A slate of Barca

How far are those times in which he was barely tested in a Barcelona game. Rijkaard was quite happy to keep his players to be filled before the head of tactical paradigms. With Guardiola, variants on the board have increased, and the Recre, thanks to a move engendered by his second coach, Tito Vilanova, the Barca set his lead, leaving the candidates husmeando his rebufo and chained their ninth consecutive victory in League. That's nothing.

In a match of the most laborious and in Barcelona showed that he knows to be patient, closed its crossword thanks to the blackboard. Free at the front. Alves and Xavi before the ball, while Messi is entrometía between the barrier. Amagá the midfielder shooting while La Pulga was escurría to his right, received the Argentine completely alone in the area and shot with a rabies risk. Very similar to a goal scored by the Swede Tomas Brolin on the World USA in 1994.

A punishment for a fan of the tactic as Lucas Alcaraz, when I was a kid who was engaged to form district teams for him to be the coach. Granada was prepared to match the conscience. Alcaraz underlines in the art of squeezing the maximum justitos groups, and the Recre learned to keep Barcelona at bay.

Parapet after a consistent 4-5-1, with two alternative tactics of the most interesting (Morris moved to the midfield, while Aitor Sisi and a band played changed at the ends), Recreativo gave from the start to the scalp the season. Their hope, that Adrian Colunga, skillful and quick player kidded in Dizziness, catch some against, always engendered from the band from Sisi.

At Barcelona he took 20 minutes going into the game, but from there Toure and Xavi began to overcome the online media Huelva. However, all production was leaving the right-handed side of the field, where Messi Alves and his punches were exchanged. On the other side, Henry, whose first part was a real fraud, was much more loose in the second act, firing up the wood twice and making a great assistance to the goal that Eto'o sentenciaría the game, play of Keita. Indeed, Barca's first goal as mali.

In any case, Messi is the champion of greatness. The Argentine, mindful that if it remained stuck between fallen behind Recreativo not rascaría ball, we moved the party seeking the leather in the online media. From there, ten had two choices: either find the wall with Alves or Xavi, or jump in the race and wait for them to attend one of the inner correctly. So, until Messi ran twice with the gloves Risk.

Nor acertaron Sergio Busquets, with a spectacular volley that went high, and Eto'o, who missed two occasions before the goal frank Huelva. Though not marked, the Cameroonian completed a truly remarkable game, opening space for their peers and constantly testing the consistency of a risk on the rise.

Never gave the impression that Recreativo sunk off the team in the fall, that group incapable of winning before his public, which displays a record of service with only five goals in favor (the Barcelona has 35). Just missing that Sisiano or-Sisi, which is more coquettish-ended one of its major actions by connecting with the tip of the attack.

Even after scoring Barca, Alcaraz took a step forward and appealed to Akal Camuñas and to find a tie that both players, precisely, were on the verge of achieving. Madrid broke the mediapunta with art Marquez, Pique and stretched the boot before the Akal embocara to score. In a span also stayed Adrian, who stick to the pitch after a corner kick. The goal in the twilight of Keita left at Recreativo without hope, all that is left over to a Barcelona that accelerates towards the title.
