American Soccer Stories

And who has ever suggested that on here?

 

Here's Chelsea's most recent lineup:

Cech
Ivanovic - Cahill - David Luiz - Azpilicueta
Ramires - Matic
Willian - Oscar - Hazard
Eto'o
​

What I want to know is: since when was Eden Hazard a defender? Oscar, who was the main playmaker on Brazil's 2012 Olympic team? Ramires, who has also been used as an attack-minded winger before?

 

I am taking it you were too young to watch 1994 and read the reports coming from Brazil. Go watch Brazil in 1994, go watch the ugly final vs Italy. Go watch the Brazil vs US game from 1994.

 

You've got 5 attacking players there. Willian is a winger, an attacking player. How have you never heard of him? Did you ever watch the Champions League?

Brazil in the 1994 World Cup essentially used the same tactics that Bob Bradley did. They sat 2 deep, defensive midfielders in front of the defenders.

In 2002, they played a 3-5-2, using Cafu and Roberto Carlos as wing backs. They would press up in the attack, but they were definitely defenders.

 

But is it 10 defenders? Because that's the most recent lineup Mourinho put on the field. I don't see 10 defenders there.

 

Go watch the 94 final and tell me who the defensive team was.

Brazil should have beat that US team by 3 or 4 goals even down a man.

 

The last time Chelsea played a "big club" was a week earlier vs. Manchester City. The only difference in the lineup was John Terry playing at center back in David Luiz's place. Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Hazard, and Eto'o all started.

 

Not an excuse. I've just offered proof that Mourinho doesn't run out 10 defenders when he's playing against a big club.

 

Mourinho got you the closest to that in the last decade. And he won 20% more games than they guy that last did it.

What makes you think you know more than anyone you're talking to here ?

Prove any of what you just stated.

I guess a whole hell of a lot of Madrid's history doesn't mean shit then ...

No, that wasn't the question ....

ANSWER THE F UCKING QUESTION

He didn't fail at any club with a big budget. He overachieved at clubs with smaller budgets.

Neither thing is choking.

You're pretty stupid.

What about at Porto ?

None of that was on the list ....

Who exactly do you manage right now ?

So does Mourinho ... and he wins.





Holy ******** even I can't smack this much stupid around at once.

 

So then how do you know how Mourinho coaches at Chelsea?

 

Like you proven those who said you couldn't be a player or coach wrong?

 

If you neef a message board post to make you work harder you will never make it.

 

skill,determination and a tiny bit of luck.

Good luck gettia a job anywhere in the World without a coaching license.

 

I have played ice hockey since I was 5. 36 now. I thought I knew the rule book, techniques to a max. I started 2 years ago to get my USA Hockey Coaching Hockey License. On Level 2 of 4 now. I have learned things in the rule book I never knew exsisted. I have learned new playing techniques. I have learned how to motivate players better. I have learned how to spot injuries, cpr, how to medically care for a injured player till help arrives. Learned proper workout skills, warm up skills, strecthing skills. Equipment skills to fix on fly. When to push players, when to ease up.

These are why these courses and licenses are required. Because in reality you know jack shit.

If you into them cocky and witj know it all attitude you will fail and instructors will tear you a new one.
