You wouldn’t say this if you understand what intelligence is

Do you know what it takes to leave a place and move completely to another one?
Moreover, is Barcelona not rich enough also?
What about staying in a rich club for 15years?

Messi still has about 4players since the golden era like you said, how many players does Ronaldo have playing together in the last 4years?

Messi still plays and trains in the same stadium for the past 15years, with the same length and width. Does that apply to a player who has to change to another stadium entirely to play and train?

What about having to play in front of the same fans every year, you know what it takes to change fans of different geographical locations and passions?
Man Utd Fans are different from Real Madrid and likewise Juventus. Italian Fans are different from English and Spaniards.

I advice you try to study up on adaptation and acclimatization and what it takes to do that.

Football playing isn’t all about the physical skills being displayed alone. It has some psychological and mental activities which have great roles to play in what you see on the pitch

It takes nothing.

Except that person has autism.

It is easier to change your club and play with superstar players than remain in your club amd play with crap players.

You have no idea about football.

In football the strength of the team comes before any fantasies about acclamatization, adaptation and all that crap you typed there.

ojaysam25:
And messi was not included in those 33years old that must go abi...Barca needs a Total overhauling just admit it

A 33 year old that just won a Ballon dor at 32 years and 5 months old cannot be in that bracket.

Impossible.

BlueAngel444:
and where should Messi go, isn't it L8 for him to move and isn't barca the top2 team in the world

PSG, Man City, Juventus, Bayern would all scramble to sign him if he indicated interest in leaving.

But Messi would rather sink with Barca.

This is his challenge.
This is challenge.

BlueAngel444:
"spending billions" did Barca not spend 400m on one position, then loan one out, and put two on the bench. Did barca not buy De jong, Pjanic, Suarez etc for tens of millions Barca has bought more "galaticos" than PSG, City and even the famous and marvelous Madrid

I did not say that Barca did not spend.

All I said is that your "comfort zone" can be create in any billion pound club.
Messi can still go to Bayern or Real Madrid and have comfort zone.
Loyalty is the biggest challenge.

No be only Comfort zone na Theresa zone.

haymekus:
Mehn you shouldn’t be coming up with with all these considering the way you kept defending the fact that Vidal should play yesterday and next season

You still don't get it..do you?

You guys kept going on about Vidal like he was the worst thing in our history.

I even said it yesterday though sarcastically, Why not replace Suarez, Alba, Busquets, Vidal and Rakitic and play Bayern with feeders?


But I still tell you this for free?

Before I let Vidal go, I would first let go the following;

1.Suarez
2.Alba
3.Rakitic
4.Busquets

These 4 guys should go before Vidal.

Vidal is not the scapegoat you seek.

pkasso:
In other news, the Barca-Bayern game has been uploaded to Pornhub. 90 minutes of relentless pounding

You go tire.

Maximum 48 hours, you go tire.

BlueAngel444:
honestly staying in one's comfort zone isn't a challenge bro

6yrs, 7yrs is more than enough

What Is comfort zone?

That is a myth.

The only comfort zone in football is being around players who are at your level or almost at your level.

Big billion pound clubs like Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern and PSG can provide "comfort zone" for any professional football player.

Staying loyal to one club.

*Having almost the entire squad come and go.
*Playing with over 50 differnet players.
*Playing under close to 10 coaches.
*Seeing differnet management boards come and go.

That is challenge.

BlueAngel444:
at least two WC signings excuse me, Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann for almost 400m ain't they world class signings. De jong, even Arthur that was dashed out
and you still have WC players in your team right

Dembele, Coutinho, and Griezman were mistakes.
Barcelona still believes completely in little and technical players.

Football has gone beyond that.

BlueAngel444:
Good morning cules the clueless ones.

difference between messi and Ronaldo is when their teams are losing, their body language. One's head will be down the other will be shouting and gingering. That's the difference between a personal who isn't afraid of challenges, and adjusts to different situations. Honestly Messi has always been talented but Ronaldo beats him in mentality and mental aspect. Wont be shocked if Ronaldo makes a better manager than Messi.

