The first 20 minutes, and the last 60 minutes, and the last 60 minutes, the first 20 minutes Barcelona boasted it. Even if, yes, the first goal was from Paris, but still, I mean from Mula, but still they boasted it. They had control of the game. And even when the own goal went in, you would still see that Barcelona was like, we can take this. After 20 minutes, what happened next is not even football history anymore. It's a mockery on the Catalan's because they just disintegrated. Clinically, they were outplayed by Bayern Munich. The goal by Kymitch, and we were talking about it, about Davies, Alfonso Davies. He made Semedo look like some secondary football, and he's one of the best footballers in the world. Not only that, fine, he has the flair Davies that he cut through and he passed on Semedo, but let's look at what Piquet did when he saw that Davies was coming. Did he close him down? He actually stood and looked at him, so much so that Davies had the chance to pass the ball to a Kymitch to score. A fullback to a fullback. So, my frustrations are the recruitment. Okay, someone needs to go into that team and unfortunately Kiki Setien has been sacked already. So, someone needs to go into that team and if it's Pochettino who's going to go into that team, if it's any other manager, first of all these six players agree to say that all of you lot are above 32 years old. You're not at the prime anymore. You are the prime in this club, but you're not the prime in world football. Yes, you won a ball on top. Yes, you are a true Vidal. Yes, you are a general PK, you've won the world cup, you've won the Champions League, the club world cup, whatever it is, but at the end of the day, everyone has a day to say, you know, I'll hang on my boots. So, can we conclusively say that, you know, it was a bad day in the office for Barcelona team that has dominated European club football for quite long. They have won titles in between, you know, Lionel Messi has been a mainstay, you know, arguably the best player in the world as you speak right now. Of course, I'll debate in terms of comparison to him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, but majority of course can give him that edge over the Portuguese international. Can we say it was their bad day in the office? Were they complacent or Bayern were just too good? I think that just sums up their whole season. They've been pretty much the same, but this time they met a team which really hurt them in Bayern Munich. Barcelona, Bayern was just superb yesterday. They looked at a hurting animal and they decided to go at them with everything they've got. And Barcelona just couldn't handle it. When you look at the players, especially the guys over 32, they are the ones who are making a lot of mistakes. We have an edge of Barcelona players last night, it was around 28-29. So edge is catching up with them. You look at the mistakes Busquets was making and receiving the ball, he just looked out of it and they played against that, they won it in 2015 and they are still playing in 2018. But when you look at the other clubs in Europe, they are bringing new blood, you know, they are changing. You know, the last time Barcelona played Bayern, the one which Messi went past Bateng, Davis wasn't there, Gimich wasn't there. You know, Gnabri wasn't there, Bayern has brought in new blood to replace the older guys and people thought that Bayern would be done after Robin and Ribery left, but look at the new blood they've brought in and they also have son in next season. Barcelona hasn't done that. They still want PK to start all the games, Busquets, Alba and you have to admit this is the end of an era. And they need to set their recruitment right and replace these big players with other young players who can go for it the same way that they did. Rum tactics by Barcelona tactician yesterday, we have seen also Erika Bidalouis in charge of Barcelona's, their TD, a technique called director of football at the Camp Nou has been sucked following last night results. Rum tactics because we saw players who ought to have given, you know, regular playing time, the first team plays, getting bed, Anthony Griezmann was supposed to start in last night's clash. What happened? Rum tactics because Barcelona had put up a system of 402 yesterday whereby Messi and Suarez are the main strikers. But they still wanted to play the Tikataka game which require a lot of possession and not speed. Now, one thing that Bayern Munich and we can also say that also there are few errors that Bayern Munich made. Yesterday Bayern Munich were playing at a highline and that highline is going to be exploited by either Leon or Manchester City. I can guarantee you that whichever team goes through they're going to exploit it. Yesterday they played a highline so much so that you had Suarez and you had Leon and Messi left with only kymik behind. Not even the other defenders but only kymik but the runs going forward, the passes, the long passes that were created a swift counter attack were not there. They did not exploit