If he didn’t live thousands of miles away from Camp Nou, he would be a season ticket holder, stand outside the training ground everyday to get a glimpse of a player or two and wear his Barcelona jersey to church. Here's our first interview with one big Barcelona fan from Minnesota.
Why do you like Barcelona?
Coming from an American family with no futbol influence growing up it was easy to fall in love with Barcelona. The players play for eachother with a brotherhood that is unmatched by any other team/club I've seen. Barça's play is very fluid, very sexy, possession based, pass & move, and their tiki-taka style of play is what make them so very appealing to the eye. However, there is an underlayer to that as well that defines them more. They work extremely hard in training and also hustle to regain possession in defense. It reminds of velociraptors in a way, how they all work together in unity to hunt, and in Barça's case, retrieve the ball back into their possession.
What makes a good player besides skill?
Hard work, discipline, vision, patience, awareness, and an undeniable will to win
What formation do you favor with Cesc now on the squad?
Same as always, 4-3-3 with more of a rotation of our midfielders to keep them fresh and in fitness all year. Although I am intrigued by the Villarreal performance when they used a 3-1-3-3 attacking formation.
One word to describe Victor V:
Irreplaceable
If you could ask Pep one question, what would it be?
What is the goal you would like to see achieved with these specific group of players?
What do you think of Villa’s hair?
He copied my hairstyle, I want royalties.
Favorite player?
David Villa is my personal favorite, Andres Iniesta is my emotional favorite, and Leo Messi is undoubtably the best.
What are you favorite teams outside of FCB?
I have none, I am singularly loyal to Barcelona.
Favorite Barcelona memory:
Although beating Madrid 5-0 at Camp Nou and winning at the Bernabeu 2-6 might rank higher for others, the way we played at Wembley in the Champions League Final and the 3-1 scoreline of complete domination against Manchester United was my moment of pure blissful happiness.
