A club like Manchester City is an example of what I said in my last post. Even though they knew they had signed the best coach, they still had to start from scratch.
They sold almost all their starting XI in the first two years and started a new project with a great coach, and that's what I expect from clubs that are ready to fight back to where they were before. Not changing coaches every time. And the honest truth is that most of the coaches out there are young coaches who lack experience. They might be good tactically, but experience is needed, so you need to build with them instead.
Carrick knows the club more than any manager currently, and I feel he's not too far from what Xavi did at Barcelona.
My honest opinion, I really think when a club is having a bad time, it is mostly the coach's fault, especially when the club is not doing the right things in terms of signing top players and providing everything he needs to excel. A good example is Chelsea and Manchester United.
Especially Manchester United, you can't tell me Carrick is the problem with this current team. Yeah, I understand most coaches don't do the right things sometimes, but he's not the first to be in this situation. You have signed different coaches with different tactical plans and it's still at the same level, yet fans will come out to talk down the coach. This is the same coach who won against all the big clubs last season and dominated with this same style of play.
Now in the summer, what did you give him in return? No top signings, still the same players he managed to end the season with, to play an entire season with, which the previous coach failed with. That's not how to run a club, and if there's still no space, then give him enough time.
If Carrick is sacked now, I still don't think the next one will do anything different, and that's just me being honest.

Cristiano Ronaldo became so good that when you say Ronaldo people think of the greatest player of all time
They must add “original” on the name to make him relevant
Lionel Messi on eight Ballon d'Ors is on a different level. 🐐

Looking at this side-by-side trophy comparison between 2004 and 2019 is pure comedy😭😭
10 La Liga titles, 4 Champions Leagues, and a stack of domestic cups owned by ONE MAN compared to their whole squad😷
You can spend all the money you want, but you can never buy the natural dominance Messi brought to Barcelona😹💔
Which rival fanbase is coping the hardest over these numbers?

Real Madrid fans, be very careful.
As y'all are hyping Diomande that has not passed the test of time at Real Madrid, stop bringing in Vini Jr into the mix.
Vini is surely seeing what y'all are doing.
As you're celebrating the presence, and suddenly trashing Vini, be careful.
If I were you (I really don't wish to be, though) I'll be clapping for Diomande (even though he has not done anything) and at the same time, supporting Vini Jr to get back to his best.
Vini won Real Madrid some important trophies with his footballing nature and resilience, conquering hostile environments on cold nights.
Not even Kylian Mbappe has done half of that in a Madrid shirt, and you guys keep running down Vini, meanwhile, all these started from the moment Mbappe stepped into the team.
Whatever that is going on with Vini now, is the result of the mismanagement going on in Real Madrid, which Perez doesn't want to admit, but keeps shifting the blame(calling Negreria).
And the fact that Real Madrid fans are not seeing this simple fact, justifies that y'all deserve what papa Perez is doing to you guys.
Well the point is, as you're celebrating the Diomande that hasn't done anything yet, stop making the mistake of running down the guy that has proven himself time after time on big occasions and nights.
Don't throw a diamond away, simply because it got stained by mud, then you embrace mud, simply because it looks like a diamond.
It takes one-time rain to put everything into its place!
Vini can't suddenly forget everything he knows about football, just as he'll never forget how you guys are treating him now.
He'll surely be back, but maybe in another colors, and you'll pay for everything dearly!

Pau Cubarsí worked normally with the group today after skipping the Ballon d’Or gala to recover from a feverish process that followed El Clásico.
The 19 year old put recovery first and is now ready for Alavés. 🔵🔴

There’s an ongoing debate between these two defenders. Who is currently the best Build Up CB?
Which one is your favorite 👇👇🔥
#efootball
No stability at the back and it shows. 10 different defensive lines in 13 games, you can't build chemistry like that.
Injuries are killing us.

Aston Villa will be coming to the Spotify CampNou thinking -
" If PSG & Real Madrid could beat Barca, So can we "
It's actually funny how football psychology works, maybe y'all can pull it off if you try hard enough,
After all Flick has made Fucking us very easy for y'all

Official or non-official, BOAT will be greater than SUPER BALON DOR:
The reason is simple, all football fans decide BOAT, while selected people decide Super Balon Dor.
When the award was first awarded in 1989, 2 winners emerged from the voting. Michel Platini emerged the winner from viewers and readers of France Magazine, while the current holder Di Steffano emerged the winner from previous Balon Dor winners and France Football jury.
Whenever the next will be awarded, we dont know the categories of people that will be allowed to decide.
However if it is by selected people, it cant supercede the general football fans opinions.
Also, Super Balon Dor doesn't mean a zeal as the greatest of all time.
In 1989, this was the top 3 after the vote:
-Alfredo Di Stefano
-Johan Cruff
-Michel Platini
Now which of these 3 is considered the GOAT right now, even before Ronaldo and Messi era?
Are these 3 considered greater than Pele or Maradona?
Therfore, Super Balon Dor will only mean the best of all Balon Dor winners. BOAT means which Balon Dor campaign is the greatest.
It is possible that BOAT was meant to be in this category but the organisers changed the narratives.
So whether it is official or not, BOAT will always be a great statement that a particular Balon Dor campaign is the best ever in history as of now.
You all know who is winning this 😃.

But you find it normal to see someone Supporting Manchester United/Messi fan but someone most be mad supporting Barcelona/Ronaldo fan ?
The level of double standard is all over the world and it starts from small creator like this guy here.
You can do better.
It's almost impossible to see a Barca-Ronaldo fan but I have many Real Madrid/Man U-Messi fans around me on and off social media.
Only a mæd man can be a genuine Barca-Ronaldo fan🫰
I knew he was disguising all along; I just didn't had time to go through his page.

Football fans have short memory and I find it funny tbvh.
Barcelona has played the best football this season so far. And no team has scored more than Barcelona.
And this man, with his team, went on 11-match winning streak.
And suddenly, they're telling us that Barcelona don't stand any chance of winning trophies this season, simply because Real Madrid, who was played half-field, managed to get a 1-2 win.
And also because, PSG, the two-time UCL defending Champions, won us after a very good match between the two.
I love the doubt now… 😤 We'll be there!
Visca Barca💙❤️💪🏽