it. They only exploited it once and Suarez missed the header. Actually the ball went away. If that was Kevin De Bruyne passing that ball to Sergio Aguero I'm telling you that is going to be a goal any day against Bayern Munich. So the highline is something that Barcelona did not pick up when Bayern Munich played against Chelsea. So again tactically for an attacking point it was bad. For a starting player point Antoine Griezmann came in second half and made a difference in that team. I believe Griezmann's pace would have worked very well against Bayern Munich but Suarez didn't have the same pace he had when he was in Liverpool. He didn't have the same pace he had four years ago. So are you trying to tell me that you'll give Honest to a 33-year-old Luis Suarez because he has taken co-finishing like Lewandowski. But you're looking at a game where you're trying to catch up. That means you need to run more. You need to pace the defence. You need to press more. They didn't have it. And that is where I was angry. Felipe Coutinho the Brazilian international scoring against his former employers and not celebrating. He came in as a substitute. We've seen the transfer news revolving around his move from Bayern. At Bayern on loan or he was sold permanently on loan from Barcelona. And I think some teams chasing for his services. There were rumour that Liverpool might be reacquiring him which is not possible considering where he will fit in. The attacking department of Liverpool is already sorted. Arsenal are chasing for his signature. Was he the best player last night? I think when you look at the best player for Bayern you could have like eight, nine names. He was the best substitute. You even look at Koma and came on as a sub in this. He's pacing up and down the whole pitch and look at Hernandez as sister even. But Coutinho came on and I think he had something to prove against Barcelona because his time there on loan he still has to go back there. It will be a weird affair but his time there people really didn't like him. They say that he doesn't have to be there. He doesn't need to be there. He went to Bayern and what Mula discovered is that he's actually a squad player but he comes on and he still produces quality against his team. It was just amazing and show you that this Bayern team knows how to get the best out of their players because everyone who comes into the pitch, everyone who plays, beat a substitute everyone makes a difference and plays the same way that the team has been playing since the first minute. I was a rookie in 2014 just getting into the dynamics of football commentary. I remember Brazil against German 7-1 thrashing. I was in our radio studios doing sort of analysis to someone who had done football commentary for Wild Bernardo Kumanda. I remember watching the game of last night and equating it to what happened during German Brazil. Tomas Mula stated the way he did set last night. He was again, tactical brainlessness. I mean, tactically if you look at the way Germany had set up against Brazil, Brazil again coming back with December Tikataka game and that's something German teams have made sure that they can conquer it. And I'm very optimistic if Manchester City go through today Pep has to change that whole idea of Tikataka possession with Manchester City. He has to counter with Bayern Munich because that is the same thing Germany did against Brazil. And also even when you were talking about Koteiniu, I wanted to add to what you had said, recruitment. So when Messi was aging, when Suarez was aging, what did they do? They went for Griezmann and Koteiniu. Where are you going to fit them? You're paying Suarez and you're paying Messi in excess of £250,000 per week. Where are you going to fit these other one-class players who want to be paid equally because they believe they're better? So you have a school that has its full of stars but you can't put them anywhere. And one of your stars that you disregarded and said that he was not fit to play the Catalan way, scored twice against you yesterday. It was a shambles. Shambles indeed. Now tonight Manchester City have been hiking with some of my friends, football friends, friends over my Dalians for City to win this particular title and even cost a surprise against Bayern Munich. They have another peculiar assignment tonight against French giants Lyon. How strategically can Pep go past his opponents tonight to meet an equally huge task in Bayern Munich? It seems to get into the finals. It's simple for Pep. He has to make sure that he closes down the midfield. The midfield of Dubois, a very good midfield workplace for Olympique Lyon. The link up play between Memphis Depay is what made Juventus go down. Close down that link up and there is no attacking for Olympique Lyon. Why? Because they play a 4-3-3 system. If the ball can't get to the three forwards up front, there is no way they're going to do long shots from the midfield. Why? Because you have this buffering of the likes of De Bruyne, of the likes of Silva who will buff even the defenders. The