Oh yeah, Mourinho has a good team so it's that which makes him appear to be a good tactician. :rolleyes:



I've seen people say "I hope football wins" when supporting this Barça side. Disgraceful.
Nothing disgraceful in hoping football would win;

All Mourinho teams are anti-football and -I use these words after great thought- cheats. His philosophy is to win at any cost, and so are his players (I thought Eto'o looked unhappy).

If he ever became coach at Juve, I think I would stop watching them until he left.

His anti-football attitude wasn't really present at the first leg. His team went for the win and could have possibly got a fourth goal if they took their easy chances. I don't see much wrong in doing the business at home and shutting up in the away fixture when you have a nice advantage, but 10 men (which influenced the rest of the game quite significantly).

If he ever became coach at Juve, I think I would stop watching them until he left.
I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum to you then, Mourinho would be my first choice for Juve if I could take anyone on Earth.

Watching a team "Shutting up" can be wonderful to watch, when done with skill. Last night was an example of play acting, and wasting time. Maicon went down as if he had broken his collar bone, only to play rest of the game unhindered. Those tactics can only come from the coach telling the players to "Do whatever it takes."

Disgusting coach, disgusting team, disgusting players.

And I would say the same if it were a Juve team. If you want to watch that kind of football in Turino then good luck to you: I don't.

Maybe that's what's meant by "more than a fucking club", they are football itself. Fucking cunt team along with their fanboys.
Not words that I would use, but I agree.

The way I saw it, both teams did what it took. And both teams were their disgusting self.

Based on both legs, Inter were the superior team imo, even though Barca have superior individual players.

Special mention to Lucio as well. I never thought he was this good & disciplined. The change of scenery must have done him good.

Lucio must mean Sake of potatoes, because that is how he fell every time a player came near him, rolling around as those in agony. Vile.

And how can they allow Mourinho to run up to the ref to have a word with him:

Mourinho is an enemy of football.

Yet for all the falling & rolling around Inter was guilty of (which was a lot), the turning point of the game was (or should have been) when Barca were doing it, resulting in Motta's early shower.

It really goes both ways.

And as disgusting as it may be, I think every team would have played like this away to Barca. It just happens to be Inter this time, a team most of us can't stand to begin with, so there's a tendency to amplify & exaggerate.

I disagree. it takes a special type of team, coach and player to cheat like that.
I'll say it again, great defence can be wonderful to watch, but that last night was disgraceful.

It's illogical. So they should've played an open game? They shouldve played Barca's game and lose? Does not make sense.

And for the so-called football "purists". This is football as well. If you think Barca's football is the only football, watch some youtube circus tricks.

Edit: The sprinklers were brilliant though :lol:

Let's be clear, this Barcelona team play beautiful football but they are angels with dirty faces, they will do anything to win as well, and we have seen that on more than one occasion.

I think any team will do what it takes to win. Angel or not. Portraying Barca as saints all the time is not right. Even saints arent that angelic at times.

You have missed the point, as far as I can see no one is suggesting that Inter should have played an open game, but defensive football and cheating are not synonymous. Barca had cheats too, and in Biscuit a huge one worthy of Inter-although the player would have been off anyway (rightly so/second yellow) without his ridiculous play-acting.

To fain injuries and unfairly time waste to the extent Inter take it to is repulsive.

It is time to have an independent time keeper. who stops the clock whenever there is a goal, and when a player is injured resulting in a stoppage of play.

    Not so much. Really, THIS Barcelona doesn't play the same football that brought them so many fans last year.
    There are three important differences compared to last year:

    1. Eto'o - Zlatan.
    2. Iniesta - Busquets
    3. Henry - Pedro

    Maybe some will disagree about #3 because Pedro is having a very good season, but still in the important matches, and in order to play a better football, i'll have last year's Henry 10 times out of 10 ahead of Pedro.

    Really, if you think about it you'll see that Barca's best matches this year were actually a Messi one man show.

    How can you call Inter cheats (which they are) when the whole match turned on a Razzy winning performance by Biscuits? WTF? Both team did what they needed to, in the end only one could prevail. So if Inter are cheats, so are the gods of football, Barcelona.

    For the record, I had nothing against Barcelona till yesterdays match. Disgusting play acting, skin on the pitch (again WTF?) and all that bullshit about being more than a club. They are now on my hate list. Second after Inter.

    The player wasn't gonna be sent off if Busquets wasn't acting.

    Because that touch with Motta's fingers was so light that Busquets could have easily stayed on his feet and no-one would have even known that there was any sort of foul. Busquets acted twice. Once when he fell on the ground and the second one is that, now very famous, gif.

    But Busquets did what he was told to do, some other Barca players who fell in Inter's box trying to cheat for a penalty did what they were told to do and some Inter players did what they were told to do.
