Tito Vilanova
When Pep Guardiola announced a step-down as a coach of Barcelona, there were fan poll asking who should be the next FCB coach. I voted Vilanova without looking at any other choices. Yes, Tito is the one (and probably the only one) I trust to be the next Barca coach. Barcelona played a very unique style of football, which is very rare in other leagues. In order to continue the beautiful style, we need someone who fully understands the style of Tikki-Taka. Vilanova has been Pep's assistant since his first year at Barcelona. Throughout the 4 years of success, he must've learned and understand the style of the team, fully. Tito is the coach that was nominated by Guardiola, which means Pep must put a lot of trust in him. I don't want any other coaches to change and ruin our football. I believe Tito can lead Barca to a successful year once again, but who knows, only time will tell. As of now, "In Tito, We Trust."
Alex Song
Last season, I watched about 80% of Arsenal matches, and I can say that Alexander Song is a very young and talented player. His style will fit with Barca's easily. No wonder why there are so many rumors about his transfer for the past week. Although Song is a very good player, I think buying him might not be a good idea after all. Firstly, just look at our midfield, they are considerably perfect. Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets, and Thiago are perfect. Even B player like Sergei Roberto can also play with the team easily. So frankly, there will be no space for Alex Song. He'll have to spend most of his time on the bench, which wouldn't be a nice thing. Unless if he's okay with that, then welcome. I love to see more about Alex Song, he should prove himself this season that he can play in Barca without problems. And next year, when Xavi is getting very old, we might turn our faces to him once again. Anyhow, I'm not the manager of the club, so I'm not the one who makes the decision. Although I think he'll spend most time on the bench, I'd still be happy if I wake up tomorrow and see a headline confirm that Song is coming to Barca.
The Barca Strike Force
Guess what! Villa is back. This is a really happy news for all Barca fan. I have to admit that part of last season's lack of league title came from Villa's injury. Let me just wrap this, if Villa can return his form like when he newly arrived Barcelona, joining with Messi and Alexis, it will be a nightmare to all the defenders. I also hope that Pedro and Afellay will also be a good substitute for Barca's goal tally. Although I have to admit that I was pretty upset with Pedro's performance during preseason games. And Messi? No answers needed, he will surely score the sh*t out of his record once again. I hope that we can make a new generation of 3 strikers like "Messi-Eto'o-Henry" or "Messi-Villa-Pedro" once again.
Anyway, Barca will start their league this Sunday night. Follow by Joan Gamper Trophy against Sampdoria on Tuesday. Then the first of the Spanish Super Copa on Thursday against Real Madrid. By that time, we should be able to see the starting of Vilanova's performance and the ability of the Strike Force.
Visca el Barça!
