Barcelona – Manchester United post-match comment
Well, you’ve just seen the greatest ever Barca. Treble. The devastation of El Classico II. More than 150 goals. Finally, the art of the game show the true class. Flair, passing-core, individualistic and box-dribbling versus tactical, safety first and long shooters. First 10 minutes, Barca struggling to keep possession. MU having their best chance but couldn’t execute it. Poor Cristiano. Samuel’s goal is a turning point for Barca. Cool pass from Andres to Samuel. Samuel did classically to check-off from Nemanja and Michael and slotted superbly past Edwin. Great escape and finishing. Since then, Barca took control the game with their passing around the opponent game. MU chasing the shadow of Barca’s passing-minded game for most minutes. Most of MU players are frustrating especially Wayne. The game is already over as Samuel scored but Lionel just sealing it with a sweet header. A master pass from Xavi finished off by the shortest player on the pitch, I guess. Okay, let’s go to individual performance.
Victor – He’s not one of the best goalkeepers but he did well. 7/10
Edwin – He’s the saviour for him team. Indeed he used his experience very well. To be beaten at near-post is bad for any goalkeeper. 7/10
Carles – Two attempts on goal. Not doing much in attacking play. Covered ground very well. Got pace to stop Wayne and of course frustrating Cristiano. 8.5/10
John – Did well to track back Thierry. Doing nothing in attacking play. 6/10
Sylvinho – Lack of pace. Didn’t want to play pacey game. His overlap is useless most of the time but still doing good job in defense department. 6.5/10
Patrice – One of United best performer. Trying hard in attacking but couldn’t connect well with Wayne. Did well in closing down. 7/10
Yaya – Having good game. Not much he can do. Did well in aerial battle. Covered space well. 6.5/10
Rio – Did well to shrugged-off the threats from Lionel & Co. Misjudged Xavi’s cross. Organised his defend very well. 5.5/10
Gerard – My man of the match. Did perfectly in clearing the killer-ball. Read the game very well. Is the heart of the defense for Barca. 9.5/10
Nemanja – Having a tough game. Nervous when being pressured. But still having a good partnering with Rio. Has to be blamed for first goal. 4.5/10
Sergio – Don’t know what his function. Covered spaces superbly. Cool aerial challenges. Try to play simple game. Didn’t help much the attacker. 7.5/10.
Michael – Spanish-midfielder wannabe. Couldn’t open the space. Couldn’t stop Xavi from moving around. 5/10
Xavi – Top-class act from him. The creator for most attacking moves. Great assist from him. Superb vision. 9/10
Anderson – The most ineffective player on the pitch. Couldn’t help the forwards. Did well in closing down. He’s not into the game. Wrong selection by Alex. 3/10
Andres – Eagerly want to make attacking move. Cool close control. Tiptop pass and vision to Samuel. Not up to his standard as he could do better. 8/10
Park – Great pressuring skills from him. But still couldn’t do much in attacking play. 5.5/10
Thierry – Not at his best. Couldn’t get past john most of the times. The only anonymous for Barca. 6.5/10
Wayne – Played too wide. Couldn’t read the game very well. Not connecting well with a pass from his mates. 5/10
Lionel – Should be the best player in the world. Making a loads of fun at United defense even though being marked by three players. Lose lots of balls. Superb header. 9/10
Ryan – Not enjoying short pass game from Barca. Not reading game very well. Lack of ideas of course. 4.5/10
Samuel – World-class finishing. Done superbly for his goal. Played wide to give space for Lionel. Dangerous in attacking play. 8.5/10
Cristiano – The only United ‘attacker’. Poor finishing. Couldn’t get off from Carles most of the times. Bad game for a player in such reputation. 6/10
Carlos – Working hard to keep pressuring Barca players. Couldn’t find a single clear opportunity. 5.5/10
Paul – Too slow for a pacey pass-game from Barca. Couldn’t get into the game. Should be red-carded for tackle on Sergio. 4/10
Dimitar – Didn’t get useful ball. Not his game. 4.5/10
Seydou – Did well in covering the ground. Didn’t run forwards much. Seen flocking around most of the times at the center of the pitch. 6/10
Pedro – Tactical change. Not rated.
