#

Difficult to compare in a vacuum but I would think Mourinho's Madrid was slightly better because their league record was incredible and they lacked that little luck to win the Champions League

#

Besides Mourinho's Madrid was the backbone on which Ancelotti's and Zidane's Madrid was built.

Oblak has had an unusually poor start to his season

Probably why Atletico aren't playing very well

#

not for us

#

Earlier it was messed up

#

Dembele used to spend all the night playing on his playstation and ended up missing training

#

what is even 'dangerous activities'

most clubs would have you placing cones for a month

very odd

#

even in sunday league we don't tolerate lateness

grave glen
#

I guess these are the little details that we dont know

#

there are fines I believe even before for being late

slate kayak
#

probably not enforced?

grave glen
#

the time for arrival is changed

slate kayak
#

cos i remember there being an article about how the teams behaved pre game in lisbon

#

barca dudes just casually knocked the ball around 30 mins before

ripe plover

#

chillin

#

Agüero also said something like barca players are kinda slacky

grave glen
#

On Ibai's twitch I think

slate kayak
#

""Just one example: We had been warming up for ten minutes when Barcelona walked out onto the field to warm up."

#

yeah multiple people have commented on the same

#

aguero got to the stadium and the lights were still off

grave glen
#

the attitude is the problem I guess

ripe plover
#

Mañana mañana lol

#

that's not a good look for an elite club

grave glen
#

elite

fading ember
slate kayak
#

in stature yes, barca is still elite

#

it will take some doing to ruin that

#

altho they seem to be trying their best

#

i think valverde was still good

#

the collapse started with setien imo

grave glen
#

valverde is chill

#

too chill

#

thats when club de amigo become stronger

slate kayak
#

isn't valverde the last barca coach to win a clasico

fading ember
#

Dembele oversleeping after playing on PS and not coming to training happened under valverde I think

fading ember
#

Koeman and setien didn’t win

slate kayak
#

he's brought new guys in

#

doubt they can do worse

grave glen
#

that is a bit hard to predict

#

just hope we improve the gameplay

#

not just posession that leads to nothingness

#

but I heard his qatar team let a lot of goals in too

fading ember
#

Sure they do

But just like nagelsmann says
Coaching is 30% tactics & 70% social competence

#

Xavi is probably more social and less cocky then Koeman but let’s see

#

Yeah those things are pretty much needed

#

Alongside a centre back

#

do you guys think xavi will save barcalona?? i think he will

What were they thinking lol
How are they “ridiculous”
Rules like these are imposed at every top club lol
And should have been in place at Barcelona even earlier than now

#

Arriving early is ridiculous?

#

He's like 40 years old iirc

#

Would assume he's there just to help the young players but

#

He could have just came as a coach

#

Instead

#

Not coach

#

But like what jack wilshere is doing

plain elbow
#

He probably wants to retire “in style,” unlike the way he bowed out at São Paulo.

#

Dani Alves is finished though tbh, and he was quite awful at São Paulo as well.

#

But, if he’s coming to serve as a mentor and on a reduced role of playing time, then I’ll come to terms with it eventually.

Yes

I see 8 people too

#

I think Real Madrid has the best chances in winning the league this year

#

Atletico is not as good as last year

#

Real sociedad is good but I don't think they will be as good for the rest of the year

#

it's a good bet on rma but it can go to anyone so far

#

yup thats true

Real sociedad, Seville, Villarreal they all start good and they're competitive for the title in the beginning but fall off the next months

he's coming for free

to help out the youngsters

#

i honestly don't want him to come at all

#

he won't help imo

grave glen
#

Dani Alves is a great idea as an addition to the squad

#

He will give these young players inspiration and leadership

#

Zlatan coming to Milan did them wonders

#

Alves could have the same effect

jovial plover
#

who knows maybe under xavi he'll help

Chances exist that it can take Zlatan like effect

but that depends on the attitude of Alves himself

People have been criticizing Xavi for absolutely nothing

Like I've seen people criticise him for the rules he imposed

#

Like what??? These rules should be applied at many professional clubs

Ngl those rules are good

Makes the players discipline better

Barca might turn into the old barca

I just want defenders

jovial plover

Where

#

Barca?

