Monday morning saw The Liverpool Echo report that Liverpool were unaware of supposed interest from the Spanish clubs, saying that “neither Suarez nor his representatives have given Liverpool any indication that he wants to quit Anfield” and “Liverpool believe they have done everything they possibly could to satisfy the prolific striker.”


That has been followed up by two more reports; one suggesting Liverpool are “confident” of Suarez remaining at Anfield; and another claiming Suarez wants to play for Barcelona.


The latter of those reports, the more worrying one for Liverpool fans, comes via Spanish football correspondent Guillem Balague. Barcelona “are trying to do all they can to get Suarez” he writes for Bleacher Report.


He writes of Suarez’s affection for Barcelona as a city, and similarly for his wife. Balague claims: “As well as a very important family decision, Suarez wants to be part of the rebuilding process taking place in Barcelona.”


Balague also suggests that Barcelona may offer Alex Sanchez, the Chilean forward who Liverpool have held talks over, and fellow forward Pedro in exchange to get the deal done.


Meanwhile, ESPNFC report how “Liverpool are not resigned to losing Suarez, who told manager Brendan Rodgers at the end of last season that he was committed to the club.”


Similar to The Liverpool Echo report, ESPNFC say Liverpool are though expecting bids for their 31-goal striker.


They claim that Suarez’s contract does include a release clause, the details of which are unknown.

Jordan Henderson; Liverpool vows to learn from England's World Cup heartbreak.


Jordan Henderson; Liverpool vows to learn from England's World Cup heartbreak.




Jordan Henderson believes England’s young players have learned important lessons from their early World Cup exit which will make the team stronger in the future.


Despite some good moments, defeats against Italy and Uruguay left Roy Hodgson’s men facing their first group-stage exit since 1958.


Henderson admitted the feeling within the camp is one of disappointment at having let the England fans down but is confident the overall experience will stand the younger players in good stead.


"I'm sure everyone at home is feeling down," Henderson said.


"We feel as though we have let a lot of people down, but at the same time we have shown people how well we can play in a big tournament with young players coming through.


"We went out and played with no fear. We have a promising young side, hopefully we can gel together and in the future have many more happy memories.


"It doesn't really get much bigger than playing in the World Cup. It's been an unbelievable experience, but no matter whether we've had highs or lows, you have to learn from it as best you can.


"I'm sure the young lads here will learn from that and it will make them stronger and better as well."


Henderson acknowledged the mood in the camp was downbeat following their exit but paid tribute to England’s team spirit overall.


"Everyone is disappointed," he said. "We're really down because we are going home far too early.


"There was a lot of confidence going into the tournament, everyone has been getting on great and the team spirit has been brilliant.


"Team spirit is about people being together, not only when it's going well but also when things don't go so well and you need each other.


"It's not a great mood [around the camp] but it's a time everyone needs to stick together, everyone needs to stay strong.


"I'm sure there will be days when you'll wake up and it'll come back into your head, but at the same time, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and you have to keep going."


Henderson may not start the final group game against Costa Rica as Hodgson is set to shuffle his team with Frank Lampard in line to captain the side at the Mineirao Stadium.


Los Ticos, the tournament’s surprise package, are planning to rest players having already secured qualification for the last 16.


Despite that, the Liverpool midfielder stressed that England will enter the game determined to win and finish the tournament on a high.


"We'll be approaching the game the same as we have the other two and that's to go out and win the game," Henderson said.


"We'll not prepare any differently because we are out of the competition, we'll go out and finish on a high and get a win. We don't want to go home losing all three games.


"We want to show people how much we do really care and for everyone back home, give them some enjoyment in the final game. Give them something to shout about and put on a good performance."

