Messi prevents the Barca from suffocating in Almeria
Yesterday evening the Barcelona accumulated nonsenses before a team directed by an old dog. Juan Manuel Lillo came undone in praises towards the Barca, his trainer and his players during the whole week but, come the hour of the truth, it did not cheat itself: the circulation of the ball of the Soccer Club Barcelona is not the one that was. This way, he arranged tactics that many have already used fruitlessly, but it went out for him well: the team much juntito, good closed about his area, with two defensive lines, going out to her against, etc …
An already well-worn exposition and that the Barca has destroyed repeatedly during these two years. Yesterday it was not like that. First because the Almeria could make the most of the opportunity when Domingo Cisma marked the first one with an impeccable testarazo and second because, after the goal of the tie, the Lillo picture neither was dismantled nor gave symptoms of general panic, anything in what there fall down most of rivals of the Barca.
The party had a secondary actor who fought for a principal role: collegiate Clucks Gómez. First it delayed the beginning because he did not want that the Almeria was going out with a T-shirt that it was saying: Force Chile! The bird came to the regulation I do not know what of International Board and according to it, the point I do not know how much prays this way:
The obligatory basic equipment will not have to have political, religious or personal messages.
That is to say: it is not possible to put “He votes for Jesus”, not “Jesus is my Gentleman”, not “Jesus: do you want to marry me?”. Nothing says the norm on the united or humanitarian messages, so the Clucks chicken Gómez for not knowing cannot even interpret a text of the simplest thing. Already in the party, first there was invented a transfer so rigorous that not even the culés were going to ask for it. And skylight, someone should have said to him for the pinganillo that it had put the shrimp and, from here on, it went crazy and began traveling from one end to other, always trying to compensate the previous error.
Messi’s great goal of absence that supposed the tie comes from an absence that is invented: it was not an infraction either of one or of other, simply a powerful Ibra jump over a smaller man. He expelled to Money box for saying to the linier “you whistle at everything the other way round, you do not find out about anything”. I do not want to imagine what it would do if there was chicken in his prostitute mother. And already in the second part, completely out of himself more dependent on his image than of the party, he decided to expel Ibrahimovic because it turned a hard struggle into the area in an aggression. It is clear that the Swedish is wrong: one more party in which it does not appear and ends up by losing the head; it must not be expelled for violent, but perhaps yes for idiot. The case is that struggles like that there is thousand in every córner and as very much it should have been a yellow card. Of course, to Schism one of two: or the Goya one gives to the actor revelation or a sanction gets as it would be necessary to do with all these personajillos that exaggerate the pain.
Him the Selections shutdowns do not feel good to the picture of Pep Guardiola: the baggage is of a victory and three ties in such situations. And if still above Puyol, in his emulation to do everything, puts a ball that belonged already to Valdés in proper door, the situation complicates you even more. Less evil that they take a player as Messi, one of those that, when it is plugged, even the rebounds him fall down to his feet.
But good, the case is that the Barcelona is not well. The ball does not move with the speed of earlier, not with the intention. Too much horizontal touch, too many slowness … this way the team rival has time to cerrase well about his area. In last two months the only player of midfield up that has had certain regularity has been Messi (top goal-scorer of the League with 19 so many people): Iniesta has not just broken from the band, Xavi is so tired (it accumulates more parties than anybody) that takes months without dominating an entire party: I do not say giving good passes, like that marvel of the previous day, but dominating the rhythm of the meeting; it does not do it. And what to say about Ibrahimovic: when a forward adds up more it was of game that shots, bad matter. Henry neither is one nor waits for him and Pedro is not going to save you the furniture every weekend.
I agree in that in any comparison with the spent period the today Barca goes out losing. Pep already said it on having begun the League and the Catalan press (with little or void criticism capacity towards his team) he has got into debt in fleeing of comparative happiness. But this is what exists: with whom would you compare Cervantes but with the proper Cervantes? Although it is clear that it does not also take to any side to compare the rest of his work with the ‘Quixotic’, because next to you everything seems minor. The same happens to the Barca: last year was the perfection and, therefore, practically impossibly to be equal.