Nonsense..

The greatest challenge ever is sticking with this Barcelona team for 15 years.

CuteMercury:
The bitter truth is that the presence of Lionel Messi is hurting Barcelona. IT is time for this marriage to break. Let messi leave Barcelona for both his sake and that of the club. unlike contrary opinions, Messi leaving Barcelona will do Barcelona more good than harm. The reason Bayern took it personal was because of the presence of Messi in the squad and how he alone can decide the match, statements like that provokes rival players and they vow to eat Barca raw when they meet. Barcelona would not have lost by 8 goals if Messi was not on the pitch. "IT is a phychological thing people wont understand. IT happens not only in football but in life in general. for example. "USA VS CHINA" "BROCK NESNA VS THE UNDERTAKER" "NIGERIA VS SOUTH AFRICA"

The bolded is ridiculous.


Like someone said even in tiki taka you need pace, and athleticism to go with skill..

Fact is that half of our first eleven are old and washed up.
They may still have the skill but they are tired.

They have played too much football in the last 10 years.

Suarez, Vidal, Busquets, Alba, Rakitic have an average age of 33 years and must quit.

I would only give Messi and Pique a pass.

Messi, Pique, Dembele, Puig, Fati, Lenglet, De Jong, Semedo (even though Davies reduces his value last night) should be built around.

We still need at least 2 world class signings.

I have to admire what Bayern Munich have done.
They have low key done some terrific squad revamp.

Who would believe Lahm, Robben, Ribbery, Hummels and co left?

They have got some young, strong and skilful players.

usbcable:
Actually no. I am not.
That question should be directed at the rest of you having motivational week about beating Bayern.

by the way for years to come the 8-2 loss will always be a talking point like the 4-0 loss to Liverpool (Corner taken quickly) and the 3-0 loss to Roma (Manola the greek god)

Cc nikeball

You have deviated now.

That is not what you said that I responded to.

You were actually talking about Real and Ronaldo in case you forgot.

I say it all the time.

It is much more difficult to remain with one club for 15 years than jump to another rich club every 4 or 5 years.

In 15 years you see coaches come and go, players come and go, team undergoes rebuilding, board membership changes, etc.

The most difficult thing for any footballer is to remain with one club.

Unforrtubaley unintelligent people who can't think outside the box cannot understand this logic.

Only about 4 players remain with Messi since the golden era began in 2009. All other players are new.

Busquets, Pique, Alba, Rakitic, Vidal all have to go.
Barca needs 26 year olds now not 33 year olds.

usbcable:
The fools were laughing at Real Madrid and Ronaldo.
They never knew what was going to HIT them them HARD

Are we comparing quarter finals or second round matches.

Because last I checked; both Ronaldo and Real Madrid did not make the quarter finals.

They crashed out in the second round?

Are you smoking something USBcable.

Hamid7:
It was shameful watching barca play like that. This is easily our worst defeat in all of history. More than half of the players that featured yesterday have no business in that team, they have outlived their usefulness.

Pique, Lenglet: The first is old and past his prime and while the other is is damn too slow to play modern football.

Jordi Alba: This one offers nothing defensively and and can do nothing to stop a counter attack.

Busquets: defensive midfielder should serve as a buffer, to neutalize attacks before it becomes too dangerous. Having a more than 30 year old slow man in that position will expose the defensive line to frequent attacks.

Vidal: sorry cules, I don't know what that guy's doing in Barca. Some argue that he's supposed to bring some physicality into the team, but that only works if you have 3 or more physical players, just one won't have any effect on the game. What he has done since his arrival is to make needless fouls, besides he offers no creativity which is the first duty of a midfielder.

Suarez: Past his prime, he will not improve.

Semedo: That guy should leave, he was never good.

