    Tonight match is very interesting ...far more than yesterdays

    i love a coach who made great teams and won everything ...and Mou is one . Of course i prefer Guardiola s philosophy but this is football and i love when someone works good and in that group is Mou

    of course that Mou generates the discucion between what do yuo prefer . Playing nice or wining . and that is a loooonnngggg discussion

    btw ...where is Ronnie ?? is there a new tour with Bruce and Pearl Jam playing together on stage and it wasn t announce ???

    I really dislike Mourinho, not just because of his philosophy but mainly because his apperances in the media.

    And ofcourse he prefers winning, but there are a lot of ways too win. The only way he ever tried is putting 10 players around his own box.
  2. Mourinho football > Guardiola football

    All Madrid final I predict.

  3. No, no, no.

    However this match was also boring as hell haha. I prefered Bayern last year to this team. More direct, faster style. I'm not a big fan of Guardiola either btw.
  4. So glad Januzaj chose Belgium.
  5. Let it be said, I'm not a massive fan of Mourinho's approach either.
  6. A few comments on the BBC live text earlier from viewers that were published throughout the match:

    "Pep Guardiola's teams are so boring to watch. It's painful."

    "I prefer Jupp Heynckes' Bayern Munich."

    "Arjen Robben looks like the only Bayern player interested in putting the ball in the back of the net. The rest are happy to play football passing drills like it's a Sunday morning."

    "Mourinho and Guardiola - two men determine to suck the life out of football in their own special ways"

    "Further proof Guardiola has weakened Bayern. His style has lost them their cutting edge - and made them so open at the back."

    "Possession without goals v parking the bus."

    "Dislike Chelsea and Tuesday's semi-final was dull. But to be fair to them Bayern are just as dull with how they play."

    I agree. I've never really enjoyed a Guardiola team.
  7. I agree that they sometimes elaborate so much that they slowly become boring, but that kind of football will ALWAYS win to the "parked bus" approach in my book. Always.

    PS. Or any other rugby-oriented approach fwiw
  8. I see no difference between sitting in your own half suffocating the opposition and sitting in the opposition half suffocating them.


  9. Mou read his players and his opponents and consequently set the matches > Guardiola doesn't
    Mou read the match and knows how to make changes on the run > Guardiola doesn't
    Mou read the global context of a match > Guardiola doesn't
    Mou doesn't have always the best team around, winning as well > Guardiola always
    Mou has n way skills > Guardiola 1
    Mou knows that football has 2 phases > Guardiola doesn't
    Mou character > Guardiola character, boring as his football
    Mou ... > Guardiola ...

    Pato unluckily only Bruce is around and across the ocean but he >>> Guardiola hehehe

    True, like I said last years Bayern was more fun to see. In his Barca period they has some more pace and tempo in their game, back than it was really nice to watch.

    But at their game yesterday I do enjoy their position play but it's too much, not enough real danger towards the goal.
