Why do you fear that? The last time he tried to man mark a player out of the game was in 2012, Kroos vs Pirlo :lol: You can be sure that if he tries that, he'll choose the least suitable player to do it.
They also write that there's no agreement between the two clubs yet. Let's hope Bayern milk as much as possible out of this. That said, I wouldn't have thought they'd sell him before the rumours heated up at all, so I'm still surprised.
Zubi also said that it was clear even when MAtS signed that they'd sign another keeper (and that MAtS knew it), so it seems neither Enrique nor Unzué pushed for it because they didnt trust MAtS or whatever. Unzué just picked Bravo out of the possible options.
He's a joke. Usually breaks old "news" and tweets about what Matthäus told him. The only story that came from himself was Draxler to Arsenal and we've seen how this panned out. I think it's mostly English people that take him seriously though, thinking he is genuinely well-connected.
Even when he was doing well, Özil was always looked at with scepticism by guys like Raimund Hinko. I think his sadfrog looks and attitude don't really sit well with the 1970s Leitwolf- and anthem-obsessed generation (i.e. Breitner etc). Add to that his slump in form and you have an easy...
Who cares? Carrying Costa Rica out of a group containing Italy, Urugay and England and forcing Holland with an on-form Robben into extra time and penalties is a great achievement as such and doesn't really need comparing. Nobody was downplaying Kahn anyway.
Consistently good: Navas, amazing finish to an overall great season.
Single performance: Between Ochoa and Neuer for me, I pick Neuer for the pintoesque entertainment factor.
Le Parisien?
Fuck Marquinhos. I'm still hopeful Zoobidoo is just using Wenger-"I've never heard of Cazorla"-tactics to keep our real targets a secret :zubi:
Afaik most of the people who criticised him did this based on how he played for Sociedad, not because they didn't know him. Seems less blind to me than those who hadn't watched him at all before he was linked with us and then praised him based on 3 WC games.
