It is. And the discussions and arguments over it is whats exciting at this time isn’t it? Almost everyone is looking forward to this new look Madrid team. Exciting times ahead.
You can't even follow your own conversations. I was talking to J-Mezzy and you commented on what I said in which I have responded you. Again, you don't have the capacity to actually admit you were wrong so I expect you to deflect here as well.
Nice avoidance. You're just as bad at discussion as those you condemn. I know I know you will deny and deflect... then ironically complain when someone else does what you do.
I said you quoted my response to 4x4s instead of my reply to you. Do you want me to post the screenshot here?
Of course you’ll try and “anticipate” reactions. Thats how you cope. I directly answered your question on what team was with KCM. Dunno how much more direct one can be.
Is it not about the same discussion? As I said you would deflect because you don't have the capacity to just say "I was wrong". Easily prove me right
What do I need to cope? We're discussing a sport and the future of a club not anything that actually impacts our life and its successes. As stated you need these deflections to avoid looking in the mirror. The context of my post was specifically about the passing stats you used to define Xabi as differing from Carlo. My point was to show when Carlo had KCM the way he played then differed from how we play now.. no differently than Xabi would. That point is to show personnel matters. You can't just do Plan A (Pep) no matter what if you don't have the players to be successful at it. You have to adjust to what can work and what can bring results. You can't actually answer that because you know it would paint your point as wrong so you avoid it using a strawman to change the context of the conversation. Lol this is pointless. Anyways enjoy your day.
Not exactly. It was just pretty convenient for you to butt in all guns blazing at that moment tho . You mean I was wrong when you interpreted “closer to Pep tactically” as the same as “identical to Pep”?
There is no absolute way that either you or i would be able to prove or disprove this because he is not coaching KCM. This would only work in your view bec. you would already have to assume both managers would play the midfield the exact same way.

Is that surgery even required/suggested and what is it for? I don't have any clue what they are supposed to perform surgery on. Jude had adopted several weird pseudoscience things (ripped socks for example) which often leads me to believe that athletes kind of feel hard to be trusted with when it comes to that stuff.

Yeah, I'm not sure if that outcome is what Xabi would prefer. IF Pintus is the right man and aligned to Xabi's coaching methods, then fine, but pre-selecting our main fitness coach based on legacy is almost nepotistic and like a "big boys club".
Weren't there complaints about Pintus, his "methods" and player fitness/injuries? Would be funny if the club had been planning to keep Carlo all along but he already has a pre contract with Brazil for the WC, so they pivoted from blaming Pintus to blaming Carlo and now to cement their position and maintain the perception of their infallibility we now see social media reports praising Pintus as the right man to lead the team to it's next title.
Is it too early to start a cwc threqd? I was curious what happens after the season iis over. Do they stsrt trainjng a couple weeks before the CWC in Madrid, or does pre cwc training begin in the US?
