Not One, but Two El Clasicos

With two El Clasicos this week, one being in the Copa del Rey, the other being in La Liga, I thought 

it’d be a great opportunity to not only cover two matches, but to continue branching out from the Premier League and the Champions League.

First I think I have to say that the build up to every El Clasico (and in the last few years there have been what seems like 6 a season), the media bills it as the most important game to be played in the history of football, even if there are two in one week. Each El Clasico seems to either be a really good display of football or a showcase of play acting by Pepe and Sergio Busquets (and now Jordi Alba) and a lot of poorly timed tackles and protesting to the referee. Every game though, at least here in America, we get to listen to Ray Hudson’s commentary and his pet names for Ronaldo, Messi, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, and Ozil.

Copa del Rey (26 February 2013)

Barcelona remained unchanged from the side that suffered the 2-0 defeat to AC Milan (a match analysis can be read here), except for Barcelona’s Copa del rey keep, Pinto, who was brought into replace Valdes. Mourinho started with Varane and Ramos as the two centre backs, opting to keep Pepe on the bench.

With the match ending 3-1, Barcelona’s weaknesses have now been thoroughly exposed in the last two matches. AC Milan scored one goal from a combination of a counter attack and defensive error and one goal from a set piece. Real scored two goals from counter attacks and one from a set piece.

Real Madrid’s Shape

Mourinho’s decision to play Varane and Ramos was a little risky for a few reasons. The first and less substantial is that this was the first time that Varane would be playing at the Nou Camp and while the former Lens teenager has been reliable whenever called upon, he is only 19 and the atmosphere could have left him in awe, it didn’t and he struggled to hold back a smile while defending Barcelona’s next attack after scoring his header. Ramos though, was more of a liability as he tends to be over anxious, especially when playing against Barcelona and tonight, having to deal with Messi, it could have been another struggle, but he performed well.

One key to Madrid’s succes was the play of Xabi Alonso and not because of his passing, but rather his instruction and defensive play. Ramos didn’t get sucked out too wide or too high following Messi around as Alonso acted as something of a conductor for a trio of players in charge of marking Messi. Within the first few minutes this was evident was Alonso was almost on the right side touchline with Messi and you could also see him communicating with Ramos as to when Ramos should step to Messi and when to drop in.

The video below is a minute clip that I captured that shows Alonso communicating to his centre backs when to mark Messi and when he has him and also his protection of Coentrao, whom Barcelona tried to attack. Just watch how many times Alonso looks for Messi in just this minute clip and how many times he works with Ramos in defending Messi.

Alonso made it hard for the likes of Xavi and Busquets to get the ball into Messi’s feet by putting himself in front the Barcelona forward. If Ramos had been tasked with the job of pressing onto Messi, it would have opened up the space in behind the back four, which was already playing a surprisingly high line. 

Real’s Pressing

During Mourinho’s era at Real, when they play Barcelona, he has typically liked to have his team press high up the pitch so that Barcelona can’t play it out of the back, which is one of the ways to neutralize Barcelona’s attack. However, in this game, while they did press at times, they were usually more content with allowing Barcelona to try to pick out their passes. When this happened, Real typically found themselves in a 4-4-2:

Barcelona’s Weaknesses

If you watched the Milan match, you saw Fabregas and Iniesta on the left side, switching between who was wide and who would drift in. It was one of the problems that didn’t help Barcelona’s cause that day and it continued again versus Real. The problem it seems is that Fabregas lines up on the left side of the middle three and wants to get forward to link up with Messi, however, with Iniesta playing out wide on the left and wanting to cut in rather than really hug the touch line and open up space for Fabregas’ runs, the two end up wanting to get into the same space. You can see it in the average position graph from Whoscored.com which shows the pair (4 and 8) almost on top of one another.

                       

So without any real outlet on the left side, with Jordi Alba being contained well by Arbeloa and occupied by Di Maria, Barcelona tried to attack on the right with Pedro and Alves. Alves was usually able to get space as Ronaldo would stay high up the pitch, he ended up being Real’s highest player, and would drift inside. Alves used the space well enough overlapping and providing width to the attack„ as he does so well, and put in a good ball in the 33 minute, only for Fabregas to fluff his shot. Pedro, however, had a hard time getting by Coentrao, only getting one good ball in which was Messi’s first chance of the game two minutes in.