Bagi sesiapa yang sempat menyaksikan perlawanan Algeria VS Korea Republic semalam, tentu perasan dengan kelibat seorang pemain Algeria yang begitu kental mengasak dan bertahan, aksinya begitu mencuri tumpuan dengan permainan penuh bertenaga, keras, kental dan sempurna dibahagian Center Defensive Midfielder



Beliau adalah Carl Medjani, karier bola sepak profesionalnya bermula di Liverpool FC seawal usia 18 tahun, pemain kelahiran Lyon ini dibawa oleh Gerard Houllier yang bijak menyambarnya dari kelab St. Etienne, sayangnya beliau tidak diberikan peluang beraksi dalam EPL, mungkin disebabkan usia terlalu muda dan Liverpool mempunyai lambakan pertahanan mantap ketika itu seperti Hyypia



Medjani dipinjamkan ke Lorient (2004/05) dan Mentz (2005/06) selepas musim 2003/04, sebelum dilepaskan ke Lorient secara tetap pada musim 2006/07.



Usia Medjani ketika ini ketika ini baru menjangkau 29 tahun.

Steven Gerrard: England captain looking ahead to 2016


Steven Gerrard: England captain looking ahead to 2016




Steven Gerrard says England’s humbling experience at the World Cup will help them mount a strong challenge at Euro 2016.


England take on Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday in the final match of their Group D campaign and will then fly home after a hugely disappointing tournament.


But despite the sorry showing in South America, skipper Gerrard believes the 17 England players in Brazil who had never been to a World Cup before will be stronger for the experience.


"The World Cup is a level where you don't forget your experiences in two weeks, four weeks, a couple of months - they live with you for a long time," said the England captain, who will start on the bench in Belo Horizonte.


"But you have to accept that and try and move forward so that if you're picked for another tournament, your experiences are better.


"I do think the youngsters here have that character. I've said how talented they are. They do the right things in and around training, and they want to stay at this level for a long time.


"It will be better in two years because of the standard of players we have here."


England’s players and management have come in for a barrage of criticism following defeats to Italy and Uruguay – although the likes of Paul Scholes had pointed out what they believe to be deficiencies even before the tournament began.


Gerrard admits that criticism has had an impact.


"In this position as captain you have to accept there are opinions out there," he said.


"I am not sitting here telling everyone they have to stop. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.


"But sometimes it is frustrating when you are sat here and there is someone who you have played with and they have been in your position, they have suffered with you and they know what it's like to be down - and they pile a bit more misery on you."

As the World Cup group stages draw to a close this week, there’s some massive games involving Liverpool players to be seen out.



On Tuesday at 5pm, England play their last game of the tournament against Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte before going home prematurely.


Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson and Rickie Lambert could all feature for Roy Hodgson’s side as they look to make amends for back-to-back defeats against Italy and Uruguay in their opening two games.


Costa Rica v England: Sturridge to score at any time at 2.00 . Over 2.5 goals at 1.80



Simultaneously (as all last games of the group stages are), Luis Suarez will look to continue the sensational form he showed in helping Uruguay beat England in a crunch encounter against Italy.


With Costa Rica already through to the second round, the winner of Italy-Uruguay will also qualify from the group stage.


Italy v Uruguay: Could be a cagey one, and Italy only need a draw. Draw at 3.30 . Under 1.5 goals at 3.20 .



On Wednesday, it would take a remarkable set of results for Mamado Sakho’s France not to reach the second round, having won their first two World Cup games.


France face Ecuador in Rio at 9pm, whilst Honduras and Switzerland do battle in the other game. Avoid defeat, and France are in the last 16.


We’re backing Sakho to continue the great, strong form he’s shown so far in Brazil…


Ecuador v France: Ecuador to score no goals at 2.50 .


Our betting tips



  • Costa Rica v England: Sturridge to score at any time at 2.00 .

  • Costa Rica v England: Over 2.5 goals at 1.80

  • Italy v Uruguay: Draw at 3.30 .

  • Italy v Uruguay: Under 1.5 goals at 3.20

  • Ecuador v France: Ecuador to score no goals at 2.50 .

Steven Gerrard: England captain urging Harry Redknapp to name and shame players


Steven Gerrard: England captain urging Harry Redknapp to name and shame players




Steven Gerrard has urged Harry Redknapp to name and shame the players he claims wanted to withdraw from England duty while he was manager of Tottenham.


