basically Maradona is a crap coach.🙂
Watched 2 Cup finals today, Chelsea beating Portsmouth lot of woodwork being hit in this game, and I noticed Boateng tried to get Ballack injured for the World cup where they are going to play against each other Germany v Ghana, this was so blatantly obvious!!.
And Bayern absolutely demolish Werder Bremen 4:0
I can see them doing the same to Inter if they go at them with this pace and variety of shots, and Robben is awesome up there with Messi & Ronaldo imo.
Robben's main problem is his stamina, that's why he isn't up there with Ronaldo and Messi. Robben is like a ferrari with low gas, while he has it, it's very hard to stop him, but as soon as the time starts to weight on his legs he disapears.
Anyway, what a season to Inter! Mourinho showed why he's probably the greatest coach of our time, he gave a tactical lesson to both Guardiola and Van Gaal.
And what a player is Milito! If I was a Bayer supporter, when Milito scored the 2nd one I would have left the building... Only a fantastic player can score such a goal in a Champions League final. I sincerely hope Maradona doesn't forget him for the sake of football.
Milito:- 2 shot´s at goal, 2 goals and his finishing was so clinical, impressive.
But what impressed me is how they kept Bayern´s right wing out of the game, Robbben and Lahm just couldn´t get through.
And to win 2:0 in spite of only having 37 % of the the ball shows how effective they were, they did the same thing to Barcelona an Cheslea, Bayern new the way Inter was going to play but still couldn´t get through.
I wasn´t really sure who I wanted to win, Bayern because they play attractive offensive football and Inter because they play very effective and tactical.
I think the best team won, Bayern weren´t gonna score even if they played all night.
I wonder if Mourinho´s up coming Real Madrid move cause certain players to leave the PL. Torres, Lampard maybe even Rooney?
True but that is how Mourinho likes to play, following that style or something similar.
He doesn't like to play very high pressure/attacking style, he prefers his defensive and counter-attacking plays. But I don't think even Mourinho can do anything with Madrid, they're just a group of super stars who just have no chemistry with each other as we've seen time and again.
Originally posted by BicnarokI personally believe that Jose could get them winning everything and it still wouldn;t be good enough for Real. Mourinho's football is unatractive... it's defensive and often boring. Even if the trophies flood in (and if you look at Mourinho's recent history... they will) will it be good enough for the Real faithful where the way you win is as important as the win itself? I guess we'll have to find out. I certainly can't see Jose staying for any more than a couple of seasons.
What he is good at though is inspiring players and meshing them into a group, whether that's possible with that bunch of stars, who knows. If he does manage it though they will be hard to beat.
Boring? Defensive? It's obvious that you haven't been seeing his teams playing in the last 10 years. Just because he adapted Inter's strategy to his players or the opponent it doesn't mean he is a defensive coach... I mean, did Chelsea was a defensive team? Or Porto? I don't think think so. And Inter did beat Barça 3-1 in Giuseppe Meazza as far as I remember.

In the long term it could be for the better, a fresh start. New Manager new players the chance to start a legacy.
And that's what I try to tell myself. But, I don't know, Gerrard claims he is staying but he doesn't really seem all that happy. I kind of figured Torres wouldn't stay forever, he's the most wanted player in Europe right now and with Liverpool, well to be fair, spiriling downwards (we're in a massive amount of debt and those yank owners are selling the club), I don't really think he sees any potential for himself.
But maybe, I mean, if rumours prove to be true next season is going to be very rough on us but I think in the long run it might be beneificial.
Should be exciting and I really can't wait to see who they replace as the new manager! I'll some of the songs though, the Torres song and who could forget,
RA-RA-RA-RAFA BEEENITEEEZ haha.
