Not sure how you define "average". People who regularly watch him should know that he's been in a much worse setup than other big teams. He is basically doing everything at Atletico. Other than play making, he also shares heavy loads of defensive work under Simeone's regime, yet still scores...

I could see him winning the Ballon d'Or in the future. Finishing, passing, first touch, layoff, work rate, discipline, able to play all positions up front, a full package as good as any attackers you could get. A player is absolutely worth being built around and born to play for us. Pray that...

Found this. Finally the centralized model is taking effect. Wonder how much each team will earn in the next few seasons. Any projection or conjecture? Is it enough to fend off a talent exodus to the Premier League?

Thanks man. Your Gifs are of the highest quality here. Keep it up.

So you are a Chinese citizen or a foreigner living there? As far as I know, many Chinese fans do see Evergrande as their national icons. Even the richest man there, the owner of Alibaba, is a shareholder of the club. Is it true?

A great goal again. Could someone post a GIF? Easily my favorite player apart from our team. Hopefully Atletico can keep him for 1 or 2 more seasons and then we get him. Otherwise I fear that he will go to an English club then jump to RM one day.

Why?

Absolutely better than Zidane. He's just unfortunate in the same era of Messi so received much less limelight than Zidane had. My only dream is when comes the day Andres retires, in a farewell party in Camp Nou while he's just finished his farewell speech, Messi walks to him with a 2010 Ballon...

Under Ancelotti, when they played 4231, Isco played AM. When they played 433, Isco played LM. He even played false 9 in some matches. Unfortunately, none of them shined particularly. In the second half of last season when Modric injured, the midfield was completely stagnant. Isco was played in...

Guys, I think all of you somehow adores Isco for his skills on the ball just like me before. But explanations for his average performance such as he is trapped in a mind battle, pressure from competing against his teammates, etc, sound like making excuses for him. My point is clear. From his...

Freedom! Free from Madrid's suppression, unfair policies. Control their own fate including army, finances, education, etc. And mind you, Messi won't be persecuted again and again for his tax issue. Same as Neymar's transfer issue as well. Absolutely nothing.

I have to clarify while I criticize Isco's passing skills average, my benchmark is the like of Iniesta, Silva or Ozil. If you insist he does possess the passing skills as good as them, I am afraid his performance in the past two seasons cannot justify your claim. And then you said he usually...

My thoughts exactly as with Laporta. I am also thinking a European Super League though very improbable. But I am not sure if the French football circle will ready to embrace us if we were really kicked out from La Liga. While our joining them surely brings a huge benefits, there are inevitably...

As the Catalonian independence has never been more imminent, as usual, one of Madrid government's threatening words is that Barca could be kicked out from La Liga. As a result, someone suggested that we could play in Ligue 1. What do you say?

The match against Sevilla again clearly showed that James is head and shoulders above Isco. 30 minutes of a barely fit James created much more than an hour of Isco. Got to say he will probably never reach the height of Iniesta or similar level that some people craved him to do. I was among...

Just found this article and confirmed what you said. But it also claimed that: After five outstanding seasons with La Real, Griezmann joined Atletico Madrid in July 2014 for a reported fee of 24 million. Once again, the France international was approached by a host of European suitors –...

A last minute goal to save Simeone. I wonder why people here talks so less about him. If it's not for our front three, I'll definitely want him to play for us. Not only his finishing, his layoff and one touch passing are among the best I've seen. Very diligent and unselfish as well. Almost a...

Since his dad claimed he wants to play for us, I've been watching him quite closely. Easily the man of the match against Real and played excellent against Man City away few weeks ago. Too soon to tell he will be fit for us. But anyhow his game is entertaining to watch.

Waiting for the job of Man Utd is more likely. In my opinion Pep must realize that he himself is a top brand in football. Very few clubs in terms of size and history match his calibre. Right now there are only Barca, Real, Bayern and Man Utd. Moving to any club other than these 4 is a step down...

I don't know if it's ever been brought up here before. Having watched Messi for years, I noticed that Messi is able to hit the ball at perfect precision and to generate enormous power from it when the ball is moving. His first touch, passing and shooting all are perfectly executed which requires...