Redknapp claimed on Sunday that certain England players urged him to make them unavailable for international duty during his tenure at White Hart Lane.


But the England captain has been angered by the claims and demanded the QPR boss come forward and reveal the players he is referring to.


"I don't know who he means. Is it five years ago? 10 years ago? We need names," said Gerrard.


"If it's the case, it's disgusting."


The England team are still coming to terms with their early exit from the World Cup as they prepare to face Costa Rica in their final Group D game before returning home.


But Gerrard insists there has been no lack of commitment or effort among the squad in Brazil.


"I can guarantee that is not the case here," added Gerrard. "Nobody here wants to go home.


"In the two years I've been here, I've seen a greater interest in playing for England, so Harry's comments come as a bit of a surprise."


Redknapp stunned members of the England camp in Brazil on Sunday with his claims about his former players at Spurs.


"When I was at Tottenham, when full internationals came around, there were two or three players who did not want to play for England," the QPR boss told the BBC.


"They would come to me 10 days before the game and say, 'Gaffer, get me out of that game, I don't want to play in that game'.


"I'd say, 'you're playing for your country, you should want to play'.


"(They would say) 'Nah, my girlfriend is having a baby in four weeks, I don't want to play' and that is the truth, so it makes you wonder."

Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho says he is surprised at how early England were knocked out of the World Cup, but his happy that Steven Gerrard and co. will be rested for pre-season.

England face Costa Rica on Tuesday in their final group D game, unable to qualify for the second round of the tournament after back-to-back defeats to Italy and Uruguay in their opening matches.


Liverpool’s Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Glen Johnson, Jordan Henderson and Rickie Lambert have all played in the disappointing campaign.


Coutinho is currently resting ahead of Liverpool’s pre-season campaign, which gets underway with a friendly at Brondby on Wednesday, 16th July — just three days after the World Cup final.


On England’s disappointing World Cup performance, he told Placar, with quotes picked up by Sky Sports, “It surprised me because I thought they would go further.


“I thought they would meet Brazil in the final! But on the other hand this is even a good thing as my Liverpool team-mates will be more rested for the pre-season.”


Luis Suarez subjected England to their effective elimination from the competition by scoring twice in Uruguay’s 2-1 victory over Roy Hodgson’s side on Thursday night in Sao Paulo.


Coutinho says he’s delighted for the Liverpool forward.


“Suarez is a big friend, I am happy for him. He returned and managed to help his national team. We know the difficulties he has gone through.”

After being part of Liverpool’s formidable attack in 2013/14, Coutinho is itching to get back on the pitch himself.


“I am very anxious. I cannot wait to start the pre-season,” he added. “A week here, watching games on television, is already driving me crazy.”


Coutinho has made 50 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Inter Milan in January 2013, scoring eight times.

England face Costa Rica on Tuesday in their final group D game, unable to qualify for the second round of the tournament after back-to-back defeats to Italy and Uruguay in their opening matches.


Liverpool’s Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Glen Johnson, Jordan Henderson and Rickie Lambert have all played in the disappointing campaign.


Coutinho is currently resting ahead of Liverpool’s pre-season campaign, which gets underway with a friendly at Brondby on Wednesday, 16th July — just three days after the World Cup final.


On England’s disappointing World Cup performance, he told Placar, with quotes picked up by Sky Sports, “It surprised me because I thought they would go further.


“I thought they would meet Brazil in the final! But on the other hand this is even a good thing as my Liverpool team-mates will be more rested for the pre-season.”


Luis Suarez subjected England to their effective elimination from the competition by scoring twice in Uruguay’s 2-1 victory over Roy Hodgson’s side on Thursday night in Sao Paulo.


Coutinho says he’s delighted for the Liverpool forward.


“Suarez is a big friend, I am happy for him. He returned and managed to help his national team. We know the difficulties he has gone through.”

After being part of Liverpool’s formidable attack in 2013/14, Coutinho is itching to get back on the pitch himself.


