A famous chemist was found dead in his laboratory.

There was nothing around him except a paper with the names of chemical substances:

Carbon
Oxygen
Nickel
Lanthanum
Sulfur


On the day he was murdered, the chemist only had 3 visitors: his wife Mary, his nephew Nicolas, and his friend Jonathan.

The police arrested the murderer right away.




How did they know who killed him?

His nephew Nicolas.. he left a paper containing chemical substances...his alphabetical name stand for each chemical substance.
N... Nickel
I....
C.... Carbon
O..... Oxygen
L..... Lathanum
A.....
S.... sulfur

It is supposed to be an individual award and individually Messi was clearly better than Ronaldo Last Season (Sentiments Aside). Because Madrid had a better season doesnt mean Ronaldo should win it.

Please do not quote me if you dont have a sensible and non-sentimental contribution to make. Thank You.

Men should be more concerned on who they will marry than what they'll be. because, no matter who you become, marrying the wrong person can render your whole life and efforts worthless.
Always choose wisely.

As a student of the likes of Van Gaal, Johan Cruyff and Marcelo Bielsa, Pep Guardiola was fortunate enough to learn and study the ideas of great football visionaries.

His mentor Johan Cruyff, thought him so much about tactics. Cruyff was the brain behind possession based football.

Countless times, Pep doesn't forget to acknowledge Johan Cruyff as the man who made him who he is today.

Pep insisted his remarkable success in the Barcelona dugout was not comparable to the achievements of Cruyff's Dream Team.

"They were pioneers and we cannot compete with that no matter how many trophies we win," he said in 2011.
''We will never equal the period of the Dream Team as they were the first to break up the long period without success.

Cruyff built the ''Dream Team." A team that would keep the ball and dominate the game. Pep Guardiola was the midfield anchor man in that team. And they dominated teams playing wonderful football.

But they were not as good as Guardiola's Barcelona. Neither did they play the same way. They kept possession, but in a different way.

There are different ways teams keep possession. Some keep possession with little or no penetration. Like Liverpool and Arsenal. But Barcelona kept possession as a form of defence and attack.

As a tactic for defence: Depriving the opponent of the ball makes it difficult for them to create chances and score.

As a tactic for attack: Keeping the ball for long periods of time weakens and frustrates the opponent, thereby taking them out of position on the field of play.

No team has ever and will ever play the kind of football Barcelona played under Pep.

Not even the great Cruyff's dream team of 1988 which featured great players like Romario, Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, Pep Guardiola...

Not even Louis Van Gaal's 1995 Ajax team with players such as Van der Sar, Frank Rijkaard, Frank de Boer, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids and our very own Finidi George and Nwankwo Kanu.

Not even the Real Madrid team of the late 50's who dominated world football with players like Alfredo Di Stéfano and Ferenc Puskas...

Not even the great Arrigo Sacchi's Ac Milan team of 1988 which included the likes of Paolo Maldini, Marco Van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, and Franco Baresi...

All these teams had great players, played great football and won lots of trophies, but Pep's Barcelona won it all in style.

As Guardiola humbly and rightly said, Johan Cruyff was the pioneer, he was the initiator, the teacher, but Guardiola as a clever student, learnt his masters trade and bettered it.

I admire your knowledge of history in football, and that's why I made out time to reply you.

As for the people who say Pep inherited a good team at Barcelona and that's why he won, I don't bother replying them, because they know nothing about HISTORY.

Have a wonderful night rest!

first time i met a Barcelona fans with total knowledge of football history.. i always admire those who not only know much about their team but also know more about others team. i wasn't surprised by your references to Madrid of 1950, Van Gaal of 1995 and Sachhi of 1988...however, am seeing dis Zidane of Madrid to supercede Guardiola of Barcelona in next two years if not in style of play but numbers of trophies unless Barcelona act in soonest. Barcelona's problem had given a sign when Xavi (midfielder Maestro) left the club but magical Messi, Skillful Neymar nd rugged Suarez would not let the problem surfaced. if there is no total restructuring in Barca's board in soonest, i see Madrid dominating Spanish nd European Football. this is the time when Messi should be given rest at times but the Board had forgotten LA Masia Academy where Messi's loyalist heir would have been easily recruited.. because to me, Neymar is not loyal to Barcelona though he has his own ambition which i respect..am Real Madrid fans... but i respect Xavi so much. the dude was made from d middle of the sand. he is a complete midfielder.

