5 - Carles Puyol

[Catalonian Devil]

Puyol: "Barça wil go to the San Siro with lots of enthusiasm, looking to play our football, and trying to get a good result"

"Milan have lots of players who can make a difference so, we will have to work really hard to try and win".

"The operation is already forgotten. It has taken some time and it's been tough. When I play games now I don't notice any discomfort."

"Due the injury I lost all the strength in my leg, and it was impossible to play on."

"The knee injury has not come back at all, but afterwards I suffered other minor problems, because after eight months out I was not match fit, and at my age ..."

"we're always affected when we come back from these long trips with the International Team"

"We spend lots of days away, the trips are long, we come back a bit tired, for lots of days you're not with your club teammates, and then you only have one or two days to prepare for the games ... but at the same time we know that we can't afford to drop any points"

Wasn't he offside when the ball was delivered? Still, firm and relentless as always.

No. He was in offside position when the ball was crossed.

He was in an offside position when Fabregas played the ball but the pass went to Keita not to him, and he was onside when Keita headed the ball across.

Legit.

 

[zanela]

Yes. But by being offside on the first delivery he had already gained a step advantage over the opposition defense, which helped him connect to the subsequent cross totally unchallenged. I've seen such goals disallowed.

Really?

Do you have any examples I've never heard of any such thing before tbh...

 

[ZeeMessi]

I was of the thought that you're only offside relative to the last ball that was played, in this case being Keita

 

[zanela]

I can't recall one at the moment. But, even the english commentator on my channel said the same. :s

Your english commentator was drunk! Only the last ball counts for the offside rule.

What I know, puyol was only offside when fabregas made the pass/cross but when keita headed it to puyol a whole new play started so it doesn't count.

But the again im no ref, so I could be wrong.

Last season CR scored one that was 30 meters offside by that definition

 

[Pedram123]

Yes, it is true, in this case it is not offside.

 

[zanela]

Ok thanks for clearing it up, guys.

 

[Galning]

Puyol decides when someone is offside.

yep. he was having one of his tantrums sitting on his ass, madrid played on and passed to the winger i believe whilst CR was way way offside then he got the pass (after winger advanced and pulled the ball back) and tapped it in
