THE NEW PRESIDENT OF BARCELONA IS JOAN LAPORTE.

 The Spanish giants Barcelona have elected a new president Joan Laporte , 7/3/2021 He s a former president of Barcelona in the year 2003/2010. 

 During that time he brought Pep Guardiola  as manager, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o and his time saw the introduction of Lionel Messi i the famous Barcelona jersey.

 But this time round it will not be easy as the club is in a mess financially  .

 But he had promised that he would convince Lionel Messi to stay at Barcelona.

WHO WERE BETTER B.B.C OR M.S.N.IN THE SPANISH LA LIGA?

  There is always a very big debate between football fans world  over as to who was a better strike force .

 Was t Real Madrid's famous B.B.C or Barcelona's M.S.N.

 While B.B.C were all from European countries  like Gareth Bale , Wales. Kareem Benzema  France.  and Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal.

 While M.S.N came from South American countries. Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. So let us see which group Europe or South America were better goal scorers.

 M.S. N from 2014 / 2017. In three years M.S. N scored a total of 364 three hundred and sixty four goals.

 B.B.C  from 2013 /2018 I five years B.B.C scored 439 goals.

No doubt M.S.N was far better then B.B.C.

 They were even better then R.H.E. Ronaldinho , Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o

DIEGO MARADONA WAS ONE OF A KIND ONLY.

 The Argentinean Diego Maradona was a rare type of a footballer Like Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, made millions of football fans  to love football, and so make the game more popular.

He was a showman if he was warming up, leading the team, playing jis grade of football , with his skills thrills and spills  he was a showman even when injured or did play acting. You just could not hate him.

LUIS SUAREZ HAS TERMINATED HIS CONTRACT WITH BARCELONA.

  The uruguayan striker  Luis Suarez has now gone and terminated his contract with Barcelona, which really had one more year to run..

 Now as he is already thirty three years old, he was not fitting into the plans of he new manager of Barcelona, Ronald Koeman.

 Luis Suarez joined Barcelona in the year 2014,from Liverpool.And he was a big part of he very famous strike force at Barcelona called M.S..N. Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, in fact his three were far better then Henry, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o.

 Luis Suarez was supposed to have joined Juventus in Italy, but the deal collapsed , as Luis Suarez had passed a Italian language test to make him eligible for a dual citizen, Uruguay and  a European  Union Passport., but unfortunately  it would come in late october, middle of the season..

 But he will  be joining the Spanish club Atletico Madrid, and Alvaro Morata  will be going out to Juventus on a year long loan.Luis Suarez will partner Diego Costa t Atletico Madrid.

MANCHESTER UNITED WANTED TO NUY ANSI FATI FORHUNDRED MILLION EUROS.

 Recently Barcelona  had said  that two clubs had made a bid for Ansu Fati from Barcelona.
 Now according to THE METRO, Manchester United had used  the services of the super agent Jorge Mendes, to try and broker a deal between Barcelona  and Manchester United, and Manchester United had even offered Barcelona a very huge sum of 100, one hundred million Euros, for the youngster.
  Barcelona president had said  that Ansu Fati was not at all for sale, as he will be the future star of Barcelona for the next fifteen years or so.
 But the winger Ansu Fati  does have a buy out clause, as it is compulsory  in Spain under the emplyment act to  have a buy out clause on each and every contract.
 The buy out clause  for the youngster is  171, one hundred and seventy one million Euros or 153, one hundred and fifty three million pounds.
 You must  remember  that he is still a teenager and not a adult as yet.
 But Barcelona  will introduce him slowly to the main team , like they did with Lionel Messi, as he gradually  replaced Ronaldinho.

IN THE YEAR 2008 BARCELONA WERE IN COMPLETE DISARAY But THEN THIS HAPPENED.

