UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum

Sneakers? Really Pep, Luis?

Every September UEFA holds this two-day forum for a select group of managers to come together and discuss a variety of football issues, get shit-faced, and talk smack about the other managers. Or so I speculate. This year’s forum is being held right now in Nyon, Switzerland, and is being chaired by UEFA’s coaching ambassador, Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Daily Drool: Lars Unnerstall

Goalkeeper Lars currently plays for FC Aarau on loan from Schalke. He has represented Germany at the U20 and U21 level.

With Cristiano and Morata’s combined efforts to bring us three goals, we found ourselves through to the next round of the Champions League! It was a bittersweet victory, due to Jese’s injury, but also a record breaking one; the 9-2 aggregate score set a club record in European competition. (MGEF)

Concentracion, Arrival, Starting Line Up & More

“I know what you’ve been saying about me and I DON’T APPRECIATE IT.”

Repeat after me: “It’ll grow back. It’ll grow back.” That said, it’s going to look like hot buttered ass while it grows out (as anyone who has ever shaved their head will tell you. I can attest).

Two Trainings, A Presser & The Roadkill On Sergio’s Head

Top of La Liga and Kickin’ Ass in the Champions League

*Cue the dramatic music* Our last two matches… in two different competitions…our boys did great things and were rewarded BIG in return. El Smackdown Madrileno! Against Elche we took away the three points and did what?… Oh yeah, assumed our position at the top of La Liga! (with help from Real Sociedad, thank you!) Coming off of that high, it was time to get down to Champions League business. From what we saw on Wednesday, it looked like our boys not only wanted to do well, but also they were up for dishing out a spankin’! Ooh-wee kickin’ ass in Germany! With that, Real Madrid became the first team to score 6 away goals on German soil, in the history of the Champions League. (MisterChip) How’s that for a stat??
