The other games today - 2012/13


Recommended Posts

Finesse shot should just be renamed the Robben shot. Ridiculous how often he cuts onto his left and scores in the top corner

 

He's good at it, but what makes it so good is his ability to change/alter and shoot into the first post. What I still don't get though is how good Robben must seriously be, I know he's a very good player, but the fact that everyone knows he's going to cut inside and he still manages to do it 99% of the time says something. A bit like Garrincha who everyone knew what he would do but still managed to do it 99% of the time.

"You should know that, in fact, we're not living our first fairy tale. We actually don't get along with fairies anymore. We don't really care about them now. As friends, we only have old ghosts left. We have calluses in our hands and feet. We stink.

You should know that, like the fairies, History is afraid of us. We know her secrets. All of them. Not all of them are nice, not all of them bring us to the top, not all of them are pretty.

But we know them all, we've been there.

Our turk friends, consider yourself warned. With or without fairies, your story ends today and here."

51 years ago, on the exact same day, May 2, in Amsterdam, we won the European Cup. Half a century later, Amsterdam is the goal once again.

Possibly the best player going at winning FKs when you're looking to close out a game/wind up opponents. See World Cup 2010 v Brazil.

 

File under: Very good player but could have been better.

To be fair to him he looks (judging on the last few games I've seen) like he's been working on the side of his game that's always let him down. Especially these Barca games. Worked very hard and looked less selfish.

I think it's safe to assume he (and his teammates) massively motivated by righting last years wrongs in the Champions League.

 

Having a new manager waiting in the wings will probably be helping too although they were obviously flying pre-Pep announcement.