Griezman: Dear cules, this guy will play nothing at Barca even if we hire Pep as coach. He hardly shows any trait of a barcelona kind of player, he is an exact opposite.

All these players shouldn't even be playing in europe, their kinds are in the MLS, Quatar, China and even Japan, where old, tired legs are appreciated.

The coach: That man always looks clueless. What do you make of a coach who speaks to his players by proxy( through Sarabria). No sane coach lets his assistant do the talking when he's present, reason why assistant coaches seem to remain permanently quiet. Even worse, he's a damn coward with no balls. He won't succeed anywhere.

Bartomeu, Abidal, and rest of board members hired a coward like themselves. Barto should do more than making apologies, he is probably our worst president in 20 years he should resign and Abidal should follow him, he's just being Bartomeu's puppet all this while - making needles transfers.

Messi: This game was beyond his power like every other game where magic is needed from nit just one man, I won't blame him. However he should sometimes bark at his boys to to stop disgracing themselves. He should stop looking dejected whenever we're loosing.

This defeat is not even as painful as Roma or Liverpool but it's more shameful.

The interpretation I have of last night is that it there was a first leg and we won by 5-0 we would still have crashed out.

Defend votes for this corona?

That day you will know that Oshiomole and INEC will remember to observe covid 19 protocols.

Vote and go home so you don't contract and spread covid 19

Edo is not Abia.

Seventy7kings:
you forgot to add, 'without Ronaldo, Real Madrid have not crossed UCL quarter final'. I 8 2 see a pained hypocrite

Without Bale actually.

For 4 seasons Real Madrid had Ronaldo but never won the UCL until they signed Gareth Bale.

That's how you give other people's credit to Ronaldo.
Just as Eder won the Euros for Portugal and you gave the credit to Ronaldo.

OfficialJayy:
Without cr7 juve would not have come this far, simple.. incase you dont know, juve have scored 7 goals in knockout stages since cr7's arrival, and all these goals have been scored by cr7...

Agreed juve before cr7 went to 2 finals and one semifinal but you cant compare those teams (pogba, pirlo, vidal) with this current one(matuidi, pjanic, and bentacur)... and besides dont forget in one of those finals and the semi final that mentioned, cr7 taught them a hard lession..

You claim that messi is old, but you are forgetting that cr7 was also 33 years old when he destroyed Bayern

Sure they are both old and their levels have dropped.
But I was only responding to the person who said that it was because of Ronaldo that Juve made it far.

Let's not turn logic on its head because we want to worship Ronaldo.

The stats prove that Ronaldo's arrival set Juve back in the UCL. No amount of glory singing can change that fact.

FirstSon01:
Seeing your Comment reminds me that there are still idiots who have allowed their hate for anything PDP to becloud their thinking.
Obaseki would have gotten PDPs support even in APC because of his competence and how he was better than his predecessors.
Ize Iyamu is a theif whether Oshiomole says another thing tomorrow. He served in Lucky Igbinedion's government that was rated as the most Corrupt government in Edo state.

Sure idiots abound everywhere.

Like those who also support Obaseki despite PDP calling Obaseki a failed governor with no development strides.

Like PDP taking Obaseki to court for having no certificates to run for governor. And the case was only struck out for technicalities.

Now would you agree with me that both sides are made of idiots?

obembet:
Without Ronaldo , Juventus wouldn't have even come that far , against Lyon he gave his best , but it seemed he was only the determined player in Juventus , This season , without Messi , barca would have been relegated .....They all tried but just that , their teammates were nowhere near the level they expected from them .....Goats


Lalasticlala

Without Ronaldo they've been to 2 finals and 1 semi final in then last 5 years.

With Ronaldo they have not crossed the quarter finals.

WTF you talking about lady?


As for Messi he's older and slower and his team is now made of 33 year olds and more.

Heard that Suarez passed the ball a total of 9 times.
1 time during kick-off and 8 times after every goal.

RealEzee:
CR7 score 2 goals n won d game b4 bowing out of the CL what did Messi do?

