    Err, what's with that black thing, people. We have Raheem Sterling in the reserve team. He plays in this nextgen tournament.


    It's like the warm up for them in the Europe. It's similar to CL, everybody knows how important is that. Nope, not a hassle. Like I said, it's like the warm up. Sooner than later they will be introduced to the first team, I'm not talking about LFC, this is a general statement.


    It's a new tournament actually. I wouldn't know about it too if LFC wasn't participating last season. Last season was the first time this tournament was held. That time we only had four groups. Now it's six. Meaning that more clubs wants to produce young players that can play on big occasion.


    I believe FC Bayern has a great foundation of young players. Look at Bastian, Muller, Lahm and many of them are from the young academy of FC Bayern. Even Hummels, who plays for BVB.


    Anyway, great win for us against the Oranje. :D Now I'm talking like I'm a German. :P


    Man of the match : Bastian Schweinsteiger.

    Yup. Definitely. It was on the 6th of April 2005. Could I ever be more precise? :P


    I was watching the Chelsea game against FC Bayern. I shouldn't tell you which club I suppo rted that time, it'll cause a lot of fuss. :| Well, the bottom line is, I saw FC Bayern played so well though the lost 2-4 that night at Stamford Bridge. But later they fought back though it wasn't enough, just manage to get a 5-6 aggregate. That was their first meeting together and they lost. Never thought the second one did more damage. :(


    Right, so the player that impressed me was Basti. I'm so glad I noticed him at a very young age. Proud. Haha. >:|

    The NextGen is back.


    How you guys heard about it? Well, here's the thing.


    The NextGen Series is a European football club cup competition for under-19 footballers. It is similar in form to the UEFA Champions League and will provide a competition for youth players an opportunity to play other young European footballers.


    FC Bayern should join this tournament as well. But not next season since the group stages for 2012/2013 has been drawn. Maybe the next season after that. Last season, which was the first season of it being held, Liverpool FC got the third place. :D By the way, the defending champion now is Inter Milan.


    Juventus FC, Chelsea FC, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal FC, CSKA Moscow, RSC Anderlecht, Olympiacos, Borussia Dortmund, Athletic Club and 15 clubs from last season who will all compete for the coveted NextGen Trophy. The tournament has proven a huge success in its first year, providing Europe’s finest youth talent with a solid platform on which to hone their skills in a competitive international environment.


    The NextGen Series 2012/13 will include all of last year’s participants - excluding FC Basel who elected to withdraw from the upcoming season - alongside nine new clubs.



    The six Groups for the NextGen Series 2012/13 are:


    Group One - FC Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, , Vfl Wolfsburg, RSC Anderlecht.


    Group Two - Manchester City FC, Juventus Football Club, Paris Saint-Germain, Fenerbahce.


    Group Three - Chelsea FC, AFC Ajax, CSKA Moscow, Molde FK.


    Group Four - Sporting Clube de Portugal, Celtic FC, Aston Villa FC, PSV Eindhoven.


    Group Five - Liverpool FC, Borussia Dortmund, Internazionale, Rosenborg BK.


    Group Six - Arsenal FC, Athletico Bilbao, Olympique de Marseille, Olympiacos.




    Come on, FC Bayern, send a squad to join the tournament in 2013/14.


    You'll Never Walk Alone. Mia San Mia. ;-)