other thing is, if you're going to play a counter attack against Lyon, it has to be a sharp one. Because again, Manchester City are known to be playing a highline and playing the ball from behind. Something that also Barcelona had a problem with. So statistically Maxwell, you would say to your friends that yes, Man City will pick the game today. On paper they are the stronger team. But tactics have shown that even the smallest of teams like Atalanta had a chance in this competition. Wow, my goodness. And talking about Atalanta, you know I've been watching all these games. Again, it's French Money Bucks Paris Saint-Germain. Complacence by Atalanta leaving one meal until around 90th minute. Then Bayern... I think we're getting used to Bayern following the news that happened last night. PSG coming from behind to win and take it home. The combination of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, is it on another level world-class players? You can say so. Yeah, they are both world-class players and their combination is world-class. But I think in the case of Atalanta for them to be chasing the ball for that time, they really got tired and you know, they just started belting it everywhere outside. And PSG, they knew they were in trouble so they imposed quality. But we got goals from someone who we didn't think would score for them. Makinos. Makinos and Chubo Morty. A former Stoke player. I think that now plays in championships. Satsge Nabri, sorry. Satsge Nabri used to play for Westbro. He didn't even get chances to play at Westbro. Yesterday he scored against Barcelona again. And a good goal. And a good goal. At the Champions League quarter-final. It's amazing. And also you look at Neymar and Mbappe. They were very involved in the game. Neymar was very active in the game. Unlike the Bayern Barcelona game, the Barcelona game where you see Messi sometimes when he loses the ball, he just looked at the other guys like Garrett. Neymar comes in deep. Fights for the ball gets it. Drives it for tries to fight Mbappe or whoever. And they actually fought it. And it was hard for Atalanta. But Paris and Jamma played well. And they deserve the comeback. And let's see how they fare on the competition. Atletico Madrid. Good old days for Diego Simeone. Aman in black suits all through. Agon. Is he supposed to live atleti? Get a new challenge elsewhere? No, I think he should stay white. He has the capability of rebuilding that squad. He did it once before. To a point whereby they got so far to the Champions League. They have a lot of depth in this squad. So it's developing now that depth into fast team football. Again, you can have the best depth. Atletico has got a world-class goalkeeper in Oblak. They are attacking department. I think he's a little bit like Alvaro Morata. But they have Diego Costa. And equally fantastic striker. They are midfield. Koke. Yes, also. And even Koke had a chance to score that night. Jau Felix played a very good game. As a substitute. No, it begs the question. Are the selections of these managers, especially Spanish managers in the Spanish team, look at the way the Real Madrid was bowed out by Manchester City. Look at the way Atletico Madrid was bowed out. Look at the way Barcelona. And look at the main concern. It's starting 11. Is it now reputation versus what you can do on the pitch? Is it that you're going to start Suarez because of the reputation and leave out Griezmann? Is it that Jau Felix was not good enough to start that game at Atletico Madrid? So it begs the question again. Is Spanish football declining? Because this will be the first time there is no Spanish football in the same news for the last 15 years. You look at Bayern City. If Pep doesn't know Agüero has done everything in the Premier League but if he feels Jesus is the right one for this game, he plays him not looking at reputation, TV or anything. He plays the best player for that particular match. Kevin De Bruyne is here of match influence tonight. He's been excellent in English Premier League this particular season and I think he's a contender for PFA despite the fact that City didn't win the title. But how of match importance, of match significance, how resourceful is KDB tonight against Olympiakili? And Musa Dembele coming against Musa Dembele who has been equally sterling. I think De Bruyne for City is the quality on the ball. The quality of ball he produces, his final ball, his crossing, his positioning when he knows where to receive it and how it talks to the people around him. Constant communication telling him to make the run and he sees things that an average attacking mid won't see. Just like he said yesterday, Semedo had a ball played through to him when Bayern was playing a highland but the quality made for Suarez was very quiet when higher than Suarez. If you had KDB with whoever, Jesus or anyone making a run, that would have been a goal because he gives the proper quality to the right player and that's how they've done it the whole season. Again, the quality of Dembele moving forward and I