It is necessary to criticize the game of the Barca, the absence of fluency, the slowness, the quantity of passes that do not serve for anything … proper Money box knows that something does not go badly when it plays two days continued with 4-2-3-1, looking that at least Messi breaks so many slowness with his vertical position, offering him the way of the field so that his dodge has gone out for all the directions. Now, it is not necessary to fall down in the pessimism: as for the points, we are before the best Barcelona of the history, good placed to go on to Quarters of the Champions and, after suffering the inevitable annual hole, it is joined to points with Real Madrid and losing the leadership simply for the goals difference.

Real Madrid is a leader after mending before the Seville
Congratulations meringues of the world for the victory of your team. It is necessary to say little to the sevillistas unless Palop with ten years less would cost ten times more than it costs already. To those who have lost the meeting I am not going to give them the condolence, but almost. Internet is so magic that he allows you to correct errors as big as not have seen Real Madrid – very big Seville, as big as both clubs, his players and his love.
I came late to my appointment with a blonde to see to ventidós uncles to kick to a ball. So late that I had no time to see like one of those kicks it was serving to note down a goal in own goal. For incredible that the first half seems it ended this way, with only one goal in the luminous one. In the second half the Seville did the zero to two and as in the first forty five minutes, it was in the first compases. Xabi Alonso, the same one who had broken the zero to zero, was committing a terrific mistake on having stooped in an innocent person lacking in Dragutinovic and when Casillas wanted to react the leather was already kissing the network.
Real Madrid pawned in they all attack inside that it abused a Sergio Ramos playing of end and helping in defense to open a little the field. Real Madrid with very much bone and little meat, but juicy. A reminded Arbeloa and Lass left his place to Van der Vaart and Guti. The planes of the engineer could not work better. Fourteen target did what better he can do: to play. Between passes and intelligent intentions a zurdazo extracted that the ball went out spat by the crossbeam. It was the beginning of a nice friendship between Mrs. Ball and Mr. Crossbeam since after that one the first appointment they had more meetings.
Cristiano Ronaldo in small area noted down the first one of the places and a few minutes later, between miracle and divine work of Palop, Sergio Ramos disguised himself of sevillista and in a córner and did the tie, when it was reducing time in abundance to reach the recovery. The last change of Pellegrini was to give entry to Raúl, the party was for him, to give exit to Kaká, another party that was not for him, and they go already a few … I Still keep on thinking if the applauses of the love were going for the next soccer player, for the protrusion or straight for the trainer.
Real Madrid of the second half attacked with the same intensity that in the first part, but it made it better. Cristiano Ronaldo put himself in band and more that it never put itself to the service of his partners. In the midfield there was Xabi Alonso, Guti and They go der Vaart and the progress was clear. The sticks and Palop were supporting the tie while the Seville was bearing how cat paunch arrives. The recovery was seeming to be a time thing but the time was happening and the recovery was not coming. Four minutes of extension were added and when two were remaining Sergio Ramos it put it in the long stick, Higuaín her fought and They go der Vaart put it. Real Madrid had won to the Seville that joined to the tie of the Barcelona they it place leader of The League but the sensation was of having won slightly greatly more than that.
Soccer phrases: on the Gauls, the destabilizing ones, the linier mediático and that of the Strong Apache
This week has been marked by the friendly arrangements for the World cup of South Africa, emphasizing, how it could not be otherwise, the France – Spain. In my post on the party I left in the inkwell the reactions of the French press (we all read the Spaniard, more or less, and we are interested in every day less). And so, I will begin this new delivery of Phrases of Soccer with three of the holders most emphasized from the mass media of beyond the Pyrenees:
L’Equipe: Another world.
France Football: A Spanish lesson.
Him Parisien: Bleus were defeated by them to them by a Spanish selection at a height of his reputation.
And I finish with the declarations of the seleccionador, Raymond Domenech, who seems that it has discovered the gunpowder, and the captain, Tierry Henry, who lived in his meats through the powerlessness that there feel many of the rivals who play against his team:
I confirm that Spain is an authentic favorite for the World cup. We knew the quality of his game and of his players and we have confirmed it.
It is very nice to see Spain for the TV, but playing against them it is impossible to take the ball from them … It is impossible to take it from him.
