    Luis Enrique

    They only show the warmups in these videos :p I can't pretend to know the ins and outs of a preseason training session at Barca but from the information available, it seems clear that they start with basic jogging and physical warmup then do rondos for basic ball work to start out the session...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    He's going to be giving a press conference tomorrow. Let's see what he says regarding Lucho and his fight for a spot in the team.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Everyone gets a role. Nerman tumbles to earn them, Messi takes left footed, Suarez takes right footed, Rakitic gets corners/indirect, and Iniesta stands like a Don within the vicinity of the set piece.

    Mario Gotze

    Basically Messi except better and with more goals in World Cup finals

    Juan Iturbe

    Di Marzio reported that he had all but signed for Juve not too long ago :lol:

    :lol:! I was just waiting for this to happen

    Thiago Translantara

    :lol: Don't think there's a mention on Bild and this makes no sense right now. Kroos is leaving so he has less competition, Lewa is coming in which helps his game, he seems pretty settled, and he's generally popular among the entire Bayern team (and plus he now has another Spanish buddy in...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I see Rakitic playing the mother of all support roles in midfield. It'll be strange not having a player as dominant as Xavi anymore, but if our other midfielders recover their best and most consistent form I'm sure things will go very smoothly. For one, Busquets needs to return to the...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Indi isn't that good, just a fouling machine and physical brute. De Vrij is much better and would be worth considering for a 2nd CB signing (other options being someone like Musacchio for instance)

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Zubi, Bartomeu, and co. have gone down the right path so far in terms of dealing with transfers well and making tough but necessary decisions. They've supported the players and Lucho too. Kudos to them for their recent work (minus that Beko shit). Good to know that they could at least step up...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Because he wanted to renew...?

    Luis Enrique

    He got it built already?! :lol: Lucho is one hard worker. Prepared the training sessions hours beforehand, been working at the sports center daily after appointment, and now the scaffolding. That is, if that's a real pic from today (can't find it anywhere else).

    Mats Hummels

    Messi was outsprinting Hummels early in the 1st half :lol: 'Conserving energy' had pretty much nothing to do with it because the instances happened when everyone had a good amount of stamina in them. I could believe the injury would've slowed him down a bit though.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Pele's record is vastly inflated and I'd say football of his time was too much in its infancy to take seriously. Half of his 1280 goal tally was accumulated in friendlies less competitive than highschool football games, and a vast majority of his 'official' goals (roughly 585/643) were in local...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He should continue his development on that beard. If there is one thing our team lacks right now it's an acceptable amount of quality beards. Montoya, Alba, and Pique are making an active effort. Busi can rock the goatee when he wants to. Guys like Bravo and Masch are built to sustain beards so...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I don't think any of you should downplay Maradona's World Cup as it was the greatest individual performance at the tournament in history, but the myth comes from the idea that it was only him who performed while everyone else was shit.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    People can have their reasons for thinking Maradona is better but to say the difference is because of the World Cup is an opinion born of propoganda if I've ever seen one. Pele and Zidane on the other hand I find overrated. R9 deserves a spot in the top 3 or 5 soooo much more than those two.

    Argentina

    Who's rumored to be taking over now that Sabella is presumably leaving? He did well in his time with the NT but I think a fresh coach with new ideas for the next generation will be important. Guys like Musacchio, Otamendi, Correa, Iturbe, etc. may have a big role to play in the coming years so...
