Why Ernesto Valverde doesn't trust his big money boys fully yet

              When will Ernesto Valverde
           trust Coutinho and Dembele

Many would be wondering why Erneato Valverde did not play Ousmane Dembele against Atletico. The Barca manager chose a defensive squad against Atletico and it has to be admitted that it was one of the best evenings ever for the defenders. But the team definetly lacked attacking force. If it wasn't for a brilliant Messi free-kick, Barca would be under a lot of pressure. A player like Dembele would have been very effective against a team like Atletico Madrid. And this was just one of the riddles Valverde has left for us to solve. Why didn't Coutinho and Dembele start against Las Palmas, why does Coutinho keep getting substituted off even while playing well ? Let us try and answer some of these questions. 

Okay, Dembele isn't good enough for every game


Ousmane Dembele has been looking shaky and the only way that problem is going to be solved is by patience. There is going to be quite some pressure on you if you are just 20 years of age and suddenly become the third most expensive player ever. So we give this round to Valverde, he tries to use Dembele slowly and that is probably the best way to get him in the top level. 

Should Coutinho be rested for small games ?


Philippe Coutinho has been pretty good so far. It's safe to say that he has played well in every one of his games. But he is cup tied for the Champions League and if   
he is rested for small games, he'll barely get playing time. Even though he has been playing well, he still needs to get adjusted to Spanish football. And let him make the most of what he has got for now. So I think that Ernesto Valverde will need to work on this point.

Coutinho and Dembele should play more together

The combination of Coutinho, Suarez, Messi and Dembele have played together only once. And oh, were they effective ? The quadruple combined to score six goals against a good Girona team. But the more these guys are together, the better. I doubt whether those two have even passed to each other, but once they will, trust me the Barca attack will be better than ever. 
"Forca Barca!"

Hindi needs to be stopped being taught as a subject and this is why

I write this blog regarding the current education system in our country. My name is Hardik Sapra and I am fourteen years old and currently studying in Hyderabad. I wish to share this problem, I and many other people I know of, are going through. It is a well known fact that some parts of the country speak very good Hindi and some parts don't. This causes a line of division between the two groups and automatically puts the good Hindi speakers a foot ahead. This is a great disadvantage of the many South Indians, Bengalis, and so on, who are quite good at almost all subjects but are let down by this. I feel that judging students by their skills in sciences, humanities, arts, and other such fields, is a fairer way. Another thing is that in the coming future, as India makes itself a better developed country in the world, the need for Hindi will vanish and rightly so. It's more important to adapt to tomorrow's world than to live in yesterday's. Adaptation can't come witho...

Malaga vs Barca full match review and player ratings

  A good performance against the worst team in la liga without our best player Date - 10/03/2018 Stadium - La Rosaleda ( Malaga ) Barca travelled to Malaga for the clash (or is it?) between the first placed team in La Liga and the 20th placed team. Lionel Messi missed the game due to personal reasons, but the team didn't miss Messi one bit.  First 45 minutes All the damage was done for Malaga in the first half. Five minutes on Malaga keeper Roberto saved a shot from Suarez that was intended for the left bottom corner. 10 minutes later Alba gave a very Alba-like cross in and Suarez  nearly headed it in. Precisely 13 minutes later, Dembele came thundering into the box, did a fake and gave a left footed pass to Philippe Coutinho who tapped it in with his right heel. A couple of minutes later Manu Garcia was given a direct red after a clumsy challenge on Jordi Alba. Second 45 minutes Barca pressed more this time. Even though they could not convert, it has to be said that they...

HARDIK'S THEOREM

Hardik's theorem states that when two successive numbers are multiplied, the product obtained is closer to the square of the smaller number than the square of the bigger number, and the difference between the product and the smaller square is smaller by one unit than the difference between the bigger square and the product. For example, take two numbers 3 & 4 3 x 4 = 12 3^2 = 9 4^2 = 16 (3 x 4) - (3^2) = 12 - 9 = 3 (4^2) - (3 x 4) = 16 - 12 = 4 3 < 4  4 - 3 = 1 Quad Erad Demonstratum
