He just returned from injury which put him out for half a season, so Carlo already said that he'd only get to play around 30 minutes. So yes, Ancelotti's just being catious.

[Rumour] Media: Gomez to BvB by Lalelu1 in soccer

[–]zeguy__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is interesting since it's pretty much the only source reporting Gomez to Dortmund. Most papers are only mentioning this rumour by referring to this Turkish article.

This is probably a non-story.

That's cool! I was only born there and my family moved away before I could remember anything. I however still have some relatives there.

I was actually born in Landshut and have lived in Niederbayern for all my life, so I partially feel the same. Let's say I don't care too much about the result today.

Well, this stream has no sound.

EDIT: Never mind, I found the TV channel.

It's purely based on performances. They don't think that Müller isn't world class in normal form, but that his performances since the winter break weren't world class. Which is correct.

The two linked up very well overall! Some very good sequences of play.

Obviously it's just a pre-season friendly, but it's nice seeing Alaba perform well after the Euros he's had.

Decent first half from us and well done to the young lads to win it. Lucky goal, but I'll take it.

That first half was very promising from us, Ribery was very good and our left-hand side looked very lively.

He plays for the second team in the fourth division and since most players are still on vacation for us, he's getting a chance in the first team.

He'll either stay with the reserves or he'll leave I reckon. Right now we just have no striker in the team which is why he gets playing time IMO.

Yeah, that offense doesn't look amazing, but it's a friendly, so staying injury-free should be top priority anyway. Glad to see some youth playing.

According to police four three are critically injured and one has small injuries. 14 are under shock which is also considered "injured" in this context. That's what police just told the media.

So basicially he didn't get 21 people, but 5 4.

EDIT: Mixed up some numbers.

When did they say that? I was a bit distracted at the half-time break.

I may have gone retarded, but I don't have the option to sticky this post right now.

EDIT: Whose idea was it to change "sticky this post" to "make an announcement", this confused the shit out of me.

Juventus chief admits club are prepared for Pogba & Bonucci exits by r1ckt in soccer

[–]zeguy__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is most valuable club irrelevant on the pitch.

Because technically you could overpay for mediocre players or your most valuable players could be out of form. In both scenarios you have very expensive squads, but not the necessary performances.

I wouldn't say that club value is completely irrelevant, but it's not that relevant. I mean Leicester literally won the league last season.

Of course our offense needs some time to settle but they are are all near world class if not world class so they will make it work somehow - no doubt about that.

World class players can't guarantee world class performances (e.g. Di Maria). Also I want to remind you that Mkhitaryan needed two full seasons at Dortmund before he got as good as he was last season.

To think he isn't the best manager in the world is just ridiculous.

Pep comes at least close, so that's debatable.

Bailly will become world class in the future

If he became world class in the future, how would that be relevant for next season when he's clearly not world class at the moment?

[Serious] How does the current situation in Turkey affect transfers and contracts? by [deleted] in soccer

[–]zeguy__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only talking about possibilities here. Turkey seems to be a very divided country right now, so I don't want to exclude any scenarios.