Xavi Hernández knows very well how dangerous it is to stop that they hang the favorite’s vitola to you and has wanted to contribute his sand granite to brake the euphoria:
I have gone to two World cups and without having gained anything they have always given to us like favorites. He imagines now after having gained an Euroglass. It is good that the people bear us in mind but in World Spain has not done yet anything. We cannot put ourselves pressure for gaining the Euroglass and being more favorite than other teams that they have gained the World cup other times.
We return to France but not to continue with the rattle, but to emphasize a few words of big Zinedine Zidane, speaking on the origin of his love for the soccer, in an exclusive interview of ‘The Country’:
The soccer begins being played in the street, there you learn that you are not alone in the world and that there are others who want the same that you, who can help you if you help them. I like seeing the tennis, but it might not have done a career in the tennis. I like being with the partners. When you exchange things with others, you improve.
Monchi, in addition to a crack piece without comparison in the world of the signings, is a guy with personality who does not speak very much but, when it does it, it deserves to be listened. Before the noise of the press of Madrid in search of destabilizing the rivals of his announced favorite contacts for future signings, which proper Real Madrid does not deny to take advantage of the conjuncture, has said the following thing in reference to the supposed interest of the club meringue for Jesus Navas:
The news has a birth, a development and a later phase. We are going to see his trip, once the Saturday party happens. If it continues, we will give him more contained to that that we think many from which, in certain parties, there always arises the interest of some player that, by chance, I say that thing about by chance with irony, he is going to be a rival of Madrid shortly.
In the first return Madrid already loved Perotti; with the Athletic, to Javi Martínez; with the Racing, to Channels; with the Barcelona, the clauses of Messi and Iniesta become more accessible.
I continue with a pair of Spanish trainers who are doing a few big periods with the humble wickers which they have. The first one, Miguel Ángel Lotina, is not satisfied with the game of his team and, after the victory of the Dépor on the Xerez, he wanted to make the above mentioned point clear:
The team has to go a long way more. It is inexcusable that now we do not play football, because the situation is the most comfortable of the First Division since we do not have the demand of entering either Europe or pressure the descent. If we do not play well it is a shot sticks.
And as regards the fact of which the Dépor plays with the teams that have done the proper thing with Madrid in the previous day, he declared the following thing, quite inside a quite sarcastic tone:
Madrid is hurting us very much. In the first return the whole world was playing well against them, although then they were losing, and were coming as more convinced to play before the Dépor. Now not, now Madrid is crushing the rivals and they want to demonstrate these before us who are not so bad. He would ask him to Madrid to lower a little the piston if it is possible …
And next three fragments of different declarations of the good one of Juanma Lillo, a little long but the fact is that they have no loss:
On the party against the Barca: If it is possible to keep on supporting both things (good game and results) and especially the first thing as vehicle to support the second thing, this is what we would like, still knowing obviously that we are going to play against the enemy with whom it is more difficult to support during more time the initiative because only there is a ball and normally they (…) usually have it Against the Barca it is not played as he loves, but as one can.
On Pep Guardiola: Pep, for some, is good for the results that it has obtained, when Pep is good in himself. It is very good, apart from being an exceptional person up to Lima (…) He Is a trainer for 37 years, what it spends is that for the way it played football …
On André Iniesta and cía: It is the best of the world. I believe that the others have more dependency on him that he of the others and that harmonizes very much everything what happens. The people express themselves better when he is that when not. Xavi is different that it improves constantly the conditions of the game, but if he listens to this Messi seizes you and divides you in two, because his capacity so that the parties fall down and all this collective game has where he has to have sense, which is in the scoreboard, like him nobody.
We come in the end with one of these soccer personajillos that can only exist in Spain after centuries and centuries of evolution. Only this way it is understood that the whole country has between his most memorable phrases that of an umpire to his linier. Yes, I speak about Rafa Guerrero, alias: ‘Rafa, do not fuck me!’. The most famous linier of the last quarter of century has wanted to break a spear in favor of a partner, the fact that this weekend will see the day between yogures and beer canisters, and has made me calmer to me (I do not know if to Relaño and Hindu …):
Iturralde will not decide the League.
And La Perla of the Day is for one of the ugliest persons of the world of the soccer. So, so ugly that neither the engineers of Pro Evolution nor those of the Fifa have achieved that the face of his incarnation in the games does justice to the reality: there do not exist possible binary combinations that could draw anything so complex like the face of Carlos Tévez, The Apache. Also, it seems to me that very ready it is not, because his words aim at that feels proud of something that should give him shame:
In Argentina, Terry would be dead.
