Experts of last DAILY TOPIC: Which manager can coach the games like a magician with super power sometimes?
@Đaiveed ♥: For me I would choose jurgen klopp ? he's quite an intelligent and funny coach he's relationship with his players is highly high and he rarely haves problems with the players or the club... His style. of playing is quite entertaining!!! ? ? ? obviously that's why the Team is really good both home and away?! and basically Liverpool's performance has been quite impressive! and it's all thanks to jurgen klopp the magician and one of the Best coaches in the World! ?
@Mecurial: Josep Pep Guardiola
He's definitely the coach with super powers. He wasn't well known until he started coaching Barcelona and he did magnificently winning the treble during his 4 years tenure as a Barcelona coach. His passing style popularly known as "tiki taka" was very effective which frustrated the opponents and confusing them till the ball is in the net. After his years as a Barcelona coach, he decided on a move to Bayern Munich winning the Bundensliga and the cup. He moved on to Manchester City where sadly he hasn't won any Champions League title since he left Barcelona. Still the super powerful coach for me?
@nenye: I'll pick Mourinho
He is not just a magician, he's a wizard. People criticize his 'parking the bus' tactics but that's how he proves his defensive ability.
When it comes to attack, you need to watch the second half at his derby at Etihad. I couldn't believe myself. No team this season has beaten ManCity from 2 goals down within 45mins.
In that match he used different tactics in one match proving he's ability to manage pressure... That's what you call a coach.
We are talking about a man that has no record of professional football yet he has conquered different leagues, UCL and Europa using different teams.
At times I wished he was a professional footballer when he was younger he'd probably be on FIFA best 11 if not becoming world best a couple of times.
In ManU, he hasn't spent as much as Pep but yet he has proven to beat Pep with his expenditure. Imagine Pogba played in the first leg against City.
More so, he promotes young promising lads, look at Tominay
MOU as I have noticed so far is a goal getter. Any competition he sets his mind to win he ensures he does. See last season's Europa and lookout for this season's FA.
Mou is a football warlock...
@kocbdmst: For me it was the 1999 champions league final between Manchester utd and Bayern when man utd was trailing one nil and 3 minutes to play .my friend supports Bayern and confident that the game is over but I told it's not till the final whistle is blown and suddenly the Red devils netted two goals in three minutes to claim trophy .Since then I became die heart fan of united and cannot even have another team to equal that affection.

3/4 of the players on this site don't much more than the names of Messi, CR7, and Salah...lol. It obvious from their posts they never played the game at any meaningful level, and don't actually understand the game they say they love. You have to understand the game to appreciate what the players, ALL players, not just CR7, Messi, and Salah do. There would be alot less snide, annoying, and generally ignorant posts, if some of the "fans" actually knew what they were talking about.

The fans shouldn't know every complicated things but should only know the basic things like different formations, positions, formats of a particular tournament etc for understanding the game Most of the fans even don't know what's high pressing, high line defending etc As I have seen alot of fans here only posting about a particular player and just post a meme etc But it's not necessary as long as you know the basic rules you can get the idea what is going on the field Even most of the fans just watch matches for Ronaldo and Messi etc and only big games like El Clasico which alot of people called them "Plastic Fans" As a football fans it's important to watch every match of your team and not just support one player but support the entire team As long as you know the basics it's fine but if you want to analyze the game more you should know the different tactics of a manager or a team and the style of play of a team like Team A is really a defensive teams and likes to play counter attack while team B loves aggressive and attacking football etc

There are two type of fans and that’s for sure. There are those who have played the game(like myself) and have to have a top knowledge of the rules of football and those that know very little about the rules,but just like watching games. All this is fair and square until someone who obviously knows little about the finer points of say the offside rules, yet still they are the loudest ones pretending that do know about these offside rules. If somebody claims they are a serous footfall supporter, and they go on to post gobbly gook, the real supporter has no business pointing out their obvious Discrepancies. If people are too lazy to learn the rules then that’s their business.

To me, I believe Football fans have to know everything about Football rules, tactics and skills. I am a Madrid fan and I always try to learn everything about football rules, tactics and skills so that a referee's decision shouldn't confuse or anger me. I always like arguing about football because am versed with football rules, tactics and skills. so Is always good for Football fans to know everything about football rules,tactics and skills so that they should not argue about certain decisions taken by the ref, be able to determine fouls and be able to appreciate good football.

What is passion ? it is something you have desired for I.e love . Therefore it is essential for such person to know the rules, and skills. why should a football fan not Know the simple rules that it is an offense to tackle from behind nor off side rules and football timing. Most clubs cries foils when games disfavor them. So they want to bend the rules. Many of our footballers are fond of breaking the rules but incite their fans against football authority. so It is essential to know the rules, the skills I the principles tactics of games. Ignorance is a disease. A sin, is a sin and it is punishable by referee's and football governing body.

Not really evergthing, but on rules and tactics?? they need to be more enlightened and grounded on those. you can't be a fan of a sport when you don't know the rules and tactics of the games(ie number of minutes played, number of players and number of substitutes being made in a game) at least knowing the rules and it's tactics would tell how good you can be in the sport but without game tactics you certainly can't work it out perfectly fine... for example soccer without knowing the rules tactics you can't play games skills too do matter but not a lot!!! some skills can be done on the pitch why some simply can't be done at all except in trainings and other sites!!! in my own idea if you know much about the rules and tactics and less about the skills it doesn't really matter but skills without rules doesn't make sense because without you knowing the rules you can't play because you simply don't know your rights and wrongs!! Thank You 😂

But ofc, just watching and supporting a team will be classified as being a wagonist, you just watch the club because you hear they're good and support them, but in truth you know nothing about football. this will be accepted by 'some' females who will just bring a team because they're husband is doing it, but don't actually know the game of football.. as a real fan, male or female, you want to know the rules and tactics and skills of the game to have a better understanding about your team, other teams and the overall game. you can relate to football questions and debate better and you'll better be able argue situations and back up points... knowing the sport and just watching it is totally different.. so I'd suggest if your a football fan, get to know the sport inside out for a better view and understanding of what's going on, so that you won't be classified as a 'plastic' fan