“I am very anxious. I cannot wait to start the pre-season,” he added. “A week here, watching games on television, is already driving me crazy.”


Coutinho has made 50 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Inter Milan in January 2013, scoring eight times.

Steven Gerrard: Urging Harry Redknapp to name and shame players


Steven Gerrard: Urging Harry Redknapp to name and shame players




Steven Gerrard has urged Harry Redknapp to name and shame the players he claims wanted to withdraw from England duty while he was manager of Tottenham.


Redknapp claimed on Sunday that certain England players urged him to make them unavailable for international duty during his tenure at White Hart Lane.


But the England captain has been angered by the claims and demanded the QPR boss come forward and reveal the players he is referring to.


"I don't know who he means. Is it five years ago? 10 years ago? We need names," said Gerrard.


"If it's the case, it's disgusting."


The England team are still coming to terms with their early exit from the World Cup as they prepare to face Costa Rica in their final Group D game before returning home.


But Gerrard insists there has been no lack of commitment or effort among the squad in Brazil.


"I can guarantee that is not the case here," added Gerrard. "Nobody here wants to go home.


"In the two years I've been here, I've seen a greater interest in playing for England, so Harry's comments come as a bit of a surprise."

Post Match Tactical Verdict!



Costa Rica 1 Italy 0

Day 9



The fast and furious costa rica vs midfield dominance play Italy.



Ramai menyifatkan costa rica bermain fast and furious football. Kelajuan mereka sangat luar biasa sepanjang perlawanan. Mereka sengaja bermain pantas kerana tahu bahagian tengah dan pertahanan Italy tidak selaju mereka dan mereka (costa Rica) tak akan menang bersaing fizikal di final third. Berikut adalah highlight saya,



1. Costa Rica Tight In The Middle



Costa Rica tahu Italy ingin menguasai bahagian tengah seperti mana mereka lakukan ke atas England. Namun Costa Rica juga tahu Pirlo tak akan "berlari" / PIRLO DONT RUNS. Pemain tengah Itali mengajak Costa Rica bermain dalam permainan terbuka (open play) seperti yang mereka lakukan ke atas England, namun kali ini Andrea Pirlo danThiago Motta high line. Costa Rica yang dilihat sudah ada perancangan sendiri untuk mengatasi masalah ini dan jemputan Italy dipenuhi.



2. Costa Rica Bermain Open Football dan High lIne



kita pasti terkejut apabila Costa Rica tidak "parking bas" selepas menang game pertama ramai menjangkakan pasukan &039;kerdil&039; ini akan mengambil langkah selamat untuk &039;tidak kalah&039; dan bermain defensive negative football. Sebaliknya ,ini tak berlaku bila mereka bermain high line defense yg bertujuan membantu menutup ruang oleh support midfielder /winger Italy ke atas Balotelli. Costa RIca tahu , Itali cuma laju di fullback dan balotelli. Dengan bermain compact di tengah , Costa rica memberi banyak ruang kepada offensive fullback Italy untuk mara. Adakah ia sengaja dibiarkan??



Fokus mereka lebih kepada midfield area battle daripada mengawal flanker Italy. Mereka cuba menghalang midfielder Italy daripada melakukan key pass kepada flanker /fullback serta balotelli yang sangat kuat fizikal.



Bila saja fullback melakukan hantararan , pemain Costa Rica akan cuba menutup ruang kepada Balotelli . Bila berjaya merampas bola terutamanya bila bola di udara , Costa Rica sering memenagi in the air duel. Mereka akan gunakan speed untuk counter attack. Sebab itu saya katakan ia apart of costa rican tactical. Itulah pendekatan yang standard &039;underdog&039;, tetapi gameplan Costa Rica juga terlibat baik, menyerang bijak dalam permainan terbuka.



Open Play kedua dua pasukan membuatkan Giorgio Chiellini sangat sukar menentang Campbell. De Rossi yang ada kemapuan utk membantu pertahanan pula sukar untuk turun kerana seringkali membantu di high line.



