The more and more I think about it, the more and more I value the miracle Mister has performed.
A Real Madrid fanatical La Liga president doing his best to weaken the squad.
No signings, apart from one that we probably didn't even need anyway.
A bunch of corrupt Madrid supporting referees giving our title rival at least 10 points and taking away from us at least 5 ( Clown shoes etc ).
Having to rely on a whole bunch of youngsters in the squad, some of which we know are probably going to be lower level La Liga fodder in the future.
Dealing with our best centre back under Xavi, being poor this year ( Araujo ) and instead making Eric Garcia play the best football of his career.
Dealing with our GK problem. From Ter to Inaki to Tek. And all of them are bang average, but it didn't stop Don Flick.
Sticking to his principles of the super high line, even when things weren't going well at the start of the season, reminded me of Pep sticking to his playing out with the Goalkeeper when he was here in his first season.
But perhaps his biggest miracle was winning those 2 cup finals. Those finals are Madrid cheating staple diet. They know a corrupt referee in a knockout game is unbeatable. Or should have been. The reality is is that Barca needed to be 4 or 5 goals better than Madrid just to beat them 3-2 in the Copa Final. And Handi made sure we were 4 or 5 goals better.
And he did all this whilst maintaining his dignity and not losing his cool, where all of us would have done so, facing the same circumstances of blind corruption.
It's truly a miracle what's happened.
Don Hansi is manager of the season in Europe by a country mile.
