''Best moment of my life''

Barcelona have confirmed that they have been able to obtain the services of Andre Villas Boas as their new manager following the resignation of Tito Villanova.
The former Spurs manager, had a very successful season, even though missing out on the champions league spot for Spurs, was able to maintain a very consistent form for the team and made them a very strong force within England and Europe.

Andre has been linked with many clubs including PSG and Monaco, but he admitted he denied both because he has been dreaming for the Barcelona job.

''I have liked Barcelona from the start, I love their style of football and I am hoping to implement my own style to only enhance it, Barcelona have the best team in the world and with the best Youth, I am sure I will be able to maintain the success that they have had over the years, I would like to thank Spurs for the past seasons, and wish them the best of luck''

''I was offered jobs from teams all around the Europe, even including PSG, Monaco and even some Premier League sides, but I went with my heart, I feel that spanish football is the best place for me to be, it suits my play style, and I just prefer to live here rather than England'

Wow good start!
Really nice start to a new story again :)
You seem to have caught the ropes of story writing very quickly which is good! :)

Just remember not every save has to be a story, as too many stories can end prematurely and clog up the forums.

Anyway, I love the start and wish you good luck!
Lift: Thank you
Kiddy: I hope the board wont be selling any of my players!
Walter: I know, I was just struggling on what team I wanted to do, but I am sticking with this and have locked all other stories.

''Perdo, Pique, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Puyol reveal the kits''

Andre Villas Boas had a few comments to make on the new kits ''I think they look very nice, some people think that the look of the kits are not important when really it defines and show what kind of club you are, so yeah, I think it looks great''

Some of the fans also had their vote on the kit:
''I love it, very clean and slick''
''The colour combination goes very well''
''On my way to get one now!''
''I preferred the older one''


Overall, a I think a great success for the launch of Barcelona's new kits, but are Barcelona ready for the upcoming season?

Thiago Alcântara

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of rumours regarding the future of spanish youngster Thiago, he has been linked with several clubs over the past few weeks, one being Bayern Munich, where Pepe Guardiola has taken over, where a possible reunion with his old manager. But recently Andre Villas Boas has came and revealed the future of the player.

Andre talking to the press


''Thiago is a great player with a lot of poeintal, only being at the age of 21 and already playing for Spain and being a constant first team player for Barcelona, why on earth would I sell him, he matches the way we play, all intrest for him will be snubbed, he is a Barcelona player, and thats a end of it''

''I dont feel there is any need to sell a player unless you need to, or he is not required by the club anymore, I mean you're just giving poeintal world class talent to another a club, I dont get it''

Good start!

Alex Sandro

Barcelona have confirmed the capture of two Brazilian full backs, one being the signing of Alex Sandro and the other being Danilo from the same club of FC Porto for a combined fee of 25 million euros.
At the age of 22, Sandro has a lot of startups for his club of porto and already made a total of 4 call ups for his national team, where he competes against the likes of Marcelo. He has been known for his pace and his passing, and been tipped to be a future super star, he should suit Barcelona's play style.


Danilo Luiz Da Silva

Another player being Danilo, who is also the same of 22 and also who has a had a very bright career for Porto and Brazil, already making the same amount of appearances as Sandro, they are very comparable people, and should be able to mould into the side very quickly as much of the Barcelona side is Brazilian like Dani Alves and new signing Neymar.

'' I am very excited to be apart of the best biggest team in europe, I have a lot of good friends here and wish Porto the best of luck and thank you for the past seasons''

Looking good so far! Hoping Danilo grows into a quality player, bought him for Monaco.
Good luck with this!
