When a party begins with a goal as early as the one that Messi marked in the minute 6 everything changes. The conditions of the duel turn out to be shaken, especially for those who receive so much. Before such a situation, most of teams usually feel in the obligation to come to a plan B, that almost always happens for defending further down and looking for a more direct soccer. There it is when one sees of what it is made a team, if it has confidence in his style and if his trainer has the necessary ancestry so that his wards do not leave the planned way.

Míchel’s Getafe demonstrated to be one of these teams, because although the Barcelona controlled the possession after so much, the deep blue ones were not cracked, kept on defending enough it arrives (they did not allow to touch in shortly the first goal kick of the Barca) and pressed very well with a helps system so united as effective. And the best thing of everything is that when they recover the ball, they try to play football as far as possible, although it is in Camp Nou.
But in the minute 30, the movie suffered an unexpected draft again: Piqué gained itself the red one with an excessive entry and badly studied, leaving his team with ten and a world ahead. And since the Getafe had not left the party, he did not waste the occasion to put to the Barca in serious problems. When it had the ball, he handled it well and when not, it annulled the circulation blaugrana drowning it in the first phase. It began to finish moves and Valdés had to be there before the attempts of Miku and Soldier. Then it emerged the figure of Andrés Iniesta, who came to the rescue of his team.

When worse the Barca was spending it to construct some soccer, Iniesta left the left band and began to appear there where they needed it. He asks for the ball always, without the minimal apex of fear to lose it, plays it and continues in movement prepared for the following help. His contribution to the calmness of the team is unpayable, and more being the blaugrana a team with certain tendency to lose the head occasionally. And also it still gives us some luxury as the quiebro overland that it him did to two deep blue ones in the precincts of his area, of those that start an admiration scream and return the smile to the step. An outstanding party of that of Fuentealbilla, which is again in his best tone.

The Barcelona was done little by little with the place and the Getafe did not finish with driving in the tooth before the rest. To the turned Money box it sat to Ibrahimovic, what along with Henry’s not call, denotes that the noise of the press does not matter to him on these two players (of course, that prepares himself, because this week they will give him the tabarra with both decisions). The Swedish had not just entered the party and scarcely it left a pair of free details, more circumstantial than another thing, between them an almost made goal that Rafa saved under sticks. That is fallón is not anything of another world, every forward happens in these moments, but in this party it gave samples of certain indolence, of lack of appetite, of slovenliness … noticing every error with a demonstration of anger that nothing brings to the team.

Some time after, three small blaugranas tacked one against which it left Keita in shot disposition; the maliense cut away the man who threw himself before his feet but he could not beat the doorman. The Geta never lost his it facing the party, came closer the area with assiduity but it did not throw to door too much and, when it did it, it met a perfect Valdés before the demand (although it took a pair of exits as a high place nowhere). The Barca improved positionally with the entry of Busquets and the change of positions, forming in 4-4-1 with Messi as more anticipated player.

In one of the balls that came to him in midfield, it started for the rail of eight, there being marked a diagonal inwards that Xavi could read to the perfection, crossing ahead and remaining alone. Four defenses for two attackers and to everyone worse: three of them remain with Messi and the quarter, Boateng, it remained to the trot, contemplating the event as if it was not with him. As not, it was the first one in asking out of nonexistent game to put the morello cherry to his shameful attitude. After a favorable rebound, the Argentine genius managed to enable his captain, who defined as they order the cánones in these cases, giving it for above, where the doorman can do nothing. Immense Messi: it scored the first goal beating him to the ball with a beautiful rosquita that avoided all the obstacles, it gave the assistance of the second one and it went away of everything the one that wanted as if it was playing with ten-year-old lads.

The Getafe lowered little arms after the goal and, although it kept on having an offensive vocation, the blaugrana did not have so many problems to go out to her against, the clearest again wasted by Keita in the typical doubt “shot or pass = bad shot”. Money box will be very satisfied with some of his players: in addition to The Small ones, Maxwell answered in the right side street (before the Alves fall at the last hour), going of less to more in safety, although it raised little the band, and I serve it was perfect in the cut, demonstrating that physically it is like a bull, although he needs to take the rhythm not to be wrong in the delivery. Big news that of the central Argentinian, since the trainer will need earlier the absences of Piqué and Márquez for the next exit, to the Caldron. And the fact is that the Mexican also was expelled, in his case for falling down in the pitfall of the rascal Kepa, very skillful intervening between the rear one and the ball and hoping that other should not have left different that to eat it.

The Barcelona finished with nine and it will not be missing who labels of rigorous both expulsion, but they are completely subject to the norm. It is true that Piqué does not hurt so much his victim, but the entry was so gross as unnecessary and yes I can hurt very much Rafa. Perhaps it could apply his that one to that of Márquez of “yellow and penalty is already sufficient punishment”, but it happens so close to the goal line … I do not also mean that Teixeira Vitienes was well, because in general lines I believe that it was not at a height of such a chaotic party from beginning to end. And if someone complains about the expulsion, others will extract Abidal’s supposed penalty or out of positional Ibra game in the first goal.

The barcelonismo must not fall down in the pitfall and enter the rag of the villaratistas. The culés will do weak favor to him to the ambience of the team if they enter comparisons, discussing with the apocalyptic meringues what side of the scales of the errors it weighs more. If one does not believe in the existence of anything (the same serves for the gods as for the conspiracies) the first thing that must not do is to begin to discuss with his prophets, since the existence of the debate is already an achievement for them. It is difficult to keep back (I have fallen down myself in his networks, as you all know, in a pair of occasions), but in such cases, there is no better scorn not to do appreciation. And if I do not convince anybody, who pays attention of what Pep him said to his players:

The umpires do not exist, there are no excuses.

P.D. About the rest of the wise words of Money box I will speak on Monday, in the next delivery of Phrases of soccer.
