American Soccer Stories

Well this answers one question at least.

"Who are you to tell me about coaching ?"

Well in my case .... I'm someone that actually has a license (or two) in the art of coaching the sport .... that's who.

 

Why does this thread exist?

 

Carlos was a beast on Free kicks over 22 yards out. It was not just the velocity that he struck the ball with it was the spin on the ball he put on those free kicks.

The guy that used to take those long distance free kicks before Carlos for Brazil was a another beast Branco. Really liked Branco he spent some time with my beloved Metrostars as well.

 

How many did he actually score though?

 

That doesn't make him a striker. That makes him a fullback who took free kicks.

 

That's right if he had the tools to be a striker he would have been a striker. But he did give his team more attacking options.

 

If you don't watch the EPL then how come you seem to think you're such an expert on it?

 

Mourinho doesn't often 'blame the ref',......... because he rarely loses.

 

So, winning La Liga, the Copa Del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup counts as a failure?

God, if he's a failure, what does that make you?

 

No he didn't. He went to Madrid because he got paid a lot of money. Nothing else

 

And who are you coaching ? What have you coached ?

Stating something flat out wrong and idiotic over and over doesn't make you right.

He won 4 more games while managing 7 less matches at Real, won 4.5% more games at Real, had nearly a 100 goal better differential at Real, and won every trophy at Real that he did at Chelsea (minus the League Cup because La Liga doesn't have an equivalent competition).

YOU'RE WRONG GENIUS

You're going to need to show your work on this.

 

If Mourinho is a failure, what are you?

He at least has 2 Champions League titles. How many do you have?

 

Who said he wasn't hired to win CL? I said HE went because he was paid more money.

 

He failed to win the CL, but succeeded to make Real Madrid one of the most successful clubs in Europe again (3x consecutive CL semi-finals). Plus, he ended Guardiola's era by winning the title in 2012.

But go ahead, you're the expert here.

 

And he was already an assistant manager at two of the biggest clubs in Portugal by the time he was 30.

I'm assuming you're around that age, maybe a bit younger. Better get working pretty quickly.

 

Bullshit. Show me any game he coached with 10 defenders. Because you can't
