Valerie’s Team of Choice is:

F.C. Barcelona
http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/

For readers of my search to find a team to support. I am happy to show that results have yielded and that Barcelona has won my heart. F.C. Barcelona is now the team I will support and watch when I have the chance to.

The Rationale

No drama
Barça was leading in terms of ranking for their own table and the entire league in my charts. As compared to other teams, Barça was rarely tangled in scandals or player disputes. They stayed of the limelight and forced the soccer body of the world to focus on their game and not their drama. It is professionalism in the truest sense. Even when Barcelona did delve into the market to swoop Lilian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta from the crumbling Juventus, they did not make a big show of it. They just went there, did it, went home.

Leo Messi
Lionel Messi is another factor. I am a great admirer of Lionel Messi’s playing and off-field persona. I have a careful and detailed entry on Lionel Messi in my archives. Please follow this link to read it.

That’s all for now… I will update more rationales as Barcelona plays on.