3. Costa Rica Attacking system dan Counter Attack!



Bila darmian dan abate dah terlajak ,mereka sukar nak track back pemain costa rica seperti Joel Campbell dan Kristian Bolanos yg cuba memusnahkan organisasi pertahanan Italy dengan fast break dengan speed. Pemain seperti De Rossi dan Motta yg sepatutnya menjadi shielder kepada back 4 pun tak mampu bersaing secara speed larian.Ini taktikal berani dan berisiko terutamanya bila berdepan pasukan gergasi seperti Italy. Mereka sangat cepat menukar arah bola dan melakukan hantaran. Gol Ruiz adalah hasil kombinasi team play dan hantaran tepat. Apabila menyerang mereka menukar arah dan taktikal dengan cukup cepat tanpa perlu mengunakan long pass seperti kebanyakkan team under dog yang lain.



Kombinasi /link up yang mantap antara tengah-sayap-pertahanan dan serangan mereka boleh bermain dalam keadaan yang mereka ingini sama aa meluaskan/widen shape melalui wings attack atau narrowed/ mengecilkan shape melalui attack from centre. Mereka juga memiliki pemain/support yang cukup bila menyerang . ini memang hebat untuk underdog.



4. Pirlo di High Line??



Mengapa Pirlo bemain di high line dan Rossi diletakkan lebih deep, dan bukan di line dia mainkan ketika vs England mahupun di Juventus.Pirlo positioning banyak menguntungkan Costa Rica kerana dia tak akan "berlari". Pirlo memiliki masa terlalu singkat untuk decide melakukan hantaran di kawasan duel dengan sistem costa Rica yang compact dan agressif. Game menentang England dia di deeper line dan lebih relaks untuk menetukan tindakan dia . Ini dibantu oleh shielding daripada Verrati dan De Rossi .



Namun saya lebih melihat Pirlo diletakkan high sebab Prandelli ingin Italy menang game ini awal dan memberi ruang kepada pemain utama direhatkan. Ini keranan bila di high line Pirlo diharap lebih mudah melakukan key pass ke wide dan paling penting balotelli yang menggemari through pass dan berssaing fizikal. Namun ia gagal sebab Tejeda Ruiz dan Borges sangat effektif di tengah dengan kemampuan costa rica memenangi pertarungan bola tinggi mahupun bola through pass dengan kelajuan mereka.Motta dan De rossi turut gagal membantu .Ada kemungkinan jika italy score awal dan menduhului 2 atau 3 kosong , Pirlo boleh direhatkan lebih awal.



5. Costa Rica Set Piece Play



Buffon seringkali berada dalam tekanan dan tak selesa dalam set piece play / death ball situation. Costa rica sangat bagus dalam memenangi duel dan positioning ketika set piece sama seperti yang mereka lakukan ke atas Uruguay.



6. Italy Re-Shape



Prandelli segera membawa masuk Antonio Cassano untuk Thiago Motta, dalam formasi 4-2-2-2. Lorenzo Insigne dan Alessio Cerci dimasukkan utk bermain sistem winger sebenar dengan keupayaan menggelecek dan speed run. Melihat keadaan ini , Costa Rica mula drop deep dan tidak terlalu high. Mereka mula bersedia untuk menghadapi cross play daripada Italy. Namun Italy tetap gagal .

Pergerakan Balotelli seakan akan tidak wujud, tidak seperti menentang England. Dia banyak mempersiakan peluang di separuh masa pertama.



Kesimpulan , satu taktikal yang menarik /beautiful football dan berisiko oleh costa rica. namun hasilnya sangat memuaskan , tahniah! bila mereka layak untuk ke pusingan 16. Namun beberapa kelemahan perlu diperbaiki Costa Rica terutama dalam offside line trap .Apapun , salute to fast and Furious football.

Open Letter to Anti Tiki Taka



Teruk tiki taka kena bash oleh peminat .Namun persoalannya , adakah memang tiki taka tak relevan atau spain cuma berakhirnya satu Golden Generation. Bukan nak menidakkan kemampuan Casillas , Xavi , Iniesta , Xabi Alonso , Torres , Villa Alba dll yang selama ini membuktikan tiki taka adalah sistem yang berjaya menyumbat 2 piala ke dalam kabinet Spain. World cup dan Uefa Euro.



