What? Real barely did anything in the years Zizou was there? He was there for five years as part of an insanely expensive project where he was basically the pièce de résistance, and not only did they only manage one league title (and one Champions League title), but they immediately bounced back after Zidane retired. It’s some wild revisionist shit to claim Zizou a top-five legend in Real, and I’m saying this as a Barcelona fan.
Luis Monti in shambles.
To be fair, Pelé was very clearly against contraceptives, right up the Vatican’s alley with that one.
How is this dude nearly 40? I mean, at some point surely he must mature? Right?
Juve working overtime.
Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs
Lol, it’s very telling that you can’t see how that only makes it fucking worse. It’s his livelihood, his job, that they were deliberately trying to sabotage by injuring him. They, on the other hand, have very little at stake.
What an absolute piece of garbage. Here’s to hoping that one of the Kazakhs clatters his tough persona image next time he steps on the pitch, acting like a deliberate knee in the back is part of “football as a contact sport.” I guarantee you that he’d be rolling round the entire circumference of the pitch if the roles had been reversed, and would probably then have had the gall to complain about big teams being protected by the referees if Højlund had only been booked. A violent, dirty, piece of cuntish shit with a gross victim mentality is very obviously what this man child is.
Surely this isn’t the reason, though? Especially considering that Deva Stadium was only built in 1992.
Am I seeing correctly, that Chester FC technically plays in Wales, as the pitch is on the Welsh side of the border?
Do you really think that Zizou is a top-five Real player in history? I’m genuinely flabbergasted by this as a Barça fan, with the likes of Raúl, Casillas, Pirri, Gento, Míchel, Hierro, Paco Gento, etc. around. You’re a massive club with a massive history, so I really can’t understand elevating someone like Zizou to the top five. He was in Madrid for five seasons where you lot won one league title with Zizou as the pièce de résistance of an insanely expensive project. For the record, when Zidane announced his retirement, this is what he said: ‘I don’t want to start a third year knowing I won’t be able to do better than I’ve done in the past. I don’t want another year like this one, or even the one two years ago… it’s been two years now that I haven’t been playing like I want to.’ Zidane was, in the bigger picture, a disappointment in Madrid. Even, and perhaps especially, to himself.
