he's very good though. Plays in Brazil, that's why you don't know him.

Yeah, Alonso is missed a lot. I always say he's the best pivot, DLP or whatever you guys call him. He changes the team a lot.

you need to meet Busquets then. After the match I'll introduce you him.

DIRTY!!!!! he did it on purpose, the ball was already gone. Spaniard bitches don't know how to lose

that's the only way to stop Neymar, bitches

do you guys realize that it isn't about only throwing himself on the ball, but how he touches it so he doesn't push it for the goal instead. It's CLASS!

See? Neymar isn't the only to over-act and dive.

hahahaha Brazilian chanting: Quer jogar? Quer jogar? O Brasil vai te ensinar/ Wanna play? Wanna play? Brazil will teach you how

no choking, Bernardo, let's be fair, we're completely dominating them. WE don't let them play. It's so unfair to say they're choking when Brazil is spanking them, having more possession, more chances, stopping their tiki taka

GOLEADA MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

AZPILICUETA!!!! FINALLY!!! But still want Spain to lose

I don't know. If he's willing to have Torres and Mata - who aren't from RM and FCB, why not Azpili?

and why VDB thinks Arbeloa - the weak link - is a better option than Azpilicueta is something I'll NEVER understand.

NEYMAR!!!! ASSISTED BY OSCAR FUCK YEAH

MAGNIFICENT DAVID LUIZ!!!!!

hey, I'm the kindergarten teacher

no I mean when they start arguing, trying to intimidate, getting their panties in a knot There are plenty of divers in Brazil's side, I didn't mean that at all.

there's nothing funnier than Spaniards (especially this team's) inability to lose (possession and score wise). They're such bitter bitches. (although Mata is class)

THAT'S FUCKING BRAZIL BITCHES

the last thing I would bother in a place like that is where to sleep, bathroom and towels. I'd probably wouldn't even bother about anything at all. Just relax!

Nour, as I wasn't the one who created the graphics I had to analyze the matches where Lampard played, and when he played I suppose that's the position he played mostly. The graphic sort of shows it, which is why those graphics are so amazing because they show where the players spent most time and where they had the ball most the times. That's why I can't talk about Mikel-Ramires. I agree about the receiving end of the DLP as well, I'm covering that in the CAM part of the article. It was supposed to be only one article, but it was becoming way too long, hahahahaha. I think Ramires is really hit or miss with his finishing. When he hits it, it's magnificent, but when he misses is by so much that sometimes it's embarrassing. I still think the second in the "2" is where the DPL fits, it doesn't mean Ramires and/or Lampard has to leave the team, but I think if we have someone playing that role, that's where they should be, with the first in the "2" holding more defensive responsibilities. But overall I think I agree with your points. When I finish the second part we talk about the receiving end of long passes

@Hutcho it's working for me just fine @DJames as it shouldn't!!!!

I see part of the fun was pretending it was camping That's great you had a good time sweetie!

Not many would question that Chelsea's strongest section in the 2012/13 season had been the midfield. But how did Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Mata and Hazard work the midfield? How did they move? Where did they predominantly play? What made Chelsea's midfield so good and what are the prospects for the new season under José Mourinho's management? The team has played the preferred formation in football these days: 4-2-3-1. In the formation Lampard and Ramires for most matches were the 2 defensive midfielders whereas Oscar, Mata and Hazard were the 3 playing more advanced. Although that's the premise in most matches these players have been used in different positions, for example, Ramires playing as right winger in a few matches. In the pictures below the blue/green areas correspond to movement, where the player positioned himself when he didn't have the ball. The yellow is there they ‘touched’ the ball – intercepting, tacking or promptly passing it - and the red is where they held possession and carried the play. The images were provided by Mauro Cézar Pereira's twitter using a tool developed by ESPN and correspond to the whole season. Let's take a look at what happened and what are the strengths and weaknesses of such a talented midfield. As aforementioned, Ramires for times played as a right winger, but mainly he's been a box to box midfielder as the graphic shows. If we merge his graphic with Lampard's we'll see they filled the pitch's center zone, stepping a little bit to the left (Lampard) and to the right (Ramires), but never really dropping to the flanks - that were populated by the three attacking midfielders mostly. Ramires (first in the '2')

that sucks honestly. In that way, yeah, there's internet all over Brazil. really sorry to know it, dear