1. Every Golden Generation ada Life Span / Jangka hayat.



Saya rasakan ini satu yang sangat kejam utk pemain spain yg senior. Mereka seakan akan dimalukan dengan satu unaceptable result di WC2014. Sudah pasti ia satu WORLD CUP TO FORGET for Spain. Bukan isu terkeluar awal dengan status penyandang kerana pasukan Brazil Italy dan France pun pernah tapi isu sekarang.



Mereka kalah 2 perlawanan berturut turut buat pertama kali di Bawah Del Bosque.



Menjadi penyandang Juara WC yang pertama tewas 2 perlawanan berturut turut pada pembukaan dan perlawanan kedua.



CUma meledak 1 gol dan 7 bolos



Gagal membuat gol dari open play.



Ini memang membuktikan generasi emas Spain sudah di pengakhiran. Tapi mereka bertuah kerana generasi emas ini telah menjuarai WC2010 dan Euro 2012. Portugal di zaman Luis Figo , Nuno Gomez , Deco , Ronaldo , Quaresma , dan Liedson tak pernah menang WC walaupun turun sebagai pasukan pilihan. Dan Golden Generation Belgium yang ada masih belum ada ciri ciri yang mereka benar benar favourite untuk WC2014.



2. Stamina dan Energy dan Kejatuhan Barca



Tiki taka adalah sistem yang memerlukan stamina yang tinggi kerana ia dimainkan dalam persekitaran cukup energetik dalam usaha memberikan pressing dan pass and move. Core untuk tiki taka ialah Xavi dan Ineista. Saya kecualikan Xabi Alonso dan Busquet kerana mereka berdua lebih kepada holding midfielder.



Xavi dan Iniesta musim ini nampak agak menurun . walaupun still a good player namun mereka tak cukup untuk menampung kapasiti yang dituntut oleh tiki taka. Bila lack of stamina and energy, hantaran akan lambat dihala atau diexecuted. Ini yang berlaku , bila pemain di flanker dan no.10 /hole gagal mendapat bola yang &039;berhantu&039; dalam split second seperti sebelum ini.



Simptom ini sepatutnya sudah dapat dikesan awal bila Barca musim ini gagal bermain seperti sebelum ini. Mereka bukan pasukan yang boleh menang mudah lagi musim ini. Messi kerap injured kerana menerima pass movement yang bukan standard Xavi Iniesta. Barca bukanlah satu pasukan yang sukar diuruskan , transisi dari Riijkard ke Guardiola mahupun Tito Vilanova semuanya smooth. Tapi kenapa Tata Martino yang rekod dia lebih proven berbanding Guardiola (hari pertama dia menjadi manager Barca) dan Tata juga lebih baik rekod dari Tito dalam arena pengurusan tapi gagal?? Kerana dia diserahkan satu core /pusat kuasa tiki taka yang semakin aging.



XAVI INIESTA - Aging

Fabregas - Tak konsisten

Song - No idea???

Alcantara - sold to Bayern.



3. Ego Del Bosque



Seleksi 25 men squad Spain paling questionable sebab del Bosque ada ramai pilihan. Membawa pemain yang out of form seperti Torres dan meninggalkan Negeredo , even Soldado patut masuk kalau kualiti seperti Torres yang ada boleh make the cuts. Drop berberapa pemain seperti Jesus Navas yang sebelum ini memang shape changer mereka semasa World Cup bila diperlukan. Tidak memabawa pemain seperti Isco dan tetap berpegang kepada Barca Trio + Alonso di tengah. Menjadikan Iker sebagai first choices dikala pemain itu bukan no.1 di Real Madrid. Full of respect to Ier tapi De Gea atau Reina even Diego Lopez deserve more.



