Guardiola signed a a single-year extension this week to remain at Barca until the stop of next season and ought to he complete it, will become only the fourth coach to last for four or much more complete campaigns at the Nou Camp. Since his arrival in 2008, Guardiola has led Barca to eight trophies previously, and with the club even now fighting for three a lot more at the company stop of the existing marketing campaign, Rosell says renewing his coach’s contract was an easy selection to make. “Every day that goes by, I like our (club) design a lot more, and I like it even greater with Pep,” he informed Tv3. “We are delighted to have him here.” And Rosell says Guardiola’s sentimental attachment to Barcelona tends to make him a far better solution than Mourinho. “Pep represents Barca sentimentally, while Mourinho only represents Madrid professionally,” he mentioned.

In spite of these worries and a stubborn Madrid aspect, Mallorca coach Michael Laudrup – who played for each of Spain’s big two – believes the Catalans will win the Primera Division title for the third year running. “I feel they will be champions since they have much more points and will be able to slip up many occasions, unlike Madrid,” he informed Activity in an interview. The Danish coach, nevertheless, believes the title will go down to the wire. “I’ve been in Spanish soccer for twenty a long time and I’ve in no way observed a title made the decision at the stop of January or in February,” he mentioned. “It will be determined in May possibly.” Laudrup was a member of Barca’s mythical `Dream Team’ below Johan Cruyff, but the Dane believes the latest edition is even better. “This Barca and (Frank) Rijkaard’s are much better than the a single from my era – they have a lot more particular person assets,” he said. “Pep’s team is the greatest 1 of all even without the ball they stress all the time and they have (David) Villa, (Lionel) Messi, Pedro, Xavi, (Andres) Iniesta and Alves. “The `Dream Team’ will always have one particular point they haven’t got, though – we came prior to them.” At Mallorca, the situation is very different. “We have quite minor funds and most of the players are in their 1st yr in the top division,” Laudrup extra. “But I work with the peace of head that there are very good football men and women right here and they allow me get on with my career.” Laudrup is set to be without defender Ivan Ramis and striker Victor Casadesus for the game. Mallorca, in 11th area with 31 factors, remarkably held Barca to a 1-one draw at the Nou Camp earlier this period.
