i agree who those who think frank rijkaard isn't good enough. the truth is that barcelona had for a couple of years probably the best team in the world with the best player of the world. valdes, puyol, xavi, deco, ronaldinho, eto'o, all of them in a top3 in their positions for me in theis best years...messi and iniesta from the bench. another players who were pretty consistent, marquez, van bronckhorst, giuly, larsson, van bommel. he did a good job, no doubt, but not as good as people could think. for me, people who make that time was more important than him, by far. and i mean former barcelona president, laporta, actual president who was vicepresident there in hi first years, rosell, who bought ronaldinho from psg because he knew him from his years working in nike. in his first season, he struggled in the first half badly, losing with potent malaga 5-0 and that kind of stuff. he changed tactic and players every match until it seems he just found one by accident. i have to say, i'd be really surprised if he ever does something similar to that in any other team.
