The Real Madrid coach driver was revving the engine out on Calle Blasco Ibáñez when, well after midnight on Saturday, the man formerly known as the most expensive footballer in the world strode through a heaving mixed zone in El Madrigal. "All right mate," offered Cristiano Ronaldo with a comically broad Oasis lilt as he spied a familiar face from the Manchester press pack amid the huddle at the end of the line. "Don't worry, he's just coming through." And, as the Portuguese departed stage left to put the finishing touches on a new contract back at the Bernabéu, Gareth Bale duly emerged from the changing rooms to walk, head bowed and eyes fixed on the floor, through the throng and away.

that looks like pepe being played in the midfield destroyed role mourinho used him in during a couple of barcelona games?unlike then they have modric to break / conjoin the lines between the goons and the attackersslightly surprised carvajal is being played vs neymarronaldo supposedly hates being played as #9 di maria has been in good form
bulking the midfield with fabregas maybe more tolerable now they have a threatening wide player in neymarvaldes has been in good form but that defence has not adjusted well to the lower possession they have this seasonmessi has been out with an injury but after doing nothing in half an hour vs osasuna last week, he scored vs milan

messi chasing down fullbacks in classicos is going to cause tata some problems
― Congress Poland (nakhchivan), Saturday, 26 October 2013 16:35 (ten years ago) link
that was an interesting but not brilliant first half
barcelona's frontline looks more fluid with messi reduced to closer to parity wrt cesc and neymar, mostly playing rightish almost in a sort of 442 without wingers, the magic diamond in midfield and messi and neymar breaking off left and right
madrid look like the team harry redknapp would buy if the sun gave him €2bn to make his dream xi, a lot of paaar and pace, a lot of lads who will run through a brick wall for you and just a little bit of subtlety
even so they look dangerous enough in transitions just because they are so athletic, bale is erratic but at some point he will run at piqué and will manage not to shoot into the bleachers

that second half was excellent
the alexis substitution was ambitious because if tata wanted to go to a more orthodox 433, pedro is the more disciplined and reliable player
then that beatiful finish....
altogether tata can be fairly pleased with that, even if he got lucky with the ronaldo (non)penalty incident, mascherano does something like that every game
ancelotti did alright, no glaring errors except maybe arbeloa would have been better than carvajal, or better play ramos there and then let illaramendi play from the beginning
bale wasn't great but it would be fair to expect much more with his mismanaged muscular injury and lack of pre-season, the madrid press will be shitting on him

and so it finishes
barcelona didn't seem to lack 'passion' or whatever, they just couldn't get past a solid defensive line, liverpool's lightning fast on loan cb tiago illori was creditable and the cameroonian rb nyom whom was brilliant, locked down the right side of defence and at 6'2 nearly outpaced jordi alba over a short sprint, which virtually never happens
everything with barcelona is as cristiano ronaldo used to say, 'polemic' and happens against the backdrop of idiot entitled fans and emotionally incontinent sports-press but i'd like to exculpate
i) tata, who landed his first european job at the last minute and has been dignified and mostly competent
he was outwitted by simeone and he will probably narrowly lose la liga, but neither of those is a disgrace
ii) messi, who for the second year running was tasked with rescuing their entire season as soon as he came back, and who has done that until the last two games -- took them past manchester city, kept their faint hopes in la liga alive with a hat-trick at the bernabeu
no idea what happened to him lately, but he took them to a position they would not otherwise have got to
the whole club has been traduced by cunts and idiots, the rossell administration
i) alienated guardiolaii) tried to neg messiiii) humiliated the club with the corrupt neymar payments disasteriv) mismanaged the squad renewal by (eg) failing to give thiago the contract he deserved and thereby let a gold plated successor to xavi leave for scarcely more than they wasted on the very clearly inadequate alex songiv) may well have given them a two year transfer ban, and even if this is eventually defeated on appeal, they will have to plan for this summer on the presumption that it stands

