The Curious Case Of Alberto Aquilani



At the moment, the Anfield future of Alberto Aquilani hangs in the balance. His agent Franco Zavaglia has made more u-turns than the coalition Government in Westminster – often only a matter of days after a statement declaring that Aquilani will definitely stay, another statement is released to the contrary. Another season long-loan has been mooted, and the absurdity of that discussed widely – even if his wages are paid by the club loaning him in, surely his value will only diminish as his contract runs down? Moneyball must have a chapter on this!



When Alberto Aquilani signed for Liverpool in August 2009 for £17 million, it must be said that not much was known about him. This is despite him being a full Italy international, and a key component of a Roma team that finished 2nd in Serie A the previous season. It must also be said that 2 years down the line, not much more is known about him than was then.


It also appears that Rafa Benitez might not have known much about him. Aquilani was supposedly bought as a replacement for the departed Xabi Alonso, who had moved to Real Madrid, but they actually play very different roles within the bracket of central midfielder. He is perhaps closer in style to Steven Gerrard, playing higher up the pitch and breaking into the box during attacks. And seeing as Liverpool’s talismanic captain is 31 years of age, looking for a replacement is something that might have to be done soon. Gerrard isn’t one of those players who will last forever, his high tempo powerful game has taken its toll on his body, particularly his knees. But, so it was – Alonso went to Madrid and Liveprool signed Aquilani. It must be very difficult to replace a fans’ favourite, particularly one who is talked about by those who say they know about football as probably more important to Liverpool’s performances in recent seasons than even Gerrard. An injury delayed debut only heaped more pressure on him, and his fitness was often questioned. He made 26 appearances in the 2009-10 season, some as substitute. The season before his move to Liverpool, Aquilani played a mere 20 games for Roma, and his injury record over the previous 3 years definitely puts him in the box marked “prone”.

Roma, alongside most major European clubs, played a variant of the currently popular 4-2-3-1 formation, and Aquilani was for the majority the focus of the three-man attacking trio, although he’s displayed some versatility by being used on either flank, sometimes as one of the double-pivot holding midfielders, and also as the trequartista when Roma witched it up a bit. He has scored a few spectacular and important long range goals for Roma and his reputation in Italy is significantly higher than it is in England.

In 2009-10 Liverpool also generally played 4-2-3-1, but Aquilani was generally used as one of the two holding players, and even then was third choice at best behind Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva – a tough double act to break up, especially if it is not your favoured position. The preferred players in the attacking trio behind Torres were Kuyt, Gerrard and Babel/Maxi/Aurelio/Riera.

Still, 26 games for an injury hit debut season isn’t too bad, and it’s often the case that a player brought in from another league takes a season to adjust to the style of the Premiership. There was a feeling among Liverpool fans that the best was yet to be seen from Alberto Aquilani. However, Benitez made way for one of the most unpopular managerial appointments in recent years – the doomed Roy Hodgeson. Hodgeson decided that Aquilani should be sent out on loan, back to his mother country in order to gain match fitness – obviously not putting much faith in the physiotherapy and physical training facilities at Melwood. He went straight into the team at Juventus, where he played in the middle of a 4-4-2, as the more creative of the central pair alongside Felipe Melo, a defensively minded player.

Since his return to England, Aquilani has been making the news simply because people are finally finding out that he’s not a bad player. You don’t get to represent Italy at all levels from under-14 upwards if you’re a bad player. Owner John W Henry misspelt his name on twitter, such was his urgency to declare Aquilani as Liverpool’s “missing link last year”. Strange comments from an owner who has just forked out a medium-sized fortune on Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam. They’ve now got about 8-10 central midfielders, depending on who makes the first team squad. To put that into a perspective that the average man might understand, that’s like your boss buying two new computers for the office, then finding one under his desk and saying it’s the best model. Add into the mix Assistant boss Steve Clarke praising fellow Chelsea old-boy Joe Cole, and you’re left wondering if they’ll bother with defenders or attackers in the coming season.

With Liverpool generally reckoned to be playing either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 (or somewhere in between) next season, you’d have to say that competition for places is going to be fierce.

Looking at further length into the likely starters in a 4-2-3-1, it’s probably fair to say that the double pivot of holding midfielders will be Lucas Leiva and Charlie Adam. Leiva fulfilling the destructive element of that pairing, and Adam playing as a deep-lying playmaker, in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, or indeed Xabi Alonso. Back-ups to these positions would be Poulsen if he’s still there, and at a push Spearing and Meireles. The make-up of the attacking trio behind the main striker is a little harder to speculate. On the wings there are the options of Aquilani, Downing, Henderson, Joe Cole, Rodriguez, and of course Kuyt has been used there, as has Luis Suarez – even Steven Gerrard could do a job there, although he’ll probably be nailed on to play the central role of that attacking part of midfield. The position behind the front man, Aquilani’s favoured position, is also one that could be assigned to one of many. As I’ve said, Gerrard will get the most starts there, but if he remains at Anfield, Aquilani is certain to be a contender for that place, given Gerrard’s poor showing last year, and the question marks over his fitness now. Other contenders for that job are Joe Cole again, and perhaps Jordan Henderson.

What Liverpool are doing here is assembling a squad of players who are specialists at one position, but have the versatility to play one or more others. This gives them quality cover for injuries, options for rotation, and intense competition for places to motivate the players to perform consistently. They do not yet have the strength in depth that was the hallmark of the Manchester United and Chelsea title winning teams of the last decade, but their not far off. So, whilst I wouldn’t say that Aquilani is the player who will win them a Premiership title, he’s the kind of player you need in your squad to have the strength to challenge.

