    Pep Guardiola

    It's interesting how all of a sudden things turn the other way around. I think Pep wasn't too wrong on this game, the score might be misleading. The first half, Bayern didn't know what to do, frightened, we should have closed the game in the first half. Our new direct passing (look at Raki and...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Bayern seems to be frightened as fuck in the first 20 min, we shouldn't let them gain confidence!

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Back then I once stated that under Tito we never looked tactically superior. Rather it was the individual effort and quality of our players that made the difference for almost every game. In fact, the clasicos in Tito's era showed that very clearly, Real Madrid knew how to stop us (after years...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Pep probably has seen our weaknesses. In normal circumstances, I think the first 10-20min shock pressing tactics of A. Madrid (last year's quarter final) would weaken us. Hope that does not happen! The interesting thing: two teams that like to control the ball play against each other :D curious...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Alonso never gets carded in the first 80mins for his shitty fouls, at least in the Madrid days, the bastard got always through!

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    I liked Juve's game yesterday. One has to admit they were lucky with that James' header. Shit that they conceded one! I think Madrid has the power to turn this thing at the Bernabeu. Funny though, when Carvajal should have seen a card for the penalty, every other player got one but him!

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    The fuss about his goals is incredible. People tend to forget as well. When Barca used to secure the title under Guardiola, Messi was rested for example, in that time, Madrileños made sure that Ronaldo gets every ball to score, so that he can ramp up his statistics. In hindsight, nobody seems to...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Am I the only one that thinks Juve can get through if they are tactically disciplined?

    Pep Guardiola

    The ones who have read Pep Confidential probably will agree that the atmosphere at Bayern might have changed a lot. They praised Pep as the new football philosopher (which I think he deserves very much) when he arrived, yet the voices against him are louder at the moment. The pressure at Barca...

    Lliga: Cordoba - Barca 0-8

    Call me old fashioned but this reminds me of Unreal Tournament 99 game where the speaker used to announce your killing series. It used to go like this: Killing spree, Rampage, Dominating, Unstoppable, Godlike! Kinda can't decide which mode this team is right now!

    Penal Madrid

    Hmm FIFA is rarely interested in European Club Football I guess. They're all about international competitons or the silly club world cup. The EPL as such is part of the UEFA, so I don't think that would be the reason.

    Lliga: Barca - Getafe 6-0

    I think the Camp Nou draws even more attention than the Sagrada Familia, the museum is incredibly well visited and I have seen a lot of tourists as well when I visited the stadium. I don't think it is just this time of the year, it appears to be all the time like this ;) The last couple of years...

    One goal more beautiful than the other, wow!

    Thiago Translantara

    It was actually him who wanted to stay and the "great" Barca board that wanted him out!

    Luis Enrique

    The problem is, we have almost no chance to find out (some researchers in the field try out new methodologies), yet there is no team that plays "without" a manager. Stefan Szymanski has a nice blogpost here about the influence of managers and how to measure it...

    Luis Enrique

    This "ceterus paribus", all other things the same approach is what I am not agreeing with. Yes I have seen Messi playing than, still he was not as good as he is now, he was also better in the upcoming years. I know Iniesta's godlike performances, because I was part of those guys who believed...

    Luis Enrique

    This is quite interesting because people love to rely on numbers these days to support their arguments (the Big Data hype is crazy, here's a nice blog post on that: http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/view-from-nowhere/). I love numbers too, I love data, arguments based on facts etc. Yet, a lot of...
