seriously.. put pepe as a DM was really brilliant idea.. we can saw that barca kind off lack of freedom in the center.. superb tactic by the special one.. Pepe is just like a bulldozer.. and he control and try to get the ball well from opponent.. i can see that we have chance to win copa del ray and CL as well..

Awesome mourinho.. really cant wait to see CDR Final. We win this cup.. i would say we can beat barca in CL..

Lose-->Draw--> WIN !!1

pepe is a DM for portugal squad in the WC

yup.. i know that, in fact he played in that position quite number of time in the past years.. but this the 1st time the special one used this tactic.. which im really impress.. he is really a genius..

next 3 games, it won't be that simple.......expect guardiola to deal with pepe.......though guardiola is in a rival team, but i don't have any problem giving the man the full respect and admiration for what he has done at barcelona........the man is a genius.....

don't read too much into this game......scoring with 10 men, pepe's nice work and all........remember that barcelona will no doubt feel the pressure whenever they play at santiago bernabeu just like when real madrid play at nou camp.......nothing much to read into this game if you ask me........

jose knows the league is out of reach.......perhaps so does guardiola.......the next 3 games are crucial to real madrid........ i dare say that barca will romp all over pepe, xabi alonso and khedira mercilessly in copa del rey and at nou camp in the champions league......

that said, i think real madrid as a team has a better physical condition.........

i have some concern over casillas though, when at the final whistle, i think he was calling a few players back to the pitch to appreciate the crowd or something? barca did that last night......

no due respect for the captain of real madrid?

the league is as good as gone to nou camp perhaps after the draw??

1 down.
3 to go: copa + UCL.

Hilarious video by Adidas

nice one!

messi wanna buy real jersey but very malu one
wakakaka

hahah nice one

why does cryuff talk so much? look at this

http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2011/...mourinho-doesnt

maybe he should say that sir alex doesn't care about football too when they played arsenal.....

he is trying to rile up people.......he should just coach his son on how to cross.......

Di Stefano complained about how Real Madrid played in Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona....

Question: you want to win ugly and have result? or play fancy football like arsenal but no results?

they all should have anticipated that wan they hire Mourinho as their coaches

Chelsea... Inter..all defensively sound... and look at how many trophy he won for them?

negative coach? I would rather call that tactical move to make Barca ineffective.

while Barca can dominate the possession.... how do the opponent play good football?

it's entirely impossible .....

He sounds like Wenger who whine when a physical team like Stoke get a draw and prevent them from getting all 3 points

there's a different approach at different times to adopt attacking style or defensive play ....

those will not change the approach will eat their own dust one day...

look back to Arsenal... no less than Barcelona in attacking flair ..but they often lack plan B

Yes,u might prefer results.
But understand where di stefano come from.he wants good football and results,like the real madrid of old.
Real fans want good football,mou wants results.its hard to say if real madrid will chane mou or mou will change madrid.i am suspecting real madrid will be real madrid,good football is a must.mou will go one day

result>good football

well if this matter keep on continue i bet this is the last season for him..

yay time for me to change the wind as well

he get the job done
of course if possible i want to watch real madrid like zidane figo reberto carlos era
but at the end of the day, no one will care about gameplay
result is all that matter

the main cause is florentino perez himself...
his galatico concept
buying stars instead of breeding in youth academy

see from man utd of 98....barcelona of 07


it's not real play like tat every league match...
it's a special tactic to counter Barcelona
and it's the sole reason Mourinho join Real
tis is only the 1st season ...while Barca players already play with each other for at least few years
sure there is some different in quality of game play if the quality of players are indifferent

if this would be mourinho last season. fear not, rafa is there waiting.

give mourinho some time
Inter did not win every outright in his 1st season in Italy ...like I said
the defensive tactic is the only way to upset the current Barcelona
im sure he will come out with better approach next season ...

and wad can u do when the other team is the best in keeping possession

how to play beautiful football against them? no team will ever get higher possession time against them

not even Arsenal

success and good football are not instant cup noodle
3 mins then u can taste it already

SAF oso on the verge of being sack before winning his 1st trophy

even the beautiful football obsessed professor had hard time against them....

btw..Rafa approach to game isnt better than Mourinho...

wan beautiful game..should go for wenger....

and then... there will be ppl complain there's no success...

remember wad happened when real going for attacking football and ended up 5-0 slaughtering by barca

and when this happens again and again... will Di Stefano be happy? will the fans be happy?

expect the current barca can maintain their game play for at least 5 years ...
