Regarding the Champions League's matches, i have only to praise my team. 2 games where we absolutely controlled Basel. Sure Based was definitely of the weakest teams that we could had faced at this point, but in recent history we have seen them having great results vs top tiers teams like Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Brahimi, that had been under radar, since he returned from CAN did an amazing performance. Casemiro, who is prolly only of the players that was most criticized by me since the beginning of the season was one of the best yesterday.
Jackson, on the previous game, had to leave the game because of an injury and couldn't play today. One of the players that is recognized as one of the most valuable players on our team, and we didn't even miss it. He will obviously leave on the next market season, but i think with Abouba we will keep having a lot of quality for that position, even though the style of both players is definitely different, and yesterday it was visible with another good performance by Aboubakar. It has been always like that, when he has the chance to play.
Tello has been one of the most decisive players lately, because he has been scoring a lot of goals. I definitely see talent on him, but before this phase of his, he constantly failed on the last decision, either with fail passes or bad executed shots. But lately he has been really consistent and above all showing a lot of efficacy. Scored vs Sporting the Braga last week the winning goal, and the week before he did an hat-trick vs Sporting, a team that wasn't only on the 8th finals of the Champions League because of some terrible performance of a certain referee on the game in Germany when they played Schalke where they were scandally prejudiced.
They were eliminated vs Wolfsburg, but some could say that had they had a bit more luck they would have passed, but they lacked a lot on the finalization specially when they played at their place.
If the Quarter-finals were to happen in a couple of days i wouldn't mind facing Real Madrid, who are playing extremely poor, but i think they will definitely bounce back. Kinda of a shame that Schalke didn't manage to eliminate them
Cassilas once again with the fantastic performances *cof cof But the all team in general is playing extremely poor.
Ancelotti is overhyped in my opinion. How is it possible that in so many years in charge of so many fantastic teams, he only has won the respective national league 4 times? Though is Champions League is indeed quite awesome, this is something that bothers me so much.
bloody hell, whoever bet on that got a huge winning.