In conclusion, Alex picked the wrong approach. Defense is not the best way to fight against Spanish team. Barca did well in dominating possession as they always did this season. I wonder if Barca goes into the game like they did against Madrid what would be the result. United was too cagey. They tried to close all the spaces in the meantime they gave a hefty spaces for Barca’s midfielders.United managed to lock Samuel and Thierry but not Lionel, Xavi and Andres, which are the main ideas of Barca. So, the best team from Spanish La Liga has won the UEFA Champions League and also the first Spanish club won the treble.
Valencia-Real Madrid post-match comment
Another disappointing performance from Madrid. 3-0 scoreline said it all. Just don’t know what to say with Madrid, but have to give credit to Valencia. 1st goal scored by former Madrid youth player. A very decent move combining David Silva, David Villa and Juan Mata finished clinically by Mata. Just 3 minutes after the 1st goal, Madrid most reliable player this season, Iker Casillas failed to save long-range shot. Silva done well to find space and shot which saw Casillas managed to tuck the ball inside the goal. Poor Casillas. Madrid just couldn’t get into the game. Misplaced pass, poor communication, awful first touch, lack of creativity and horrible ball control happened throughout the game. Madrid punished with 3rd goal beautifully. Lob pass from Pablo Hernandez finished off by Ruben Baraja with a superb volley. It should be one of the best goals of the season. Despite the scoreline, the game was pretty balance in term of possession. Madrid was totally couldn’t create chances. Valencia should win with a bigger margin, thanks to series of save by Casillas and poor finishing from Valencia forwards. Now I thought I have something to say regarding Madrid players. 1st is Casillas. He performed well. Couple of great saves in the opening 20 minutes. But the 2nd goal is very costly. He made mistake not only for letting the goal but the result too as I believe that is the killer-goal. 2nd is Javi Garcia. I’m not expecting him to start because I preferred to see Dani Parejo. Garcia was the worst player on the pitch. He should take the opportunity of playing in the first eleven by playing well. Always misplaced pass, poor closing down, never really help defensive line. 3rd is Arjen Robben. He got the pace, but his selfishness is everything. Always react in unconvincing way when he don’t get the ball. Yes he is good footballer but he is not great. 4th is Sergio Ramos. One of his most awful performances I’ve ever seen be it with Los Blanco or Spain. His closing down was unacceptable. Very poor! It looked like he is right-midfielder rather than right defender. Out of his position for most of the game. 5th is Christopher Metzelder. He’s not playing at his standard. Looked anxious when in ball possession. Always missing the important interception. 6th is Raul. Too much ground he covered resulting in his out position. Not really supported Robben and Marcelo. 7th is Marcelo. Do well without ball. Too much dribbling and twist-turn cause losing balance and losing the ball too. Do well to unlock space but just couldn’t execute the pass. Lastly, 8th is Fernando Gago. Not really help the backline which he should have to. He should be much creative with better ball control technique. He is very slow for his position. So that’s it. Game over for Madrid this season. Have a lot of job to do next season. Always the Whites. Hala Madrid!
Status Quo is no more?
