New Beginnings ​ 2015 Pre-Season Not much excitement going on in this first pre-season of mine, seeing as we're under a transfer embargo. But some ordinary friendlies before we start with the European Super Cup, followed by the Spanish one. This is what little I got done. Transfers Álex...

F.C. Barcelona - The Easy Way Barcelona have been one of the dominating teams in Europe and Spain over the last decade. With top players in most positions, lots of money, and status enough to be able to get almost any player they could ever want, they are not looking like they'll fall from...

The Beginnings It took some time until I had settled in as everyone knew eachother very well before I got here. I only knewthe players who had recently played in the "B" team and youth system of the club, where I had done some coaching work. But I believe that there is supposed to be some...

It's summer in Barcelona, it's summer but cold. The top sports team in the city, The Blaugrana, have been crowned champions of the league. Still it's cold. They are champions but in the eyes of the world this was a season filled with loss. The loss of Tito Vilanova who retired from the manager...

Isn't it about what year they're born, not their actual age at the start of the game?

When it comes to central midfielders being good defensively as well as with passing, I think Busquets and Xabi Alonso are the two best in the world. I chose Neymar Junior on the left as Messi is better in the middle, and I prefer a strong and skillful player up front. I believe Ribery to be a...

Really understandable that a team like Real Madrid gets boring, one probably has to set up really difficult goals for oneself if you're going to keep being motivated, what with winning almost all games easily. I really enjoy the way you've written the story so far so I'm definitely interested...

PSG is a fun team to play with, plenty of cash, great players but still room to get your own touch on it as they have a rather small squad at the start. The Benders are always great, but you really didn't buy any top players, are the board happy with those transfers? Hope you'll do good...

Manuel Neuer Sergio Ramos - Raphael Varane - Thiago Silva - David Alaba Andres Iniesta - Sergio Busquets Cristiano Ronaldo - Lionel Messi - Neymar Junior Zlatan Ibrahimovic Subs: Gianluigi Buffon, Gerard Pique, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Marek Hamsik, Franck Rib?ry, Marco Reus.

Yeah I understand that, just pointing out that I do not agree. I'm not well versed with how the committee makes their decisions, so I'm just saying what I believe to be more just. It's a terrible tackle, but with less pace he won't reach the ball in time, and the force... well he's a huge boy...

I don't think he should get 10 games for a tackle from behind. It happens pretty often, the biggest difference here being the injury of the victim. A player should NOT get more of a penalty just because the injury is more severe.

My first test in a real competition would come against Stabaek as we fought for a spot in the Europa League. Seeing as some of the new players weren't available yet, they came too late to be registered for this round, I would have to manage with a thin squad. Not to be disrespectful but this...

Good story and you had a rather splendid season, with all said and done, didn't you? Keep up the good work, will be interesting to see what kind of players you'll manage to attract with the Europa League spot for next season.

A New Dawn As Kenny Dalglish leaves the role of Liverpool manager vacant after the teams worst league season in 18 years, owner John W. Henry has announced Tomoya Nagase as the new manager effective immediatly. "With Kenny we wanted to try something that had worked before, a true legend to the...

Earlier today Queens Park Rangers announced the departure of Mark Hughes. As the club and the manager started to disagree on too many things the both parties decided it would be best if another man was hired for the job. That man turned out to be James Dean. An American coach who has only been...