they ranted at messi for supposedly conserving his energy to prepare for the world cup, and racially abused neymar
you can be sure that football supporter logic also holds neymar personally responsible for the irregularities of his transfer, and for not being maradona in his first season in europe
great football players must hate the fans and their inchoerent 'passion', not that they have much to do with them but if messi finds himself approached by people in barca shirts what is he likely to think? fawning sycophancy, aggressive requests for autographs or pictures, unless he has one bad game played on the right wing for the first time in half a decade, in which case he is suddenly a traitor and a disgrace

there is a terrible recession but catalunya and barcelona specifically are probably the worst affected areas of the country, which has intensified the secessionist movement because catalan nationalists take umbrage at subsidizing the rest of spain
it doesn't help that from laporta onwards they have fused the pseudo-collectivist ethnic pride thing with a parallel identity as unicef branded evangelists of the one and only right way to play football, and the mourinho era worsened the tensions between the teams

nothing but scorn for whichever wastemen bought alex song play in order to play at least some of the time at cb
he played there occasionally for arsenal only because he was the only other > 6' tall outfield player they had at the time but it was obvious that his best qualities were never defensive ones, even as a defensive midfielder his most obvious assets were more to do with his playmaking ability than conventional defensive skills

they underestimated how good seydou keita was, if they wanted to buy a player to do replace everything he brought to the side then they needed to spend more than £15m, and they needed to buy a dedicated centre back as well rather than attempt to buy one good but not great player to do both

that goal probably establishes him as a real madrid player
it's been quite noticeable this season how reticent the rest of the players (not just the queeny 'cr7') are when bale scores a goal, he is one of only three non-latin players in the squad in addition to whatever resentments his record fee created
it wasn't really refined but good technique and sangfroid in the penalty area aligned with lightning quickness makes him a great player, maybe not a €100m player but enough to show the fee had some basis in reality
the way that neymar shot bounced off the post and into the arms of casillas was comical

still think tata has fucked up but trying to avoid making a decision out of which 2 to play from the iniesta/xavi/cesc trio. Trying to shoehorn iniesta in wide left and neymar wide right clearly hasn't worked yet stil he persists. Messi central, Neymar left, pedro or alexis right. busquets at the base then pick 2 of the others. Maybe barca would still have lost the last 3 games but i'm p sure they'd have played better at least.
― pandemic, Friday, 18 April 2014 09:47 (ten years ago) link
cesc has worked at times as a pseudo forward who bulks out the midfield but neymar on the right and iniesta on the left is an almost moyesian level of deliberate self-limiting
i never thought barca needed him, i said here years ago that modric would have been a better choice, and thiago is as good a like-for-like successor to xavi as one could hope for but the next manager needs to work on a post-xavi barcelona with cesc, iniesta and busquets together
that means they will have to adapt to something less than a pure retention style, and i can see why tata as such a belated essential caretaker appointee doesn't want to try to upset the ship
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 18 April 2014 14:35 (ten years ago) link
yup letting tiago go thru not giving him the required number of starts last season is 1000x more damaging than anything tata has done this season.
when you add in the neymar transfer shenanigans then you have the 2 most crippling blows to Barca's season. Kinda think they'll let tata go and try to consign this season's probable failure to his door.
― pandemic, Friday, 18 April 2014 14:53 (ten years ago) link
thiago
tata is gone, rumours months ago that he didn't like the goldfish bowl lunacy of barcelona and would leave anyway
lot of shit about klopp in the barca press but i) did they read his comments the barcelona style (he would rather watch tennis) and ii) he doesn't seem any more likely to desert his self-made project than wenger was in the mid 2000s when he was linked constantly with madrid and barcelona

i worry for atleticoaway to valencia on sunday then chelsea three days later with the possibility of extra time
sevilla in 2006/07 were in an analogous situation where they tried for both the europa league and la liga and they couldn't manage it, they played a high intensity rapid sort of football and they didn't have great squad depth
i'd rather they won the league than the champions league but since it's chelsea, they have to at least reach the final
