Ernesto Valverde

And then we wonder why in every single CL game the opponent put in more effort and ran more than us.

Well, Spalletti(another overrated manager) did say that he was shocked at how poor Barca's warm-up was before the game against Inter.

You've got to wonder what they even do on the training ground.

"No one really understands physical preparation, it is about getting ready but there are set backs, it is what it is"

And yes that's actually s real quote from Valverde's press conference.

"It is what it is" one of Ernies classic hits

Wasn't that more about players only arriving an hour before the game, not going on hotel with the team the day/night before etc to prepare the game etc

I have a dream....

Both actually it seems.

However, what is most striking to Spalletti is Barça's pre-match routine. "At the Camp Nou [ahead of the sides' first Group B meeting last month], I saw them come out to warm up ten minutes before the game [...]" he said. "We had even asked if they had a gym inside [the stadium] that we could start warming up in, but no.

"Not only that, but my players have told me that, on the afternoon of the game, the Barça guys had gone to pick up their kids from school and had then got in their cars to go to the stadium. If we prepared for games like that, we'd lose 18-0."

I mean when Liverpool ***** us by outrunning our grandmas with triple the intensity, they had a intense match against Southampton where they won a winner in 94th min 3 days ago, while our too good to puit in a shift squad was resting.

Dude is a Madrid spy. Please execute THE TERRORIST.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Insane comments from Valfraud. That's one of the reason why we suck. No preparation.

 

[Messigician]

And after these comments Fati gets Injured... imagine my shock. Almost like our physical preparation is dreadful

Hahahaha Only in Camp Nou!

I knew it was bad but this shit's UNREAL!!!

Talented cats as they may be, you can't throw them unprepared in a pit like Anfield and expected them to RoaAArRRR. Might as well send them to the slaughterhouse.

 

[Sorin]

At this point it's a surprise that the whole squad isn't injured.

Incompetent club from top to bottom.

 

[Gaudi]

So, players do get worse with age...but in couple of month we are now on Getafe, Osasuna etc level or there is something wrong with our master tactician? De Jong already looks bad, without ideas, without space, without good moves, maybe he also got bad, he is 22 already...we need Young, hungry players, age 8-12 is the best!

Have you noticed one repeating thing: ALL teams now high press us! Noone dared to do that before, now all are doing it. But, even currently we manage to bypass that pressing and then we stop the play . This is like we are retarded. Every normal coach would then instruct players to go directly to goal, 5 oppposition players are left behind, but no, we stop the play. There is ZERO risk in pressing us, if you get the ball you can score if not, no problem, Barca will wait for our team to come back

 

[Raketa10]

We won today so this idiot can keep trolling us for another week at least. I can't even be happy when we win, because that means he will be here for the next game.

 

[Total-Football]

A team without a soul
