I do hope he makes top 4, leaving Liverpool out of CL football, and I do hope he wins the Cup. But : Once again, including tonight, his team came very close to a major fuck up, unable to perform under pressure. Anything but convincing Leicester's performance, Brendan is a very lucky man. He should thank the idiots that fucked United's schedule, if you ask me...
Back to topic : Certainly a bad day for football, but you can't beat God, can you, Herr Klopp? Fuck off, by the way...
Whatever I say won't be enough - and won't do justice. History will have the final word, but as far as I can tell, there is nothing similar, I repeat, NOTHING that comes even close to this achievement, in the history of the sport...
Guardiola's brain is all over it, and then the sacrifice of a wonderful group of human beings. After this, the former appears as the best manager who has ever walked on this planet - feel free to use whatever criteria you wish, everything leads to the same conclusion. As for the players, if I believed that the level of sacrifice shown during the 2018 - 2019 campaign was beyond human levels, I really do not know what to make of this. As honest as I can be, I feel totally inadequate, if not useless trying to describe it...
The boss has said again and again that everything we did, we did it ourselves. Nobody gives a fuck though. That's why we have to talk about this, underlying the credit the people responsible for this achievement deserve. And explaining the whys. I said it a few weeks ago, if we don't, noone else will...
Not tonight though. Tonight I will just say how proud I feel for that manager and those players, really privileged for calling myself one of their supporters. Grateful for what they have offered us, speaking for myself my life has certainly been better living the City experience these years...
Not much of a statement, I know, but it's the best I can provide at this moment. And on a personal note, I hope the boys will forgive me for saying the following : If I was to select one single goal, before even the end of the current campaign, it would have to be Bernardo's vs Villa at home, perhaps the most important goal of the season, I will discuss the whys in another post. From a player who has experienced a case of character assassination, Bernardo knows he will never get the credit he deserves for that particular goal, without shame all the media whores focused on the "rules", whether it should count or not etc. Yet that goal sums up the team's phenomenal level of sacrifice as the season evolved. An exhausted Bernardo Silva winning us the game against the whole Villa defense. A symbol of City humiliating the PL, responding with answers (tactical, mental, psychological) to all kinds of situations and problems, winning the league against all odds...
Here's to you Josep Guardiola, and my warm congratulations to all the boys. Your achievement will be remembered long after we're all gone, trust me on this...
