Too cursed

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Thinking about it, Del Bosque is the best manager in today's game with almost no flaw. He has won everything at club and international level. He isn't involved with controversy, unfairly sacked by Real 10-15 years ago. The only tarnish is the 5-1 defeat to Netherlands but with Robben having the game of his life, RVP scoring one of the best goal of his career and every manager is allowed one of those day at least once.

Nah...too bitter

Mind games. Everything is an act with this man.

Too much of a choker lost at least 4 finals if my memory is not wrong.

Benfica curse. His royal awesomeness has nothing to with that.

Del Bosque's main flaw is loyalty.

How he continued to pick Casillas is beyond me, when De Gea/Diego Lolez were their better GKs. Insistance on picking the likes of Xavi and Iniesta, who were in poor throughout the 2013/2014 season, instead of the likes of Silva, Koke, Cazorla.

He let personal friendships get in the way of his selection and it costed him.

Now thats not to say he's not a terrific manager, but we were picking at managers faults right?

No manager is good enough

Del Bosques last club job was an epic fail at Besiktas which saw him sacked within a year.

Further more he's been out of club management for ten years, that's a hell of a long time.

Hiddink guys, Hiddink...

[Jase 43,479]

Nah...too bitter

How can one not love the exotic version of Neil Warnock?!

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Hiddink guys, Hiddink...

Nope lost it now I think, Turkey then Dutch which he came within 1 match of being sacked/resigned. 2009 seems light years away for him now.

[Adnane 1,101]

Sure, but if i have to choose the most appropriate manager for Chelsea aside from José, it'd definitely be him.

Jose to me can't be the perfect manager. Jose is a manager that only cares about results. Not long term progression nor youth team acclimation.

Don't know who the best manager currently is, but one quote from Thierry Henry is the reason why I can never accept Jose as the best manager.

Barça have an identity. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard from a coach was Guardiola’s talk before the 2009 Champions League final. He said: “Guys, all I want is that, at the end of the game, people tell me that Barça played football. The only thing I don’t want us to lose tonight is our identity. Have a good game.” And that was that.

Identity is not to follow the fashions that other impose you, it is being faithful to your beliefs although the rest goes down against you.

Nuno, coach of ValenciaFC: "Barça of Guardiola has been bad for football. It is a pleasure to watch them play, but today it has created a trend that's only that is football and isn't true"

I fully agree with this guy, also this topic already bored.

the perfect manager is one that adapts to situations .. and that's just the technical side of things

[supporter 3,088]

The alleged identity of Barcelona is a lie. A joke. Seriously, I live in Spain, and I know perfectly the history of Barcelona and their identity. Is completely FALSE.

The Identity of Barca's just one person, Pep Guardiola. Before coming to Barcelona Guardiola used them only Puyol and Xavi Hernandez as indisputable players in the starting eleven (Messi was beginning even was a substitute in the Champions League final against Arsenal in 2006). Valdes had many problems adjusting for non-sporting reasons and Iniesta not started playing in the starting eleven of Barcelona until I Guardiola (before playing Deco and Xavi always).

It's all a fantasy story they have created from Barcelona. Puyol came to Barcelona 18/19 years old. They talk about players own manufacture in La Masia, but it is false. Barcelona banned from La Masia to Fabregas and Pique (And they were very close to expel Messi also the same year).

The Philosophy of Identity Barcelona Barcelona and is a lie. Guardiola until he get none of that existed. They say it was Johan Cruyff in 1988. CHEAP PHILOSOPHY.

Before the arrival of Guardiola them sign very many Dutch players for big money (Kluivert, Overmars ...) and expelled the players from La Masia.

Guardiola was lucky that Luis Aragones (coach of Spain at Euro 2008, The authentic creator of "Tiki-Taka") change the gameplay of Spain and began to use what in Spain called "Tiki-Taka" with a style of game that revolved around Xavi - Iniesta - Fabregas - Silva. That changed the Spanish football and Barcelona took advantage of that change Luis Aragones and Guardiola began using "Tiki-Taka" in Barcelona.

That is the history of Barcelona and his identity

Only cheap philosophy

Trophies>Identity

And what the fuck is "played football" ?

Only Henry, Guardiola and his troop of Cheap Philosophers are the only ones able to say what the fuck is "played football" ?

Jose Mourinho "BIG BALLS"

Identity lolol! Then Wenger wins hands down! His identity is: Kids kids, pass pass, fourth fourth, failure failure.