The cloudy present of Henry
In Dog Barca they live dependent on Henry. The French forward does not happen in a good moment; he knows it, admits it and that’s why it admits that a canterano as Pedro should be ahead. Money box trusts in his recovery and has gone out to the step of the criticism, those that give finished to him, that they place in the point of view, which points try to reduce to his professionalism. Everything seems to indicate in this only direction, and even in his selection it is controversial. The bad state of ‘they bleus’ does not make but to minimize his shade; to enlarge his history perhaps, but turbar his present. And this is a bad sign.
When one thinks about a player like what was, and not like what is, it is a sign of that do not blow of good winds. It is slightly natural, although not an unequivocal sign. There are players who recover and surprise all, although it is true that Henry approaches at the age of 33 and has margin small to improve. After a long and successful career — having beaten records scorers and cattle the most important qualifications both of clubs and of selections — ‘Marmoset‘ approaches to his end. Nevertheless, French is characterized by his professional seriousness, and it is possible that his ambition allows him to recover his form, not only facing the World cup but also to help to the Barca in the final straight line of the period, when the League and the ‘Champions’ are in the horizon.
Henry admits that if it has no minutes it loses the form, and Money box is capable of giving him the entitlement to keep silent about mouths. The trainer, with his peculiar style of ‘humble titanium’, is pawned in recovering a good version of the Gallic attacker, and it is probable that it obtains it. The confidence is vital in these cases, and for it Pep goes out in defense of his player; for it he asks for comprehension to the step; for it it is ironic in his declarations, making to see all that yes, that not even the most opportune thing is easy to place someone come at least in the center of the criticism, to place it in the thick wall, but that is not the just thing, either for he or for the team.
It does not do so much that all the culés soñanan with Henry’s arrival. Then, of Ulis was interpreting daydream repertoires with the Arsenal. Everything was late one year, and seemed dying for many, who were considering the forward to be the only and inimitable piece. It is true, it it was. His speed, his stride, his gestures of quality and his goals had no comparison. It came to the Barca and achieved the continental title for that so much he was longing, that one that proper Barcelona nicked from him in the final of 2006. And soon — now — when scarcely we have been sorry to spend the time, already it is in the tightrope, in the malicious debate, in the suspicion and the nostalgia of better epochs. Epochs that are not such meanwhile almost the years have not happened. But in the soccer everything goes at a frenzied speed, more than in the life if it fits.
The follower of the Barca is intelligent. But also intelligent is Money box, and that’s why it has been anticipated to everything, warning that it is not convenient to ill-treat Henry. He does not want hisses that of Santpedor, not to anybody like head of Turk if the things do not go too much good. And it is right in warning it with advance, in giving mulberry tree lessons publicly, so it is the only way of communicating with the step. Henry has not left many years of soccer, but the ideal thing for the Barca is that it delivers what it has in a suitable ambience, without absurd polemics or tension.

The Muñiz children
When Luis Enrique came to the stool of the Barcelona Atlètic the Terrassa it was reinforced by players of branch blaugrana that the raw Asturian trainer did not want. Dani Toribio did scale in Terrassa after going on from the branch of the Barca to the Malaga B.
In pre-season Muñiz it taught us the quantity and quality of the quarry of the Malaga. A soccer player as Edu Ramos, of only dicieséis years, already has back with the first team. It serves like clear example of the capacity of confidence of Muñiz towards the promises of the club.
That young people alavancha peloteros was not a good night kiss and when Muñiz began good she did not change his script and trusted in Iván González as I fix in the defense and to Manu Torres as a project discovery of big side street.
The quantity of canteranos that are adding leading role in eleven initial malacitano they go to more every day. The jovencísimo Edu Ramos, is major next to the battering-ram Juanmi, which has made debut with goal in the present course and which soon we will see noting down more so many people with Spain Sub17.
Muñiz is not any inexpert one giving ball to the youngest, it already did it in the Racing of Santander and it keeps on doing it in the Malaga. The bet by the quarry is clear and convincing but especially risked. The Malaga is a brave club, perhaps the conditions force him to it.