 Back in the year 2008 Barcelona were in complete disarray  and their manager Franck Raijkard , was looking lost  and was under immense pressure, he was then smoking much more also.
Then Barcelona had a meeting with the Barcelona board and along with Johan Cruyff, who was a former player as well as a manager at Barcelona in the 1990s.
 Now it was decided that Barcelona  would have  to have a new manager, and Johan Cruyff  , sugested  that Pep Guardiola should  be made  the manager, now Pep Guardiola  was the manager of Barcelona's B team, and they were playing then in the third tier, the other manager to chose from was Jose Mourinho. Pep Guardiola got the job.as he was the captain of Barcelona  under Johan Cruyff  in the 1990's. It was going to be a big gamble , as Pep Guardiola  did not have experience I the La Liga.
 But it was also decided  that both Ronaldinho and Deco,  should be sold as they were having late parties and coming drunk for training according to Alexander Help. Another fear  was tat these two  would very likely lead Lionel Messi in their way of night life and spoil his career.
 Now both Xavi Hernandez  and Andres Iniesta  , were already playing for Barcelona, Pep Guardiola , then promoted  Serge Busquets and Pedro Rodrigues  into the main Barcelona team.
 Now we know what Barcelona did in the four years Pep Guardiola  was manager, they won a total of 14, fourteen trophies ,  and  in 2009 they won the treble .
 And Sir Alex Ferguson said openly he was very much embarrassed  with the defeat to Barcelona in the 2009 final champion league match .They cut Manchester United to shreds.

WHEN RONALDINHO SLIPPED THROUGH THE FINGERS OF MANCHESTER UNITED.

 The Brazilan world cup winner of the year2002,Ronaldinho ad decided to leave his club P.S.G in France,s t ws facing financial trouble, tis was before the Qatar Royal family purchased P.S.G later on.
 Now the deal and personal terms were agreed with Ronaldinho, only the signature was missing.
 But so sure were the Manchester United players like  Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, they were all  excited.
But in football anything and everything can happen in a twinkle of a eye. Like this.
 Then Ronaldinho got a phone call from his god friend Joan Laporte , who had told Ronaldinho  that he ws going to stand for the presidency of Barcelona, and he wanted Ronaldinho ready to join Barcelona.
 This was a vey big shock for he Manchester United players, as the English  remembered that Ronaldinho knocked them out of the2002 world cup in Japan..

RONALDINHO DEMANDED A CLAUSE BE PUT IN HIS FLEMENGO CONTRACT.

 The Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho, which really means little Ronaldo, it was given to distinguish between Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazario.
 After Ronaldinho  had his contract   with Barcelona reduced and had him sold to the Italian giants A.C.Milan.
 The reason he was sold  by Barcelona, is as Ronaldinho and the other Brazilian footballer Deco, according to the former  Arsenal and Barcelona player Aleksander Help, said that Ronaldinho and Deco came fully drunk  during the morning training.
 Barcelona decided quickly enough  that enough is enough, and Ronaldinho was sold too A.C.Milan, as the Barcelona  board felt the influence of Ronaldinho could destroy little Lionel Messi , for ever.
 Even at A.C. Milan Ronaldinho, never stopped his party life., he had a fight with the Milan owner Sylvio Bersculoni..
 It is reported  by a team mate that he ,, Ronaldinho would leave  in his private jet to Cancun , to have late night parties on a Monday morning came back on  Friday to play  weekend games..
 Even  at Flemengo he insisted that a clause  should be added that allowed Ronaldinho could go out  to party twice a week.And as the club wanted him they agreed to this term as well.

IN THE YEAR 2004, RONALDINHO INTRODUCED A 17, SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD BOY TO KOBE BRYANT.