talked about him, Dubwa, that link up with Memphis Depay is something that Manchester City needs to be very careful especially down the right wing, especially down the right wing. Those run-ins, those cut-ins because what Dembele can do, Dembele can run straight at you, can run towards the wing and even can cut through from the wing. So that's something again the likes of Kyle Walker and Mandy have to be careful because again Dembele likes switching wings. So that's something they have to be very careful about tonight. Timovana, he had a stunning season with RB Leipzig and he decided not to feature for them in Champions League football because he has already signed a deal with Chelsea. Chelsea are not in top in this elite club competition right now. He has actually started training with the Blues. Is he regretting considering what the little known side from Jam and Bid to the opponents getting into now semifinal stage? Should he have played? I believe if it was for the pandemic and the change in transfer policy in terms of the transfer dates of the transfer market, he would still be playing for Leipzig. If the transfer we are in August, so the deadline would have been August 30th. So if Chelsea then would have made and said you know what, we have made an offer for you and this Champions League could have been played in its regular time in April-May. So it's with regards to ineligibility after signing for Chelsea. And also what the pandemic did to the dates again. But I believe if it was a normal season, Timovana would have played and would have been the contenders to win the Champions League. I do believe. Do you still believe that Upe Mekano will stay at Leipzig come next season considering how important he's been, how pillar he's been to inside? He looked amazing when they played at Leipzig where he was carrying the ball forward and you know that attracts suitors. You know you speak of now the situation at Barcelona and they have to really go for someone of that quality. And you know when the big clubs come knocking at Leipzig okay they've been playing when they play real well but when clubs like Madrid, Barcelona really come and offer you the big contract to be a crucial part in the stem, the big defender. I think he won't refuse but when he makes it and goes to those clubs you need to replicate the same quality, the same leadership and the same strength on the ball that he's shown at Leipzig at the other clubs. Yeah. Wow. What's our comprehensive Champions League gravy in dates? So away from that, it matters transfers but we tired of talking about gossip. I think we're going to speak about the done dates. William Off to Arsenal from Chelsea football club, now joining David Luiz who also did the same. I think Arsenal and Chelsea have had this bromance in terms of you know players featuring for both sides. I think Ash Nicole did the same. Ash Nicole who else? Nikolas Anelka? Anelka has done the same, yes. This French defender, William Gallas did the same as well. Peter Cech, Peter Cech, Olivia Girou. Olivia Girou. So I think it's a long standing friendship. I think for William the move was because of the play time that he was not getting at Chelsea. Again with the likes of Odi coming through Hudson Odoisori coming through with the likes of Mason Mount coming through. With the attacking prowess that they have, Pulisic putting in a performance of the season that will guarantee him a starting position next season, whatever comes may. So for William it was more of more play time play and I believe that Teta has seen an attacking threat in William for him to bring him to Arsenal. So there are many critics that say that Arsenal is a place whereby ex-Chelsea players go and retire. But to be perfectly honest William is still atop of his game and I believe he has a lot to give to Arsenal. You believe so as well? I also believe William is a quality player. He is on free kicks, he is quite good. We haven't seen Arsenal scoring that many free kicks in the past season. And also dribbling and going with the ball and also his wisdom in the Premier League his experience has been there for 7 years and also has played in the Champions League. So he is a good signing and we can't wait to see what he is. If you look at the likes of Bloomberg when Lugan went and Hondry went and Walcott came in, did they ever replace that beginning Walcott? Not the Walcott in Everton but did they ever replace Walcott to be perfectly honest? Did you watch the final of United against Arsenal in 2005 where Paul Scholes lost a pennant? I think you must have watched and Ken now is coming through the ranks he was still but comparing those quotes I think he was in for one, two, five and still passionate about football in for one back then and you see comparing the quotes for both sides and you know what we are seeing nowadays you see Antonio Reyes you know Numbag, Thierry Onri, Dennis Beckham in the midfield while United has Paul Scholes, of course David Beckham on the flanks Ryan Geeks, Wayne Rooney now, Rude Vanistelry but look at all those