Are we talking about the second round or the quarter final.?

Surely not the quarter final because Ronaldo didn't even get there.

In the second round Messi scored one, made one penalty and worked another goal and qualified.

Ronaldo scored one penalty and score one and crashed out.

What Nonsense are you taking about?

STARGREEN:
Bro kindly show a bit respect to Messi. It's not easy playing without Xavi and Inesta.

I wish you can understand.

After Xavi and Iniesta he has won 2 Ballon dors.

Something 99 percent of players cannot win in a 20 year career.

Don't be silly.
Resist the urge to be silly.

Sanchez01:
No goal, no assist. He is not the striker, granted, but Ronaldo will not be in a team and watch his side shredded to pieces without scoring at least a goal.

The worst part of it all is that he was mising from the entire game.

The stats don't lie.

Ronaldo vs Lyon
Messi vs Bayern...

Ronaldo was knocked out in the second round.

Messi in the quarter final.

Period.

barackodam:
How would you blame MATS for the game?


You didn't see how our defense dey open like a very wet pusssy?


Mats is to blame for that too?


You think if Goretzka was Muller or Lewy, he wouldn't have scored like 2 goals?

Its time for people to yarn anyhow.

Ter Stagen not mentally tough.

Does that even make sense?

nihilistjnr:
Good ebening

Eku 8-2 o.

You no wan hail your guy abi

You I no blame you.

You hand an overdose of it since Arsenal to Lyon to Bayern.

Weldone..

barackodam:
You don't get it, do you?

I wasn't predicting doom for my team.

I saw things the way they are, without "hoping"

The reason you're that way is because you hoped something would happen, Messi would do something.

But I lost hope in UCL since January. And settled for trophyless the day we drew Celta.

While some of us will be optimistic, there are those of us who are realistic, we see it the way they are.

Maybe I didn't expect 8, but yes, I knew we'd concede at least 4, my only succor was that we should score more goals to augment. All I wanted was a humble loss.

That's why I'm not pained. Predicting doom is when you have a fair chance of winning. We had no chance. I did state that with what we played against napoli, we'd be disgraced. Bayern aren't Napoli, they're a team that never gets tired of scoring, the bigger the opposition, the more goals they want to score..

That's Bayern.

But una dey expect miracle from Barça that's been a 1 legged table since January, against a cold heartless Bayern team......


Wow..........

What's done is done.

The attitude I hate is coming back after the match to start digging up posts like you would will receive a trophy for "seeing things the way they are"

What I expect from your likes is probably pointing out the flaws and looking forward

Not picking posts and telling everyone how you saw the doom coming..

pu7pl3:
Mr Gorilla, the chest beater...how far na?

This one has finally ended his menstrual cycle.

Not a word since Man City but tonight he's received his healing like the biblical woman with the issue of blood.

haymekus:
6. Listening to fools say Vidal deserves to start ahead of puig, then we ended up scoring 1 goal and conceding 8 in the same match he played 90 minutes

Vidal obsession.

We watched how our defence was torn apart time after time after time yet you still nagging about Vidal.

Stop it already, it's embarrassing.

barackodam:
Now you're pained(not about the trolling, but about the game).

Life could have been easier if we'd accepted the fact that we'd be pummeled and stop doing statistical analysis.

Bayern's defense is worse than ours, yet na our defense chop 8.

I can't believe that a Tottenham team in crisis would concede lesser goals than us...

Likeeeeee

The only thing that pains me is people like you who are happy we lost so that you can say "I was right"

You should be ashamed really.

Predicting doom for the team wouldn't have affected Satien's tactics or the players' performance far away in Portugal.

haymekus:
How far, Vidal play full match oo, including other experienced/30+ players we will be needing next season.

That's the point.

There are at least 4 other players that shouldnt be playing.
Why is Vidal your only problem.?

You're trying too hard to justify yourself.

Some of us here are even happy we lost so they can gloat and say "I told you so"

Tufiakwa!
