As a first point and ahead of only respect the game; pathetic attitude of players, coaching staff and assistants in the prior, during and after the game. Generalizing is synonymous with error, but in this case I'm almost 100%. The press conference coach of Madrid in the morning before the match, Guardiola response, aggression and exaggerations for 90 minutes and the final absurdity Setúbal technician in front of reporters. There, you can be sure very few will go to support. Compel a foreign coach to feel shame for a title that has won every effort is irresponsible, you can not complain of arbitration and will be totally laudable but there you go wrong. You can only apologize in some way what he said at morning in that it does not control your emotions when you feel hurt or frustrated by a defeat. You can divert attention or whatever the hell you want, but the last part of the monologue after the game is totally objectionable, even more than retransmission of Telemadrid. An insult to the rest of journalists and between the commentators of the sport. Now let
what matters:
Real Madrid: Casillas , Arbeloa, Albiol, Marcelo Ramos, Alonso-Lass-Pepe, Di Maria Özil-Christian. In a return to 4-3-3 in the league match with no pressure on the first line of the opponent. In 'Attack', Pepe, Alonso and launched a disastrous Albiol balls over the back side with little accuracy.
FC Barcelona: Valdés , Mascherano Alves, Piqué, Puyol, Busquets, Keita, Xavi, Messi, Villa, Pedro. Giro Helm Guardiola. Given the problems faced Barcelona in the first part of the Cup final and how they were resolved at the second taking back Messi, Barca shape with a 4-4-2 in attack. The defense wide as ever, the four-man midfield, Messi among them, constantly changing between the diamond and the 4 with flyers wide. Villa and Peter up stood glued to the lime-band, leaving a huge space between the central Madrid and Messi. In no the central moment of the match went to press the Argentine government to not undo the 4 defensive work of the 3 Real Madrid midfielder was unbearable. Press to 4 men in constant motion and without any help.
After two games in which Mourinho showed his tactical skills win out in this regard with his Barcelona counterpart, in this third episode Barcelona changed its design and thus made easier and less confrontational output Piqué-ball. Blatantly put Messi in midfield and he delayed a few meters Xavi Busquets help. Pepe proved that if the best of Madrid again, wanted to pursue Xavi Messi left too free-first 15 or 20 minutes, "and if it was the individual marking the Barcelona flea out almost at will in the cave. However, the Blaugrana in 70% of possession, there were only two occasions of danger in the first half for them. Villa left-footed shot from the right ending to a great cross and stop Xavi Casillas. By putting so open the Barcelona forward could not in any way be vertical. Ball domain itself, but not crushing the opposition.
Real for his part ruined the first part but under Mourinho's approach, the 0-0 was good and it showed in every minute. It was true, the party was to 0-0 despite the absence offensive whites-only Christian a powerful shot in 46 chest bumping Valdes.
Christian's desperation at the order of liquidation was not pushing up at the break, Mourinho admitted his mistake and made a nice change. Adebayor went back to be the china in the shoe and also Pique and CR Mascherano going to the band, which does more damage now and forever. Little by little, the Madrid was coming more and more pressure, sometimes reaching Valdés, and so the game was conceived in the second half more even. In one of those rides forth to steal Pepe is exceeded and the plate was needed to lateral Barca right (only highlight this breach and the arbitration decision because it was the more remarkable because, nasty moves on to argue there were many on both sides). The line of the band informed the referee that the entry was red, resolution rigorous but not outrageous. Reassembling another cisco.
Barcelona retains the same outline and Madrid goes to two lines of 4 with Adebayor up loose. For a moment seem to support the Madrid fans, but in a band ball from Xavi after breaking through the middle Afellay beat Marcelo-sliding "in the race and focused to the tip of Messi. 0-1
This result not serving the local and moved in search of the heroic, there appears huge, the crack Rosario and check into a counter-attack 1 to 4 dribbling several rivals. Totally reprehensible
0-2 the last change of Guardiola. Removing unnecessary derision to only one of the subsidiaries that have not yet played with the first team and, specifically, has spoken of white interest for him.
In some ways it was a shame that the game will change much with the removal, but led to goals and performance. Equality is lost and gained in appeal to the impartial spectator as until then was a tactical fight anything showy. After the expulsion, the mother did not know himself well as close had done in the league, his most important player in this scheme was and mentally collapsed group. Wembley final is almost decided but there is still another day ahead of Europe.
Tonight enjoy the Port-Villarreal, where there will be a lot more football and less anger.