great sides you said in the mix of Chelsea when Lampardo there Ayn Robin was there Makelele was there look at those great sides they know something called evolution these teams evolved at some point the main state players moved away and they gave chance to youth they gave chance to unknown entities to come in and play the beautiful game now that's the challenge Barcelona needs to do right now they need to say you know what if we don't win the La Liga next season it's fine let's build a squad just like Leipzig let's build a squad that can challenge in the next two seasons because they need two seasons of a transfer a proper one to overhaul that team and by the way I didn't say this on this particular show I'm fond of interviewing man United fans on this particular platform Maro Nawa is a coincidence but it just happens accidentally anyway I'm talking about United tribulations Michael Zook Borussia Dortmund director revealed that you know he's called Jadon Sancho he will stay he's not leaving signal he do not back then that's fine if you'll stay let's go for the next person Kai Habat no no not Kai Habat Kai Habat with his Kings Lecoma no no not even the position with the whole idea of Chelsea always being around that whole transfer saga leave it alone look this Douglas Kosta who's readily available getting a news that Ben right? yes so this Douglas Kosta we can go for Bernadeski has always said that he wants to leave a fantastic player so there are so many players that we can go after at the moment look at the likes of Leipzig there's a guy called David who we can go after the idea is not to mainstay premium names it's tactics we're avoiding the likes of Jack Grilish Jack Grilish is still a book James Madson but you see now that's the thing the problem with Manchester United English mentality English mentality with Manchester United is that once you go for a big name and you miss out on the big name you obviously have to go for another big name to replace the big name and not even to replace the fact that he'll be tactically brilliant in the team but now they need to understand that Sancho has been a rumour since the beginning of Covid so you'd say that and it will still be a rumour till the end of December they need to close down on a player that equally can produce the same and yes there are a few names out there but even if they're not well known names look at the likes of Atalanta look at the likes of Leipzig look at the likes of those teams look at the likes of the teams that are now in the Europa go to Sevilla look at those players look at a player that you can mould very well to the system to play your game big names don't work already you're getting linked with Harry Wings an equally fantastic player that would bolster your midfield to assist Paul Pogba but we told him allow him to live well there was also the idea of going for Declan Rice western united again that's a brilliant player if he cannot get I don't think he's overrated he's developing into a solid maikokarik stroke pool schools of the modern era you give him another two seasons you cannot expect him to link in right now and give you goals give him two more seasons so if you're not going to get Harry Wings is Declan Rice if you're not going to get Declan Rice go outside again this whole idea of relying on Premier League players because they know how to play in the Premier League game go and look for adaptive players players will come in and adapt what Gabriel Jesus came from but that way to Manchester City is a game play Brian Kimani mounting a lot of pressure on me because time is not on our side we need to leave the set and pave way for another show but Ken you are parting shot in terms of Blaise Matuidi off to Inter Miami too early to live or just looking for you know greener pastures he needs a new challenge he hasn't won the Champions League but Matuidi is a great player he's featured for France at some point people comparing him with Pogba he was an integral player in the World Cup winning squad even in their Euros squad that freed the final he's a very great player he's played a lot in Europe and maybe now he needs a new challenge he'll be the star at Inter Miami he'll be a new name in the MLS everyone will want to see he'll just have a time to relax because it isn't as competitive if you think about the American football if you think about the version of the Champions League the Copa lip under dollars how many people win the Champions League and go and win the Copa lip under dollars it's something unprecedented and something you can do thanks gentlemen for coming through Ken Andrew alongside Joe Saina the usual Carl Priss on the show coming most of the Saturdays from 2-3 to give their insights on what they think about international football major fixtures and you know the trending headlines always an honor coming through thank you and Joe don't shout tonight Laid man City loses against Lyone of崙 we shan't let the mess pain next to your win virus panic in Kenya to combat the pandemic Stay safe let's make buck Subscribe
