I wonder how many times I will have the sensation of verifying how the word “perfection“ is exceeded in my reference threshold. I was thinking about having seen the perfect party in the last final of the Champions League. But for this one Barca there is always one more step above. It is true that the rival yesterday event was not lodging danger you do not even grasp in the sleeve, nevertheless this step is necessary to raise it equally.

‘Perfect‘ it is defined in RAE as that one or that one that has the biggest possible grade of kindness or excellence in his line. And in case of this one Barca, he never goes so far as to know if his biggest excellence grade has reached. The facility with which they play scorer overwhelms more than his capacity, more than his absolute control of the game. The Racing turned out to be knocked down between a soccer of book and between its own powerlessness, which with the step of the minutes was on the increase. Messi, the visible head of this Olympus, shone for his exquisiteness of movements and his amazing auction.

But like a lot of Gods, and some other earthlings to whom we have labeled them thus, nobody is perfect. The perfection does not exist, as would say that one, because everything is improvable. True, although the perfection of this one Barca resides in this amazing quality of imposing its own game rhythm, always of dominating without being dominated, of calculating every pass and every move to the millimeter, of knowing what movement to do in every moment.

This exhaustive calculation of his game, this full self-knowledge is what does that it is Barca is practically unbeatable. It is not perfect, but it emulates it very well. With more solutions than movements in the chess, only the fortune (an imperfect science, since it is completely inaccessible and impossible to govern) it can be imposed like rival before this team. Before the rest of phenomena (let’s call him Racing, let’s call him Athletic …) the makers of a perfect party already they know them. They dress of blue and cochineal.

The soccer, although sometimes some of them claim to complicate it, has a few relatively simple reasonings. Not always, that is like that, two more two are four, but in general this mathematical operation approaches the resultant number. Another day, seeing the party of Madrid, I verified that the love, or big part, went so far as to whistle to those of Pellegrini. The motive, seemingly, is the desire of the community meringue of seeing his team dancing on the lawn as the Barca does it. To say that they ask too much is a big truth, I even dare to say that the Bernabéu requests an impossible one, unless from the stool one is condenadamente bravely.

The Barca plays like nobody, not for having to possibly better player of the world, Messi. The Barca is only because it hoards to two mediocentros more ingenious than the planet. There are many and good, but nobody sees the development of the game like Xavi and Iniesta. Hence, when Xavi and Iniesta are on the lawn, the rivals tremble. This couple is the engine that works properly to the current League champion, then Messi is, that of nothing does to you everything, Daniel, who for the right avoids the limits of the speed, Ibrahimovic, Henry … But the epicenter blaugrana is in these two small types, only in them.

Madrid will not be able to come to the excellence of the Barca, basically, because it does not have players in the midfield of the size of Iniesta and Xavi. Madrid is a sack of the first figures that decide a meeting to you to the minimal opposite absent-mindedness, but not a compact team. Madrid is so favorite to everything like the Barca, or even more, but it will never be able to win astonishing as the Barca does it, because his soccer comes from players who are not provided with the mental agility and resources of Xavi and Iniesta.

There is a possibility, nevertheless, of changing the history and of achieving Madrid that it fools, but for that Pellegrini has to be brave, very brave. It was not a coincidence that another day the meringues were playing his best minutes when Guti went out. Skylight that not. To play with Diarra and Stammerer, a puffed up soccer player, hinchadísimo, offers you little in the creative plane, rather not at all. But to play with Diarra, doing of squire, Stammerer helping, and Guti to his air, changes the history … The ideal thing, obviously the fact would be that Lass, Guti and Kaká were sharing track, then yes that there would be tomato. And what do we do when Xabi Alonso returns? Since to play with a trivote, Xabi, Guti and Lass, leaving free Kaka and placing in top Ronaldo and Benzema. The problem is that to extract that one eleven is necessary to have arrests, and the doubts that we can have at this point with Pellegrini are, the less, reasonable.

On Guti many things have been said and they will be said many other. Nevertheless, I believe that it is just to praise the evolution that this player has experienced. Of an indolent one with class, he has happened to be an elegant worker, a leader of team. I think that Guti with the years knows better, so that it seems incongruous to me to claim lofty Madrid in his forms with the second captain in the stool. Personally, I am attracted very much by the idea of seeing Guti along with Kaká, if this two connect Madrid yes he can acquire the style that his people wish. With Guti out that is impossible, because to play with a double pivot formed by Xabi Alonso and Diarra improves what existed earlier, obviously, but it is not going to give the longed excellence. Xabi Alonso is the most finished mediocentro, in defense it is haughty and it sees well the attacks, but it does not have the perception of the soccer of the Guti, Valerón, Iniesta, Xavi, Of the Rock and big others.

If Pellegrini wants that his team wins and convinces, perhaps it is time for it to raise one more drawing in consonance with what it has the Barca, to break the chains of 4-4-2 and to play with a top skylight, Benzema, two dynamic references it arrives like Ronaldo and Kaká and a line of three in the watershed: Lass destroys, Guti designs and Alonso is in all sides. This team drawing seems extremely attractive to me. The problem is that we load ourselves on seven, on the captain, … The collection of proverbs says to the untouchable one that who wants something, something costs him. Is there the question, as Madrid is able, perhaps be able, but the doubt in the air is to know if it will dare to sacrifice his sacred player after the common good.

