Christianity EtcRe: Why Did Jesus Made This Statement On The Cross? by jamescross: 11:13am On Feb 19, 2018
OnyeOGA:
My fellow Christians, why did this Jesus made this statement on the cross:
"...My God, my God, why did you abandon me?"- Gospel according to St. Mark 15vs34.
Does it mean that His Father abandoned him or what?
Please help. undecided
Jesus took our sins, had our sins. when adam had sin God threw him out of eden. God did not spare Jesus death, for the wages of sin is death.

Jesus had to face death alone, believing God will raise him up again. Jesus had such faith in God, like (e.g) Abraham and Isaac did.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2283669-breaking-down-how-luis-enrique-has-changed-barcelona-tactically

[i]New manager Luis Enrique may not have the club exactly where he wants it to be at this point, but he has been working. The tactics at the Camp Nou have begun to change, and in some ways it is already paying off in a big way.
Granted, Barcelona’s style of football will never truly disappear, but Enrique has been right to make a few necessary alterations to a game plan that opponents have had figured out for a few years now.
Just how has Enrique changed Barcelona tactically? Let’s break it down.

Defensive Changes
As should be the case, Enrique’s biggest tactical changes have come on the defensive end of the ball. Though the back line is still having a lot of the same problems as the last few seasons, there has been a bit of improvement.
To begin with, this season has seen the Blaugrana full-backs do a much better job of timing their forward runs.
In seasons gone by, Dani Alves and Jordi Alba would both launch into attack at the same time and leave the back line absolutely unguarded. This led to countless counterattacks, which did Barcelona in a plenty of occasions.
This year, those runs may still be present, but there is a lot more planning behind them. Rarely will you see both full-backs up in attack at the same time, and that alone has given the defense more help when matched up against fast opposing forwards.
There are still the moments of weakness where the full-backs do get caught out of position, but it is clear that Enrique has emphasized timing the forward runs in order to ensure that the back line is not left exposed.

Additionally, Enrique has changed Barcelona’s zonal marking style of set piece defending for one that focuses on man defending. This ensures that every attack is marked rather than a zone, and the change has already paid off.
According to Squawka.com , Barcelona has only conceded two headed goals in all competitions this season, which seems unreal based on the last few campaigns.
Despite the alterations, the defense is still struggling with individual errors and marking counterattacks. The back line has a long way to go before they can be truly relied upon, but it is hard to doubt that Lucho hasn't brought some much-needed adjustments with his return to the Camp Nou.

Midfield Changes

Barcelona’s midfield unit has been relatively untouched for well over five years now. The trio of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets has been immensely successful together, and changing that can almost be seen as blasphemy in Catalonia.
However, with age playing a factor, Enrique needed to touch up the middle of the park for the Catalan giants this season.
The first change that was initially made was focusing on more direct attacking. The days of endless and pointless passing behind the forwards are nearly gone as the midfield is now looking to attack quicker than this squad ever has.
Busquets and Xavi can be seen making more decisive passes than ever to set up their teammates in attack, while Iniesta has become even more dangerous with the ball at his feet.
But the Barcelona midfield trio has gone under some rebuilding as well. All three of the stars have played less minutes to this point than in previous years, and while that can somewhat be linked to injuries, the biggest reason is the presence of other talented players in the middle of the park.

it is also the board that replaced Fabregas with rakitic right!? undecided well done
next time before you go around insulting people make sure you have sense.


Ivan Rakitic has already seen plenty of playing time and has even changed the midfield dynamic. His ability to be a scoring threat on his own has revamped the midfield attack, while his ability to drop deep and defend has given the Barcelona back line more coverage than they have normally been afforded in recent years.

However, the biggest change of all in the middle of park is the fact that there has been a revitalized focus on defending.
Xavi and Iniesta have never been defensive players. They have had a few big moments in defense, but Barcelona has never been able to rely on them to consistently give the back line coverage unless the entire team was pressing as a unit.
With Rakitic and Rafinha seeing more time, Busquets now has help in front of the defense, and it is helping the back line become more solid. In truth, their ability to play as box-to-box midfielders has given Barcelona vastly more diversity, and the club is all the better because of it.
Mix in more direct attacking with a commitment to defending, and the Barcelona midfield is looking strong. There could, of course, be much more improvement, but the tactics are looking up.

I am replying you, because at first I didn't release it was you responding to me like a fool, I was just going to ignore the ignorant toddler that sent such trash like I did 1 dumb erudite that cannot count but it you, awhole you falling your hand like a fool. it's either tour account has been hacked or you were just been emotionally about the matter

even the nonsense assumption you made about attacking I will just leave it, before I make this thing too long.

for the sake of Madrid fans and my strong dislike for Barca BS especially you numb short term memory fans

http://www.soccerinfomania.com/samuel-umtiti-picks-difference-luis-enrique-ernesto-valverde/19541/

In just two years at Barcelona Samuel Umtiti has worked with two different manager; Luis Enrique and Ernesto Valverde.
Luis Enrique played a key role in his arrival in 2016 from Lyon, and Valverde now enjoys his astonishing defensive attributes.
