More notes
Terminates Easter Passion in every way. Less desirable processions of the abundance of rain, but with a lot of football in between, closed Easter Sunday midway between the second classic and the first game of the semifinals of the Champions. One is taking notes and preparing for after the fourth stake, a more detailed post. I know may sound opportunistic, but I think this "serial" dogma does not support half of the film. Life is a mood and a football team too. 15 days ago, the club was very favorite. Two parties, with a drink in the middle, appears to have achieved turn the tide. At least until next Wednesday's game.
Indeed Mourinho was kept somewhat after the first classic. Real enough to advance its pressure line 25 meters to put him in a garden Blaugrana Barca is not used to it. Barcelona Guardiola era has lost very few matches, and he has done has been through a exchange of blows, as did Atletico Madrid in the Calderon the link above, for example, or the Inter at San Siro last year. The Catalans lost, yes, but generated winning times for the "pim-pam-pum" in which they became such meetings. The main novelty of last Wednesday is that the club did not throw a single time-to-door throughout the first half. The bad news for Real is that, despite its superiority, was not able to do even a single goal.
The reaction of Barcelona after the break was spectacular. Madrid do not think the Dred back off, rather I think that Barca pushed him with his football forever. For this you need to widen the field and putting a slower speed to the game. Could mark the Blaugrana, but then emerged the figure of Casillas, unpublished until minute 65. The problem is that such an effort Barca ended up hitting the wall. The last 10 minutes of the second part showed that Barca were already in stock and it took advantage of Madrid to be about to win the game in a great play by Di Maria.
In extra time it took 5 minutes to see that the momentum had changed. It was enough a long ball from Xabi Alonso to Christian, which won the race the whole Catalan defense with astonishing ease and fired a shot that grazed the crossbar, to see that equal efforts, the meringues were more whole. Soon after came the play of the goal and that was the game. Some were devoted to keeping the loot, although Adebayor could convict the end of extra time. The others could not reach a clear effort and paid on the second part.
Madrid has good news. On the one hand, it has realized that can beat Barca because tactical and physically, the team has arrived at its best at the end of the season. On the other, handle different records as requested by the script and finally seems to face the final stage of the season full of moral. However, it should remember that the white team also has been losing both games. The boat is still a great team and played two games have been a dog face. I disagree with those who say that Madrid played antifútbol. He did not play nice, it's different, but its pressure, order, discipline, occupation of space, support and coverage on defense, uncheck and vertical, were manual.
The ship arrived with the worst feelings. It seems that reached a peak in late January - early February and has not finished healing. Abidal disease, coupled with Puyol's injury, have left behind in the picture. However, continues to have Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. When the three connect, few can stand Zagas. Villa once again set and, again, has been winning the first two games of the series. Has many possibilities to move to the Champions League final too. He weighs, yes, the collective malfunction of a time now shows his behind. Surprisingly, from a distance, low self-criticism after the defeat FC Barcelona in the Cup final, but that I leave for my last post, no matter what happens on Wednesday.
So we got to the third week of swords classic style. I see 50%. Barca still more equipment, but gets physically and emotionally touched. Madrid, however, comes with more moral and more strength. I hope both parties as the two played so far. Very hard physically and psychologically, highly contested, with equal chances and with a final event in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich, in theory, favors the Catalans, but life, as I was saying, is a state of mind. Let the show begin!
