It was, mku. For sure.

Goal.com isn’t staffed by real journalists in most cases, Jason, and trust me….even real journos make errors of the most boneheaded variety. I can’t begin to tell you some of the howlers papers have tossed off in the States.

“Pellegrini Can Do The Job
Vicente del Bosque, the coach of the Spanish national team, has expressed his confidence in Mauricio Pellegrini’s ability to lead Real Madrid back to the top. The former Blancos boss has even gone as far as to dub the Chilean as “the most brilliant overseas coach over the last few years”..”

yeah… that was from goal.com. they just called him “Mauricio Pellegrini”… how do they have jobs?!?!?

I thought it was a strange sub as well. I’d say he was wasting time but he still had another sub left so that doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Imo it was just his way of saying that Pedro and/or the other kids will play a bigger role next season.

@OhYes

To be fair, who was gonna come off for him? With 2 goals on the board an attacking sub woulda been a strange one, that said…Guardiola subbed on Pedro!! he could have easily subbed Messi/Eto’o/Xavi for the last minute of the game to let Bojan at least taste the grass.

Aww Bojan was sad that he didn’t get to be in the CL final.

I can understand. He did play in a bunch of the group stage games, though.

Henry is the one that seems to like helping out the kids the most.

Especially Bojan. You can’t say his goal in the Copa del Rey final didn’t stink of Henry.

Xavi has played about 196 games for spain and barca over the last 3 seasons. I dont know how much longer he can do i without rest and rotation, especially considering the increased games we'll play next season, and the fact that after that is a world cup.

I’ve seen Ribery play a fair amount and I think he is a great finisher. I think he can potentially score 20+ goals on LW, but more than that, he will create plenty of goals. Henry creates plenty of goals, but Ribery is more explosive, more direct and will not mess around like Henry does sometimes on the wing. I really think if Henry was to leave and Ribery was to come (not saying they can’t be on the same team, just hypothetical), he would probably surpass the production of Henry. That’s the only player I can say would fill Henry’s shoes and then some. Everybody else is blah.
