It's a shame he wouldnt be liked in Spain (probably not for him) because he would be a pretty good option post-Mourinho.
Why do you say that? When I've seen BVB play, they've played a very intelligent, aesthetically pleasing brand of football.
I mean for his personality. They wouldn't like him in general. His team does play fantastic football, you're right.
Correct. This is safe to say. Everything about him is the exact opposite of what people want from a Real Madrid coach. He's loud, obnoxious, he has no respect for his opponent, for the referee, or anybody. He's obsessed with winning. He's Mourinho V2.
To be fair, Pellegrini was pretty much the opposite of all of those things, and the press didn't like him very much either. (But I get what y'all are trying to say)
The key thing is regardless the press will end up not liking the guy and regardless those who love to complain about Madrid will do just that. Klopp wouldn't last a year. People who are bitching about Mourinho would go into overdrive then meltdown halfway through the season.
Obviously the best choice. It will keep the locker room from turning against the manager and it will keep the press happy. Both which are the most important things evidently.
Good stuff about Altidore. Guy's move and performances at AZ, along with his increased maturity are very nice to see. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/blog/_/name/soccerusa/id/1169?cc=5901
Best decision he could have made considering his still young age. AZ's coach isn't well known outside Holland, but he makes teams and players play much better. Especially the young players can improve a lot under him.
I thought they would spiral downhill as they always seems to lose their best players to other Dutch teams. But there they are, always battling for the European spots. Gotta like that. I used to follow them more when they had El Hamdaoui and Schaars and such...Gotta start watching again.
Reading 2-2 Chelsea. Outplayed for 87 minutes but who cares when you have Le Fondre on the bench. 10 goals in his last 13 games and he has only played the last 20 minutes in most of those. Top English scorer in the PL. out the relegation zone Chelsea fans were streaming out after our first. First 'Rafa out' banner appeared on 95 minutes. Lol
Damn, Sara even makes it onto this thread! Good shit. My most sincere apologies to that Italian journalist (tony something)... thought you'd get more love considering your source Tony, but I was wrong. Those are the breaks kid!!
happy for balo. got out of city to further his career. he's going to be big in milan. with al shawarma its going to be cray cray
