Closed Galatasaray v Chelsea

[Special Juan 27,421]

Massive respect to the mods on here today, fair play to you for mopping up and ridding these people of a very good forum.

Quite fast? Maybe for the Turkish league, but compared to the likes of Ramires, Hazard, Willian...etc. your players are quite slow. I don't mean this as intimidation or mind game or disrespect, but as far as I'm concerned, Galatasaray are the worst team left in the CL. I'm quite happy that we got you in the draw.

I think you're not aware of our capabilities and our squad.

Our new system is a 2-3-2-3 by Mancini.

On the field it looks like this.

--------------Drogba------------

---Sneijder------------Burak----

------Melo-------Selcuk-------

Telles------Ceyhun-----Eboué

-----Hakan-------Semih------

--------Nando Muslera-------

Hakan used to play as a left back, but now plays as a center defender. He and Semih are quite fast for being CBs. Ceyhun is really slow , but he is not really involved in our attacks. Telles is quite fast, so is Eboué.

They are our wings and they play as Left/Right Wing Backs. Melo is quite fast, Selcuk is rather slow. And so is Selcuk's playing style. He slows down the pace of the game.

I don't have to tell anything about our striking force of Şino (Sneijder), Kral (Burak) and Drogba. You should know them

In our domestic league, the teams rather play defensive against us and play a counterattacking football. This is not the same in the UCL. If you wanna see the pace of our players, and the pace of our game, I recommend you to watch our 3-1 victory against FC Copenhagen in the UCL.

Of course it is hard to handle with fast and skillful players like Hazard, Willian, Eto'o. But if Mancini prepares our defenders well about the movements of the Chelsea attackers, I'm not even 1% concerned about that.

Do you really think we are the worst team in the last 16 of the UCL ?

I could name you 5 teams we are better than atm: Olympiacos, Zenit, Schalke, Leverkusen, Milan.

And I'm sure our capabilities are enough to kick Chelsea out of the competition.

Latin America absolutely has the best football supporters in the world, the games are a party. Brazil can be somewhat violent as we seen in that head-stomping episode a while back. San Lorenzo is especially my favorite, European football supporters could learn a thing or two from them and the other festive teams like River and Boca.

About 10 years ago Club America came up to San Francisco to play a friendly vs the San Jose Earthquakes. These fans came w/ their banners & made Candlestick Park look like Estadio Azteca Norte. I have seen many matches w/ teams from Latin America (still think that Costa Rican Teams have the best Women) & they always bring their A game. If you get a chance goto a game featuring a team from Latin America. You will be entertained. BTW, I did goto a Deutsche Bundesliga match. I went to a #1FCK Derby (Kasierslautern vs Koln - both clubs are #1FCK). It was very loud & an experience I will never forget. One of the awesome events I have ever witnessed. BTW, FC Kasierslautern won 3-1

You got something brown around your mouth son, wipe it off.

nice to see ake. But why was not kalas in the squad?

isn't he at the 0:22 mark just behind Lamps?

I guess it is. Just after Ake passed through.

Dude, I'm pretty sure, you as an American never have experienced something as crazy as Greek/Turkish atmosphere, if you think a game between the FC Köln and Kaiserslautern is a crazy game.

Btw, that's definitely not a derby. The derbies of 1.FC Köln are against Fortuna Düsseldorf, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen. Not to forget Fortuna Köln (which are in the lower leagues).

Note: I'm from Cologne

I used to go a lot to the stadium in Cologne when I was younger, and to the BayArena (Leverkusen) because of my father's friends.

Be ready, we are talking about the loudest football stadium in the whole fucking world !!!

Where there were a lot of goat supporters at that match & it was a Friday night match I got in trouble during the match cause I was w/ my Father-in-law & he got tickets where the Old People sit. Of course I didn't sit

I am pretty sure i saw Kalas in that video at 0.24 behind Lampard.

[Muzchap 8,966]

yeah, you know your traditions better than i do say hi to your sister for me

I tried - but I don't have one

It's almost the same as your team. We have a CL Trophy... You don't now go drink some Raki - your sister will taste better

P.S. Ouzo tastes so much better

P.P.S Whist this was fun, I'm bored... Good luck in the game - may the best team win

And these are the people who bring this forum down.

I swear I don't get this guy's need to be rude to people so gratuitously... It was a relief not having to read his unnecessary rudeness towards others for five days when he was warned.

It seems he's learned nothing though. It's one of the worst members I came across here. Always taking jabs, being rude, harsh and judgmental. Adding to ignore list for sure.

What a hostile place They all want pictures with our boys.

Better footage than Chelsea TV would ever offer though lol!

[LAB 1,030]

Ok ok we got it. Your stadium is the loudest. Enough already, who the fuck cares? Is this a loud crowd competition? This is football. Our players tend to get really "loud" on the pitch without opening their mouths, just by playing, so watch it!

Let's talk about football please in this topic from now on.
