    La Liga 2010/2011

    Post by Pierre Littbarski on Sun May 23, 2010 12:30 am

    Villa joins Barca and Mourinho (plus an Inter player or 2) joins Real.

    Adds credibility to those 2 teams.

    However if those 2 finished 25 points clear of 3rd (the gap in Serie A and EPL was 10) - how far back will the rest be next year ?

    Will Barca and Real lose any points to the others ?

    Is La Liga the new SPL ?

    I would hate to see Milito at Real.

    They don't really need him now do they???Plus I have my doubts about Diego Milito going to Real. Afterall his brother felt fucked by Florentino Perez, Valdano, and Co.

    Anyway, yes La Liga's title has been just a two team battle and it looks like it's going to be the same next season.

    The first division teams need to change the way tv deals are handled ASAP.

    Silva will probably join Real Madrid so Valencia who were the closet to a competitor is out of the race unless they make some great defensive signings because they won't be able to win La Liga by attacking without those two.

    La Liga was exposed last season in 08/09 when Barcelona hardly struggled and Real Madrid with a team many thought was one of the worst in recent times won something like 10/11 games or so. It was embarrassing for the league and it continued this season with two teams reaching an incredible points tally. Logic says that this gap will widen but I can't imagine these two teams improving even more. It would be even more boring then this season has been one of the worst I have seen.

    The gap between Madrid and 3rd won't as big as it was this, sevilla and atletico will have much much better seasons.

    the gap between first and madrid will be greater though.

    In the first place, why does everyone think that Real Madrid are suddenly going to start buying Inter players? We are only good for selling them our castoffs. But seriously, when Mourinho left Chelsea and went to Inter - who went with him? At the time Carvalho, Drogba, Lampard...they were all being linked with Inter. But nobody went. Mourinho made his own team at Inter. I suspect the same will be the case in Madrid even though names like Maicon and Milito are being tossed around.

    And second of all. The 'new SPL' is rather silly. If anything the SPL is the 'new la Liga'. Real Madrid and Barcelona have always dominated throughout the history of the spanish league so it's nothing new. I agree with Messiah, I think Sevilla and perhaps even more so Atletico have a good chance of really narrowing the gap next season. Valencia - who knows. If the exodus of players continues maybe they will have to be content with taking their CL money and continuing their restructuring.

    Part of my post from the Madrid thread:




    Following the league next season is going to be a fucking chore. Spain already has information/hype overload with the 4 daily papers and their mischief, now we have Mourinho who will be like oil to the fire Rolling Eyes

    His and Barça's story is truly a Star Wars analogy - prodigal child leaves achieves success by following principles of the "dark side" that are opposite to what Barça strives to achieve. And now he returns to fight them. If you stretch a bit, you can portray Guardiola as his "son", since he was a player when Mourinho was around Wink

    So who will triumph next season - good (Barça Razz ) or evil (Madrid) ?


    For the record, I officially make Madrid favourites for the league title and also predict that they'll at least reach the CL semis. Mourinho will add the team spirit and fighting mentality that will make your already talent-heavy squad into winners, and combined with Barça's likely dip in form, the circumstances are perfect.

    And crucially for Mourinho, the media will be on his side and lap up everything he says like a faithful dog. He'll also do a great job of winding up SPORT and MD so you can expect them to have their panties in a bunch every few days.

    What did you say in the other trend


    Barcelona will win La liga next season and make the CL final against Real if we avoid each other in the run in.

    Won't know why i should fair jose, we pep has a winning record against him and has manager to keep his team score less in two games.

    he over thought the CL game and thats why we lost.

    I don't think Mourinho will have the media on his side completely. In England they were eating out of his hand because they were suckers for his quotes but they didn't go after his tactics like Italy. In Spain likewise the game is analysed albeit from a more attacking perspective which won't be easy. Capello was also treated quite well until the season began. When the fans start booing the media will follow and Perez won't have any problems if the negative focus is on Mourinho. Remember that the media love he has gotten has been mostly been internationally and only grudgingly from Italy.

    Only super and his shit football worshiping , shall i show you why?, ok i will.

    Starting Milito at LB, is one example of him over thinking the tie.

    He has never done anything like that before, trying to stop maicon who didn't rape all over maxwell at the san siro, forgetting that pedro his shit out side the box and would need maxwell to overlap him, hence no width and creativity coming down the left.

    Just one example, and can come with more, if you still feel to talk shit.

    Laugh
    The funny thing with your posts is that im never quite sure if you are being serious or on the windup. You have to give some sort of sign.

    I was most laughing at you saying that Pep had a winning record against Mourinho. EXPLAIN Biggrin

    Inter 3-1 Barcelona
    Barcelona 1-0 Inter

    Question

    I worship shit football? I have been purist before but worshipping shit football. I simply appreciate different styles of football. Are you saying you can't ever enjoy a tactical match? Football is about many different things and not just attacking and if it was I probably wouldn't like it that much. Even if you are a purists you have to like defensive football because without it everybody would be attacking and there wouldn't be as many great stories. Barcelona vs Inter was much more enjoyable then Arsenal vs Barcelona.

    Now to the stupid part...

    So your claim is that Pep overthought this one. So in other words he bottled it or at least got it wrong? What about the year before against Chelsea where he maintained his shape and style and still looked clueless.
    Of course he would try something new because the old wasn't really working.

    So far in 4 games against teams(Chelsea/Inter) that can defend well and tries to he has looked out of ideas. His team tried much better then Rijkaards and I will give you that.

    I have forgotten nothing. Playing group games is certainly different from knock out games is it not. I thought that would be quite obvious though. Technically you guys are right but that wasn't the gist of what Messiah was trying to say I think.

    Well as you have said some many stupid things let me reply to them all.


    0-0
    2-0
    3-1
    1-0

    Thats that.

    I won't bother to reply to your taste in football, but as a madrid fan i expect better.

    In 6 games against Chelsea inter that can defend well, we have lost ONE FUCKING GAME.

    He stayed true to our game plan against chelsea and it won through in the end, because we still had the FB bombing forward even with 10 men, keeping the width and trying to pull Chelsea of out.

    So we may have looked clueless, it was our style of play that won it in the end, unlike against chelsea were he was over thinking every little thing, kinda like against espanyol (4-14-1 against espanyol come on pep)

    In the Inter game instead of just coming out with the 4-3-3, that we normally play, keep the ball and have the FB coming forward to open up the pitch, he had us playing too narrow afraid of being counter attack.

    Over thinking the game, which he should never have done, should have stayed true ti our identity.

    It is not a football game, where two teams of 11 men try to out score each other?.


    I'm sure if jose had beaten us in the group stage, but lost in the K.O stage, you would have highlighted that.

    Its a football game, and in 4 games played against Jose, pep has a winning record.

    He has only lost one(after having to travel because of the volcano, did i remain you want jose said, about the Icelandic volcano) and only in one game has he team better scored against.

    Just like how Jose has a winning record against barca, because he beat us in the group stage of the CL many times.

    Well good luck to Barca and Real. You both are being a bit too much. So I'll stick to my Athletic Bilbao, Valencia, Deportivo, Sevilla, and A. Madrid next season. Just watching the last two spots of the Champions league race, and seeing what new youngsters and additions these teams make this season. Most of these sides don't have tons of money, and they still manage to be quite entertaining, so I'll focus on that. I have a feeling some of my favorite dutch league players will go to some of those sides as well, so offcourse I'll follow them if they do. Wink

    Hopefully VDV will leave this summer, to take his medicore ass somewhere else so he can shine!
