re: BOLTING Casillas and Iniesta

brah

Just an opposition to an assumption made by someone who doesn't read enough of the thread to realize the latter of of the thread was a conversation between two people who are more than just casual soccer fans.

You call it hate, I call it irritation by someone who uses the term "brah"

I honestly thought it would've happened over the summer. Hart is pretty much done in Manchester.

just that it wouldn't match what Bayern (and german football for that matter) has been for a while. Large simplistic players as opposed to the spanish meistros.

Bayern's play this year has been far from simplistic. They may be more direct than Pep's Barca, but they are still doing a lot of technical things on and off the ball that are far from just trying to create space and pump balls into Ribs and Robben.

Pep has these guys moving laterally more and taking advantage of the small pockets between the often sitting back lines and clogged midfields they face. You didn't see that as much last year, and it is something that ONLY comes with a great understanding of spacing and movement.

These are not simplistic ideas, and our players are far from simplistic. Schweinsteiger may be renown for his fundamental approach to the game, but make no mistake, he reads, understands, and applies technical aspects to the game that often go unnoticed.
Kroos is a marvel all around. He isn't a flashy player, but again, that doesn't make him simplistic.

I think the word you were going for was efficient.