4. Diego Costa ??



Diego Costa bukan type of tiki taka striker. Dia adalah central striker yang stay dalam zonal sendiri dan menanti servis sekerap yang boleh. Berbeza dengan torrres villa di masa prime torres , dia suka mencari chanel yang lain daripada kekal di satu zon . Torres tahu bila masa dia patut lari dari kawasan tengah dan pergi ke chanel lain untuk memberi laluan kepada pemain lain menggunakan laluan itu .

Ini menghalang fluid attacking football. Contohnya Jordi Alba sangat terhad peluang untuk masuk ke atas , begitu juga david silva. Bila Torres bermain , Spain lebih selesa sharing the channel kerana kemamouan Torres untuk membaca pattern serangan dan menunggu/ bersedia di tempat yang betul sama ada di kanan , kri atau tengah. Tapi finishing torres sangat menghampakan.



5. No Game Changer



Torres seringkali dimasukkan bila Costa buntu . Tapi relevankah ini? Torres bukanlah game changer seperti dia yang dulu. Bagi saya pemain seperti Negredo , Jesus Navas , Mata , Cazorla adalah game changer sebenar . namun del bosque lebih memilih Torres. Even David Villa saya rasakan lebih layak untuk menjadi deputy Costa dengan option yang ada.



6. No leadership /general di Pertahanan.



Mungkin pemain seperti Puyol akan dirindui. Pique dan Ramos pemain yang bagus tapi mereka berdua tak sebising Puyol bila dipadang. Leadership seperti Puyol amat diperlukan walaupun sekadar di bangku simpanan. Mereka perlukan seorang general dan commander dalam pasukan.



Kesimpulan saya , tiki taka akan sentiasa relevan , cuma ia memerlukan right player dan right team.Dalam erti kata lain, Spain cuma kehilangan golden generation yang sangat luar biasa.Amat jarang sekali sesuatu taktikal tak relevan jika dimainkan kelompok pemain yang betul , tak kisahlah ialaTotal Football , calssic 4-4-2, Samba Football , European samba , Negative/anti football dengan counter attack dan banyak lagi. Holland dengan falsafah total football pernah terkeluar awal dari Euro malah tak layak World cup bila tidak dimainkan oleh kelompok yang betul dengan mengambil kira kemampuan pemain utk bermain sesuatu sistem atau terpaksa membuat sistem baru untuk seorang dua pemain.

Pemain dalm Tiki taka perlu sedia:



bermain dalam energy dan intensiti yang tinggi

berupaya swap positioning atau berada di 2/3 chanel atau hole.

Mempunyai vision dan imiginasi yang bagus



Memiliki agility dan skil individu yang tinggi kerana sistem ini biasanya dimainkan pemain yang majority memilki saiz fizikal kecil (pusat graviti rendah) kerana pemain dalam kategori ini lebih lincah/agile.

Tapi kenapa Tata Martino yang rekod dia lebih proven berbanding Guardiola (hari pertama dia menjadi manager Barca) dan Tata juga lebih baik rekod dari Tito dalam arena pengurusan tapi gagal?? Kerana dia diserahkan satu core /pusat kuasa tiki taka yang semakin aging.



XAVI INIESTA - Aging

Fabregas - Tak konsisten

Song - No idea???

Alcantara - sold to Bayern.



3. Ego Del Bosque



Seleksi 25 men squad Spain paling questionable sebab del Bosque ada ramai pilihan. Membawa pemain yang out of form seperti Torres dan meninggalkan Negeredo , even Soldado patut masuk kalau kualiti seperti Torres yang ada boleh make the cuts. Drop berberapa pemain seperti Jesus Navas yang sebelum ini memang shape changer mereka semasa World Cup bila diperlukan. Tidak memabawa pemain seperti Isco dan tetap berpegang kepada Barca Trio + Alonso di tengah. Menjadikan Iker sebagai first choices dikala pemain itu bukan no.1 di Real Madrid. Full of respect to Ier tapi De Gea atau Reina even Diego Lopez deserve more.



