To do the maximum thing with the minimal thing
Fat error for the lovers of the spectacle that of Pep Guardiola on having stopped in the stool to his ultraoffensive trident: Messi, Ibrahimovic and Iniesta. Big error because the Guatemalan’s public not only got bored with the bad game of his team, denied facing the goal, but also it lacked the soccer to which it has used to the world the Barcelona. The Catalan picture did of minimal his maxim and it was not up to the exit of three luxurious substitute ones when anything of good soccer was glimpsed in Jerez de la Frontera.
He was titular Bojan, Pedrito and Henry in attack. None of the three went out string puller and it was reflected in the scoreboard, in the occasions and in the absence of art on the field of play. The Xerez tried to plant facing the beginning and managed to wash awful image of last weekend in Getafe. Those of Ziganda scarcely approached the area of Víctor Valdés in the first time, something that almost also did the Barca with that of Renan. In search of the impossible one, the Xerez could bear an act of the meeting with zero goal in his goal.
But it was to go out of the wardrobes and the Barcelona to make use of his given one. A center from the left of yesterday evening titular Maxwell finished off it with the head Henry to pass to theirs. French had already tried without fortune in some of the sporadic approaches to the goal his cornflower, but the rear rival proved to be always very serious and tidy, a little to bear in mind but that of little it costs if above the gunpowder walks exaggeratedly wetted. The Xerez, if it is not reinforced in winter or a blow of effect comes, is going him to find it hard to be saved very much.
This way, with the first one of the night, many were those who were afraid of a goals sack. But it was not like that. A Barca without ideas extracted maximum profit of his minimal occasions and the leader was finally capable of getting rid of an uncomfortable bottom team. Money box extracted his three stars of the stool and the soccer visitor began shining. Messi had it but it beat in the stick, Iniesta trumped the clearest occasion and Ibrahimovic, with a subtle touch, noted down the definitive one 0-2. A victory in a field of those where the Leagues are gained and that leaves to the culés, with one more party, five points over Real Madrid.