Lol. Naysayers again. Guardiola average? Lol. There is nothing I will not read on this forum o.

Rijkaard 2007 first 11 consisted of:

VALDES

MARQUEZ >> PUYOL >> OLEGUER >> VAN BRONCKHORST

EDMILSON >> DECO >> VAN BOMMEL

GUILY >> ETO'O >> RONALDINHO.


Rijkaard ended the 2007 season trophyless. Leaving Barcelona with too many old guards and an underperforming team.


Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola in 2006, won promotion for Barca B in his debut season as their coach playing wonderful, scintillating, possession based football which was later nicknamed tiki taka.


That made the Barcelona board to appoint him even though he was unproven at that point at the big stage. They saw the way the B team played. They wanted him to deploy same tactics to the senior team.


On his first day, Guardiola said: “These three (Ronaldinho, Deco and Samuel
Eto’o) are not in my mind for the future, we will be going forward without
them.

Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Gio dos Santos, Ezquerro, Crosas, Oleguer and Zambrotta were all shipped out. That is almost all of Rijkaard's first 11. Except just goalkeeper Valdes and Puyol.

Just look up the names in Rijkaard's first team players. Did Pep use any of them? He showed them the door. Total overhauling, without breaking the bank on new players. He promoted several fringe players to the first 11 from the La Masia academy and made them play the greatest football ever seen.

Pep Guardiola built the greatest Barcelona team with which he won all the trophies contested for from the scratch. They played the kind of football never seen before in the history of the round leather game.

Pep Guardiola first 11 in 2012 were all from the Barcelona La Masia academy.

Victor Valdes >> Martin Montoya, >> Carles Puyol, >> Gerard Pique >> Jordi Alba, >> Xavi, >> Sergio Busquets >> Andres Iniesta, Pedro, >> Lionel Messi >> Cesc Fabregas.

That is why he is regarded as a GENIUS by people who know his history.

How then can you say such a man is OVERRATED??

How can you say he won because RIJKAARD laid the blueprint?

How?? What blueprint??

Think again bro.

i agree with you to the extent that Pep Guardiola established nd made his own team. however, thinking that Guardiola was d one that introduced tiki taka style of football was wrong. Tiki taka was mainly nd genuinely introduced by Barca legend Johan Cruyff doing his era as coach to Barcelona. he used the likes of Guardiola, Ronald Koeman, Michael Laudrup, Stokoihvic and a likes to introduce what is known today as Tiki Taka. he was d first coach to win Uefa Champions League for Barcelona in 1992.

Who is Neymar? Barca was a top class football club before Neymar joined the team and still is. Will still finish tops at the end of the league.

u forget that before the arrival of Neymar, Xavi and Iniesta would hold a possession for 20 minutes alone in the midfield area... No more Xavi... Iniesta is aging. Barcelona need complete restructuring nw. Neymar's was not only d problem.. if you could still remember how Kovacic dribbles Busquent... how Modric was cycling d area..i only see Barcelona winning Copa Del Rey alone dis season.

Neymargate: what should be the decision of potential world best player. is it needed for him to av his own team before he would be crowned world best. it's certain that Neymar is strongly considering moving to PSG. Ronaldo is Madrid..while Messi has Barca. Neymar wants to have his own team.. he doesn't want to live in the shadow of Messi any longer. football fans nd Barca fans particularly should say their opinion and advice.

death should be better than embarrassments

some dudes will say women like comfortability.. but i only ask them dis question "don't you ever imagine goin out with bae sitting in front of your car"
