a long journey from Europe to Sydney..the #Barca #book is finally in my hands.. (Taken with instagram)
Well we lost..3 times in a row and in big matches of the season..it must be really hard for them right now but they have to face it.
I’m sad and all cules must be sad too..and it’s time for us to stand by them and support them..
They fought and fought but It just wasn’t meant to be..it’s no one’s fault..
I really really hope Pep will renew soon..
Actually I’m running out of words right now..
I just wanna say that I love this team..I am still proud of them despite the losses..
There’s always next time and they will be back..
And they also still have cup final to focus on..
So Visca el Barca!! Night Cules..
Reading Barca: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World by Graham Hunter (illustration by Dan Leydon)
I’m on chapter 4: The Machine..a chapter about Xavi..
So far I really enjoy this book especially as a Barca fan..
It gives an insight to things that I hadn’t known before about Barca..
Xavi Hernandez claimed his 19th title as Barça player after winning FIFA Club World Cup 2011 and therefore, he is being the player with the most titles won.
These are the titles won by Xavi: 6 Ligas, 3 Champions Leagues, 1 King’s Cup, 2 European Super Cups, 5 Spanish Super Cups and 2 Club World Cups.
Congratz Team for the hardwork and for the amazing football u are playing..
let’s all celebrate this Cules..VISCA EL BARCA!!!!!!! They are the best team in the world ^^
couldn’t feel happy that Barca is going to CWC final..
well I’m glad that they win of course..
but it’s just that the news about Villa is really sad and it took away all my excitement..I don’t even care if they win anymore by that point..
that’s a bad injury and we all know it and we all can see it..
it’s bad break T-T
gosh I wish nothing but for his quick recovery..
I can’t even describe my feeling right now..
Get well soon Guaje..we’ll all be waiting for you to come back and play again..
Such an awesome (completely unbiased) article that makes me proud to be a Culé and reminds me why Barca is the best team in the world.
When people talk of bravery in football, they tend to conjure up Terry Butcher’s bandage. The image of bravery is of the hardnut centre-back flying into lunatic challenges. But it’s tempting to conclude that that’s not brave at all – surely kicking people is the opposite – and even if it is, there’s another type of bravery. The player who keeps his head when all around others are losing theirs, who stays strong after a mistake, who overcomes the pressure. A brave player is the one who loses the ball three times and still wants it; who keeps attacking. The goalkeeper who makes the biggest mistake on earth – and doesn’t take the easy, if short term, way out. The team that have the courage of their convictions.
Few teams’ convictions are as strong as this team’s. Barcelona did what Barcelona do, and that includes Valdés. According to the statistical geniuses at Opta Spain, this season only two teams have passed the ball back to the goalkeeper more and Valdés has been given the ball almost 50 times more than Iker Casillas. For most teams, a back pass is a last resort, a release – a panicked prelude to a punt. For Barcelona it is different. Valdés is a player, let him play. His passing accuracy, at 85%, is easily the best in the league – not least because he actually passes it. He attempts fewer long ‘passes’ (over 35 yards) than anyone, at only 29%. Casillas is the nearest at 43.3% and only three goalkeepers are even under 50%.
So Valdés passed the ball. And so did Barcelona. Even as Madrid pressured high, Barcelona continued to take risks – not taking them is riskier yet; for Barça, a big hoof just means the ball comes back again, at the opposition’s feet – and bit by bit they got into the game.
