgil van Dijk, Marcelo: Trippier had an outstanding World Cup and took his game up another level while at left-back Marcelo continues to show his class. Liverpool will be able to build a title challenge on the reliability of van Dijk and World Cup winner Varane is the best defender in the world right now. MID – N’golo Kante, Luka Modric, Kevin De Bruyne:Kante makes every team he plays in winners. From Leicester City, Chelsea and the French national team, all these sides have taken massive strides with the diminutive Frenchman in the side. Modric was a key man in the rise of Croatia at the World Cup and De Bruyne was the key creator for Manchester City’s 100-point title. Key stat:No player made more interceptions in the Premier League (85) or the World Cup (20) than N’Golo Kante. FWD – Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo:Mbappe, still only 19, is sheer class and World Cup Golden Boot winner Kane helped England to new heights not scaled in nearly 30 years. Ronaldo is still the best in the world even at 33! Lionel Messi just misses out for me after struggling to impose himself at the World Cup despite still being an amazing talent. Chris Smith, Staff WriterGK – David de Gea: Taking his slightly shaky World Cup aside, the fact de Gea almost single-handedly took Manchester United to a second-place finish in the Premier League, while a large part of their squad was sub-par, is astounding. DEF – Kieran Trippier, Sergio Ramos, Virgil Van Dijk, Marcelo:Trippier is a player I’ve rated very highly for a number of years and to finally see him getting the plaudits after a wonderful World Cup is great to see, while van Dijk was instrumental in Liverpool’s strong end to last season. Marcelo was as dynamic as ever at left-back for Real Madrid and, love him or hate him, Sergio Ramos has had another stellar season, playing a huge role in their Champions League win. Key stat: Since making his Premier League debut for Liverpool in January, Virgil van Dijk has been involved in more clean sheets (10) than any other player in the league. In the 17 league games he has played with Liverpool, they have conceded 10 goals. MID – N’Golo Kante, Luka Modric, Kevin De Bruyne:Modric is rightly taking a large number of plaudits at the moment after another fantastic season, while De Bruyne is probably the top creative midfielder in the Premier League right now. Kante was unbelievable in Russia this summer and continues to be a trophy magnet for every team he plays for, even if he is too humble to admit it. FWD – Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo: The fact that all three of these struggled to impose themselves on the World Cup is mind-blowing but shouldn’t tarnish what was an incredible campaign for all three. They scored a staggering 133 goals between them, with Ronaldo and Messi destroying La Liga once again, while Salah exploded onto the English scene with a Golden Boot. Key stat: Cristiano Ronaldo finished last season’s Champions League campaign as top-scorer for the sixth consecutive campaign after scoring 15 goals in the competition. Sam Long, AskFans EditorGK – Thibaut Courtois:Courtois was streets ahead of any of his rivals at the World Cup – with David de Gea’s top knot slip up costing him dearly. DEF – Kieran Trippier, Raphael Varane, Diego Godín, Marcelo: Marcelo sneaks in almost by default, courtesy of a distinct lack of options at left-back, while the Bury Beckham deserves a place for giving me the peak moment of my life. Varane has been sensational for both club and country and the old war horse Godin never fails to impress. Key stat: No player made more clearances (44) at the 2018 World cup than Raphael Varane. MID – N’Golo Kanté, Kevin De Bruyne, Luka Modric:De Bruyne may have slipped off the radar somewhat due to injury, but the chance to partner him with Modric cannot be missed. The humble Kante simply has to be involved too, even if only for his infectious smile. FWD – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé:Ronaldo and Messi may have endured early exits in Russia, but they are still operating on another planet when compared to the majority of their peers. Mbappe edges out Mohamed Salah up front due to the manner of his defining displays in Russia. The 19-year-old is one of only three teenagers to play in a World Cup final and is going to have one hell of a career. Key stat:Mbappe’s four goals at the World Cup were the most by a teenager since Pele scored six in 1958. Harry Edwards, Staff WriterGK – David de Gea: Even though the Spaniard has not had the best couple of months for club and country, there is still no better goalkeeper in the world right now than de Gea, who continuously finds ways to defy science with magnificent reflexes and near-impossible saves. DEF – Joshua Kimmich, Raphael Varane, Diego Godín, Marcelo: There were so many good defenders to choose from in the shortlist this year, but even then some stood out more than the others. Marcelo has been the best left-back in the world for quite some time, while Varane’s year has moved him closer to Godin as one of the best centre-backs. Right-back has not been the greatest position this year, but Joshua Kimmich’s presence there for Bayern Munich is vital. MID – N’Golo Kanté, Luka Modric, Paul Pogba: A midfield borne out of the World Cup final, Kante, Modric and Pogba have had amazing years. Chelsea midfielder Kante manages to get better with each passing year and was pivotal to France’s World Cup win alongside Pogba who was finally given some freedom to reign across the pitch, while Modric’s importance to both Real Madrid and Croatia cannot be understated. Key stat:Luka Modrić became the first player to win the World Cup Golden Ball and the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award in the same year since Ronaldo in 1998. FWD – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah: There is no more-terrifying attacking trio this year than one consisting of Messi, Ronaldo and Salah. Two of the three found their biggest successes in the Champions League last season, with Ronaldo and Salah both Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively to the final while, despite his The Best snub, Messi is still the greatest football player in the world. Key stat:No La Liga player scored more goals (34), created more chances (87) or completed more take-ons (185) than Lionel Messi last season.
