To almost 5,000 kilometers and 25 degrees Celsius of the Camp Nou, the same history of soccer. The Rubin Kazan has seizure to him the measurement to the Barcelona, surpassed by the tartars with Mediterranean climate and the one of euroasiáticas steppes. They do not count the isobars, here what they are worth are the points. And the Rubin, with the same of the Barça, already has cattle to him average particular to the champion in exercise. It is not an accident. It is the equipment of Kazan, that entangles the speech of Pep Guardiola by the world.
Everything could be different from the first minute if the capricious ball that finished off Ibrahimovic had turned three or four centimeters to the left instead of to strike the base of the wood. To discover a similar hole in the ciclópea construction of the turcomano Kurban Bayaev was not going to be far from easy. It was hour and a half later when Thierry Henry, the unique spare part decided by Guardiola, was mistaken before a situation that clear with I strike horrible of the ball.
Impossible filigrees
The rest was suffering for Barcelona. To take control of the ball in property is a lightening in principle, but it becomes load if ahead there is a heavy group, infumable if it is wanted. Slick practitioner and. A scorpion that itches by surprise. Warned well the Mediterranean ones came.
No matter how much it is said, to the azulgrana as much touch exceeded to him as it needed entrance by band. Merit of a rival equipment that controlled all the movements and demanded the rivals to embroider filigrees impossible to approach the goal. Perhaps at another moment of the season, with Alves in the heat of it forms (reappeared after his injury) and Messi to the maximum, that works. Today, when the rival puts plasta and in addition she knows how to bite, the complica situation a horror.
All the Russian equipment intrenched in its guarida. Watchman, with reflections to make recoil to the rival artists in short distances and physical bottom to throw to run with a ball and to accurately move it until the rival area. Also with a reliable doorman, who anticipated itself to a Messi little inspired by the little occasions in which the defense of the Rubin left some opening. And that responded with imposing plant to Iniesta, small change to the aim of marking thanks to a tried strategy.
Buckets also needed to explain themselves, although the ball outside their equipment 70% length of the time. The Ryazhantsev left-handed person - yes, that one of golazo in the Camp Nou to the first minute fired a shot to point-blank good repelled by the Barcelona vest bullet-proof. It was the first clear warning that the occasions to mark do not bloom necessarily of the possession of the ball.
Scares to Buckets
Not only that: the approaches to the goal can even multiply in portería of the equipment that widely dominates to the field and the party. After the rest, Barcelona continued its exasperating exercise against the lamentable Russian wall, but Alexander “Chori” Domínguez, an Argentinean wished in western Europe, calentita, that way walked kind to remove the ball at full speed and to create to Buckets disagreeable sensations to him.
But the Russian who insisted more was Bukharov, of refreshment in second half. Before their presence, Buckets were splendid. In the heat of decomposition of the Barcelona, that requested to shouts men of the reserve before in the 81 he appeared Henry, the ball continued being mainly hers, but frankly for anything. The Kazan and to its had closed it key almost from the beginning in an exercise of deaf and maleficent wearing down.
