Tune in, cules, to bask in the passion that is supporting FCB as we begin our defense of the treble and look to add the Spanish SuperCopa, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup to the resume of the greatest club in the world.
I'll talk about everything blue and red, from the crosses Dani Alves will be whipping into Ibra all season to why we feel proud every time we see Barca take the pitch. With our first competitive match 11 days away when we take our first step to 6 trophies in the Spanish SuperCopa against Bilbao, today I want to start in on the summer that's been.
Fresh off a glorious Roman victory and the unprecedented Triplete, my thoughts going into summer centered around the defense. Injury and suspension left us without Marquez, Alves, Abidal, and Milito; it was the versatility of Toure and Puyol as well as a truly beautiful performance by Sylvinho that overcame a stunned ManU. But it still left doubts as we'd been pretty much injury free all year, and heading into another long season I wanted to see some reinforcements. To be honest, I've never seen Maxwell nor Henrique play, so I won't lie to you and tell you how great they'll be. However, "In Pep We Trust" and they fit the profile of what we need, so I'm very pleased on that front. I'll be interested to see how offensively-minded Maxwell is, as we already possess one marauding wing-back in Dani "Get Back!" Alves. For now, adding two Brazilian internationals can't hurt the cause, and I'll reserve judgment until the season progresses a bit.
As for the big man, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, I'd like to shake Laporta's hand.
But I'll leave that, along with my opinion on future transfers, for next time.
Until then, keeping Bleeding the Blaugrana.
