    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi coached them for 2 years (current season is 3rd) , lost 1st one and won it 2nd time. They were actually league champions in his last year as a player, coached by Jesualdo Ferreira who is one of the best coaches in the middle east. Results in Asian cup is actually worse after he became a...

    Xavi Hernández

    Yesterday I was talking to a friend who lives in Qatar and works in their preparation for 2022 WC hosting. He said he actually attended all Al-Sadd home games in Asian cup as he was one of the organizers of such games. He also watches some if Qatari league matches but not regularly He said...

    Nico Gonzalez

    Nah, he is clearly a CM. But it is one killer trait for midfielder to just wait for the ball near the penalty area. Happened few times from him today and I hope it won't be a habit.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Good GK usually steps up in such situation rather than being equally as bad as their defense. We have conceded from 1st shot on target in 5 of last 6 or 7 games. Some of those 1st shots came in 2nd half or after 30 minutes mark. You can't put the blame in defense when attack barely shoot on...

    Sergi Barjuan

    tbh it was a good coached game bar subbing Coutinho in, although I feel bad for him since he was the only veteran option right there

    Joan Laporta

    He waited for Koeman, and then went after the likes of Flick and Nagelsman. Sure he gave Pep a call, but he himself knew it is a courtesy call. He himself admitted being fan of a certain German coach.

    Joan Laporta

    I fully disagree, he benefited tremendously from having Puyol beside him, even his teammates didn't vote for him as team captain till he was 28 and R9 who was younger and had 1 year in the team was voted against him in 2004. And him telling his coach "that isn't how we do things here" in front...

    Nico Gonzalez

    Good game and bad he got injured, but he need to play a little deeper when we have the ball. Sometimes he plays like he is a 10

    His best game with 1st team so far, keep it up young man

    La Liga | Round 11: FC Barcelona - Alaves 1-1

    That will be something, considering he made his way to Barca B starting line up only in his last game :lol:

    Xavi Hernández

    There is actually rumours from Arab media that AlSadd wants Laporta himself to come to Doha to negotiate with them for Xavi. A bit of ego/pride thing.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Did they? They have went after CR7 2 weeks after Messi joined PSG. Seems like a PR move from Pep when they already knew Messi choice

    Xavi Hernández

    Ok, let's say that is correct, how it does answer my question? Fluid football are present since Rinus Michels at least. Do we credit all systems and coaching style that has certain fluidity to him? Or whoever started it before him? So basically, Crujif, Ten Haag, Pep, Klopp, Naggelsman...

    Aurelien Tchouameni

    Same, both him and Camavinga are more of b2b type, I don't think they will be fit with each other

    Xavi Hernández

    I have a question that seems a bit off topic, but what does qualify as a principle? what does qualify as roots of certain way or ideology/DNA in football? Those terms are used in very flexible ways during argument. Is Pep way and Crujif way the same principles? Is Lucho a Barca DNA...

    Houssem Aouar

    I see him as more of a midtable teams rather than one for the big clubs, although him and Paqueta are indeed entertaining players. Could be someone who will take sometime to be big team player, or maybe I am just wrong. The one that is really disappointing is Cherki, feels like a French Demir

    Maxence Caqueret

    He is currently my top candidate for Busquets replacement. I watched Lyon games against PSG, Nice & Monaco, was mainly interested in watching Bruno Guimaraes, but this guy caught my eye; and highlights ,stats and articles support my eye test. He is one of those aggressive small DM, like the...
