The thing with Maldini's kids is that they'll always be viewed as talents because of their father, not because of them. Same thing is happening with Zidane's son right now at Madrid (Enzo). He's a slightly above average player but gets hailed as one of the best talents in the academy because...

For the sweeper to work it can't just be him taking out every attack. Fulllbacks will have to mark the wingers, forward will be marked by the front CB, Busquets marks the #10, Thiago and Iniesta must put pressure on the other midfielders, and wingers will have to mark/press the opposition...

If the sweeper does his job correctly, then his presence should be imposing enough to discourage the opposition from even being able to play an option through the main defensive line. It's all about correct positioning to cut off options. Even if there is more space from only having 3 defenders...

I like the darker purpl-ish blue stripes over bright and flashy blue, it's more pleasing to the eye. Overall if that Qatar Airways logo wasn't smack dab right on there and extremely large/noticeable, it'd be a really classic kit (also depending on the season's progress)

I can understand why people would want the more quality defender right now but the way I see it, one guy isn't gonna change the entire outlook of the defense and cut out attacks produced by an entire team. That's why I focused more on fixing things on a tactical basis such as pressing to stop...

Hummels seems like a redundant transfer to me with Pique and Bartra there, plus he isn't good at defending counterattacks. Silva is obviously better than Inigo Martinez but his wage would be much higher and Martinez is a long term option

How so?

If De Scigleo is the next Maldini then how would you feel about him being tried out at CB? Also, as a Milan fan, what would you say is El Shaarawy's ceiling?

Montoya is strong on both flanks and can act as a starter/backup whenever necessary, Abidal can play backup , and since my system incorporates youth more I figured that the loss of Adriano could be made up by giving Grimaldo some chances here or there.

Judging from an unbiased point of view, who would you said is better: Alaba or De Scigleo?

:lol:

He did get injured and he was our best defender but that isn't saying much considering how unbelievably poor the defense was. I think I remember he was amazing linking up with Deulofeu in attack for the first 3 months but then they started putting Deulo on the right more often (although I might...

Note that this is in no way a prediction as some of the tactical changes will likely never happen in real life Players in: Reus (30m), ter Stegen (15m), I. Martinez (20m), Marquinhos (20m, loaned to Roma), Deulofeu (promoted), Rafinha (promoted) Total: 85m Players out: Valdes (12m), Villa...

Fair The league win was thanks to the momentum we had built up in the first half of the season and there were quite a few troubles in the 2nd half. We didn't perform too admirably against big teams aside from that one Milan game but this was partially due to the fact that Tito was ill and we...

Serie A overload :lol: Lot of these would be smart transfers and I'd be curious to see how lively Barca look in a 3-5-2

please lord let it be true.

I feel like Bayern could possibly make one hell of a classic and eternally quality kit with their colors if they did it right, but their kits are pretty average IMO. This season's were better than the new 13/14 ones

I'd back Sandro or Dongou to be Messi backups over Rafinha Also there's youngsters like Traore and Bagnack who are the same generation as Samper

Barça secure their 22nd league title, their fourth in five years The Blaugrana broke records on their way to the title, like setting the best ever start to a league campaign ‘Aquest any, també!’ (This year, too!). Barça are mathematically champions of La Liga. Madrid’s draw against Málaga...
