Pique: ‘It is very hard to win at the Bernabéu, even though you guys have got used to it, it is much harder to win than you think. We have implanted our style for several years and we always apply it. It doesn’t matter where or who we play. I’m proud and happy to belong to this team. Very few teams can go to the Bernabéu and win like we have done. That makes us different’

Schuster, former Real Madrid coach: ‘Since the day of the incident with Casquero, I do not know what has happened with Pepe. It is something rare, something you cannot explain if you know him’
Schuster: ‘When Pepe puts on the shirt, he is a different guy. Jose Mourinho knows how to take advantage of these things, but sometimes he goes too far’
Schuster: ‘I do not need to say how good Pepe is, how a great person and professional he is, or that he has to be at Madrid. What he did was ugly, but this is all because we can watch everything that happens on the pitch. Migueli, Hierro, Ayala were players who hit hard in the past, but now we can watch everything’
Schuster: ‘As for El Clasico in general, there are some things that are hard to understand. Carvalho had not been playing in a long time, Altintop perhaps does not improve the team’s level and Pepe played again in midfield’
Schuster: ‘Barca have been playing in the exact same way since I left Madrid, but Madrid try to change things in every Clasico. There is one team which plays always the same every year and another who tries the impossible to win. When you change so many things everytime, you are taking too many risks’
– Getting home after a hard week at work, then reading how the Madrid-based press is starting to doubt Mou55555inho’s coward approach to football fills me with joy. I couldn’t be happier.
Florentino Perez signed The Portuguese Whiner last season with one very clear objective: Break Barça’s winning streak, whatever it took. Mr 5555pecial was given total control over new signings, staffing, training and even Madrid’s sporting structure. He was even allowed to trash Madrid’s history, betraying the club’s very principles of direct attacking football in search for trophies.
The truth is, not much has changed since. Barça are current Spanish La Liga champions. And Champions League champions. And Club World Cup champions. And Spanish SuperCopa champions. And European Champions. Barça, our Barça, the best team in football history, have beaten Mourinho’s gangsters 0-2, 1-3 and 1-2 at the Bernabeu in the process. Oopsy!!!
At this point, it seems clear Guardiola and his team have a clear psychological advantage. Whenever he faces Barça, Mou55inho The Whiner seems to suffer from mental Blaugrana diarrhea: A rare illness which forces the Portuguese manager to abuse defensive tactics, filthy tackles and vanish any shade of professionalism from his slaves – sorry, I meant players. This condition is specially evident in semi-human beings such as Pepe or Coentrao.
Fact: Since Guardiola took over as FCB coach back in 2008, he remains unbeaten at the Bernabeu with five wins and two draws. In your face. Kapoow.
Personally, I wish Florentino and his Portuguese Crybaby stay at Real Madrid for as long as possible. Beating Los Blancos has always been sweet but, since the Portuguese and Turkish invasion began at the Bernabeu, victory’s taste is even sweeter.
GRACIAS MOURINHO: WINNING AT THE BERNABEU HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY, YOU COWARD!!!!!
