Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - It's Amad World
Barca also has a set philosophy these days. The blueprint was laid down by Guardiola's 2011 team and the spine of the team has remained stable, it's like those Chelsea teams after Mourinho left that they only started disbanding after 2012. Xavi is the only big issue new managers had to deal with. The question for them was really how to add directness to their game, Tata tried it and ran into resistance but Enrique managed to succeed adding the counter to their game. Real does not have some philosophy tying things together ,every new coach implements some changes based on players the team throws at him. Under Mourinho they counter attacked without really controlling the game against big teams and Carlo added some possession football without sacrificing the directness."thick of things" just wont cut it for real, they need trophies for the amount of cash they keep spending. They have a great team but they have bad luck for having barca as their rivals. Barca keeps winning with new managers. They didnt have a "big name" manager since van gaal. Carlo is a better manager than benitez, but who knows maybe rafa will do a better job. And lets face it, barca had great transfers in the last years..... real sold dimaria, ozil and alonso and bought kros, rodrigues. Sold morata and got chicharito

It's crazy how both Barca and Juventes can get achieve Treble
Both have already done the double with league and Cup
It's pretty tame with that said. A Clasico final would have been

Really hope Arsenal doesn't get cheap again and decides to get not only Jackson Martinez but as well as Arturo Vidal and maybe Petr Cech.
Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez on the same squad is lowkey fun to watch

We're not that far off, breh. Relax.
I'll continue to take this cup as long as we're competitive in the Champs and Premier. We'll break through eventually