4. Diego Costa ??



Diego Costa bukan type of tiki taka striker. Dia adalah central striker yang stay dalam zonal sendiri dan menanti servis sekerap yang boleh. Berbeza dengan torrres villa di masa prime torres , dia suka mencari chanel yang lain daripada kekal di satu zon . Torres tahu bila masa dia patut lari dari kawasan tengah dan pergi ke chanel lain untuk memberi laluan kepada pemain lain menggunakan laluan itu .

Ini menghalang fluid attacking football. Contohnya Jordi Alba sangat terhad peluang untuk masuk ke atas , begitu juga david silva. Bila Torres bermain , Spain lebih selesa sharing the channel kerana kemamouan Torres untuk membaca pattern serangan dan menunggu/ bersedia di tempat yang betul sama ada di kanan , kri atau tengah. Tapi finishing torres sangat menghampakan.



5. No Game Changer



Torres seringkali dimasukkan bila Costa buntu . Tapi relevankah ini? Torres bukanlah game changer seperti dia yang dulu. Bagi saya pemain seperti Negredo , Jesus Navas , Mata , Cazorla adalah game changer sebenar . namun del bosque lebih memilih Torres. Even David Villa saya rasakan lebih layak untuk menjadi deputy Costa dengan option yang ada.



6. No leadership /general di Pertahanan.



Mungkin pemain seperti Puyol akan dirindui. Pique dan Ramos pemain yang bagus tapi mereka berdua tak sebising Puyol bila dipadang. Leadership seperti Puyol amat diperlukan walaupun sekadar di bangku simpanan. Mereka perlukan seorang general dan commander dalam pasukan.



Kesimpulan saya , tiki taka akan sentiasa relevan , cuma ia memerlukan right player dan right team.Dalam erti kata lain, Spain cuma kehilangan golden generation yang sangat luar biasa.Amat jarang sekali sesuatu taktikal tak relevan jika dimainkan kelompok pemain yang betul , tak kisahlah ialaTotal Football , calssic 4-4-2, Samba Football , European samba , Negative/anti football dengan counter attack dan banyak lagi. Holland dengan falsafah total football pernah terkeluar awal dari Euro malah tak layak World cup bila tidak dimainkan oleh kelompok yang betul dengan mengambil kira kemampuan pemain utk bermain sesuatu sistem atau terpaksa membuat sistem baru untuk seorang dua pemain.

Pemain dalm Tiki taka perlu sedia:



bermain dalam energy dan intensiti yang tinggi

berupaya swap positioning atau berada di 2/3 chanel atau hole.

Mempunyai vision dan imiginasi yang bagus



Memiliki agility dan skil individu yang tinggi kerana sistem ini biasanya dimainkan pemain yang majority memilki saiz fizikal kecil (pusat graviti rendah) kerana pemain dalam kategori ini lebih lincah/agile.

Rickie Lambert: Has been reflecting on World Cup exit


Rickie Lambert: Has been reflecting on World Cup exit




Rickie Lambert concedes he will have mixed emotions when England’s World Cup journey ends against Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday.


Defeats to Italy and Uruguay mean they go into the game playing purely for pride, with Roy Hodgson’s side unable to progress in the competition.


Lambert, who confirmed a move to Liverpool from Southampton before departing for Brazil, came on as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Uruguay on Friday.


Despite sharing in the disappointment of England’s exit from the World Cup, the striker is keen to take some comfort from representing his country at a major tournament and has targeted an improved performance against Costa Rica.


"It's a difficult scenario to be in, everyone's disappointed about what's happened and the fact that we've got (just) one more game left," said Lambert.


"But we've got to be professional and we've got to give our best and get three points to finish on a high against Costa Rica.


"It's been the best experience of my career and probably the worst experience at the same time.


"It's always difficult being an England fan and getting knocked out, but this time being involved is devastating to get knocked out at an early stage.


"It was probably the worst moment of my career when the final whistle went and we were knocked out of the World Cup.


"It was horrible. Maybe I might look back in years to come and think 'I've played in a World Cup', that will live with me forever. But I can't remember any moments that are as bad as that."