inner gorge
#

Pls simeone bring ur old tactics back

jovial plover
#

Oh

#

Nah his old tactics are annoying and too defensive

inner gorge
#

Even tho the new tactics worked well and won 2nd laliga

Good move

#

He's pretty good

inner gorge
#

Yea I'm happy we getting players from under dogs teams

knotty yacht
#

I know nothing about him tbh never watched him play

inner gorge
#

He plays for lille

knotty yacht
#

Yeah I don’t watch Lille that much

inner gorge
#

Saw couple of videos tbh his defending is good and counter attacking wise his insane

jovial plover
#

And were close to win it the season before with osimhen

jovial plover
#

Although this season LOSC has been hit or miss

knotty yacht
#

Good move then I know Lille’s defensive stats last season were good

jovial plover
#

Yup

#

I always thought he'd go to Serie A or Bundesliga

#

Bayern or Dortmund

inner gorge
#

Never saw szalai play but him being tall asf made me calm

jovial plover
#

But nah Atletico is way better

jovial plover

PSG are far off this season... ik they should be performing 10 times better... but still enuf to win it clear

He went to training

Last time i checked

#

You can google

Cause that man will literally command the team

knotty yacht

He’s recovering for a while now idk what is it with him

jovial plover
#

I hate Ramos he's such a dick tho

inner gorge
#

Psg need someone like thiago silva who screams and gives orders

#

No one is there to give orders

jovial plover
#

True

knotty yacht
#

Marquinhos is quite good

#

Ramos fits the captain wise

knotty yacht
jovial plover

#

Pochetino is quiet though

jovial plover
#

Yeah he's not the manager for this kind of job

#

He's more of a mid table to top flight kind of manager

inner gorge
#

Yea

jovial plover
#

Not for the best in the world

knotty yacht
#

Get zidane

jovial plover

They should have honestly

Basically u have two options

knotty yacht

#

inner gorge
#

jovial plover
#

Nah

knotty yacht
jovial plover
#

I mean maybe

#

But Liverpool is better option for him

inner gorge
jovial plover
#

City are chokers

inner gorge
#

He fits city

knotty yacht
#

Haaland to city is ideal

inner gorge
#

Since he needs someone to give him balls

jovial plover
#

True he'd fit at city

inner gorge
#

Kdb and mahrez and silva will feed him

jovial plover
#

I hope he doesn't go there though

inner gorge
#

But grealish ruined it I guess

jovial plover
#

I really wonder where he'll end up

inner gorge
#

Like 100m pounds sheeesh

jovial plover
#

Ruined the transfer

knotty yacht
jovial plover
#

They have infinite money

inner gorge
#

City won't go for it

jovial plover
#

Lol

inner gorge
#

Can't blame them

#

It's business

knotty yacht
#

Doesn’t he have like a buy clause

inner gorge
#

For how much

#

Can't believe ansu fati is 1B

knotty yacht
#

Like 80 mill idk if it’s true but that’s what I heard that by next season he’s 80 mill

inner gorge
#

Bruuuuuuh

knotty yacht
inner gorge
#

If that's it then 100% city might go for it

#

No wonder atleti wanted him too

#

Heard they met haalands agent last week

#

But i don't want haaland

knotty yacht
#

Everyone is going to jump on him now😂

inner gorge
#

I want grizi to shine again

#

Hopefully we get him and he plays 50% more

elfin dawn
#

Is it just me but I have the feeling that this year Atlético de Madrid is improved a lot in what he was lacking the past seasons but is lacking in what used to be good and specialist which was the defense

inner gorge
#

Attacking wise we good

knotty yacht
#

Kind of like us tbh

inner gorge
#

We scored 6 goals last 2 games

#

Defence wise

#

Shit

#

We need CB depth

#

We keep using the same CBs

#

For UCL and laliga

elfin dawn
#

But I mean Atleti under Simeone always conceded barely no goals in seasons where Barcelona and Madrid had Messi, now they are getting a goal per match

