The Barcelona returned to the Molinón of a way very different from last year. In that moment the team of Money box only was adding a point in two days and either they were beginning hearing voices of the style “Either it was me who was saying that this one had left big the Barca”. It gained 1-6 and, since then, it has gained six qualifications and his trainer is one of the most important figures of the modern soccer. But not for it the Barca did not take seriously the yesterday party and, in fact, Pep extracted everything what it has, without reservations.

With disabled Alves and Puyol displaced to the side street, he was Márquez the one that, during the week, gained himself a position in eleven along with Piqué, with which couple formed for the first time this period (the past course was most used). Big party of the Mexican, whom many had already evicted; with the yesterday head offices couple, the Barca wins very much in the exit of the ball, because another team cannot have two guys covering the central two, leaving to his back Busquets, Xavi and company.
The Sporting is a team that has gained itself the respect of all and the friendliness of many. Headed by the good one of Manolo Preciado, the key of the team is in the collective effort, in the order, in the solidarity between partners … Of course, they have a player that I like every day more (although yesterday it was not completely well): Of the Caves. But yesterday the Barca played one of his best parties at defensive level and the control on the game of his midfield was absolute. The passes, the movements, the pemutas, etc, were at a height of the big parties of the Barca. Nevertheless, all this game boasting did not find continuity in the attack area.

Messi was very well, it went away of everything the one that wanted, when he wanted, but it was not very close to the goal. Ibrahimovic had an ugly day; and I say ugly and not badly because I believe that it was not either as badly as have heard and read. Certainly facing the goal it was not hit and, in every trumped occasion, his gestures were denoting certain nervousness and anxiety. But it is not necessary to allow seeing the great thing that contributes his team with his movements pivotantes, and is that his alone presence fixed at the edge of the area forces to the head offices to close, enabling the entry for band of his partners. It is sure that will not be missing who remembers Eto’o, but it will do it from the ignorance, because if it has seen the Cup Africa that the neroazzurro has done …

The one that not of to add points is Pedro, both in his individual calculation and for the team. Yesterday Money box left Henry in the stool, so discussed lately. For me it is playing better than last year, it being more desequilibrante, opening very much the game blaugrana, but the goal is denied of face and that, with Pedro in grace, it can finish with taking many minutes from him. And the fact is that that thing about the canary is impressive: rare it is the day that goes out and does not do a key contribution for his team. Yesterday, once again, his clairvoyance before the doorman gave three points to his team and not only that, but if the Ibra butt to the post had not been out of game, Pedro would have scored his second goal, because there it was he who was with the cane prepared in the suitable place.

The goal served so that more trasnochados have raised another polemic. First they say that Messi extracts the absence where it has not to. I do not agree: the spirit of the arbitration must fulfill the premise of that the one that commits absence does not extract advantage of it, so it seems logical to me that the braided ribbon allows to extract rapidly, although the ball is not in the exact place; another thing is if five meters are extracted further on, but in case of yesterday Messi extracts exactly from the point to which it was going before he needed. For me, nothing to object. And as for the assumption out of Pedro’s game in the Iniesta pass, even with the repetitions it is difficult to see it, so imagine the umpire or the linier. And it is already known: before the doubt, it is necessary to allow to continue. The unpleasant of the matter is that more complaints are heard from Madrid than in Gijon …

Finally, the blaugrana did one of his best parties of the year to domicile, but it was been wrong in the last quarter of field. Money box must insist on this aspect: the parties that you have controlled it is necessary to kill them, because if it cannot to spend to you what happened opposite to the Osasuna; any error, any cannon can leave you with idiot’s face and two or three points less. The Barca is still a leader unconquered after nineteen parties and giving the sensation that to win him one needs little less than a planetary alignment. The Sporting, despite the defeat in the Molinón, will continue in half a table, sufficiently removed from the descent positions as to go forward without too many worries.

P.D. I go to the bath to be sick after the holder of the Expert sees on his web page: Villarato under the rain of Gijon.