Should it be? It depends. Everybody have their own opinion. So do I. The Best Club of the Century award given by FIFA in recognition of the number of prestigious trophies won by a team in a single century. Real Madrid is the first to be awarded in 2002 if I’m not mistaken due to laziness to check stats. What’s wrong anyway with status quo? Well, I could just say it is not relevant anymore in the era of so-called ‘modern football’. Why? Simply say, due to result-oriented. Most of the clubs nowadays have been focusing on how to win rather than playing the game. Should we care? Yes. Borrowed from Didier Drogba’s word – DISGRACE! Okay back to main topic. Surely this is about Madrid and not Chelsea or Barcelona. Madrid has been carried the status which themselves-picked for many years. I could say from the moment of 5 consecutive European Cups gold medal. The status or stature of the clubs looked like have been automatically set after those unbelievable victory. From that moment, they are the best of the best. Every season we are expecting Madrid should reach at least final stage in the most prestigious clubs’ tournament ever organized (UEFA Champions League). Judging after their very last silverware at Europe in 2001, Madrid really never gets back to their business. This season again we saw for 5th consecutive seasons Madrid failed to clear from Round of 16. This is not good for a club with that stature. Madridistas are demanding European success more than anything they care. So, will it be relevant again with this status quo? Win with pride or win without dignity? What these ‘pride’ things have to do with status quo? My opinion says, since you are the best act like the best in the very best way. It doesn’t matter if they are not able to win the Cup as long as they uphold their traditional football. Well for people that might not know the historical side of Madrid let me tell you a little bit. Madrid is famous with their attractive attacking football and aesthetic play. But, there is no more at Madrid. We are in the doom era. Madrid is losing both. They don’t win and don’t play their game. Madrid is no more 1st seed clubs for next season UCL main draw. That’s clearly told that Madrid is no more European powerhouse. UEFA calculate it based on their performance in European outings plus National League co-efficient. Madrid did win back-to-back league title in 2007 & 2008. But they are not really won it. This season the outcome for ‘not really won it’ has been shown. Barca was absolutely in another standard. 2-6 humiliating home defeat to Barca is really painful. Again, I ask is Madrid still carrying the best club title? Well I really wanted to say that Barca is having their best ever spells in their history. Look at their game; it was real class of football and very classic one. Plus, they are on the road for treble. While the result-oriented Madrid, is already over. So now we come to the conclusion and the final answer. Yes Madrid stills the BEST unless there are teams that outnumbered Madrid’s accolades. While Madrid is losing the result and game for many ‘unacceptable’ seasons, so my words are Madrid is losing the status. Therefore, act best in the second-best condition; hence you will be the greatest. The final answer is YES but NO. Confused isn’t it? That’s the bitterest pill to swallow.
El Clasico II pre-match comment
El Clasico is one of the greatest football match in the world. Real Madrid CF versus FC Barcelona. The rivalry between two greatest clubs in Spain prove it. Not only in term of sports but also the political. This time again second El Clasico will be played in front of 80,000 at Madrid. Last season El Clasico was a total humiliation for Barca. They lost both. But the most painful lost is at Bernabeu. They were slumped to 4-1 defeat at Madrid. They even did ‘Guard of Honour’ to Madrid before kicks-off. Guard of Honour is the traditional style in Spain. The newly-crown champion will be given tribute & respect by their opponent. The rivalry among these clubs is considered as at very high intense level. The first Clasico at Nou Camp, Madrid lost 2-0. Goals scored by Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi. One of the interesting fact for the Clasico II is that only 800 seats provided to Barca fans. There will be a very different atmosphere. Even there will be veterans match between Madrid Veterans and Barca Veterans on Friday. Madrid plan to use their fans to beat Barca. Definitely they have the advantage.
Both team have very tough fixture, but Barca is much harder. After Chelsea, now Madrid, then Chelsea again. That 3 games were played within a week. The level of fatigue among Barca players should be one of the factors should they lost at Madrid. Messi himself played 270 minutes in Barca’s last 3 games. While Madrid have all week to prepare for Clasico II, Barca only have few days to prepare. It is still unsure who are going to be fielded as starter for both team. The current champion really believe they can win the game and the league. Some people even said that Barca is under pressure and lost to Madrid could result in very dangerous situation for them. There is 4 points different between Barca and Madrid. Should the league to be decided based on head-to-head result, Madrid must win Clasico II with 3 goals deficit. It is not an easy task for Juande Ramos’ men. Barca never lost with 3 goals deficit this season. There is only 1 difficult match for Barca in the league after Clasico II. The match against Villareal. However, Madrid still have to visits Mestalla and El Madrigal.
