After watching highlights, it is worth to mention that we tried many long shots. I was missing this lately…
Totally agree with you.
Messi can't play without Xavi and Iniesta? He just scored two hat-tricks without them!
Pep is putting them wrong that Messi can play without anybody,even if Pep use another player again, Messi will proof himself, he is best of all time. I just keep loving the Boy . Great Leo
I hope more cules might have noticed that we were more fast in our attacks, in the absence of Xavi. I say this with all my respect and admiration to the worlds best central midfielder.
Ur rite bro… Xavi slows de game dwn a lil…
true… but this cant happen every week against the best teams who can punish us more when we lose the ball. hence why xavi is so important and the attack may 'slow' a little… xavi allows our players to take up better positions by holding the ball for an extra second or two, and it makes a big difference when our players may be getting tired
dont u know nothing about football? the only reason why we seemed to attack faster was because pilzen let us. their defense was sitting veeeeeeeery deep after their player got red carded. they had no midfield at all
gotta say i am proud of the "substitutes" so to say. guys like adriano, thiago, cuenca have showed fantastic class, and when they are playing that well, you find yourself not missing even the best midfielders in the world. messi of course is beyond competition
Don't you guys love how we played a 4-4-2 today? It's just so great to have a coach like Pep that tries to find the best formation with the players avalaible. And a lot of players like Adriano and Alves who adapt to any formation… These "varieties" are the reason why Barca are still at the top for 4 years now!!!
interesting. what makes you think it was a 4-4-2? just out of curiosity..
4-4-2? looked like a classic "pep 4-3-3" with messi as false 9 to me.
Congrats to VV!
O/T: I'm so glad Chelsea only managed a tie and Valencia beat Leverkusen. They've still got a chance to go forward to the Round of 16, and I'd love to see a Spanish team other than Barca and Madrid make it through. (Barring that, hopefully Valencia go down to Europa and win it.)
Omg, Pep's smile at the end of the interview.. my heat just melted..! <3
Messi is the very tip-top best; only enemies of progress doubt this repeatedly proven fact! I predict the sacking of Mourinho at end of this season because Madrid won't win la liga or even Champions League.In 11 meetings, Messi has scored 14 past Casillas. December 11 will not be different.
I'm sorry to say but that translator I'm sorry to say but that translator in peps vid is deplorable!
I cant understand wth he's saying it's frustrating!!!
second one spoke very clearly though.
some time back FCB used to have a not too bad translator. If anyone needs him, we are ready to provide references. Please let us know
