FC Barcelona Thread [2009/10]

I really liked Litmanen-Kluivert duo back in their Ajax days.

 

[Arnau]

Valdés, Puyol, Márquez, Chygrynskiy, Maxwell, Xavi, Touré, Keita, Henry, Jeffren e Ibra

Finally, Messi rested.

 

[Coruja]

lol

So many yellow/red cards. Stupid ref. That tackle on Messi for instance wasn't for red, but the referee lost the control and Xerez players didn't know to control themselves.

Anyhow, great result, average performance. But I wasn't excepting more from Chygy & Co. lol

Now, let's do it against Inter.

Som-Hi Campeones!!!

If you guys do it in Inter's game you'll lose. 2-0 + 3-1 = 3-3 = Inter go to the final. Or are you admiting defeat already?

Im just joking

I was in Lahti, the city where he currently plays. The restaurant is very popular there, they've got huge menus, with something for everyone - dozens of different pastas and pizzas, meat dishes and proper Italian ice cream. Plus the dishes are all huge and well-priced.

Italian cuisine! and gelato too? perfect!

Didn't talk to him or ask for an autograph, never been that kind of a guy.

fair enough man ... and he probably prefers to be left alone too ...

But I wasn't excepting more from Chygy & Co. lol

hah, too right, what a shame ... though it must be said that the finish was thumpingly perfect, à la Zlatan against the Arse ...

If you guys do it in Inter's game you'll lose. 2-0 + 3-1 = 3-3 = Inter go to the final. Or are you admiting defeat already?

haha, what? if we win 3-1, it'll be extra time ... if we win 2-0, we are through ... check your math, man

 

[Xifio]

Zlatan is not using his magic as much as he should.

Look at Messi at that goal that was canceled because of an offside.

oh no doubt that he is playing far from his potential ... he's showed his class at times this season, with some terrific finishing, and some sumptuous assists ... he has had niggling injuries in recent seasons, and I think that is a contributing factor for him not always running at 100% -- because he likely isn't completely fit, but fit-enough to play ...

but I still have a problem with the system ... Zlatan is not a typical target man, and his heading is average at best ... he likes the ball at his feet -- be it at ground level, or in the air, where his feet can still work magic ... he likes to get regular touches on the ball, and he excels on the confidence he develops as he makes classy passes and takes shots on goal ... in fact confidence makes all the difference for him, because he always looks so much better after he has scored and/or assisted ... so sticking him up front on his own is never really going to be bring the best out of him ... if he is isolated, then he'll try to do a little too much when he does get on the ball, and that doesn't always work out ... he has always been more of a #10 than a #9, and he would thrive if the forward formation is more fluid, and he was allowed a more free role up front ...

Jeffren scored a beautiful goal btw. It's not easy to score form that position.

he definitely slipped, but was opportunistic enough to make it work, and showed a superb turn of pace and an excellent finish!

 

[Arnau]

And I was impressed when I saw Camp Nou full of fans. Ok, it wasn't full as it will be against Inter, but still, a lot of people showed up.

Yeah i told you something big is coming. 84.000 fans today to watch the match against Xerez.

btw, anyone see the players shirts after the match?

P.S: lol at comeback song.

[Lamandinho]

They need it !! (To be trusted )
specially henry who didn't play long time ago !! everytime he did a mistake I keep saying " It's Ok man .. Just keep train' .. U can do it " lol

Ibra in the other way did a nice job today 1 goal and 1 assist hmmm not bad at all
you know most of the time when the ball comes to him .. he take a long time to think .. I think he is a little bit nervous or he doesn't have that much trust about the way he plays .. maybe he's train' to prove himself
He just need time and more chances .. hope these other 6 matches will be enough for him !!


congrats Catalans <3

Love love love loveee <3

87 point WOW
we need more 5 points to beat madrid's record ( 92 points in 1996-1997 ) but there were 22 teams at that time .. so we're gonna break the record with 4 rounds less hope so

 

[Arnau]

Madrid made 92 points in a league with 22 teams. the record it was our with 87 (last season).

I suck at Math
no really .. I didn't know that before !!
cool .. so we r breaking our record last season

 

[Jaboldinho]

I saw the first hour of the match. What the hell happened at the end? Like 5 yellow cards and 2 reds for Xerez in the last 10 minutes?! When I first saw that I was just thinking, please, no injuries.

 

[Coruja]

Italian cuisine! and gelato too? perfect!

Yeah, youre right, i was thinking that the first game result was 2-0 for Inter. Sorry

haha, nice vid ... 3-0? 4-1? 5-1? (though, don't forget, 5-1 was in extra time, and after Rivaldo missed that penalty ...)

it looks like everyone is getting really fired up for this, and I hope the players come out all guns blazing too ... man, I would be beyond ecstatic if we can win as convincingly as all those matches from memory lane ... the pressure is really on the players for this match, more than it has ever been since Pep took over ... and there is no better the time than when the pressure is on for this Barça side to show their class and their mettle ... I can't wait!

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Mira el que van fer de l'Estatut

 

[Arnau]

5-1? (though, don't forget, 5-1 was in extra time, and after Rivaldo missed that penalty ...)

Yes that match its my first Champions League memory, i remember Dani force the extra time with a late goal .

Btw, regarding Xerez match, it was nice to see a sunny match in the Camp nou.

 

[Arnau]

Arsenal also refused to train in camp nou.

300 fans will follow the team from the hotel to camp nou in motorbike tomorrow.
