OLEGUER Presas | 2004-2006

[BigStu]

Nickname: "The Tiger"

Club: FC Barcelona




EXPLANATIONS:

The fact that this guy got into Barcelona's first team could be attributed to coincidence or a strange conjunction of the spheres. How he managed to become a regular starter is beyond anyone's explanatory capacity. He achieved much more recognition and attention due to his political ideas (linked with catalan independentism) and verbal clashes with other players (like Salva Ballesta) rather than due to his football abilities. Olegario was always a pretty average defender, lacking both outstanding physical abilities, technique or tactical awareness. He also tended to commit very silly mistakes from time to time, which sometimes made him the perfect target for the media to laugh at. It should be considered a testament to Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco, Puyol, Xavi & company the fact that they managed to win a Champions League with this guy watching their backs.

After the disastrous 2007-08 season, Guardiola arrived at Barça's bench and one of his first decisions was to dispose of Oleguer. He was sold to Ajax for an approximated €5M fee, which is widely considered their best sell in history by many Barcelona fans. His new manager, Marco Van Basten, said that he was very happy of having signed Oleguer, since "his qualities fit exactly with what Ajax needs. We are all convinced of that. He has a good age, experience at a high level and is a real defender" (it's been suggested Van Basten was on drugs at the time). Ajax somehow endured him until the end of 2010-11 season, when Oleguer was released of his contract.


Yes, yes, but I featured in a UCL final, and you didn't!

I feel so so generous today, I'm gonna give this a revamp and get it into the database

[Xyder]

Yeah, but he doesn't deserve such ACC, I mean, he's like Piqué could be fast but his ACC sucks.
AGI in green is so generous, something around 70 would be enough, also MENT, which 78 could be enough (PES6).
His TECH could be 72 more or less, AGG doesn't need to be so high, 63 mark would be enough, SPA/LPA are high too, don't think he deserve any above whites there.

PD: Forgot to say his DS it's high too, whites are a must there.

[Korinov]

Yes, yes, I know. He was never this good with the ball either. Pretty much all stats don't need to be this high.

[BigStu]

christ this reminded me how much of an idiot noob I was/am

[Xyder]

Don't be so harsh Stu, all of us were wrong, but afortunately we evolved and now we rate better the players.
Don't complain, take this set as an example of your own evolution as statsmaker.

[milanillo]

OLEGUER Presas played as sp alot of years before his playing as cb so he should be SP

[Korinov]

Done. This part of Stu's shame has been washed away

[Xyder]

Don't think the drop on BAL was so necessary, he wasn't a good defender, but IMO it had a great body strengh. 84 would be the minimum for him.

[Korinov]

Dunno about body strenght but his body balance was quite average... Konami was always a bit generous with his values and never gave him more than 83 if I'm not mistaken.

[Xyder]

Taking a look at PES6, efectively he was at BAL 83.

[Korinov]

83 it is, then. Updated.
