After a day in Barcelona dropping the boots off with Rafa, Yaya and Dani, the insider made the trip to Madrid to make sure Cristiano had his pair to dominate in South Africa.

The insider discussed with the players how their role in the elite series design had worked towards the boot they were holding.

Rafa was looking forward to trying the boot out, Dani Alves was a fan of the new colourway and Yaya had just two words: "c'est magnifique".

The Season Is History

sinyew.tan — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:50:49 GMT

When your season and your pride is on the line, you don’t think about winning.

You don’t believe it will happen. You know it will happen.

Some teams wait for their moment; champions decide theirs.

Your team

sinyew.tan — Mon, 10 May 2010 15:08:25 GMT

You’re 8. You make the assist. You know exactly where your teammate is. The fans run down from the stands. You celebrate the goal like it was the most important of your life.

You’re 12. You control the ball in the midfield. You set up an epic attack of more than 15 touches. It’s a textbook counterattack. You know how to do it. You know the movements of the players at your side. Together, you close in on victory. You leave the field feeling that this was a job well done.

You’re 16. You fight for your team like it was your first day. You’re not playing just to win, you’re playing for the feeling. The whole team defends with all their might and attacks almost instinctively. The style of play that has been forged through the years now flows in everyone’s blood.

You’re 20. You make the same assist you made when you were 8. You celebrate the goal like it was the most important of your life. But this time you’re playing in Camp Nou. You still have the same enthusiasm you had when you were 8. You play with the same team spirit you had when you were 12. You fight for your team the same way you did when you were 16.

Now, after years learning how victories are forged, the moment to make history has arrived.

When the team you play for is truly your team¸ you never ease off, you know that everything is still there for the taking.

Challenging history

sinyew.tan — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:44:35 GMT

Barcelona and Inter completed the first round at the Giuseppe Meazza. The Italians are ahead but the blue and reds haven’t had the last say yet. They’ve demonstrated time and time again that a champion never gives up. Now is the time to push themselves.

90 minutes separate one of them from the grand finals. Can Inter hold on to the lead with the help of Sneijder, Maicon and Stankovic? Or will Barcelona triumph again with Zlatan, Pedro and Alves’s bullet train speed?

Barca’s players are already sharpening their claws. If there is one thing the team has shown on innumerable occasions, it’s that in 90 minutes, a whole chapter of football history can be written.

In Camp Nou, only one result can appear on the board. Victory.

Write the future.

Champions’ Battle

sinyew.tan — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:06:22 GMT

To be crowned the kings of Europe, Inter will have to beat the best.

Barcelona return to the Giuseppe Meazza with a consecutive European final just two games away.

The Nerazzuri want revenge for the group stages.

The Blaugrana want a repeat.

No reckoning

sinyew.tan — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:47:38 GMT

Just few months after the challenge in the initial round, once again it’s time for Inter Milan vs fc Barcelona, but this time the Spanish drove to Milan for a little final.

When you play for Europe every match is like a final. Fighting for such as goals needs a hard-joined group, but as usually are the big champions the ones that can make the difference.

Inter Milan bets on Stankovic. Dejan has being showing great quality all the season long, he could be the man of the match.

And then, on the other side, we have Ibra: the ex. He is champing at the bit, no discounts for his ex team.

This is the first of two full-of-meanings finals, the first step that drives to the Big Final. Who will continue dreaming?

El Clasico

sinyew.tan — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:39:33 GMT

One goal separates the two teams at the top of La Liga.

One Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal was the difference at Camp Nou.

Barcelona go to the Bernabeu in search of a winning double over their fierce rivals.

There are fine winning margins. There are no small victories.

Just one move to write the future

sinyew.tan — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:34:33 GMT

A footballer can change his team’s fate with just one manoeuvre.

One-tenth of a second can decide whether a team is the champion or just the best of the losers.

This Saturday, 22 players will compete for victory in Madrid. A war made up of dozens of battles per minute, in which each ball could be lethal.

The race up the line on your half to pass a team mate the ball to score will be a battle between Alves and Ramos. Taking ownership of the pitch and leaving the opponent’s efforts in dust – that will be the competition between Puyol and Albiol. The ever-present attack in the midfield will be a head-to-head race between Iniesta and Van der Vaart. The element of surprise, which will overwhelm the wings will star Pedro and Marcelo.

Above all, the objective of each manoeuvre, the one thing that makes you win or loose and makes it all worthwhile is the speed of Cristiano, Zlatan and Bojan.

22 players. 1 big match. 1 opportunity.

Write the future.

Master Tacticians

sinyew.tan — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:13:57 GMT

After a classic European match of goals, suspensions and controversy, Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola face the prospect of guiding their teams through an equally explosive second leg.

Pep had Barcelona and Zlatan Ibrahimovic dominating the first leg until Wenger's introduction of Theo Walcott changed the game and swung it back into the Gunners' favour.

With a semi-final place at stake, and without some of the world's finest attacking players, both managers will pit all of their experience and expertise against each other in the biggest clash of the season.

Will they stay true to their attacking ethos?
