These injuries are getting out of control. I played football my whole life as a kid, and 4 years of high school with no injuries. No fancy diet. Just stretching and jogging before training and games. I even played in an indoor soccer league in my early 20s and I was out drinking the night before games, my whole team was. How are so many professionals, especially at Barca, all made of fucking glass. With all that money you'd think they could train, eat, stretch and rest properly.

I too am an ELITE level football player.

My goal scoring abilities are just next level, most of the players who play against me describe me as UN-DEFENDABLE. My speed, acceleration, technique, skill, power and lethal finishing is at a level that is very rarely seen among footballers. Simply Incredible.

I've suffered virtually no injuries through my entire career. No doubt it's because I've engineered such a formidable level training regimen that involves weight lifting and intense cardiovascular fitness that puts Valverde (THE TERRORIST) to shame.

I'm simply levels above what most people can ever dream of reaching.

Hilarious to see people still blaming it all on the players, saying how injury prone they are (or in this case suddenly became) since they never were before in their previous clubs, meanwhile our manager openly came out and said he doesn't give a shit about physical preparation.

Junior Firpo 2018/19 season:
Muscle Injury Feb 15, 2019 Apr 6, 2019 50 days
Hamstring Injury Dec 17, 2018 Feb 2, 2019 47 days

Last season, from December 17th to April 6th, he was fit for the whole 12 days.
Agent Valverde probably worked with him in disguise even then :sherlock:

Agent Valverde was definitely not in disguise while sanctioning signing an injury prone player though - probably coz it helps his cause of not bothering about fitness regime in the training

So...
Apart from being guilty for tactical reasons, physical preparation, motivation of mentally drained players, man management, he is now guilty for all injuries and for signing injury prone players.
Basically, he is running the whole club.

Hear this, it is raining heavily in my city tonight.
Should I even bother to ask who's fault it is?

I mean, we all know the answer...

Anti-valverde cult again on display. Imaigne if they put half the energy into their real lives, maybe they wouldnt be so simple minded and aggressive. Compared to other clubs we dont even have that many injuries.

Im not fascinated by him, and I don't consider him to be a top tier coach, but he isnt a bad coach either.

He is mediocre at best though. Too many in game mistakes and too many stubborn player selections. And those are just the obvious faults. Then you have tactics, physical and mental preparation.

And on top of that all, the CL disasters that have left scars in the team. That is the most important issue and the main reason he should have been replaced.

Is he the worst coach on the planet? No.
Is he to blame for various injuries? No.
Is he responsible for bad weather? No.

I get that some blame him for more than they should but We've been through all that already.

Often people say that we are too good to have a coach like Valverde. But if you compared it to the other tradionaæ top-tiers, united: moyes, van gaal, mourinho, OGS. Liverpool: Rodgers, King Kenny, Roy hodgson. Chelsea: sarri, hiddink, villa-Boas, Roberto de mateo. Our even us self: Tito, tata, lucho. Then, he is a pretty decent coach.

We can't even begin to compare him to peps and klopps situation, who have 100% freedom in the market, and general set-up. They got the time to develop something big, (klopp just won his first major trophy after 4 season) while Valverde from the very start needed to get results because we like Bayern and real need to go for treble every year. Not even to add media, pre-season preps, and all the other dynamics a coach of barcas magnitude and standing needs to take into consideration.

The lack of a strong system is people major complain about him, and for that there is a good reason. In first season he did have a defined system with his 4-4-2, which needed to be changed after Dembele + cou7 arrival in midseason. Since then we had a lot of good expensive players who needs to play, but dont fit esch other that well. The guy wanted a winger and he got a non-running Om.

Pschysical preperation? Is this based on sarris comment? Do we have more injuries then before? Didnt we have the oldest starting 11 in champions leauge last year?

Is he the best coach on the planet? No.
Are there a handful of coaches who could have done better? Probably not that many.
Does that mean he is retard? No.

I get people are still high on Pep and to some extend the knock off versions from tata Tito, and loved Luchos treble season. But in 14/15 lucho wasnt far away from getting fired after anoeta 2-0 and was close to losing the dressing room. And Valverde does deserve critism for alot, while he also deserves praise for a lot? Dont see that much around. He has become the scapegoat, even to an extend calling him a retard. Its really silly

Havesaks talks some real good excuses.

Why do people that defend valverde always compare him to the lowest common denominator to make him look good