All Barca key players should be available except Gabriel Milito and Rafael Marquez. Meanwhile for Madrid, they were to be without Guti, Wesley Sneijder, and of course Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Mahamadou Diarra and Ruben De la Red. Most of football fans were mesmerized with Barca’s gameplay this season. Even some of them said this Barca is the best ever in Barca history. Their three-pronged attacker is considered as the best in the world. 90 goals between them must really mean something. Back to Madrid, they are not at the best form despite their series of streak. In their old days game, Madrid and Barca gameplay were very similar. These days, Madrid under Ramos is much defensive. It is still unknown and hard to predict how the game will be played. Barca is a dominant team. Madrid’s last game at Seville was a dominant one. Both team must win the game to win the title. Madrid is very desperate right now. This will be different Clasico than the first.
Intense, pressure, fatigue, and individualistic are some of the terms that looked suitable for this Clasico. I am expecting a good game from both team, be it Madrid or Barca. It will be an open game. Its 50-50. Believe me, there will be no one-sided game. Flair, skills, high-tempo, swift counter-attack, one-touch build-up, threaded pass and top notch goalkeeping are what I expecting from this game.
Still I have to predict for this game. Surely I will go for Madrid. Same as many Madrid veterans predicting. Win this game, we will win the league. More specific? Okay, 3-0 for Madrid. Hala Madrid!!!
Real Madrid 3-2 Getafe post-match comment
It was another remarkable comeback. It’s 3-2 victory for Real. It was a crazy match I’ve ever seen so far. It is a ‘small’ derby match. Getafe, a modest team situated 13 kilometers from Madrid. They are also the youngest team in Spanish Primera Division. Their performance that night outclassed their current position which I though they really don’t deserved it. A team which is well comprise of unwanted players of many clubs such as Roberto Soldado & Esteban Granero [former Real Madrid players] and Mario [former Barcelona player], only to mention few names. They played an open football. The game play at normal pace during first half, which we saw Real couldn’t play very well. Getafe took the lead through former Real’s combination. It was 10 minutes past, when Granero cross the ball perfectly, only for Soldado to head in for frst goal of the night. Well, every goal was scored when there is a mistake. Pepe was the one to be blamed for that goal because he failed to clear that ball. Iker Casillas couldn’t do nothing except for his little fingertip save which not enough to prevent the goal because the ball was perfectly placed in the right time and position. After the first goal, Real suddenly took control the game. They were trying very hard to reach the box of Getafe. There were free-kicks and corner-kicks, but Real couldn’t take any advantage from it. They even couldn’t create a single clear-cut chance. Rafael Van der Vaart and Guti, both start for Real in the absent of Lassana Diarra and the rested Arjen Robben. For a player at good reputation like Van der Vaart, he should play better. His free-kicks and corner-kicks was awful. His delivery and precision is very poor. He even couldn’t have better ball control plus his misplaced pass was terrible for Real’s forwards. Real took a total domination of possession, while the ball moves around the center of the pitch for most times in the first half, suddenly a loose ball from Getafe’s defenders allow Fernando Gago to head towards Raul only for him to chest the ball and made a desperate pass to Gonzalo Higuain. Higuain perfectly shield the ball from Getafe’s defender and evade the goalkeeper to slot home the equaliser. It was a final minutes of first half goal. Real Madrid 1-1 Getafe at halftime. There are still more football to come. Real made change by bringing in Robben for ineffective, Van der Vaart, at halftime. It’s look like Juande Ramos so desperate to get the result. The pace of the game changed a little bit after that. Real going all out for attack while left the backline opens for any attempt of attack. Real was caught dead many times by Getafe’s counter attack, but none of the chances goes in favour of Getafe. Real also did has chances through Sergio Ramos, Higuain and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, but none of them taken the opportunities. Real decided to opt for more attacking play by taken off Fabio Cannavaro for defensive midfielder, Javi Garcia. Huntelaar was never there that night. He was so invisible except for his only clear-cut chance which he failed to execute it. It was a perfect pass from Guti which Huntelaar broke Getafe’s offside trap but he failed in an attempt to round-off Getafe’s goalkeeper. While Real were looking forward to get the goal, Robben was caught injured and has to be taken off. Royston Drenthe replaced him. The game was more open with Real’s backline is in