Please watch the video posted above. He won three Champions Leagues with our team, while being amazing in all three of them and he is in my opinion in no decline. He will be a success in every club he goes and I am afraid that Barca fans like you will understand how amazing Valdes was, only when...
That was one of our best games last year and Thiago was playing on the left in Pep's crazy 3-4-3 lineup: Valdes, Puyol, Abidal, Alves, Pique, Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Thiago, Messi.
I always love a good tactical analysis or appreciate coaches with distinct football philosophies, but I don't think that Jupp Heynckes changed anything at all(tactically) since last year's failure. The main difference, as you said yourself,is that he had better and more motivated players at his...
Another meaningless tournament( like the club world cup) that is added to the already full schedule of footballers. It's a pity that it will be winter in Brazil, because the players won't be able to combine this tournament with some fine vacations.
Guess why!
I wonder what DonAndres had to say exactly a year ago, when Heynckes with almost the same players and exactly the same tactics lost all of his three titles, lost three times in three games against Dortmund, with the last one being a 5-2 defeat in the cup final.. But that is football...
Because we don't need an ex-madridista as a coach.
Suddenly people jump in the Heynckes bandwagon, while last year they were laughing at him,call him and his players losers.
Espanyol is now, together with Real Madrid, the team against which Pedro has scored most (5) of his 68 Barcelona goals.
The player of the derbies and important games :worthy:
Other than his footballing qualities, he also looks like an amazing leader on the pitch. He likes to speak to his teammates and he also tried to calm Wakaso, when he went out of his mind. If he stays, he will surely be one of our future captains some day.
He is finishing strong his season like last year, but it is not now that we need him to play good. Nonetheless, he and Alexis are trying to make up for their bad season.
I am not sure that my eyes work the same way your eyes work.
Seriously, what happened to this guy? He was class until Christmas and now he seems slow, as robotic as Song and more importantly without the imagination and flair that made him make those wonderful passes...
He scored a very nice goal, but then he started to play like his old self: diving, inability to control the ball, while one on one with the goalkeeper and superb tactical awareness.
