At the moment they are praising his methods and how he motivates players while busy with the signings rumours (you know how they love to make up things). But its true that they're emphasizing on how he always wins something on his first year.

On a personal note I like the changes he made (they train in two 90 minutes sessions morning - afternoon, he will bring 8 players from the youth team to the pre season tour, and he is the first manager for a loooong time that actually is being heard on signings (don't spend too much - bring me this - don't transfer this guy)) and I think a pressure+counter attack totally fits RM roster besides I prefer possession.

Wow, once Adriano gets properly fit Adriano/Vuci/Totti will be a fucking great trio. Totti will bring the creative brilliance, Vuci will bring his ridiculous speed and Adriano will add some serious power. It has so much potential to be awesome. :D

Anybody been following Barclays Red Bull Challenge? I just watched Spurs vs Sporting. Really fun game to watch, defense was pretty bad from both teams but offense was very enjoyable to watch some great goals.

I'm def excited tho in an hour there will be Man City vs NY Red Bulls, should be interesting. I really wanna see how Man will play, hopefully they'll play better than they did against sporting but we'll see.

Adriano and Totti up front.. quite literally a destructive force

Adriano got the arms and Totti got the legs!

What happened to Bridge? Just started watching.

Looking at the transfers I think City is going to get a CL spot and seriously challenge for the title but these friendlies make them look like so poor.

He also must have referred to Gareth Bale as Gareth Barry about 20 times in the earlier game.

I'm really disappointed in city's starting 11 for the redbulls game.

That goal by Richards was sick!! Defense in this game in general was soooo terrible, but it made it entertaining. I think city played players they normally wouldn't just because its a friendly. Either way they played kinda sloppily which resulted in there loss.

Learn to close faster on shooting threats! damn

Watching these MLS teams beat the Premier League teams is pretty fun, even if they are friendlies. Kansas City just beat Man U, lololol

Yeah, but even in the game against Sporting they had a pretty good lineup. I had never heard of most of the guys that started vs NY.

That 3rd goal didn't seem like it crossed the line.

Yep both Raul and Guti. It's great to see when players retire with 1 club like Maldini did.

What do you think of Balotelli btw?

Balotelli is a brilliant player with a ton of talent who is trying his best to throw away said talent by being an idiot. Cassano-style.

Many Real Madrid's fans are happy with them (Rauld and Guti) leaving the team.

They had to retire or leave the team since ago 2-3 years.
