Confidence is huge in most aspects of life but especially sports. I didn't see much of Nuri before last year (barely last year as well) but I'm sure this factored into his decline. That being said, he has his career ahead of him so he could eventually turn things around, I just doubt it will happen with us.
Imagine that, being happy if we signed quality players while at the same time weakening one of our rivals. Oh the humanity!
British press all reporting that Fellaini has a £22M buyout clause in his contract. Everton say they won't comment but the buyout fee is higher than the one quoted. Whoever ends up getting him will have themselves a beast of a player
Totally awesome move that. Pepe is the kind of player that would be a global hero in the late 80s and early 90s.
I think nationality is irrelevant in this case. Many legendary defenders were pretty much hacks in former decades, which Pepe definitely isn't.
For this club, I would say it was of great importance in those years and the bond/tie with the fans would be why the songs would be of legend.
Guardiola acts like an old lady there. What a tit. No wonder their players turn out like Busquets. Guradiola probably got an MRI right after the event just to be sure Ronaldo didn't break his neck after touching him.
The comments are quite funny, when the goalkeeper has the ball, somebody said "don't prance around with the ball back there kick it out", taking it forward behind the halfwide line there are multiple "get him! get him!", which later turn into "just the ball, just the ball!" when they get up close to the goal. The funniest thing was the guy trying to simulate a referee whistle.
If that was Ronaldo refusing to shake Pep's hand, the world would be in meltdown and only prove the theory as to why Ronaldo would never win another Ballon D'or with that attitude.
Look at the shit this dude has had to take. Worst part is he takes it regardless where he is, even in his own house.
Anyone here about the irregularities about the votes yesterday? Apparently several players are coming out saying the votes fifa have listed are not what they sent in.
