Yep. I totally see where anyone saying Barisic is coming from.
Bottom line nails what I was saying. I think mental strength accounts for 50% of the make up of a footballer just purely based on some of the interviews I’ve heard on the European football podcasts I listen to, and I’m still not there with a lot of the current squad.
As one of the biggest defenders of Barisic on here during his tough times though, I wouldn’t want anything above to suggest that I’m taking away from what a blisteringly good modern fullback he is - and his best achievement was getting it right up the brain dead fans who wanted him out.
Yeah fair dues mate, I cant argue with that, but I wouldnt discount Barisics mental strength either.
He was a target for the boo boys, then dealt with multiple injuries, then faced the end of his Rangers career. He then took it upon himself to apologise to Gerrard, do extra gym work to cope with the physicality and completely turned his Rangers career around against the odds to become one of our most valuable assets and one of our biggest players. Hes shown himself to have excellent mental strength to achieve that.
