Hi everyone,

The last few days have been very emotional. The week with both Cups is over and it’s been very positive for us. We started with a defeat that ended our streak of undefeated games, although we were able to eliminate Hull and make it to the EFL Cup final. The game was really tough. They played in front of their fans and showed their desire to be in the final, scoring first and putting a lot of pressure on us, but thanks to Paul’s goal we sealed the passport to Wembley’s final, and the team is very much looking forward to it.

It was odd, because it wasn’t a good game, yet we managed to succeed in our goal: we will go back to Wembley by the end of February. I’ve never been able to win this competition in my previous years in England, so I can’t be more motivated. I’ve been hoping to play this final for a very long time! It’s going to be against Southampton, a difficult rival where my good friend Oriol Romeu is playing (and really good, by the way). It’s just great having the chance to win the second title of the season. We won the first one last summer and now we are hoping to keep lifting trophies and dedicate them to our fans. It would be a big boost of confidence ahead of the last spell of the season, but as I said, if you look at Southampton’s performance against Liverpool in the semi-finals, you know it’s going to be tough.

This past Sunday we played against Wigan in the FA Cup, where we are the defending champions. The game was more complicated than the 4-0 might say. The score wasn’t too fair with them, because they made things very difficult for us in the first half, playing with a compact defence and showing good skills with the ball possession. However, in the second half we were more accurate and we could win the game in a competition that I do love, as you know. I’m sure this will be an unforgettable day for Joel ‘The Cat’ Pereira and for Axel. I hope it’s going to be the first of many special days for both of them in our club.

Hugs,

Juan

Did CFC buy fab to come play the pivot role?

You gonna need to engage Eph not me!

eph12:
Really? So who is preventing Fab from playing?

Perhaps Willian or Hazard! You've cornered him closely, and there is no escaping Route for him!

eph12:
When it is some others, the excuse is that they are young and have won 4 leagues and been nominated for world best and they are for the future. But when it comes to others like Martial, forgetting that they are younger with no support from the full backs, they come hard on them. You guys should just continue o but remember daris godu o

Even Ronaldo is happier playing with Marcelo than any other full back

You ain't getting it Eph! No one is saying JM was right for criticizing his Inconsistency, rather for his own good, he needs to let-go of whatever holding him down and up his Game!

This is simply for his own good! He's very talented, hence he needs to be consistent to probably reach the level of Ronaldo and Messi in the Future!

Funlordjnr:
Exactly the same 2 things I posted here I think 2 days or so ago....consistency and his boning attitude! Or na us say make the wife catch am dey lash other sluts?
