The victory in the yesterday clash had been indicated as vitally for the classification or, rather, for the classification without getting into problems. Money box and Touré had warned of the danger of the Russian teams at this point of competition (the Spanish Link is beginning to roll and the Russian in your icy moment). But let’s not deceive: both in the outskirts of Camp Nou and in the tables of the bars one was waiting for one night of those in which the Barca dazzles or, at least, it scores, in the style of the past course.

To thirty seconds the culés had already come to the Russian small area; a minute later, Valdés was gathering the ball of the network. A blow with a ball that Márquez sees to come to your free area of immediate pressure, puts badly the foot in the control and the rebound takes his Ryazantsev, which pastes a trallazo to the square to which Valdés could not come. It is not possible to impute him so much to a bug of the Mexican defender since the style of the Baça demands that the head offices should download this balls font to the lawn to exit playing from behind.
But the true only thing is that Rubin Kazan went forward and your plan became stronger: your intention of defending with two lines of four and of exiting to her against occasionally turned more opportune that since the party never began 0-1. Kurban Berdyev, the Russian trainer, was fighting on your tasbith to be grateful to him for the goal to Allah and to ask him that ninety minutes should happen as rapidly as possible. Money box for his part, viewed that the script was complicated after beginning the movie, especially after Ryzhikov will extract two spectacular hands to each auctions of Ibrahimovic and Pedro.

The blaugrana tried to continue to his. The ball was exiting from the feet of Piqué and Márquez (who played to the detriment of Puyol), searching the thousand and movements of desmarque of Xavi and Iniesta, who yesterday returned to the mediapunta, leaving the left wing to a willful but slightly effective Pedro. Above Ibrahimovic was searching your site between two important head offices that were throwing the line enough passes under the orders of the Spanish César Navas. Messi tried it of all the ways: waiting in the lime line, downloading to support, throwing itself to the center of the attack … it will be possible to accuse him of without being thin, as to Iniesta and Xavi, but to any of them it is possible to impute his anything more: they move back not even a minute in your determination to receive and to move the ball, but the ball does not scroll as it usually did it.

This is the problem of the Barca or, when less, the intrinsic problem: the ball does not circulate to the rhythm that was doing the past period and the rivals have the very learned lesson. The set blaugrana needs that your small ones are outstanding: a notable one in your notes is not sufficient to impose a vertiginous rhythm that does that any attempt of stopping them is unfruitful. Messi for his part, is what is what is affecting him to your game, it has not just broken the defenses for already a few parties. It goes away of one, of two, even of three, but when it manages to avoid the first input data, or there is too much far from the goal or is already too much late to touch it to a partner whose desmarque was correct before the last dodge of the rosarino.

To the return of the rest the Barca tied thanks to Ibrahimovic’s great goal (minute 47); after a good cut pass of Xavi, the Swedish did a control of faced breast and, in less than he sings a rooster, it was turned and dropped a stamp between the legs of your mark that logged in crossed without the doorman c do nothing. The whole second part ahead to score a goal more that was extracting Rubin of your field, although, to tell truth, the Russian team defended with the quite anticipated line: a good resource against a Barca that already does not have Eto’o to scroll to the back of the defense and with a Messi who only searches the ball to the foot.

The Money box field kept on playing without fluency in spite of the goal and the minutes were happening. In 73, a ball lost in Russian field fell down to the feet of the ‘Knife’ Domínguez. Two for three, with Piqué and Márquez hoping that other should exit to the ball and Abidal accompanying the move without sprinting to ceiling. Some for others, he marries it without sweeping: the Argentinian puts the ball to Karadeniz and this one happens to cross it far enough of Valdés. 1-2, Camp Nou silences and Kurban Berdyev on the verge of bursting the accounts of your rosary.

Bottomless of closet with players of attack (after the Bojan input for Pedro only it remained seated Jeffren) the Barca did the only thing that he had left for doing: to put Rubin in your area and to hope that a genius or a stroke of luck should give him the opportunity to tie. And it could do it: Zlatan and Touré ordered each balls to the wood, but the party finished without much ado goals.

The Barca takes two goals in three parties (1-0 to the Almeria, 0-0 in Mestalla and 1-2 yesterday event), but more that the absence of goal worries the slow rhythm with which it moves the ball. Without the frenzied speed that acquired the past period, the culés are converted into a predictable team, which touches in excess and there come to the area accumulating too many people (both proper and the opposite). Without this fluency that last year converted it into the most admired square of last weather, it ends up by being a blunt team, victim of its own style.

The optimistic side: the Dynamo of Kiev booted a tie in field of the Inter and the Group F it remains like that: Barcelona, Dynamo and Rubin, with 4 points in this order, and Inter bottom team with 3. Therefore, the Barca depends on himself and it will have the opportunity to give a blow of authority in the Russian field (November 4). Of course, it will come to the party accumulating enemies: to proper Rubin, to the pressure and autodemand, it will be necessary to add General Invierno.

The pessimistic side: the team, with Money box to the head, must manage to be reinvented to himself, because many adversaries will play him as the Almeria or Rubin has done it, and he will have to answer, not so much for his own demand but more for the need to exorcize the pressure to which it will be submitted. And even the worst news stays: Dani Alves withdrew injured person in the discount. It plows fibrilar, three weeks of fall and without spare (possibly be Puyol the one that falls down to band) because the managing address was not capable of covering this square during the whole summer.