It’s well known that Barcelona are poor when their opponent’s counter attack, but it seems to be getting a bit worse under Vilanova and Jordi Roura. The Whoscored average positioning above also shows Pique and Puyol about ten yards away from one another. They are much more narrow than they would have been under Pep Guardiola, who would have had them a bit wider to cover the full backs, with Sergio Busquets dropping in between them to create a back three. Prior to bringing in Jordi Alba, Dani Alves was really the only truly adventurous full back that Barcelona had, with the likes of Abidal picking his moments wisely. With both full backs pushing high up the pitch, it opens all that space up for counter attacks to occur, which is where Real’s started. The image below is from a La Liga match played at the Bernabeu on 16 April 2011. Compare Pique and Puyol’s average positions compared to the Whoscored positions.

The first Real madrid goal came with Ronaldo receiving the ball on the wide right with plenty of space to dribble at Pique who ended up giving away a penalty. The same could have happened even if Busquets was deeper, but Pique might have had Busquets as cover under Guardiola. The second goal came from a ball over the top to the left hand side of the pitch by Khedira to Di Maria, who dragged Puyol wide.

La Liga (2 March 2013)

Barcelona looked to make amends to their 3-1 against Real just days earlier, with both sides making a total of 11 changes to the sides that started in that match. There is certainly less to talk about as Barcelona were really able to play at their pace for most of the match, though were  unable to put together any sort of penetration even with a more direct option in Villa starting.

Majority of the action look place in the middle third of the field, with Barcelona completing 90% of their passes and holding on to the ball about 73% of the time while trying to address their problems from the last Clasico.

Barcelona’s Struggles to Make Amends

Iniesta started in central midfield alongside Thiago and Busquets, with the latter taking up a slightly deeper position than he did a few days early, allowing Pique and Mascherano to push a little wider. The absence of Fabregas and the placement of Iniesta allowed him to have a greater influence on the game as he was allowed to fill the space that he desired, with Villa pushing higher and wider up the pitch than either Fabregas or Iniesta would in that same role. Villa’s start meant that Messi played a bit deeper, allowing him to try to find space between Real’s midfield and defense. Below is the Whoscored average positioning for Barcelona in this match.

                        

Unfortunately, though, the wide areas were again a problem for Barcelona on both sides of the ball. Real’s goal was scored after Dani Alves was caught out of position and Sergio Ramos was able to find Morata wide, who then delivered the cross for Benzema’s goal.

When in possession of the ball, Barcelona lacked any sort of real width. Alba and Alves would get forward when they could, but despite Alves providing the assist to Messi, neither really had that big of an impact on the match. Pedro and Villa both struggled to get by Coentrao and Essien, respectively. 

Real Win It

The match was looking like it was going to end in a draw throughout most of the match, until the introduction of Ronaldo in the 58th minute. Up until that point, Barcelona were controlling the match, but were really unable to make penetrative passes. With the introduction of Ronaldo, Real stepped up their tempo and the momentum of the game shifted as it should when one of the world’s best players, who is incredibly direct with his play, comes on. In his 32 minutes on the pitch, Ronaldo took 6 shots and almost scored with his free kick near the end of the game.

The winner though went to Sergio Ramos, who scored from none other than a set piece.

Conclusion

It has certainly been a rough two weeks for Barcelona with three losses in a row, two in important cup games and one in a less important, but still morale crushing, league game.

The absence of Tito Vilanova has been crucial to Barcelona’s poor form. Without Tito’s tactical awareness and his ability to adapt to situations in games on the fly, Barcelona have certainly suffered. Jordi Roura doesn’t feel comfortable in a managerial position. It isn’t necessarily time to worry about Barcelona, as they have so much class and potential, but it can certainly be agreed that their form is off and needs to improve drastically if they are to beat AC Milan by at least 3-0 to progress in the Champions League. 

Real Madrid are in quite the opposite form to their rival. With these two wins, they are in good form heading into their Champions League clash with Manchester United that will include a return to Manchester for Ronaldo. Prior to these two matches, Mourinho found himself under a considerable amount of pressure from Real supporters, but with these two wins, his fortune has changed and will ahve full backing going into the Manchester United match.

Sad Alexis One Shot

I sat motionless on my bed and flipped through the Twitter messages. They hated me. I haven’t done anything to them but they hated me anyway. They hated me for being his girlfriend. Alexis Sánchez girlfriend. I didn’t want to blame him. It was not his fault. It was my fault. I was not pretty enough, not thin enough, not perfect enough. I was never enough. I turned around and looked at the little box on my nightstand. In slow motion I stood up and walked toward it. I opened the box and grabbed the blade, which I kept in it. While doing this, tears ran down my cheek. I didn’t want to do that, I had already stopped. Alexis knew that I suffer from depression and he always had a bad feeling when he had to leave me alone at home. ”I’m fine.” I told him and tried to smile. And I had almost believed that ‘I am fine’. But in moments like this, my thoughts came back, which almost killed me. I put the blade on to my wrists and stumbled into the bathroom. After a few seconds my left arm was red. Then my thighs, my hips. One single moment and all the old wounds were open again.

