totalBarca : Pep Guardiola: "Feel it"

Thu, 1 Sep 2011 01:26:39 +0000

As much as I don't like you, I agreed 100%. 3-4-3 is not something new to FC Barcelona. Our teams play 3-4-3 days in and days out. Dani Alves keeps busting forward that left Abidal, Puyol, Pique. That stretches the midfield to 4. Dani Alves isn't so good at defending, I can list many errors I've seen him made including penalties.

He took the net to the locker room and shown it to every Manchester United players except for Wayne Rooney, telling them what they should have aimed for. Manchester United only have one shot on target.

Sergio Batista said he does not need Tevez, Messi is his center forward.

It's an easy group. I'm just hoping that Sergio Batista knows what's doing. Truth is, he been excellent with Argentina way better than Maradona. He's trying to make Argentina revolve around Messi which is great.. Maradona did the same thing but the problem was, he dropped Messi into midfield duty which was terrible. Maradona did not realized that Messi is more dangerous in front of goal.. Messi doesn't have to play in midfield to control the game.. Sergio Batista not only revolves Argentina around Messi but he's using the Barca's system.. He's using a 4-3-3 and plays Messi as a withdrawn center forward just like FC Barcelona.. That allows Messi to drop deeps in midfield and provide and score goals. Sergio Batista using Barca's system: Messi scored 3 goals and assisted Di Maria against Portugal. They gave Spain B hell of a game and dominated USA.. Sergio Batista goes deep into Argentina's youth system and he plays almost a different squad in every game... If he keeps on doing so, Argentina could have a stronger team by the 2014 World Cup. The team is doing much better comparing to Maradona's era.. I'm just hoping he plays Mascherano in center back and Cambiasso, Banega and Pastore in midfield.. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB2gPweJ6RI ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-WzcZPnCfg&fe...

Father Messi won't be back until after the Copa America. I really hope Messi can win the Copa America for Argentina. He really deserves to win a trophy with Argentina. The fact that the Copa America will be playing in Argentina should give Messi and Argentina a good advantage. As for Sergio Batista, I think he's a doing a great job with the National team. His biggest mistake could be the fact that Tevez might not play in the Copa America and Aguero is not a starter.. He's using a 4-3-3 which is great. However, I would rather have Aguero and Tevez as wingers instead of Lavezzi and Di Maria. In midfield, he should have: Pastore - Cambiasso - Banega. He should also learn from Pep Guardiola by dropping Mascherano in defense since Argentina seems to be weak in defense. I know what I just said is off-tropic but I just want to see Messi succeed with Argentina so maybe the media can stop bashing on him concerning his performance for Argentina..

Carles Puyol had no reasons to be unhappy.. I think it was his idea to let Abidal play.. It's obvious that Pep Guardiola would not start with Abidal, who is not 100 percent fit. Carles Puyol was more healthy than Abidal.. " Mas Que Un Club " Abidal just gone from surgery and I think Puyol and Xavi letting him lift the trophy is the best welcome the club could gave him..

Pep Guardiola: Can you imagine Pep Guardiola being FC Barcelona's Alex Ferguson, coaching FC Barcelona for over 20 years..? I know it will be scary without a shadow of doubt. Pep Guardiola went from FC Barcelona B to FC Barcelona and won 6 SIX trophies in his first season.. Made it to the Champions League semi-final 3 THREE times out of 3 and won it 2 out of 3.. Jose Mourinho: Would Jose Mourinho even be famous if it wasn't for that disallowed goals against Manchester United..? Parking the bus and play dirty football.. Pep Guardiola simply make football enjoyable.. He gave the fans more when they expected less. FC Barcelona: Best team in the world.. Look at the players movement in today's game.. Look at Xavi and Iniesta, the way they controlled the midfield. Xavi's assist was just brilliant.. Messi is just too much, THE LITTLE FELLA is conquering football.. I hope the criticizing about David Villa is finally over. David Villa completed his career by winning La Liga and the Champions League.. I hope he can win the Club World Cup with FC Barcelona.. Eric Abidal gone from surgery to lifting a Champions League trophy is something out of this world.. I congratulated Carles Puyol and Xavi for this action..

Who ever thinks Bojan and Afellay aren't up to FC Barcelona's level doesn't know anything about the game... Last season, Ibrahimovic was being bench for Bojan and Thierry Henry was being bench for Pedro.. I don't like Jeffren though because he's more focus on dribbling than passing the ball when playing.. If Afellay had grew up playing for FC Barcelona, he will be without a shadow of doubt better than both Pedro and Bojan...

I don't think Pique, Puyol, Alves and Abidal and FC Barcelona's pressing game will ever be in a position in which they let 4 goals in..

FC Barcelona should just outmarked Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez will be shutting down. I would rather play Pique and Puyol as center backs. I would play Abidal as left back eventhough he's not in shape, but he's height will be crucial as Manchester United and Javier Hernandez are good in the air. I don't have any problems with Mascherano but FC Barcelona must have tall guys when Manchester United have corner kicks or crosses.. Three tall guys: Pique, Abidal and Busquets... If FC Barcelona are leading then Pep Guardiola should bring in Mascherano as DM to secure the midfield and completely and I mean COMPLETELY cut off Wayne Rooney's remaining oxygen..

