Well, Rijkaard embodies attacking/attractive football so your club will for sure benefit. He has an eye for real talent especially among youngsters. He was responsible for the promotion of Messi & Bojan among others from Barca reserves to the senior team. He gives young talent a chance to...

Rijkaard = 2 Liga + 1 CL in 5 yrs. with Barca Ancelotti = 1 Seria + 2 CL in 8 yrs. with Milan Rijkaard > Ancelotti ! Best of luck to your new team :)

"I have great faith in Ronaldinho, he has sacrificed like many other champions," he continued. "In the end he was demoralized, but when he was on the pitch he always gave to those that paid the ticket. He is young, in tact, next season we will focus on him." Berlusconi believes that Ronaldinho...

I do think that Spain is no longer under Franco regime so it's a free country. And people have every right to a Freedom of Assembly. And Madrid fans can also come celebrate at Canaletes, sure, why not?! However, there may not be enough Madrid fans in Barcelona so the question does not arise.

Yeah it was only recently that it has been confirmed.. Cambridge? How nice :) So you love history eh? What kind of history are you going to study? World? European perhaps?

Precisely! Credit goes to Pep as I said for straightening out this team.

Ronnie is indeed one of a kind special player. Just out of this world!!! He has a different effect and just oozing with charisma! Look at how Milan fans adore him :wave: I am so excited for him next season cuz it will be a rejuvenated Ronnie. He will not play in the Confederations Cup & WC...

I don't think so. It was Pep who straighten out the team, remember it's basically Rijkaard's team, I mean almost all players were chosen by him. Then Pep took over and he provided that right kind of balance in the team. Well, coaches have different styles and methods. Pep is the most...

I think the author compared Pep & Xavi as both Spain & Barcelona players and it so happened that Xavi won the Euro and Pep did not. So the comparison is in terms of achievements imo. And Euro being a major trophy in International football did it for Xavi, who became MVP of that tournament...

You just nailed it :wave: :xavi: is the Man !!!!! :2145960713mundoemot

so profound...

Madrid press and Italian media are in unison - Kaka is a Real Madrid player... It's a good career move for him imo... he needs to prove that he could also perform in other league. I just dunno though if he can gel with other madrid players.

Yup yup... it's Dieginho :) He plays for Internationale youth (rival of Gremio), former team of Pato back in Brazil.

Hi Beef! MBA at the Univ of Greenwich in London... how about you?

Apparently Leonardo, Milan's newly appointed coach will play the 4-3-1-2 system with a classic playmaker... looks like that would be Ronnie's role :) and modern attacking football philosophy with Brazil WC 1982 model. It looks very likely that Milan will cash in on Kaka sooner than later...

Look, it's Ronnie's abs !!!! Nice one Mina :)

You're welcome :) ... yeah it was an enjoyable read for me as well. Ronnie is a humble person and very unassuming that's what I like about him.

I found this Ronnie interview with Sports Illustrated way back in 2006... "SI.com: There's been a lot of talk about a Nike guerrilla-marketing spot in which you appear to bang a ball off the crossbar over and over again from outside the penalty box without the ball ever touching the ground...

You nailed it my friend !

This is how Goal.com's Carlo Garganese describes Xavi and I am 100% in agreement... "After a bright start from the English side, Xavi took charge of the centre of the pitch along with the equally brilliant Andres Iniesta, and dominated the play. Every single Barcelona move went through the...