Help, I have done it again 

I have been here many times before 

Hurt myself again today 

And, the worst part is there’s no-one else to blame

I felt the cold bathroom floor at my skin. I was lying here, in my own blood. I thought I hadn’t cut deep enough to be in serious danger. But I was numb. If I cut myself again I would not even feel the blade. I couldn’t move. I felt absolutely nothing and it scared me. Again tears began to roll down my cheeks. I couldn’t control it. “Alexis!” I whispered. I cried and cried, repeating his name.

Suddenly I heard someone open the front door. “I’m home, honey.” a voice called out, happy as always. “Babe?” he called again. “Are you at home?” he asked. I whimpered. Alexis heard it and rushed to the bathroom. “Y/N No, please. No, No, No. What happened?” He knelt down beside me, I felt that he was trembling. Then he saw the blade. “Can you hear me?” he whispered, shaking me. “Y/N! Y/N! Y/N! Say something. I love you. I love you so much, I don’t want to lose you.” he cried. I looked at him. My eyes were half open. “I’m here ..” I whispered. “I’m taking you to the hospital now.” said Alexis. “No, not to the hospital, please no ..” I said, looking for his hand. ”I love you.” he muttered. Then he gently lifted me up and carried me into the bedroom. He laid me on the bed, then disappeared once again in the bathroom. He was looking for bandages, I heard him. When he came back, he had his arms full of bandages, his eyes were red and his facial expression anxious. I’d never seen him like this before. He spent the next hour with wrapping my arms and legs in bandages. He was so incredibly careful and gentle, focused only on this one thing. I think he would immediately begin to cry if he looked at me.

When he finished, he stood up and kissed my forehead. Then he lay down beside me and put his strong arms around my body and pulled me to him. He was scared. I felt it.

Be my friend 

Hold me, wrap me up 

Unfold me

I am small 

I’m needy 

Warm me up 

And breathe me

“I destroy you.” I mumbled when I woke up the next morning. I knew he was awake. He had been the whole time. “Every time you have to leave me, I will destroy you a little bit more. We can’t continue like this. You don’t deserve this, Alexis.” I added. “I love you too much.” I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t begin to cry. “Please .. Y/N..” he whispered. “We can’t go on like this..” I said.

Ouch I have lost myself again 

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found, 

Yeah I think that I might break 

I’ve lost myself again and I feel unsafe

I packed my things. Only the most important ones. I thought it was important to end it now. Alexis stood all the time in the doorway and watched me. A few times he had tried to stop me, but every time he tried I started to cry and to push him away. “I will not hurt you anymore.” I whispered. What happened here? I had begun to believe that I was not good enough for him. I wiped the tears away and zipped up the bag. I took the bag and my jacket and looked at him. He looked terrible. His eyes were still red, he didn’t wanted me to go. “I love you.” he said. “I love you.” I replied. “I will love you forever, Y / N.” he muttered. He raised his hand and gave me a sheet of paper. It was his first love letter for me. On our first date I told him how much I loved handwritten letters. Six months later, he gave me this letter and ended it with Beethoven’s words, from his letter to Antonie Brentano. “Forever yours, forever mine, forever us” I took it and wrapped my arms around his neck. “What happened to us, Alexis? Tell me!” I cried into his shirt. He stroked my back and I stumbled away from him. He didn’t answered me and I knew what he wanted to tell me. “Forever yours.” I said as I opened the door and left his home. Our home. “Forever Mine.” he whispered, as the door was closed and he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and held back the tears.

Rosell: "Barça always wants the best"

Barcelona president, Sandro Rosell refused to rule out signing Brazilian Neymar and said that the 

club is always willing to bring in talent from outside if it doesn’t already have it at home.

“Barça always wants the best. In addition to those brought up inside the club, we’re always looking for players that could improve the squad. I don’t know in Neymar’s case, he’s a Santos player until 2014”, Rosell told Portuguese TV programme ‘Sic Noticias’ in an interview given during his visit to Israel and broadcast today.

In an in-depth interview, Rosell revealed the key to the club’s success, talked about the rivalry with Real Madrid and expressed a wish that the team’s most famous home-grown players, like Leo Messi and Víctor Valdés, end their sporting careers at the Camp Nou.

“Actions speak louder than words”, Rosell argued, endorsing the policy that “players who started their careers here should retire here”, mentioning Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta and Carles Puyol, amongst others.

Although the squad includes a number of superstars, Rosell believes it’s “very easy” to be club president because the likes of Messi “are even better people than they are players”.

Although he accepts that his opinion is biased, the 48-year-old president believes that this Barcelona is “the best team ever”.

