OK, serious question here.

We all keep saying: Mourinho does what he does to take the pressure off his players.

CAN THIS BE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Real Madrid have many decent players that got to super stars levels, don't they deserve/need some sort of pressure to perform, I mean if a player knows by the end of the day he has someone to take all the pressure of him would he give his best, if the coach makes himself the center of attention and it always ME, I, MYSELF what did you leave for the players, those are humans with EGOs they need attention.

I am not a Barca fan, far from being one, but when Barca plays I pay attention to every single Barca player, I would like to see how Xavi controls the game, What passes will Inesta do, What dribbles will Messi do, etc....

When I watch RM its always what will MOURINHO do, how will he approach this game, will he play this player in this or that position. etc.....

In Ibras book he described Barca players as school boys, well if that is the case then I see RM players under Mourinho as 2 years old kids that need moms permission before doing or saying anything.

And 'Why Mou not Learning'

For game everyone is 'sick' of, everyone seems to have an opinion.

Maybe the problem is that Fabregas/Iniesta/Busquets/Xavi are better than Pepe/Lass/Alonso?

Gee wouldn't that be absolutely shocking

Gee never expected to find someone as smart as you on GL.
But weren't Inesta, Xavi, Messi, better than Cambiasso, Zanetti, Muntari.

Inter beat them once, was outplayed for the most part. counter is overrated, if you cant exert some form of control against barca, your chance of winning decrease significantly. and what Bhends said lol

and need i add that this side is vastly better than the team inter beat?

no offense bro but you are way off target

Interesting observation. There's not a single question mark in the OP despite what the title reads smoking

Wait, what?
And me coming from the Arsenal thread, where people are saying Wenger doesn't pressure his players at all, and needs to be more like Mou and criticise them some times...

But Inter outplay Barca at San Siro and have to play for more than one hour with 10 player at Campnou. If play with 11, for surely, Inter will win with counter again. I see how strong Inter defense is this weekend again against very good and fast attackers, Pato, Ibra, Boateng, Robinho. We have only few shoot on goals and they have one go disalow, to be honest. An when they play Barca they was 2 year younger.

When you play in front of your box for 90min, it's not easy to catch people lol.

by Swanhends Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:39 am

We beat barca at San Siro because we surprised them, finished our chances when we got them, and got a little luck...it was basically a fluke win

If we played them 10 times they would probably have won 5 and drawn 3...everything just came together at once

Madrid has no chance of catching barca by surprise like we did and they have a lot of players that are frankly...dumber....then the players we had

There is no "secret" to why barca are winning nor is there a "problem" to blame for Madrid other than the fact that they simply aren't as good

We already play them 2 time this year. We draw at Camp Nou and lose 2-3 at San Siro. Unfair penalty only difference. We score 2 good goal and they have one good goal and a Von Bommel goal and a penalty.

One thing you guys have to take note is that Barca always bring their 100% against Real Madrid which is not the case when they faces other sides like Inter or Milan. they don't have the same intensity when they face ordinary teams.

You mean ordinary team that eliminate them from CL? Or ordinary team that have many more CL championship than Barca, like my team? You are a funny guy.

Maybe ordinary wasn't the right word but what i'm trying to say is Barcelona play on a higher level when they face Real Madrid.

Myabe, but I think all team play with more intensity in CL.

by Lex Thu Jan 19, 2012 3:36 am

i disagree, Barca play like they would normally and their class just shines through. They barely got out of second gear yesterday.

by leemhuis Thu Jan 19, 2012 4:09 am

Ok we will wait. The draw have most Serie A and EPL team against each other. This and fact that Barcelona and Madrid play very easy game in La Liga unless play each. Give big advantage to Barca and madrid in CL. But if they play English or Italian team next, i am interest to see what happen.

You're probably that delusional that you actually believe this nonsense