inner gorge
#

Yea that's what gave us the laliga

#

Last season

elfin dawn
#

Savic and Gimenez are good CB but Gimenez has problems with injuries

inner gorge
#

Simeone changed his tactics

#

We attack more now

#

Tbh I understand why

#

Let's say 80% of laliga teams

#

Park the bus

elfin dawn
#

Yeah I understand that

#

La Liga matches are so boring to watch

inner gorge
#

So attacking is the only option to break them

#

So that's why he switched it

knotty yacht
inner gorge
#

Idk how villareal Is awful in laliga and doing bits in European competitions

elfin dawn
#

They want to play to be perfectionist and always too much back passes and defensive possession of the ball

inner gorge
#

Simeone back then don't care about possession just Ws

#

Now he cares about possesions

elfin dawn
#

Yeah because Suarez need the team to be dominant in that way so he can shine at his best but without that he doesn’t realizes what is going on in the match

inner gorge
#

Trueeee

#

RDP

#

Is hella of a signing

#

He keeps the mid field in shape

#

The reason valencia scored two goals was the mid field mistake since he was subbed off

#

Heard he got a knock on the knee or somewhere on his legs

elfin dawn
#

Yes but the wide defenders are kinda bad defensively Trippier and Carrasco lack a lot when defending

#

Maybe they can balance that playing Koke and De Paul together

#

In my opinion Atleti has the best squad in La Liga not just a good starting team but good subs too

jovial plover
#

Hopefully he doesn't go to ATM or Real

#

It'd be a shame

elfin dawn
#

I think the main candidates that will go for Haaland will be Man City, Man U, Liverpool and Real Madrid

jovial plover
#

Yeah and maybe Chelsea

#

Arsenal are not out of the question but doubt he'd join

elfin dawn
#

Chelsea just signed Lukaku I think they won’t go for him

jovial plover
#

Disappointing for them

#

Atletico might sign him too

#

Bayern is also possible but doubt he'd want to go there again

#

Ac Milan? Idk if they have the money for that same goes to Inter and Juve

elfin dawn
#

Still you can’t judge a player for one season, I think Tuchel doesn’t takes out the best of Lukaku

elfin dawn
#

Conte did managed to put him in beast mode with Lautaro last season

knotty yacht
jovial plover
#

Nah it was smart but not for 100mil

knotty yacht
#

Yeah that’s what I mean

Barca will be agevolated in his rebuilding thanks to his young midfield La Masia made: Gavi, Riqui Puig, Ansu...

#

If they can pick other players from the academy with the right age they can rebuild a competitive team again

Dude needs to get into disciplinary

You left barcelona in its most dire need cause they wouldn’t meet your extravagant demands

#

If you really loved the club you would’ve played for free even, you can certainly afford it

#

Bye bye Messi

That’s not even allowed

You can renegotiate a contract however you wish as long as both parties have consented to it

With the money Messi gets from ad deals + the net worth he already owns he literally could work at a workers salary if he really wanted to help a club

But u can’t cut ur wages beyond 50%

Messi’s Barca’s best ever player and biggest legend sure

But it is kinda true some people make him sound more loyal than he actually was

#

It’s not really hard to stay at one club when you are paid 110 million a year while playing in a squad which competes for all the trophies available

grave glen
#

I don’t doubt Messi has deep love for the club, his goodbye speech is genuine the lad grew up in Barca

#

But at the same time

#

He became a greedy fuck

#

Its the money man

#

It ruins people

He knowingly kept asking for wage raises YEAR AFTER YEAR

Barcelona paid about 550 million in wages for him during Bartomeu

A player that loves his club doesn’t do this

Nah no way yall calling Messi unloyal

# grave glen He became a greedy fuck

idk about being a “greedy fuck”

But his behaviour after 8-2 was very poor for a club legend

And I get that players like him deserve a high pay

But it won’t really harm him one bit if he earned like 10-15 million a year instead of 50-55 million a year

It’s a complex situation

I certainly believe you can love something, and do the completely wrong actions

And all because of money

This is also a fair point. We only see the numbers (Messi’s salaries through the years, Barcelona’s debts)
And we only read what the reporters find out, whether it’s 100% accurate we’ll never know for sure. And there is probably a lot of nuance and details between the negotiations of Laporta & Messi. As much as there nuance in the reasons Leo decided to leave, and the reasons Bartomeu raised the wages of Lio this high through all these years.