“They say that everything moves in three-year cycles. We’ve had four great years and we’ll see how the fifth one turns out, but it’s looking good. This team has already broken the three-year rule”, he stated. Rosell said that “there will eventually be a dip”, but the club’s objective will be to ensure that it’s “short-lived and isn’t too major”.

Sergio Ramos the best player Barcelona

Said former Barcelona player Ricardo Serna that the club is in dire need for a defender, he suffers in this position a long time ago, and now it has become a much greater need in the event of retired Lionheart Carles Puyol playing and calling it a very intelligent person.

Serna said he is not easy to find a defender in line with play Barcelona, said that he believed that defender Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid is the right person to Barcelona.

He attributed his choice of player Sergio Ramos, he has great experience, and learn how to get the ball but he now has a contract with Real Madrid and it will be difficult to get it, but for him is the best option.

Messi is better than Cristiano .. Know the reasons for this

Cristiano Ronaldo was the most dangerous star on the field in the last match the riyal against Manchester United in the Champions League, as he scored his team's only goal in the meeting, and the brilliance of Cristiano in this game again reopened the debate about the best Cristiano or Messi .. ? .. But I'll show you in this article five reasons why Messi is better than Cristiano.
First: Golden Globes four owned by Macy's, while Cristiano does not have the only football one gold, gymnast Argentine is the first player to win the Golden Ball for the four consecutive, this award اتمنح only player the best and only McCann obtained Messi four times, the be number 1 in the world for four consecutive years is not easy, and this is the first reason why Messi is better than Cristiano.
Second: nature and flexibility advantage of Messi, he is a player marvel, can be resolved by the game at any time, I remember that in one of the league matches in the past against Sevilla scored late in the game and quickly, Ronaldo has high fitness, But Messi is a natural talent, some experts believe that it is possible to make a player like Cristiano through strength training, but it is impossible clone a player like Messi, because attributes Messi was awarded to him since his birth has not acquired, it is possible to be like Ronaldo, but it is impossible to be like Messi.
Third: to participate in the team more, Ronaldo in Madrid much Maicon player individually and waiting to score goals, while Messi collectively help in playing not just waiting to score goals, it makes balls crucial to his colleagues and sometimes find it participates in the defense, he is more involved with the team from Cristiano, This is clear from that Iniesta and Xavi Ahassanan Liu, both improves it.
Fourth: the practical application of a stunning, natural to see Messi dribbled past players, Valmraogh something unusual when Messi, but Cristiano just trying to outdo his marker and traffic from it, both play for scoring goals and win, but there is a difference, Femisa not thinking so much and Cristiano tries payment Always, more effective and Leo private Mavaúdh many shots if you are not useful.
Fifth: humility and personal and this Mitzm by Messi, while Cristiano says to himself that he is rich and good football player and handsome, and when, scoring tries to show muscles leg as if people Sthsdh them and that this evidence superiority, but Messi stark contrast, is modest and not arrogant or arrogant, Vkristaano cares much his body so it is a strong player, but Messi artist.

Barca 6-1 Getafe

Lionel Messi scored his 299th goal for Barcelona FC and La Blaugrana rolled to a 6-1 victory over Getafe in Sunday’s fixture at Camp Nou.
There was little doubt from the start who the superior team was on the pitch, and Barca left little doubt throughout. After one half, the hosts dominated with a 2-0 advantage and led with a 76 percent possession mark.
Andres Iniesta set up two first-half goals for Barcelona, including a beautifully placed pass that found Alexis Sanchez breaking behind a defender. Sanchez paused momentarily, but only for a moment, before placing a beautiful touch shot past the goalkeeper to put Barca ahead in just the sixth minute of action.
The assault didn’t subside from the hosting Catalan giants. Seven minutes (13’) later, Iniesta was at it again, this time setting up living legend Lionel Messi for his 35th goal of the season.
Barca kept the attack on throughout the first half but was unable to find the net after multiple attempts.
he second half, as expected, was much of the same for these two clubs.
Barcelona added its third goal in the 58th minute after a beautiful entry pass from Jordi Alba found David Villa behind the Getafe back line. Villa did the rest, leaving a quick touch shot wide of the keeper and into the back of the net.
The club added another with a 78th-minute goal by Cristian Tello on an assist from Messi.
Barca got a little lazy in the waning moments of the action and allowed a deep pass through its back line. That pass set up reserve man Alvaro Vazquez for an easy score after he beat Victor Valdes in the box to his left.
Just when the visitors thought they were leaving Camp Nou with a 4-1 defeat, Iniesta swooped in and netted the club’s fifth score off of a deflection of a Messi attack. They weren’t done there, though, and added a sixth moments later in the closing minute of the action.