It was in the year 2004 that the famous basketball player Kobe Bryant had visited Barcelona, as he wanted to see the greatest footballer in the world then and he footballer was Ronaldinho, which means little Ronaldo, it was given in Brazil to distinguish between the two Ronaldo's in the Brazilian team. Ronaldinho told Kobe Bryant , that he was greatly mistaken, as he, Ronaldinho, said he was not the worlds best footballer at all. But then Kobe Bryant , wanted to know who then was the real best footballer in the World . So here Ronaldinho was very humble, to say this. Ronaldinho then went and brought a young 17, seventeen year old boy to meet Kobe Bryant. The 17, seventeen year old boy was Lionel Messi. Ronaldinho predicted to Kobe Bryant, that Lionel Messi was the worlds best footballer one day mark my word. Kobe Bryant asked Ronaldinho how can be so sure about this boy. Ronaldinho said I know him for four years , his speed, strength, dribbling assisting , composure , balance, vision on the pitch, and his nibble ballerina feet are all there to make him the worlds greatest footballer ever. We were very lucky as Ronaldinho was at his peak for five years and Lionel Messi, was a real good student I must say.

Made up entirely Argentina and Brazil Not a single player comes from Europe. 1) Lionel Messi. Argentina. 2) Diego Maradona. Argentina. 3) Ronaldo. Brazil. 4) Ronaldinho. Brazil. 5) Pele. Brazil.

EXACTLY WHY DID BARCELONA SELL RONALDINHO AND DECO.

The Spanish giants Barcelona have had many, many talented footballers at their club, like Lionel Messi , Ronaldinho and Deco to name a few . But exactly why did Barcelona really sell Ronaldinho and Deco.. The reason is simple here both of them according to Alexander Help , the Belarus footballer who had played for Arsenal as well as for Barcelona. Now he as come forward to say that both of these South American Brazilian born footballers would come for daily training quite drunk and smelling of spirit.. Barcelona then decided to act quickly they were really scared that Ronaldinho would go and eventually destroy Lionel Messi , as Barcelona knew he was too young and could be mislead with Ronaldinho and his drinking and his crazy parties late into the night. Now Lionel Messi is a footballer that comes to the world once I a lifetime only, he can not be copied or imitated either. That is why Barcelona did it to save Lionel Messi for world football. Thank you Barcelona for taking the brave and correct decision.

WHY BARCELONA REJECTED THE CHANCE TO BUY CRISTIANO RONALDO..

Back in the year 2008 the Spanish giants Real Madrid were very keen to buy the young Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and sir Alex Ferguson was not at all happy over the whole thing, He then went and told Real Madrid ( That he will not be selling Real Madrid a virus , leave alone his very best player at Manchester United.) Sir Alex Ferguson then spoke with the Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, and Alex Ferguson was very desperate not to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. But Barcelona rejected the offer made by Sir Alex Ferguson. But why did Barcelona reject the Cristiano Ronaldo offer? Barcelona already had players like Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o , Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi, so it was very clear one or two payers would be spending more time on the bench ten playing. Another big worry for Barcelona was would Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi gel on the pitch? o would Cristiano Ronaldo over shine Lionel Messi.? So the offer by Sir Alex Ferguson was swiftly rejected by Barcelona. Cristiano Ronaldo was then sold to Real Madrid in the year 2009, and the rest is history to us. But Cristiano Ronaldo was not having anything about the Barcelona move, as he was heart bent o moving to Real Madrid.

RONALDINHO GREAT FALL FROM GRACE IN THE YEAR 2008.

Ronaldinho the Brazilian playmaker was a fantastic player on the pitch , his skill, tacks , dribbles and passes were a sight to behold , in truth thousands of people around the world fell in love with his classy football and his trickery. There was a time when e was a cult figure thousands of boys tried and spent hours trying to do the things their idol Ronaldinho did. Ronaldinho means little Ronaldo, this name Ronaldinho was given to distinguish between the two Ronaldo's in Brazil team. Being a genius and far to brainy with football brain and football vision thee was bound to be a vert thin line between a genius and a nutty behaviour.. His of Pitch was terrible He even came drunk for practice at b Barcelona, his late arrival was also tolerated but patience would snap one day for sure he was famous for his parties and late nights and drinking. He even married two ladies at one time can you imagine that . His son Joao Mendes has joined Cruzeiro last year at their youth academy. Getting arrested for entering Paraguay on a forged passport can be expected from this person. Barcelona sold him to A.C Milan in the year 2008, enough was enough, it was Pep Guardiola who decided to sell Ronaldinho in the year 2008.As Pep Guardiola was happy with Lionel Messi replacing Ronaldinho.

