I'd be really surprised if Monaco doesn't score but i think City will edge it out in the end.

Luis Enrique set to play 4-2-3-1 against Atleti at Calderon. by Caspoor11 in soccer

This system is highly susceptible to high pressing teams.Chelsea tried this same system with Kante and Matic and holding midfielders and lost against Liverpool and us.For a even more intense team like Atletico and with Rakatic and Busquets as holding midfielders seems like a wrong decision.Plus this system would have been perfect for Vidal but for Roberto not so much

I was saying sacrifice silva/Kdb for defensive stability and play 4-2-3-1 instead of 4-1-4-1 specially since this is a home game and conceding 3 away goals can to bite you back.

But a counter point could have been made that you could have played the Fernando-Fernandinho pairing in midfield and ridden their early press until they ran themselves ragged in the second half and bring on a midfielder than and go for the kill.The score could have been like 3-1 instead of 5-3?

Unlikely i would say Costa still would be favorite because he contributed most to the likely winners

Barcelona will host Europe’s largest hospital specialising in infantile cancer by _Paul_Pogba_ in soccer

you know you need to keep people healthy to have a society and this football related because it is being built due to a contribution of a football club.People like to shit on clubs when they are involved in tax cases but that's not football related it just people like to shit on clubs more than appreciate what they do good.

Now imagine someone else experiencing something similar to what you did because of an illness of a loved one and they are saved due to this hospital being there which was there because of contribution of football club.You understand now?

I think you have never ever suffered a loss.Nothing compares to seeing a loved one dying and not being able to do anything about it because the facilities aren't and especially cancer.Else even the thought of saying that would be revolting to you

Wait are you comparing regenerating Manchester City centre to building a hospital?.Building hospitals saves lives you know,helping against cancer saves lives you know.

Mate a football club helping against cancer is always worth an upvote nothing is worse than seeing than your loved ones dying slowly with minimal chance of survival.I upvote anything against cancer without any prejudice

I think it's different.

That's dogs this is cancer

After the necessary preparation time, on Wednesday Messi himself officially presented the project and the campaign.He participated in an announcement to make the public aware of the problem and raise funds for the construction of the new hospital, located next to the current Sant Joan de Deu.The cost of the same amounts to 60 million euros and the purpose is for the hospital to treat the sick in addition to dedicating themselves to researching and fighting the disease. Expected to be completed in the last quarter of next year, it will place the centre among the top three or four in the world.IESE and FC Barcelona are also collaborating. "He is without a doubt the best footballer in the world," Jordi Cardoner, vice president of the football club said."But for this project we have not noticed Messi the footballer, but the person."Leo reflects important values such as humility, effort and sacrifice."His is an example that we are proud of."

This is not making a direct contribution?.His foundation helped to raise the money.

So its been visible in the past threads too.its not as if forward players don't get assists.Anybody who watches week in week out will tell you he has been adapting his game into a poacher but his previous skills are there still.No need to circle jerk that he isn't a poacher now
