This year we have a great match out the field, the Portuguese coach, Mourinho, versus Pep Guardiola. The Inter’s former coach is one of the best of the world, nobody can say the opposite. He has got great aims, last year he got all the official competitions where his club took part, and his players show him an incredible loyalty. However, his bad and ugly gestures betray him.
In the other big club there is Guardiola. He is one of the best football coach of the moment, and like Mourinho, he won two seasons ago all the competition where his team participated. But his personality is just the opposite of the Portuguese coach. He is calm, never have a bad gesture, expression… he always shows respect to his rivals.
Last year we had the opportunity to show a match between both, the UEFA’s Champions semi-final. In that occasion Mourinho beat the Catalan. What is going to happen this year? At least they are going to play two games. The first is the 28th of October in Barça’s stadium and the return on 17th of April in Santiago Bernabeu.
One thing is clear, both teams are going to play on the pitch, but Mourinho will try to play in the press room too, forgetting his year in the club from Barcelona.

Sevilla takes over Barcelona in the Supercopa’s first game
Last Saturday Sevilla FC beat FC Barcelona in the first official match of the Spanish Championship, the Supercopa. FC Barcelona took over the Andalucian team in the first part, Ibrahimovic scored goal trying to show that he is good enough to play in the Barça. In the second time, Sevilla scored three goals, Luis Fabiano the first and Kanoute the rest.
Pep Guardiola, Barça’s coach, bet strongly, he left in Barcelona all the world champions, and he took with him a lot of player form the youth academy. For most of them this was the first opportunity to play in the first team of the Catalan club. Mesi was the only World Championship star that plaid.
The second leg is going to be plaid next Saturday in Barcelona. Guardiola’s team has to move up two goals. It’s thought that for this game he is going to summon all the big stars of the club. It should be a good chance to watch David Villa’s first minutes with his new team.
The Spanish media are discussing this days about Barça’s team. For some them it is too short and FCB is not going to get last years scores. However, Barcelona has showed that it is not a “big star team”. It is true that it has big world players, some of them are in the world better players top ten, but the powerful of the club and its staff is the unity. That is reason why Guardiola fired Etoó last season. Selfish player don’t have place in Pep’s scheme.
Maybe is true that Barça needs two or three good player, but by the moment they have the best coach and lot of young players who know that one day they could have opportunity to succeed in their heart’s club, just the opposite of the Real Madrid. While Guardiola is managing the destiny of the FC Barcelona the good football and the humility is guaranteed. Real Madrid cannot say the same.

Real Sociedad back to1st Division
Real Sociedad is an historic club of the Spanish League, where has been for 40 years, but in 2007 they lost the category. Now is coming back, this year Real Sociedad has won the Second Division championship which is the voucher to play in first division again.
On the eighties it was a very popular team, still it is, but in early years of that decade the “Txuri Urdinak” (their nick name in Basque which means Blue and White) won two leagues, playing only with Basque players, most of them cane from its amateur categories. In that decade they, in 1987 exactly, they won the Spanish Cup.
Two years later the administration board of the club took an historical decision, they signed Irish international player John Aldridge from Liverpool. That shocked the blue and white crowd. After that, the only team who has continued with that philosophy is other Basque historical club, the Athletic Club Bilbao.
But the last weekend has been really special for the Real Sociedad’s fans. They won Celta de Vigo 2-0 and three years after they return to the elite. All Gipuzkoa (the Basque province of Real Sociedad) goes out to fill the pubs and “txokos” (Basque typical gathered corners) to celebrate the victory.
This week the players of the Real Sociedad have toured around Gipuzkoa visiting the main towns. An on Sunday they are going to play a non significant match against Elche.
Zorionak Real!!
