Faithful to his character and, especially, to his ideology, to Money box neither nothing nor nobody makes him doubt. The party of Kazan supposed an extra effort, for the party in itself, the climatology and the long trips of one country to other. So Pep believed that the team needed a change, to give rest to some, to put the batteries to others and to send a message to all: it has a waybill and he is going to die with her.

Of five indisputable ones, only it played Piqué; Alves, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi occupied a stool that is not used to receiving all of them on the same night. The midfield was formed by his burliest variant, Touré – Busquets – Keita and the right band for Puyol and Pedro, with which the blaugrana went out with his two strongest areas composed by secondary actors. A risky bet of the technical body after having tied in Pamplona and doing a point of six against Rubin. Money box played the face, because everything what was not to win and to convince would transport one week of for – qués.
That of Santpedor has gained himself the confidence to pulse (and with results) but the true thing is that, when the alignment was known, I remained missed. Bearing in mind that the party of this week is the return of the Cup against the Cultural From Leon one (0-2 in the going) and later the shutdown comes for the meetings of the Selections, the logical thing seemed that it was not reserving many people. But not: he trusted in the solvency of his team in Camp Nou (with this supreme victory five of five) to save wear to most of his stars. Let’s hope that ésto it should only to the rotations mechanics and should not give him for the trainer’s attacks so harmful that occasionally had his teacher Cruyff.

That it did not reserve was to Ibrahimovic and he put holder’s Henry again. The Swedish was spectacular and only it was necessary to him to finish off the function with a goal. It gives to his team his variants that the past course did not have; his backs game to the goal is perfect for the Barca: it offers supports in shortly to the midfielders and gives him exit in length to the rearguard, because in addition to being capable of lowering balls that fall down of the sky, he returns them to the grass with clairvoyant criterion. But it does not limit itself to doing of Nine, because it presses the exit on contrary, bothers in every jump and falls down to band with opportunism, inviting to the false ends of the Barca to throw his natural diagonals. Nobody doubts that has goal (7 in what it goes of League) but it is that also it is getting uncovered like a big assistant (4 goal passes with that of yesterday). Yesterday evening it gave us an exquisiteness in the first goal of the party, with a splendid touch of heel that enabled Pedro so that the canary was defining with slowness before Aouate. A pass that was a half a goal and this way his partners recognized it after themselves on having swirled around him.

Majorca went out with a midfielder more habitual thing, although it did not seem that it had intention of getting behind like most of adversaries of the Barca. Although skylight, the first goal being scored in the minute 10, the parties tend to take courses different from the pronounced lines. A good combination that Valdés settled with a meritorious hand before a Webó shot, gave him to Majorca a córner that did not manage to clear Piqué, enabling involuntarily Nunes, which finished off to the network (min. 20).

When the Barcelona always receives a goal he has left pout; more if this one comes from an idle ball: it seems that to the players it invades a defeat sensation, something like Again they have fixed it to us of head … Also they are late usually a little bit in touching the ball again with wise move and the errors do not do any more that to accentuate the long faces. It is then when a team as the culé needs that one of his cracks appears. Once again and few ones do not go, Pedro emerged in his slope opportunist and it clinched to the network a ball that found after Aouate was doing three paradones to each shots blaugranas (min. 40).

The happiness returned to Camp Nou (starting by the faces of the eleven of Pep) and before the rest the Barca made use of his renewed frame of mind to pull the slate. The umpire whistled at an absence in the rail of 10, Pedro extracted it towards the second stick, Busquets touched it of head to another side and Henry finished in iron (min. 44). There is not doubt that the move was tested: the Canary end raised the arm to indicate it while Busquets was located in not dangerous area and became the absent-minded person; before the career of the pitcher, all the auctioneers went away to the first stick, taking with them to his pairs to liberate the second stick; even there Busi came after a gallop with fixed destination and when it put it where it was planned, there was up to three partners waiting. It finished off the hungriest, Henry, and celebrated it with anger releasing a kick to the wood. I do not know very well why, so if with anybody it must be angered it is with itself.

The Barcelona went away to the rest without recovering his best game but having practically solved the party. He keeps on lacking fluency and rhythm in the pass, but the yesterday alignment, without The Small ones, does not serve to advance in the diagnosis of the above mentioned evil. Money box rubbed the hands because quite it was going out according to the planned and arranged that there was going out Messi (for Pedro, min. 51), possibly with the intention of which it was meeting Majorca broken to that to be able to get involved it with one of his slalom. Ten minutes later it extracted Xavi for Busquets, thinking perhaps in that the young man will have to play against the Cultural one. It should have seemed unjust to him to leave the Iniesta good one in the stool, since the native of La Mancha was chosen to go out for Henry, I change with that his trainer wanted to give his fortitudes to the Frenchman, offering him the personified applause of Camp Nou.

There was a good entry in the stadium (77.500) and some of the spectators whistled Chygrynskiy or, when less, they murmured the sufficient thing so that the noise was coming to Puyol, who in his role of immaculate captain, worried for the Ukrainian. The criticism of Chygrynskiy does not seem fair to me. Yesterday particularly Piqué was enough more fallón than he although also it is necessary to say that credit has been gained more. Nevertheless, I do not believe that one is treating him exactly because after all Chygrynskiy takes not even a dozen of parties with the Barca and every player needs an adaptation period; more in case of a defender (a forward can always pull of fixing a goal although it plays horribly) and moreover talking each other of the Barca of Money box. If the problem is the price, where there is that glance is the theater box, where there sit down those who paid, or to the stool, where is who demanded it.

The League and Camp Nou have extracted the smile again to the Barcelona just when one week appears before him without complications. For much that says the opposite, insurance that Money box will make use of the time to think about the Champions. He was not even counting himself in spite of the fact that the first final of the period was in November, but this way is the matter: to the return of the shutdown, he will have to visit to the Athletic (exit not comfortable at all), to stake it against the Inter (Tuesday, the 24th) and to finish the week receiving Real Madrid. So seeing the one that approaches and foreseeing the wear of the chosen ones (the Spanish, for example, will play first against Argentina and then they will travel to Austria, quite in four days), Money box did not find another moment to give a little any more of rest to his stars. The move went out for him well: 4-2 and all contentments.
