played Clichy and Sagna in midfield today and the English media lost thier minds, its like watching cavemen play with fire.
I really don't get what he's trying to prove with these "experiments". And the way he overdoes that it gets kinda annoying. I was already critical of his experiments in his last season at Barca. His switch to 3 man defence was unneccesary and took the team off balance. I am not against implanting new ideas, but there must be a solid reason behind them. Overdoing it doesn't mean 'creative' to me, it's playing with fire.
Maybe he's trying to make a legacy for himself in this regard, otherwise it doesn't really make sense to me why he keeps doing that wherever he's going.
Maybe you just dont understand the reason, ever considered that? Everything he does is logical and has a clear purpose, he does not "experiment" for the sake of it.
He used fullbacks like that for 2 years in Germany.
Its mainly to stop counter through the middle and dominate the center even more.
I take what ever he says with a pinch of salt.Why on earth do people think Balague is actually a reliable guy when it comes to Barca, Spain and the players in this area.
He's wrong pretty much every time when he comes up with something and when he's right, it's already been reported by others.
His face is so god damn irritating let alone that voice that's just haunting me right now because I read the fuckers name.
