A Look At Thomas Muller - The German Genius

Following on from my Javi Martinez article, next on my list is fellow Bayern Munich man, Thomas Muller. The man that I raved about so much last season because of his passion, desire and determination on the pitch. The 23-year-old has been at Bayern Munich all his professional career so you can understand where the passion has derived from. He was another crucial member of Bayern Munich's treble winning team along with Javi Martinez.

Which league is the best? - the players & teams (Video)

Whilst the English Premier League is the self-proclaimed greatest league in the world, and attracts the most viewers from a worldwide audience, is it actually the best league regarding quality of players, teams and football played, or is it just that the increased media coverage makes people believe that it is the finest on offer? I decided to compare it with other European leagues by looking at the players and teams that ply their trade in each country.

Jose Mourinho: A look at the Chelsea manager 10 years on

This time ten years ago, Jose Mourinho was coming off the back of a domestic campaign where he had won the Portuguese League, Cup and Super Cup.  Porto were undoubtedly the dominant force in their own country, but winning a competition such as the UEFA Cup made the rest of Europe take notice.  A year later Mourinho saw his side lift the European Cup, having reached the pinnacle of club football by winning the Champions League.

Is the use of a double pivot in midfield crucial to the modern game?

A lot has been said about the modern game. Some people welcome the concept, whereas others completely disagree and ridicule the idea.

Thiago sale is a mistake (Video)

Bayern Munich's signing of midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Barcelona has left many people questioning what the Spanish club is up to. The 22-year-old, who has already played a fair amount of first team football at the Camp Nou over the past few seasons, was apparently unhappy at not being assured of regular first team action. No doubt that Pep Guardiola has had an important influence on this transfer and with a £22m deal sealing the move, it would appear that he will line-up alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger in their midfield next season. Why then were Barcelona unable to convince him to stay?
