[SPA] La Liga 2007/2008 (11 Viewers)

I agree he does give the occasional magical pass/flick, but a few seasons back, they seemed to happen more regularly. I also think that he has become rather lazy. He hasn't really been helping out with defensive duties much.

Lets not get too personal in these arguments either, we are Juventini and we should unite as one to overpower our opposition :rulz:, not have ongoing grudges against each other.

to be honest he never really did help out with the defensive duties..its just that when he was on form..when he was unplayable people didnt see it as much of an issue.

Either Ronaldinho Or Rijkaard Will Leave – Report

According to Spanish newspaper 'Marca’, either Barcelona Coach Frank Rijkaard or troubled superstar Ronaldinho will soon leave the club.

The Catalan giants have struggled at times this season and despite sitting in second position in La Liga, they are languishing seven points behind bitter rivals and leaders Real Madrid.



There has been talk for sometime in the Spanish press over the future of Ronaldinho and Rijkaard, with the Brazilian regularly linked with a move to AC Milan.



Although Barcelona have frequently denied many of these stories, it seems that following Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to Real Madrid, they are now indeed ready to ditch one of the two.



Ronaldinho and Rijkaard do not have the best of personal relationships, and they were involved in a furious training ground bust-up just last week.



Ronaldinho, who is noticeably heavier, has been left out of the team on a number of occasions this campaign, although he did start the match against Real.



The question of which of the two will leave is up for debate and there is every possibility that both may in fact depart.



Rijkaard has been at Barca since 2003, and is widely expected to move on at the end of the current season anyway, regardless of the team’s success from now until then.

Rijkard is the Boum Boum of the coaches.

So seven points now, elayyan. Prior to page 25 you were sure Barchitlona will win the league. Are you still that sure?

not anymore , i was expecting ronaldinho to get back to his best and since he is not and barca rely totally on messi , if he plays well they win , if he is injured they loose , forget about winning the liga this year too.

Do you think that Rijkaard will leave Barça anytime soon? And do you think that when Ronaldinho leaves, the Barça youth poduct in Bojan and Dos Santos will be able to step up to a new level?

 

[Ascension]

Bojan will step up regardless of Messi and Ronaldinho.

Does anyone know if this info from wikipedia is correct?

Bojan possesses both Spanish and Serbian passports, and so is allowed to choose which country he plays for should he be called up by them.

I mean WTF is Serbia waiting for?

He doesn't want to play for Serbia, actually his father don't allow him. Btw like Krkic himself said he was born in Spain and doesn't know a word of Serbian language.

Funny thing is that I also heard that his mother is against playing for Spain too, I think she's Basque.

 

[V]

Oh, I didn't realise all those facts. How come his father is forbidding him to play for Serbia? I mean career wise, Spain is the smarter move, but is there something more to it?

 

[Kosta]

Macedonia reacted on similar matter , concerning Goran Slavkovski choice of NT, he also have both Swedish and Macedonian passport and he choose Macedonia.

You know how things work on Balkan, especially in Bosnia and Serbia. Also I think that if he choose Serbia than he will be considered as non-eu, and if he is really born in Spain (cuz I'm not sure) than it's totty normal to play Spain, just like Ibra case even he was offered to Bosnian FA.

I have no problem with his choice, I'd probably choose the same if I was him. I was just wondering were there some problems with his old man and the Serbian NT, since he's "forbidding" it to him..

As for him becoming a non-EU, that's not possible since he already has a Spanish passport.

 

[Oggy]

His father is a smart guy cuz he probably don't allow him to be dragged around here and he knows that Spain is the best option for him.

Probably Dule knows more about Bojan issue and he will inform us

His mother is from Catalonia and she said "If my Bojan can't play for Catalonia then he should play for Serbia, where his father's coming from. I think we're close to making such decission"

And about his father, it's really strange. I can't find why he's not letting his son to play for Serbia.

Btw, Krkic finally made his mother's wish come true as he'll take part in a friendly match between Catalonia and Baque

Great defensive display by Real Madrid. I haven´t seen their defense this solid back from Del Bosque days. Indeed, that was the key to victory and it could have been larger if Ruud was more hungry for the goal.

Maher, it is time you accept what was told to you at the beggining of the season. Barcelona is shit, Real Madrid was/is/will be superior and I even like their football more. The title will stay at Madrid.

P.S. Schuster is doing a really good job.

I have no idea
I only know him from the matches Croatia played against Macedonia few years ago where he was really good and i remember his cracker goal to Seaman directly from the corner.
I think he's pretty old now and he may be retired because he didn't play for Macedonia in previous qualifiers.

Here's the goal

@ Seaman

He was never offered to play for the Swedish NT and that would never be the case either because...

really?? i heard that guy was really promising..

he is so lousy he can't even make a starting spot for Inter's primavera.