It has not being the case during this week, but yes it is true that this month there have been other sports that they have occupied many hours in the television. We release in Notasdefútbol a new section a selection of other sports approaches the lovers of the soccer for when the soccer disappears of the TV set for a few hours. And they are great. And for it, what better that to sweep for house. In Weblogs SL we have other blogs who do not speak about soccer, and that I am sure that (if you do not know yet them) you will be interested in.

This week we want to share with you a series of interesting posts that have been raised in the rest of sports publications of the house. Moto22, RacingPasión, FueradeLímites and SaliraaGanar are part of the set of the sports blogs of Weblogs SL.

To start, to present an interview published in SaliraGanar to you: You does not the struggle-Real sound Madrid of the League with the duopoly that exists in handball, between Ciudad Real and Barcelona? Talant Dujshebaev, technician of the team of La Mancha, spoke this week for SaliraGanar. Part 1 and Part 2

In Moto22, a curious video that it is sure to the moteros that you the situation will sound. To the sure friend who him would not go badly a little of muscle, or already inestimable help of a Touré Yayá, a Zokora or a Cristiano Ronaldo.

I am sure of that many of you you dejásteis for the hour of Study Stadium the Mestalla appointment between the Valencia and the Sporting. And the fact is that at the same hour it was beginning an event that has hooked million Spanish. The final of the Eurobasketball 2009, where the selection delighted us with another title for our shop windows. Who would say to us that we might enjoy the selections of soccer and basketball like champions of Europe! The SaliraGanar partners have continued the Eurobasketball up to the Spanish gold.

The FueradeLimites partners bring an innovation over to us for those fans of the golf (that they are, and many). I am sure that Guti already has in his power this new invention of the world of the golf.

And to finish with the revision of this week, a polemic topic that it affects to the future of one of ours. The notice to Renault for the matter of Singapore 2008 and the expulsion of the chief of Fernando Alonso of the Formula 1, Flavio Briatore. I hope shortly we see, finally, the Asturian of red.

When Bojan and company did a good European Sub17 they lacked time to come to the first team. That generation, whom I had called a generation Bojan, was rewarded when the first team of the Barcelona needed Bojan Krkic, when the Murcia did the proper thing with Dani Aquino or the Athletic one of Madrid with Camacho.

It turns out to be curious that two years later, with the generation of ninety-two, these have realized an European Sub17 worse enough than those of ninety, on the other hand more players have come to the first team and more soon. It might resort to the idea of calling the whole generation by his most talented soccer player, who well might be Iker Muniain, but I prefer to change the tone.

In pre-season a good number of canteranos of the year ninety-two, that is to say, with sixteen or seventeen years, already enjoyed parties in the first team. The agreeable thing is that most of those canteranos have made debut in the First Division and it even has someone back with the first staff.

Curiously, one that was not to the last European Sub17 was the malagista Edu Ramos, who at present is one more in the Muñiz staff. What is to say of Marc Muniesa, that it had his bitter début last year and more than demonstrated that it is a Money box weakness. The mattress-maker Koke or the zaragocista Kevin Lacruz also have the confidence of his trainers and both have already made debut with his respective teams, and it does not seem that it has been possibly. But undoubtedly the player of the generation of the nonseam and two that more the Navarrese Iker Muniain shines is, that is surely that it will come far.

One that is not in the first team is the Real Madrid supporter Pablo Sarabia. It is normal that it does not count in Real Madrid of the galactic ones since you cover with stars and canteranos is something that in the white house is scolded. I believe that the golden zurdito of the white quarry should be in the first staff more soon that late, also with Pellegrini at the head of the ship since I am convencidísimo that will be a player that he will like for four sides, of those that they go with the style of the Chilean technician.

With a little of delay, but here there comes the analysis of the day of this last weekend. On horseback between the third one and the fourth one there came to me the moment to take a good cold, and the fact is that this radical change of the temperatures I do not believe that it has been good for anybody. Nevertheless, to remain with fever in bed to I allowed to see this week end more divided than of custom.

And I drink with all that one that the derbi of Manchester saw, and throw a currency to the air: why are almost all the references to this party highly positive, one speaks about partidazo and about healthy envy if there was no game in the midfield? He was an authentic streetwalker, a siege between goal and goal, without any piece that was controlling the rhythm and with moves that were not overcoming four consecutive passes. In what do we stay? Do we like the parties of seven goals with rhythm frantic or parties of two or three so many people with game and break in the midfield? Less evil that in Spain we have to the Barca, which gives to us of two things.

To ours. Since the holder prays, the League wins for heavy defeat. It is difficult to me to remind a period in which our competition should overcome in number of goals noted down to the Premier, to the Calcium and to the Bundesliga. At the end of the third day, the teams of the League have perforated the opposite goal in 89 occasions (16 goals more that in the previous period). In England, Italy and Germany, when it concluded the third day (this week they have disputed the sixth one), 66, 76 and 79 had been the goals marked by his clubs, respectively. Numbers from which we can extract a conclusion: there stands out the ‘given one’ of our First Division.

A fact that does not surprise me by no means, if we bear in mind that Real Madrid and Barcelona have marked the sensitive to cold number of 21 goals between both in the first three days (to 7,3 goals for party). And if, also, two players of those who head the scorers table, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, have marked in each of the disputed parties. And with Town, top goal-scorer along with the portuguese of Madrid, marking them to pairs. With objective information in the hand we can enter the everlasting debate, because opinions are for all the tastes. But, presently, the League wins for heavy defeat.
