Yeah i know, Mazinho was playing for Lecce at the time. His father is from my generation of players, i knew him well. Both his parents are Brazilian and so is he brother.

Racially (If there's such a thing) he's Brazilian, he grew up in both Brazil and Spain but spent more time in the latter. So culturally he's more Spanish, i guess. Even though i think there's nothing Italian in him... He could've played for any of the 3 nations, him and Rodrigo (their Cousin who plays for Benfica who's also Brazilian) chose Spain. His brother chose Brazil though. We got the least talented one it seems.

Rafinha has actually been one of the best midfielders in La Liga this season

[h=1]'Bayern will be unwatchable like Barcelona' - Beckenbauer

The former west Germany captain and coach has slammed the Bavarians' passing game, urging them to go for the jugular more often in matches
[/h] Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer has slammed coach Pep Guardiola's tactics, saying the team will end up becoming "unwatchable like Bacelona."

The Bavarians remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga under the Spaniard and have a place in the last eight of the Champions League and the semi-final of the DFB-Pokal to look forward to.

However, the former West Germany international believes their style of play has gone backwards since the former Barca coach took over.

"In the end, we'll be unwatchable like Barca. They'll be passing it backwards on the goal-line," he told Sky.

"[My vision] is different. If I have the chance to shoot from distance, especially in front of a crowded defence, I'd take it. It's the most efficient way."

Meanwhile, Beckenbauer also claimed that the outlook looks bleak for Bayern president Uli Hoeness, who is currently in court in a tax evasion case.

"At the moment, it's not looking quite as good for Uli, but I haven't seen his defence yet. The prosecution have made their case, now the defence has to clarify these points.

"I wish him all the happiness."

Hoeness and Beckenbauer were team-mates at both international and club level, winning the 1974 World Cup and three straight European Cups together.

true. this style Guardiola invented is the most boring thing football ever had

They are on the right path to become new barca. Players already mastered diving all over the field.

 

[JuveJay]

German football was always very underrated when it comes to diving.

 

[zizinho]

i like Bayern alot but they are starting to get on my nerves. if this keeps up I might start to hate them...

Seriously, I wish more people would rate the Bundesliga when it comes to dives. I think Arsene Wenger is onto something.

 

[rakib567]

I recon Bayern could become better than barca. they have passing skill and flair as the old barca but they have physicality as well.

 

[JuveJay]

They also have more depth, but less star quality (Messi & Iniesta).

Ribery is better than Iniesta, and Götze can come really close to Messi.

wat??

 

[Cheesio]

Ribery is better than Iniesta, and Götze can come really close to Messi.

No and No, Iniesta at his best was better than Ribery ever was and Messi and Gotze that's not even close.

 

[JuveJay]

Ribery is better than Iniesta, and Götze can come really close to Messi.

I really doubt both.

Klinsman is father of modern diving

 

[zizinho]

I really doubt both.

lets give Gotze some time, you never know. Messi was predicted to have a great career but no-one ever could imagine that he would become this good.

I'm a big diver!

 

[JCK]

My respect to the Kaizer has increased drastically.

And some people keep on defending the barca style

Beckenbauer:

"In the end, we'll be unwatchable like Barca.

Nuf said.
That fcker, Pep, sucked the soul out of that magnificent Bayern of last year.
I hope they draw with Carlo's Real or Mou's Chelsea and get their ass kicked.
