do4luv14: Xabi Alonso reveals why he left Real Madrid to join Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich He admits that moving to Germany straight after winning Madrid's Decima was prompted by wanting to learn from Guardiola. 'I was so curious to find out his secrets,' he told The Athletic. The 37-year-old reveals that the Manchester City boss made his players 'feel like we knew the opponent better than they knew themselves'. Alonso insists that Guardiola is a micro-manager, obsessed by the small details and wired differently to others in his field. 'A relentless natural enthusiasm,' he said. 'Football seasons are long but right until the very end, Pep never seemed to be tired. He was alert, always ready. For the players, maybe this gave us an extra few metres in our legs when it mattered most.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7692579/Xabi-Alonso-reveals-left-Real-Madrid-Pep-Guardiolas-Bayern-Munich.html 1 Like

AIG07: Two problems that CAF could face from this format, which might turn out to be an advantage for some countries is that if they continue this monthly stadium inspection before they get approval for games, a lot of countries will have to play their home games at neutral venue cus their stadiums won't meet the required standards. Also, we might see some countries pulling out due to lack of funds |

TheGoodJoe: I'm not celebrating anything...just pointing out how funny the game was 🤣 When Mourinho retires, he will be remembered as one of the greatest manager of all time, whether or not his tactics are enjoyable to some people.. There are plenty of coaches who play similar style as him, but haven't won shit.... Ultimately,he will be judged by his wins not by how many people he managed to impress .. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Danielnino00: Mourinho will always be remembered of a coach that kept climbing down the ladder of football. As time goes on, we will know the league managers are actually the best and Mourinho would not be in the list of League dominating managers. |

Danielnino00:to prevent the issue of countries pulling out, they may decide to zone the qualifiers so that the burden of travelling is not much on the smaller countries. You may say they are going to use fifa rankings but there is no law that makes it compulsory to use fifa rankings for the qualifiers. No matter what I'm sure we will win our qualifiers group. |

TheGoodJoe:was very impressed with John Stones performance over both legs. He so far off field and I’m wondering what kind of this is this. I like it. At one point he receives the ball in the middle and pep was shouting for him to turn, instead of passing the ball back. I like that. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:Oga tactics is not defined as "possession football" Tactics is the method you adopt to win a football game. Whoever wins had the better tactics. You had 99% possession and still lost = poor tactics. When I play football manager, and come against an ultra defensive team, at about the 65 mins mark, I change my tactics to deliberately start giving my opponent the ball, because they didn't plan to have the ball, they wouldn't know what to do with it, they start making mistakes and concede ... Alonso no fit do that simple thing? ![]() You hug the ball for 70 mins, no result then you go on hugging it for the entire 90 mins and lost... Radarada poor tactics! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Hanibal: What are you saying? They had six chances on target. Why change tactics when you can have six chances on target. It is football. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. That is why it is a long term game Mourinho celebrated his park bus tactics against Guardiola in 2010. Look at where Guardiola is, see.where Mourinho is. That game does not decide future dominance but tactical playing style. 1 Like |

Starboytwo: I believe Rico Lewis coming into the team influenced John Stones. As soon as Stones mastered the inverted role, he became a very key player in our recent rise. He has been special and a tactical spark to purchase play. |

TheGoodJoe: 20 years from now on, when you Google or ask 1 thousand football expert about a list of the greatest coaches of all time, Mourinho name will be mentioned... Nobody will remember those who played fancy football but couldn't achieve results... Because Mourinho style doesn't suit your taste doesn't mean you should rubbish it.. like somebody said earlier, tactics isn't about playing possession football.. tactics are a plan of action... If football was like a war zone, somebody like Mourinho will be a 5 star general because his tactics most times bring victories for his team... League titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain are no joke... Also, don't forget that he coached one of the greatest offensive team in the world in Real Madrid... Had they won the champions league that season, it would be considered one of the best of all time... Give the man his respect..he has earned it 3 Likes |

You’re talking about a team of a decade ago Football has evolved and it’ll shock how Barca will loose by a mile. You forgot to put physicality into consideration City is exactly as good against them man for man Except Messi City got the better goal keeper and defense Equal midfield And you’re telling me that city will loose The only player that can match city physically is abidal and Messi the rest will be eaten like raw meat |
