i don't think they didn't run. They worked a lot, in my opinion, just were very imprecise and disorganised. is messi ill? he didn't run at all, that's true.

typical messi :)

and you need to keep in mind that their career is very short. it starts early and it ends early as well. so no need to be upset about your achievements compared to them. on the other hand they can be great inspiration for us all in our life because of their hard work, professionality, camaraderie :)

or they are just asked (by the club) to call mou their father.
especially now, when there seems to be some conflicts between mourinho and ozil.
perhaps ozil was asked to pretend that everything is OK.

it was embarrasing. not a good advert, and totally unnecessary.

Bitter One, I like :)
Also, I've just recently noticed that Morinho copies Pep's words in his press conferences, he started to use the same expressions as Pep. It's weird and maybe a sign that he is getting confused, or starting to lose his own identity (?)

For example before Madrid's Copa del Rey match, he said the following (Source: RM Official website):

"There will be a break for a week, but I'd rather we played because I like giving people what they want. People who love football would like to see the sport being played in the holiday season. The PLAYERS ARE ARTISTS that give people the show they want. ..."

"Granero has to keep working. He will play tomorrow; he'll get his chance. He always gives a SERIOUS PERFORMANCE, showcasing drive and personality. He is also a Madridista and I expect him to play a SERIOUS GAME."

There are Pep's usual words...

this is very sad.
also marcelo didn't shake hands with pique after the match. class act as well: http://www.marca.com/2011/12/11/futbol/equipos/re...

yeah.
and after reading all the comments on just this page, it is possible that this remark will do good to cuenca in the end, as a lot of his fans will hopefully send him all kinds of encouraging messages.

i surely wouldn't be happy if someone described me this way.
i think pep didn't want to be mean, but this sentence is a bit unfortunate.

and what happened in the supercup then?
