How does one assess when a successful pathway was created?Or is just talent or genes? Portugal is a very small country, barely surpassing 10 Million people. There are cities in many countries – as Brazil, USA, not to mention the Asian countries where Football is not so popular – with more people than Portugal. Spain, just on the border is almost crossing the line of getting 50 Million people. France and Italy, the closest after Nuestros Hermanos have 68 Million… Read

With Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton) close to be confirmed as the 1st signing player for the next Season, it’s time for us to delve into United’s Shopping List for this Summer.

And the list must be filled with players with working standards at the top, that can deliver performances, experience, athleticism and serious improvements to the current squad. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these players arriving would… Read

The Grand Final for Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur finally came and… it was super disappointing! To start, I missed my Starting XI projections for a bit, specially for United. Ruben changed significantly, not from last Game to be honest, but from what it was the most common Starting XI at Europa League. A few surprises and some good news, with Yoro recovering to play this match. Then, Shaw played where Lindelöf has been playing and both Amad and Mount… Read

Football is such an emotional display, at times. How things move from one side to the other with such ease is amazing, and that’s the element that turns Football into the world’s biggest Sport! By nature, the score is not the largest.The truth is that there’s not a lot of goals.Unlike Basketball, where the scores regularly surpass the 100 mark per Game, in Football an average of 2 to 4 goals per match is not a bad outcome most of… Read

In the Football world, much like in any business, a clear and structured plan is fundamental for long-term success. Yet, it is rare. Not one, but many Clubs and Academies operate without one, relying solely on short-term decisions or gut feelings. Recently, as Seasons are ending in Europe, I was analyzing the number of Coaches at Liga Portugal.An astonishing average of 2.2 Coaches per Club, with one specific Club having 5 (!) different Coaches during this Season, and another 2… Read

Another loss. Another disappointment. Another weak performance. There are elements that seem kind of cross-cut in the entire Season, as one should expect, probably. But, the inconstancy the team is showing is the only consistent thing this Season. Understanding the context, we clearly know that everyone’s mind is on the Europa League Final, and that with it in mind, a lot of rotation has been done in the recent past. Therefore, one must assume that the results were going to… Read

One of the most important aspects in the Game, for me. Simply as that. However, this concept has been generalized to other parts of the field, or even grew from those roles. And rightly so. Because, if we think about some roles in the field, mainly the Holding Midfielders, they’re role responsibilities involves a significant amount of balance and prevention capacities. There’s no coincidence that a great number of successful coaches have a background as a Holding Midfielder, even if… Read

First of all, my apologies. For some reason I’m still yet to discover, I thought the first Game would be in Manchester, and the 2nd Leg of this Semi-finals would be played in Bilbao, Spain. Therefore, when 2 days ago, I saw the post of Manchester United’s Instagram Account saying “Next Stop – Spain” I knew I just made a mistake. Therefore, I’m sorry for my lapse. Writing about this Game isn’t an easy task. It wasn’t as spectacular as… Read

One way match! It’s fair to say this. Without a brilliant performance from Al Jazira, but with the right mentality to take the points from this match. This was a fun match to see some upcoming talents, as both teams displayed a few younger players, at key positions! For example, both Al Wasl Centre-Backs were born in 2008 (age category allows the use of players born until 2007), or Al Jazira had 1 CB and 2 Midfielders also younger. It’s… Read
