After I've seen his constant performances on the wing at lyon, i'm convinced that he'd fit as a right winger at the current Real Madrid squad.

I feel like his profile is perfect, he could occupy the right wing space that has been vacant for months, and move inside to fill in as striker when mbappé drifts out of position.

I feel like this could bring some kind of balance in the attack.

What do you guys think?

I just saw a post in this subreddit talking about the diamond formation and how it got abandoned by the top sides and leagues in Europe. My take is that nobody uses it anymore because it's too predictable and central in positioning, it can be trapped and contained easily in possession and exploited out of possession.

I feel like the fix is it evolving into a dynamic formation, with the fullbacks pushing up in the field as the pivot steps back temporarily to form a 3 back, while diamond splits into a double pivot and a 10 up front, still connecting with the hybrid pivot for flexibility.

This gives the team more direct build-up and attacks while making every play extremely unpredictable, they can use the flanks or go centrally or even carry the ball into the box.

I know that it's modernized and unrecognizable in possession, but that's my take if I were to revive it again.