A Sad Sunday


24-7-2011 was one of the saddest days of my life as a football fan. More depressing than when Messi and Barcelona ripped Manchester United to shreds,more depressing than the day when Ozil and the referee conspired to knock England out of  the World Cup.

There are two,not one reasons for my sadness on a wonderful sunday.They involve my favorite player and my favorite team.



Super Mario
Some people just cant appreciate the skill  and talent of Mario Balotelli.The backheel he attempted during the match against LA Glaaxy may not have come off but the fact that he had the guts and the imagination to attempt it,proves that he is the next Pele.Roberto Mancini proving that he is a typical Italian took him off,a sad move by a man who cant appreciate the extraordinary talent of Super Mario.The video went viral immediately and started trending worldwide within minutes.



Larrisa Riquleme(Paraguay Losing the Copa America Final)

What else does a football fan dream of,other than his team winning?
I supported Paraguay all through the Football World Cup in South Africa in hope of seeing talented players like Roque Santa Cruz taking center stage.Of course you have the addtional bonus of getting to see Larrisa naked.I cried for two nights when Paraguay lost.But my flame was rekindled,when i got to know that Paraguay were in the Copa America final.But that asshole Luis Suarez and his team mates destroyed my dream again.

Argentina-The New England?


This post first appeared on Sportskeeda.


When a team boasting of the super star talents of Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Higuain, Di Maria, Mascherano, Lavezzi,etc can’t score a goal past ten men Uruguay for 30 minutes, then there is something seriously wrong.  Argentina, for one, aren’t England who are the perennial underachievers.  They have had a good amount of success in the international arena.  But now with arguably with the best player after Maradona in their ranks, it seems as if they also have contracted the same disease as England.  Hyped as the favorites, the home team failed to get going in the Copa America and the only game they played well was against a under-strength Costa Rica team.  Argentinian fans have more to worry than their arch-rivals, the English, as the players they have in their team are certainly among the most talented in the world.


Sergio Batista must consider himself very lucky to still have his job as the manager after a disastrous Copa America where even an ordinary fan can point out that he made some horrible tactical mistakes. Argentina under Maradona at the World Cup also made some crucial tactical mistakes(Read Here).  This clearly shows that you can have the best of players, but the right manager along with a good and compatible set of tactics is necessary for a successful team.  After seeing Barcelona play, you may think even anyone can manage that team.  But cases like Argentina and England show what a brilliant job Pep Guardiola has done with Barcelona.
One of the main problems for Batista before the Copa America was getting the best of Messi.  Against Columbia and Bolivia, he tried to play him as the false 9.  Many thought that Messi would be at his scintillating best for his country playing as the false 9, but this ploy didn’t work.  This move didn’t work because of the lack of support from Cambiasso and Banega as they didnt get forward enough to support Messi when he did drop back.  Against Columbia where Messi was up against only one holding player, Argentina should have taken advantage, but some poor finishing and lack of support from the midfield cost them.

Argentina Vs Columbia


The above video brilliantly demonstrates why Messi as a false 9 struggled.  For Argentina in this match he dropped deep many a times, but the lack of support was appalling.  This meant that Colombia could double or even at times triple up on him.  When playing for Barcelona, Xavi, Iniesta,Villa, Pedro and at times even Alves are ready to make runs and are available for a pass.
Team selection was also a serious problem for Batista, with so many options he couldn’t quite get the right combination.  Tevez and Lavezzi strangely were preferred intially as Messi’s partners in crime.  Tevez strangely has never played well for Argentina, maybe its due to the fact that back in Manchester he is the star where as in Argentina he is just another player who could be dropped anytime. Argentina have not been blessed with quality defenders as Milito and Burdisso made lot of mistakes but that should be no excuse for Batista.

Against Costa Rica Batista, Batista finally changed the system and Argentina thrashed them comfortably with Messi at his best.  But Batista failed to remember that Costa Rica is no Spain and that too they were playing with U-23 team.  The victory over Costa Rica was a convincing one but many of the problems of system that Batista used were hidden

Argentina Vs Costa Rica
Batista used Messi on the right which freed him up and he brilliantly dictated play. Di Maria in the center of the midfield also provided the extra attack and flair needed, but with no natural winger and the full backs sitting quite deep Argentina lacked width. The center backs were more concerned with Higuain who didn’t have a good game and Messi was allowed to roam free.  Di Maria bringing the ball from midfield freed Messi from that role which he was playing in the previous games.  But the victory covered up many problems.
Not managing to score against Uruguay who were down to 10 men is inexcusable. Batista got his tactics and his substitutions all wrong.  With no natural wingers playing for Argentina, Uruguay managed to defend comfortably with 3 in midfield.  The Fullbacks should have been given more license to get forward but strangely both Zabaleta and Zanetti were subdued.  Tevez and Pastore are world class players but were wrong ones for that situation.  Argentina desperately need a playmaker who can see a pass and control games.  Even Riquelme will do, although he has his drawbacks.  Pastore still needs to mature and only time will tell whether he can take on the mantle.
The future of Argentina looks exciting with so many talented players coming through, but so did England’s future a decade ago.  We all know what England’s Golden Generation managed to achieve. The national team must be put in sensible hands so that Argentina do not become the next England.  So far Sergio Batista looks to have kept the job but the AFA must look to replace him, and this time it should be purely on the pedigree of the person as a football manager.