LIONEL MESSI SAYS THERE IS NO TRUTH WHATSOEVER IN THESE FALSE NEWS.

The Argentinean footballer Lionel Messi , who has always played his cub football in Spain with F.C. Barcelona. Now there ere two stories going round the MEDIA , which Lionel Messi has said that there is no element of truth in these crazy stories. 1) One story in the Media said that Lionel Messi had gone and paid the bail amount for former friend and Barcelona player, the Brazilian Ronaldinho., which was a huge total of 1.6 one point six million Euros or 1,3 Million pounds. Right from the day Ronaldinho was arrested in Paraguay for entering the country on a forged passport ,Lionel Messi made t clear that he was not paying Ronaldinho's bail amount. 2) Another story making it's round is flamed by the former President of Inter Milan Massimo Moratti, who had said hat in football very strange things do happen, so it is vey clear that Lionel Messi could join up with Inter Milan, and believe me tat is not going to happen ever. Lionel Messi is with Barcelona from the time he was 13 , thirteen year old boy, and he will hang up his boots at Barcelona. Let me ask yo all a question here can any football club afford Lionel Messi after the CARONA VIRUS or COVID 19. Had hit Italy and brought the country to it's knees? These are all stories with no element of truth in it. IT is all fake news.

RONALDINHO IS RELEASED FROM PRISON IN PARAGUAY.

The famous Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto , have been released from a Paraguayan security jail from the capital of Paraguay Asuncion. Both f the brothers spent a total of 32,thirty two days in jail, where he was immensely popular with his inmates in jail He also spent his fortieth birthday behind bars. The crime committed by the two brothers was that they both entered Paraguay on a forged passport. It was a Paraguayan passport, which wrongly stated that Ronaldinho is a Paraguayan national , which is not true the whole world knows he is a Brazilian. He was facing a case in Brazil for failing to pay the government big amount of money, as he failed to pay the money on the date both of his passports were confiscated by the judge, one as a Brazilian passport, and the other one was a Spanish passport. Ronaldinho has now paid bail of 1.6 one point six million Dollars or 1.3 one point three million pounds , and both the brothers are released from prison, and are in house arrest in a hotel in Asuncion. But it is not ye clear how long they will stay there.

BOTH RONALDINHO AND DECO DID PLAY FATHERLY FIGURES IN THE CAREER F LIONEL MESSI..

When Lionel Messi was sixteen years old raw footballer, he had graduated from the Barcelona youth academy called THE A MASIA,THE CASTLE, But at that same time Ronaldinho joined Barcelona from P.S.G. It was Ronaldinho and the their Brazilian born footballers Deo, who clearly saw that Lionel Messi as not a ordinary graduate of he La Masia, he was very, very special and had great talent. It was the other Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez who clearly lifted the lid and told us that both Ronaldinho and Deco both spent great amount of time playing, guiding and advising little Messi on football. Ronaldinho was bold this to Fabio Capello that you are watching the future footballer of the world, mind you Lionel Messi s just seventeen years old then. Both Ronaldinho and Deco were like elder brothers looking after their younger brother. Lionel Messi was always a quite boy and hardly spoke to any one during his La Masia days. The senior Barcelona players like Xavi Hernandez, Carle's Puyol, Andres Iniesta would visit the young boys at La Masia, and give gifts and trinklets and spend time wit them as all ware very young and miles from home , and were homesick as well.
