This. Plus Del Bosque has always prioritized the defense(and especially in the last 2 years, since Xavi is not what he used to be). I still remember reading in 2010 and 2012 just how boring Spain in comparison with Germany and we all know who won in the end(and with that I'm not saying that...

And at the same time Bartomeu only said something about him because the same journalists who were saying that Messi won't sign a new contract if Kun isn't bought by Barca asked him.

I don't necesarilly disagree with this, but why is it that Xavi can recomend Villa, Dani Alves does the same with Neymar, Pique and Puyol can lobby for years for Cesc, coaches are named at La Masia or the first team only because they played for Barca and from today Puyol will be Zubi's number 2...

Rafinha was someone who even when he had Eusebio as his coach, he still looked like the best player on the team..Sergi never did that. At this point we don't need someone to rest our stars, we need someone to become a star and Sergi is never going to be that person.

I remember his name since this happend: I'm going to flip if we're going to pay more than 5M euros for him.

Yeah that's what I feel also..and the best possible outcome would be Bayern-Atletico and have a final where I can actually enjoy the football, regardless of the winner. Unfortunately though, seeing the bad form of Bayern since they won the league, I think that Real Madrid will beat them and...

So Xavi convinced Tata that instead of playing Messi on the RW and Cesc as false 9, it would be better to play Iniesta on the left, Neymar on the right and Messi in the middle? Or Tata after he saw that the formation worked vs City thought that it would also work vs Atletico and Real Madrid...

And against RM at home what formation did we start? Or against Atletico in the league? :coffee: This is a question at which only Tata knows the answer.

It just never stops, doesn't it? :( We're like last year's Real Madrid.

When Pep left Valdes was 30, Pique 25, Busquets 23, Iniesta 27 and Messi 24 years old. So maybe we were in decline but we weren't in a worse position than Bayern was that year. The difference was that Hoeness fired their director of football in the summer of 2012 and brought Sammer, who bought...

We had players like Cesc leaving even though they were highly regarded in La Masia..Messi could have done the same, especially knowing how the club was in 2003 and the money that clubs like Arsenal are constantly throwing at our canteranos, but he didn't. And if he would have played like a club...

Yeah, I know that. :lol: Really? Because I recently read Spain's callup for the 2012 EC and as far as I remember, Cesc was listed as a midfielder.

And this is for the Pep's(and Messi's) haters: "Messi thinks[..] I'm not playing for you or for the fans. I'm playing to better myself each day. [..]you just have to give me the ingredients, create me favourable situations. I will handle the rest. [..] He is a purely intuitive player and...

To be fair at the 2012 EC he was on the bench in 3 out of 6 games.

Just like we did when we sold Figo to Real Madrid.. Really? Can you tell me the last time he extended before 2013? I think that you will be surprised to find out that since 2009, he extended his contract as many times as Xavi.

Without Valdes we wouldn't have won even that Supercup.

Martino? Didn't you knew that Xavi is actually the one giving the orders? :VdB:

1. Is the team not playing for him anymore? 2. Is he protecting himself for the Worldd Cup? 3. Is he sad because they are not renewing his contract? 4. Is he not getting along with Neymar? Too bad that they are not making similar questions about our board, but I guess they can't bite the hand...

I don't know about this as I don't speak german, but a catalan journalist who lives in Germany said that Bild had a story about the team not liking Pep's trainings and Pep said: "We are good when every player says: I will run for you because in one minute you will run for me. This is what we...

1. How do you know that this meeting really happend? Do you only believe it only because Sport, a paper that invents something everyday told you so? 2. If this meeting was after the game against Rayo, how come it's only in January when the team started playing poorly(according to you)? You're...
