Joseph Guardiola Leaves FC Barcelona

Its official Joseph  Guardiola the head coach of FC Barcelona is leaving on the 30th of June this year. It was been an emotional time for the footballing community world wide seeing the success and legacy of this man over the last four seasons. The structure and style adopted by Guardiloa has brought creativity and excitement to the beautiful game and I myself have studied hundreds of his games.


The repositioning of my all time favorite player Lionel Messi was amazing and clever. This strategy, is now commonly known as the 'false nine', moving the 24-year-old into a deep central striking role and allowing him licence to confuse and trick midfielders and defenders, has unleashed a torrent of goals rarely seen in football history.

Also the risk, and thrill, of consistently playing three at the back in order to produce superiority of numbers in midfield and, thus, more scoring chances, and recently his choice of regularly using four forwards, will be a long lasting memory for some football romantics.

The reason for his departure was because as he said:

"These past four years have emptied my reservoirs and now I need to fill them again," said Guardiola in a press conference attended by both journalists and some of his leading players. "That is the fundamental reason that I have announced my era here has finished. A coach needs to have passion and energy with which to infuse his players so that they can approach matches full of enthusiasm.
"This is what I need to recover and I will only get that back by resting. I am truly satisfied with what we have achieved and above all by the way we have achieved it. I would like to thank my players for the privilege it has been to coach them and for helping me to enjoy this job. They made me very happy game after game.

What is Happening with Tottenham?

What is Going on with Tottenham?
At the Start of the English Premier League Title Tottenham Hotspur were unbeatable, they were pushing for their first title in over fifty years and were comfortably set to make it into the Champions League. Come Easter a different story has emerged. Tottenham has now won one game from nine and sitting in ffth struggling for wins and now looking quite unlikely to make the Champions League. It dropped out of the FA Cup semi-finals with a 5-1 loss and has loss to two sides who are in the bottom half of the table. It leads us and fans to wonder what is happening with Tottenham Hotspur???




I think our team is disintegrating but not because of Harry Redknapp, or not solely because of him. The team have lost their spirit because things are happening in it that have nothing to do with the England situation. Some of the players expect to be treated differently, expect to be special, and that never bodes well. The razzle dazzle of the first 3/4 of the season has disappeared. We don't press, and suprisingly have become a team that is very light weight on the ball, too genteel, easily brushed off - non-committal in the tackle. Today barring Walker Lennon and Bale almost everyone seemed to be pulling their legs back, whereas Norwich were sticking theirs in. A worrying sign of a lack of belief. I think Modric will want out again, and this time he needs to be sold quickly. Yes haggle for the best price, but get it over with early, do our business early, if need be get a new manager early and just focus on pre-season after the Euros.


The team hs been under immense pressure in coming weaks with talks of summer signings such as Luka Modircs re-interest into Chelsea and Champion side Barcelona are after the Welsh International Gareth Bale. It seems players are unmotivated and have their minds on otherthings.  Furthermore the speculation of whether Harry Redknapp will continue to coach Tottenham or take the England Job is also a hot topic in football circles and amongst the team. while it seems the players will bleed for their team it does seem that morale is dwindling along with no team motivation. It is up to Harry to build character back in the side and buildconfidenceback up. The Tottenham team is not down and out and are only 3 points behind the top four and six points out of the top three. solid victories in the last few matches should cement our spot in the Champions League and the estimated 40 million Euros should also help Tottenham buy layers and build a strong force for the future years. Our support remains with the Tottenham players and we know that thy will shine and push through. COYS
 

The funny side

Ok... sorry for not posting recently but I think we are finally getting grips with reality after the upsetting loss of Barcelona to Real Madrid in the all time great match rivalries 'The El Classico'.
So I thought what better way to lighten the mood then with some humorous images of how the game unfolded, hope you enjoy :)

 

 Real Madrid where in need so some serious prayers coming into this El Classico match seeing how they have been able to beat Barcelona in the last 12 of these games!

 

The First half score was a shock to everyone because everyone went into this game expecting Barca to win or at least draw, so nerves were up at half time

Tempers were up while the worlds best team were losing and the best player in the world (Leo Messi) was having a scoreless game. Some people say that Messi wouldn't be as good if he didn't have the help of Xavi and Inesta on his team.

With such great pressure on Real Madrid to finally win there first 'El Classico', all was settled when Ronaldo was able to make that decisive moment and scored their second goal in Barca's home stadium... everyone knew it was now over :(

Poor Fabregas finally thought he might be able to win the La Liga with Barca, but now Real Madrid are 7 points clear, this is impossible.

 

A  continuing debate over the past few years is why Barcelona win so many of their big games is because they have been paying the ref