possession of any hazards to come. Juan Albin should have scored for Getafe when he managed to get past Real’s defence, but his first touch was poor to execute the ball. While Real was really obsessed with their improved attacking play, Getafe make a deaf counter attack. Granero make a very good long pass form the middle pitch. Pepe were caught between two Getafe’s players. A Getafe’s player, Jaime Gavilan I guess, on the far side managed to head the ball for Albin. This time no mistake from him, with first-timer he struck the ball past helpless Casillas. Again he scored against Real. Garcia was so late in closing down. It was 84th minutes of the game and look like Getafe ready for another win against Real. Madridistas was really hoping for miracle to come at that point. Then Getafe concedes free-kicks at very dead position. Guti took charged the role. With his left-foot, he placed the ball perfectly into the top corner to beat Getafe’s Vladimir Stojkovic. It’s 2-2 with four minutes normal time to go. Real continues searched for victory. Higuain received a card for diving in the box which results him to miss the game at Seville. A television replay shown that was a contact form Getafe’s defender. Again, Getafe make counter-attack, Javier Casquero managed to get past Pepe at the edge of the box and in desperate attempt from Pepe to make recovery, he make a little contact with Casquero only for him to stumble onto the field, which result in penalty kick for Getafe. Pepe immediately lost his cool after referee blow the whistle. He kicked Casquero twice which bring the game into very intense moment for both tams and fans. Pepe was given straight red card for the foul which may see him ban for few games for his unacceptable behaviour towards Casquero. Casquero then took the penalty kick himself. In an attempt to make a Palenka’s like kick, he failed to lift the ball with power only to see Casillas makes the save with only one hand. Real burst into dying minutes seek for goal. Garcia’s foul on Granero raised the temperature of the game. There were many players involved in the confrontation. There were pushing among both teams’ players. Marcelo and Cata Diaz exchanged words harshly between them and both were booked by the referee. Real trying so hard to win the game and finally paid off. Higuain was the total hero of the night. He picked up the loose ball to sprint past Getafe’s defend and fire a stunning left-footed drive from 20 yards to beat helpless Stojkovic. It was moment of madness for Real’s players. Emotions and satisfactions were there. It was great match-up. Real were a lot improved in term of attacking in the second half. They even could hold the ball longer and ideas were everywhere. But surely they will miss man of the match, Higuain, in Seville. Thanks for another remarkable comeback and great game. Hala Madrid!!!
UCL Quaterfinal 2008/09 post-match comment
Lesson learned. The so-called best team in the world at the moment, Liverpool have been given a very nice lesson thanks to the masterclass tactics of Guus Hiddink. 4-0 at home, 4-1 at Old Trafford, 5-0 at home. Real Madrid, Manchester United and Aston Villa. All of these clubs is former European Champions and LIVERPOOL just beat them like nothing. WOW!! Let me look at Real, first two goals are really questionnable. In knockout competition, all you need is to win. That two goals changed Real’s tactic making them more desperate, thus lead to the other two goals. Then MU, this one was total mistake from MU. Defensive lapses have cost everything. In addition, Liverpool doesn’t create many chances as they thought they are. Then Villa, Villa have been struggling with their form for the last few months. I just could said Villa is no match for Liverpool or even Everton at that time. They didn’t face a true contender until the game at Fulham. Then Chelsea, the genuine problem for them. They managed to get an early lead, but couldn’t take control the midfield. Most of their fans said it is because Mascherano didn’t play. I like to requote a sentence they used upon me last time, “Loser is always lost”. But i really hope Liverpool able to progress to semi-final. Forget that Liverpool thing, another English clubs, Arsenal and MU just getting draw against their tiny opponents. I’m always annoy when there are people/media who kept praising the English clubs as they are the greatest. Still they have learned the lesson. Finally, Barca show no mercy to everyone and this time to Bayern. Their three-pronged attacker is the best in the world. With flair, slick pass, fancy thorugh pass, everything was perfect for them, but still i’m not convince they are the best team in the world. Why? Because they didn’t meet their true enemy yet. Everybody is feared to face Barca. Barca’s weakness is their defensive. No other team were brave enough to play an open game against Barca. I would love to see Barca vs Liverpool and see how many goals conceed by Liverpool. But i hope Barca to face Chelsea because i believe that’s the real matchup.