FC Barcelona are just not matured enough when it comes to buying players.. Their biggest mistake is the fact that they gave Internazional Samuel Eto'o plus 50 million euros if I'm not mistaken for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. FC Barcelona need a right back more than a left back.. I just don't get the point of them buying another left back when they have Adriano and Abidal plus Puyol who can operates as left back.. The only reason why they might need a left because could be because of forward play like Dani Alves as right back. Adriano used to play on the wing sometimes in Sevilla.. I still believe that he has the ability to be a Dani Alves on the left. Abidal has had a few good assists but most of the times he rather stay back to defend. They should be more focus on getting a right back just in case Alves is out injured or need a break.. If they do want to get Jose Angel then either him or Adriano must have some right back skills.. Right now, FC Barcelona have way too many left backs. In the other hand, getting Jose Angel could be a could idea as options for left back because Abidal can play center back with ease. Just in case Puyol, Pique and Alves need a break, FC Barcelona can go.. Angel - Mascherano - Abidal - Adriano

If FC Barcelona get Sergio Aguero then either Villa or Pedro would have to be bench.. Sergio Aguero is not a benchwarmer.. I don't think Pep Guardiola will just go ahead and bench either Villa or Pedro.. Don't forget that FC Barcelona have Afellay who needs more play time so he can improve.. I just can't see Aguero going to Real Madrid as they are not only city rivals and he won't guaranteed a spot in their starting line up.. Unless Real Madrid will use Cristiano Ronaldo as center forward and Di Maria and Aguero as wingers.. I know Sergio Aguero might want to play along side Lionel Messi in FC Barcelona.. And Messi is the only player who can drag in to FC Barcelona.. Honestly, I can see Aguero playing in Manchester City or Chelsea.. Aguero in Manchester City will sure make Manchester City stronger with Tevez ( if not leave ) Silva and Toure. I really want Aguero to come to FC Barcelona but I just cannot see it happening unless he's inspired my Messi just like Mascherano and guaranteed a in the starting line.. Him and Messi up front will score ton of goals and assists others.. Just to him on one of the wings and Barca's forward will be any team's defense worst nightmare.. I know I can get thumbs down but what I just wrote make a lot of sense..

totalBarca : Sylvinho speaks

Mon, 23 May 2011 20:02:31 +0000

Honestly, it's 50/50.. - Rome 2009...The FC Barcelona team that played in Rome was not a 100 percent FC Barcelona.. I mean they did not have Dani Alves and Eric Abidal.. Carles Puyol was not playing in his regular position, he was playing as left back. They had lost strength both at right back and left back.. I'm not trying to say Puyol did not do a good job, but Dani Alves would have give FC Barcelona more attacking power in forward play that Carles Puyol.. Yaya Toure was dropped from from defensive midfield duty into center back.. Sylvinio was not even a starter in FC Barcelona back then.. Our defense was far shaky in Rome 2009.. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney still could not take advantage of our defense... They cannot get any overrated and FLOP. I don't have to mention that Busquets and Pique were less mature in 2009 than they are now.. - Wembley 2011... The only thing that FC Barcelona are lacking from this current team is the fact that David Villa and Pedro are facing a goals drought.. Messi as center forward is far way stronger than Messi on the wing.. Messi as center forward can provide assists and score goals.. This Messi is without a shadow of doubt stronger than the one in 2009.. This FC Barcelona have a much better defense and Victor Valdes is in FULL shape.. If Pedro and Villa were in formed than 2011's Barca would be stronger.. Xavi and Iniesta are lacking in assists.. I remember Xavi had over 27 assists in La Liga only in 2009.. I will never forgot his 4 assists in the 6-2 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu..

Iniesta's assist to Xavi in the 5-0 destruction against Real Madrid should have been in the video.. You could find more than 20 assists though.. In term of beauty.. Messi vs Real Madrid, Iniesta vs Shakthar, Fontas vs Almeria, Xavi vs Sevilla, Messi vs Almeria, Busquets vs Mallorca, Xavi vs Panati... From the distance they hit the ball from is just unbelievable.. I've not seen many of them this season..

FC Barcelona just have to shut down Wayne Rooney.. Javier Hernandez will be no match for for Pique, Puyol, Abidal and Alves.. A good FC Barcelona should beat Manchester United 3-1 or 3-nothing.. I mean FC Barcelona playing like they did in the 5-0 or Arsenal's 3-1.. Nani won't probably start since all he does are unsuccessful dribble.. My only concerned is between Mascherano, Busquets, Puyol and Abidal.. I'm not sure if Abidal will be fully fit for the final.. I was hopping for Mascherano to play as defensive midfield so he can pick up Wayne Rooney when he drops deep in midfield, since he can read the game better than Busquets.. Abidal in defense would be the best option because of his height.. Hernandez seems to be good in the air.. Pique and Abidal's height will be crucial.. Manchester United has only been good at the Old Traford this season.. Even Liverpool had beat them 3-1 and they BARELY beat Marseille.. FC Barcelona just have to play at the best and the Champions League should be Barca's..
