Overturning this decisions will always be rare because at the end of the day they need to show support for the referees rather than publicly admitting the mistake. This is Spain, they will need to "stick together "

He said before he is interested in the job, but I am not sure about character issue and breaking his spirit thing, despite being a calm introvert Iniesta has been always the guy that raises up to the occasion when stakes and pressure is too high. He is the definition of ice in his veins tbh...

People need to stop believing those sport clickbait articles

He will be signed as the new DM mate

Our 2 DM missed both penalties. Seems like Darvish was good again. btw is Barca nation videos all deleted?

Maybe, but in his full statement during the interview he points that football is heading toward efficiency teaching rather than artistic ways, and that there are no variety in the game anymore. And he is right, poacher and efficient players were always present but it happened hand in hand with...

Hazard was talking about Haaland

Jordan just pulled another upset with a 2-0 win over S.Korea in Asian Cup semifinal. Tomorrow Qatar vs Iran. Essentially a middle Eastern finals for first time since 2007.

A thread for Asian football, Asian Cup and World Cup qualifications etc.

He is considered a tier 4 journalist by Barca reddit, which while isn't most accurate list it is good identifying frauds like Sanz who are trying to write clickbaits.

I hate such arguments tbh. What he looked like is irrelevant tbh, plenty of arrogants bastards can still keep their head up and not do such crime, some times it will be done by classy white collar person or by a nerd or whatever. Alves is a piece of shit for what he has done, can't compare that...

I was wholeheartedly against hiring Xavi mate, I got why Laporta had to do it at the end and overall it is better than the disaster I expected and rate him better than bums like Lampard and Pirlo but was never with hiring him. Marquez? As interim maybe but again I am not advocating for him. Like...

Agree to disagree on De Zerbi, I don't see him as a good choice. Don't think he is that available either as Brighton will make us pay money we don't have to break his contract. Imanol is more of EV type of hire, he isn't flavour of the day but is the good boring choice who will win the league...

Developing young players is nice and everything, but you are describing a scenario where if he shines it will be more like an Arteta situation where is given carte blanche to rebuild the team and make it his own, you bet even if we are doing rebuild a coach won't get this time and chance tbh...

Of course most coaches were there at some point, but clubs has to avoid some risks at certain points. As for my choice, I already said the club should try to do everything they can to try to convince Inzaghi (1 year left in contract) as he ticks most boxes out there. Not sure if he will accept...

BVB, Leverkusen aren't tier 1 clubs to give them as an examples mate. The pressure their isn't close to us and they weren't put in a position of live or die from the go to tbh. Again, there are levels to the game that you continue to ignore when you make those generalised comparisons. And...

Who are those serious clubs and how much success did they have exactly? The fail rate is much higher mate, De Zerbi is just flavour of the day the same way guys like Setien, Potter, Sampaoli among others were.

I didn't speak about managers from 2nd tier, I spoke about De Zerbi specifically. He has all the indicators of being a guy who isn't made for 1st tier but rather someone who is good at certain level. Stubborn coaches with clear holes in their tactics are disaster waiting to happen.

De Zerbi will be a disaster, the guy has the midtable coach syndrome. He doesn't know when to adjust when teams figure his tactics or the game doesn't go his way. Tactically too limited to make the necessary changes for that. Brighton super star is their SD not their coaches, people should...

Yes, because Mbappe has won so many CL with PSG :ROFLMAO: And seriously, Lille was able to win the league against a Mbappe lead team ffs, he is World class player and top 3 but he isn't going to win trophies on his own. Remember how costly he is and how it is going to affect squad building...
