Football Thread |OT21| Robben learns to score in finals three years late

Mou definitely had a better case with Casillas, but it was still part of a power play against the club .

One could argue the same about Iker's behavior. He put himself above the coach and damaged the club. Unfortunately all of that happened internally and what leaks out are rumors. The team sheet on the other hand is a cold fact for which the coach is responsible and accountable for.

Yeah Mou is a headstrong son of bitch. And can be a real meany (never forget the Pedro Leon "Even if Real Madrid's plane crashes and you were the only one sitting at home you wouldn't play next game." quote).
But I really think it is also a matter of success. If Pep might have stayed another 2-4 years at Barca without titles, who knows what kind of shit would have happened.
With all the rumors of doping, Pep spying on his players, Pep not wanting his players to spend money on expensive cars, getting rid of "difficult" players, it sounds that like he might be just as problematic and short term as Mou.

It's a successdriven business and if you win titles all of this internal drama, gets washed away and forgotten. If not it's what made everything crumble and fail in the season.

Please, Dzagoev and Koko> anybody on your pitiful team. First they'll crush Portugal for the senior team, then join the u-21s to beat down your boys.

Still don't understand why players like Götze, Draxler, Gündogan or Schürrle weren't nominated for this. Winning a title they are still eligible for would mean so much experience-wise and for their future development, even if they are already further ahead in their development.

Maybe coaching style was the wrong word, but they are both headstrong managers who like to surpress their players. Sure it'll work for a time but I think a mutinity is almost unavoidable, just look at how much Bayern instantly improved when LVG was gone. Sure LVG is far worse than Mou, and a less competent manager. But overall I would say that they share the same view on what a football is / should be.

What the fuck?

LvG built the legacy which led to this awesome season that was 2012/2013!

It was him who taught the players about tactical discipline. Before him they played like jumpy chickens.

He seed a true ideology into the team with his idea of possession play, domination and attractive play.

He made Schweinsteiger to a leader and tactician on the field.

He made Müller to the player he is today.

He made a blood-young 17 year-old named David Alaba a left-back.

He set the ground, like he did already years ago at Barca.

Show some respect.

Mou never ever left behind an intact team after he jumped. He never ever had an ideology of football, just playing it save and profit-orientated.

That's what Iniesta meant when he criticised the bad influence of Mou for the Hispanic Football.
 
Dat so called Rotterdam DNA cost us a goal too. I'm not so relaxed with De Vrij and Martin Indi in the centre. Previous game they were shakey too.
Can't help it that there's a shortage of good Dutch defenders. They're still the best we've got. Getting all your CB's from Belgium is cheating.

Yeah, Alderweireld and Vertonghen should become Dutch :D

Can you imagine that, Blind - Vertonghen - Alderweireld - Van Rhijn #DuchBelgiumFuture #DBF

Well COD looks like shite.

Why don't they get 2 pro teams like Optic to play a best of 3 tournament or something? Instead of showing this scripted single player rubbish.

Thiago and De Gea having a word while lining up there. Probably talking about how they'll be doing it quite often next season at United.

Thiago to Spurs. Levy, pls.

You can't market a game that has same mechanics for years. Scripted single player walkthrough markets better.

I can't wait for E3. It's going to test the resolve of sooo many. It's going to be great!