Messi offered Barca to stay under very low wages but this wasn’t legally allowed by the la Liga regulations

Messi is Barca’s number 1 marketing strategy now look at Barca they can Barely fill half of their stadium

Everything Barca

#

But still messi was Barca’s main cash cow that’s clear

fading ember
ripe plover
#

Messi deserved the highest wages as the best player in the world because he was the most marketable player in the world it’s that simple

#

Doesn’t mean he wasn’t loyal to Barca

#

If he wasn’t loyal to Barca he would’ve left years ago

fading ember
#

Yeah he wasn’t a snake or traitor

#

But he wasn’t as loyal of a playe like someone like totti is to roma

#

I mean maybe he was 21 years is a long time

#

But he was getting paid a lot and winning trophies so it wasn’t a hard choice

I just looked it up to see if there was any information available on this

Totti and roma is such a miracle

yeah he was apart of that golden era in 2001-2002 where they actually won stuff but he stocked with them even when Real Madrid was calling

Totti staying at roma was way way more impressive than messi at Barcelona

I think the problems lie way deeper than we even know

no the dudes managing finances are

hence i can't take any of their analyses seriously

if messi is truly worth +200m in profits

#

literally any club would want to sign him at 100m wages

ripe plover

yet only psg offered

broken cobalt
#

No I don’t think so

#

Messi is not worth 100M atm

slate kayak
#

i know

#

im just trying to discredit that analysis which says he is

because messi's true cost is way higher than what you just pay to messi

ripe plover
#

But it’s what he has grossed

slate kayak
#

you think griezman could have demanded 900k in any other club?

broken cobalt
#

Last summer?

slate kayak
#

messi's wages allow those other demands to have a basis

ripe plover
#

But messi simply did in fact generate so much money

slate kayak
#

a good player can say give me 1/3 of what messi gets

#

but 1/3 of what he gets is still the max at any other club

ripe plover
#

Griezmann is not a even a fraction of what messi could generate for Barcelona

slate kayak
#

sure

#

no1 says griez wages are justified

ripe plover
#

I know

slate kayak
#

no other club would pay dingdong 440k pw to ghost every crucial game

#

anyway we will know the true impact at the end of this season

ripe plover

I just mean that Messi generating money is a different story than Barca their financial management

slate kayak

once the revenue numbers come in

ripe plover

people said real would suffer without ronaldo

they didn't even miss a beat

Without a doubt will messi leaving cause less revenue but even with messi the financial situation for barca is shambles

They didn’t suffer it but they are not as good as they were

of course it will be less, how much less nobody knows exactly

slate kayak

not sporting wise

#

Oh ok

ripe plover
slate kayak

sure

#

could also be because real didnt win ucl in 2019

or a dozen other factors

ripe plover

Of course ronaldo isn’t all what real was

but there isn't much of a blip

ripe plover
#

There are always many factors

slate kayak
#

yeah but if it was something like 200m you'd notice regardless

ripe plover
slate kayak
#

and if messi's impact is anywhere close to 300m+ we'll surely see it

ripe plover

Like the entire contract in years

So his revenue of 200 mil was split in many years

I'm not sure with the reliability yet

but xavi needs a preseason to actually get his tactics going

so i dont think barca should make rash decisions even if results dont come this season

#

and they finish outside top 4/6

dim sonnet
#

It isn't going to be a 'quick to demand results' vibe as it was with setien

grim thicket
#

it was a bit unfair on setien imo

#

he didnt rlly get the time to instil his philosophy

dim sonnet
#

Actually though, it was untimely the whole bringing him in and sacking him soon after

grim thicket
#

which btw is outdated, the same problem xavi is gonna face imo

#

as much as xavi is adamant that tiki taka still works in the modern era, even pep adapted to a more physical playstyle

#

so idk how effective his brand of football is gonna be, im sure its not gonna be as effective as it was in al sadd but lets see

dim sonnet
#

Pep is a different story now, he has the versatility to adapt quickly

#

Well cent let me tell you this

#

All good bringing tiki taka style, but who is left to play that

probably the new la masia players they keep talking about

gavi and whatnot

Eh will they though

grim thicket

exactly lol

#

well, ig pedri and de jong are bright spots there
