Basketball and football in the same market operation by the Barcelona

Cessions, joint ownership, bartering ... The list of formulas, operations and contractual engineering the transfer market is neat enough to entertain every summer the smartest fans, but Barcelona has managed to innovate in such a saturated subgenre. According to 'Sport', the Catalan club studies transfer to Brazilian Douglas Deportivo Alaves in a play which seems very normal but also imply the basketball section.

The Catalan public means that Barcelona Laboral Kutxa negotiates with the purchase of Hungarian forward Adam Hanga and intends to include in the operation to the right side soccer team questioned. The key is that Jose Antonio Querejeta, president of Laboral Kutxa, is also the largest shareholder Alaves.

The move would round for Alavñes because a player get at zero cost on their return to the First Division and also to Luis Enrique who would be released the record of a player you do not have this season.

Brazil drew with Iraq and returned to disappoint

After the disappointing debut in which he did not pass the goalless draw against South Africa, Brazil again played a poor game and just hit him to match 0-0 against Iraq . The team led by Neymar again repeated mistakes he had made ​​in the opening game and, full of nervousness and recklessness, suffered too a duel that thought he could solve easily.

The main sin of the home side was fast losing patience to get into a very well planted Iraq that was devoted mainly to cut the game with fouls and lose the maximum possible amount of minutes on each ball.

Thus, after a first half in which he had only a couple of close -ups of little risk to the arch rival, Brazil played almost full complement in the field in Iraq. However, he could not find the goal and ended up disappointing their people again.

Against this background, the Canarinhos, which so far garnered only 2 points like Iraq, the qualification for the next stage will be played in the last group match on Wednesday against the leader, Denmark (4 points).

The initiative, tempered by the neceidad to please fans who begins to give back, the volume of play, the chances, the constant pressure were the Canarinhos but lacked precision, plus a cadenced game.

As the goalless draw 4 last August against South Africa, Iraq marched victorious air and skimming the feat while the Mané Garrincha stadium fired his with catcalls and Captain Neymar, discreet, far from his usual way, It appointed as principal. To make matters worse Iraqis played without any complex and at least two clear opportunities gestated in maneuvers that stopped this defensive slow Micale Rogerio pupils.

HOW TO DISPUTE

Attacking end zone. Suarez and Munir. And defend the man and not the zone.

Curious communication between players "culé". Suarez to ask Munir to attack the near post, marking and power to drag himself to receive and finish second. 

Exchange / movement so characteristic of past times. And efficient! 

Efficient because teams before that mark individual and no spaces, turns out to be very easy to attract supporters to the area of ​​the field who has ball either. Who has not only controls the ball game like controls the opponent team. Clearing movements spaces to later put the ball there for someone who appears is a fairly easy way to get where he idealizes. Who still defends man to man is hunter becomes trapped, as once said Jorge Valdano. 

The bid does not show only positive communication between the advanced Barcelona. It demonstrates especially as it is ultra passing  and how that kind of behaviour is harmful to defend. Defences to lose track of where the ball is because they look for direct opponent, only movements centered on defending opponent and never your own goal.Worse only have collided with one another. And it could have happened ... The Rayo is a pretty nice team to follow for its extremely attractive ideas and very positive football, is also the most hit defense of the Spanish League. In the last season, leaving the middle of the table finished as the defense more hit of any league. Play well and be attractive does not have to be connected to allow more danger. And not be in the case of Paco Jémez team.

We all want the ball. But only a team can have

Since the beginning of the blog that tries to pass a different view of the traditional football game, so common in the nineties. So common in so many teams still in date!

Especially the emphasis on collective proceedings. In like manner teams move together. As the movement or X option determines the Y, the Z, etc. The emphasis on making the ball carrier's decision. The search for the superiorities. Decide according to the game situation that most approaches to team success, regardless of "fame".

Regardless of weapons (individual) the focus always on the offensive process. If decision-making is excellent (as it should always be!), Possession is accentuated. The time you spend with the ball is higher. Control is emphasize and the domain with good offensive principles. The Fortune favor the bold, it is said. And wanting to be offensive regardless of opponent is a virtue that is rewarded more often than it ends up being who chooses the path without the ball. Who chooses the way of playing only in defensive Organization, and deliver the ball after recovery, so as not to subject it to the opposing offensive transition.

However, it is a glaring mistake to think that because it gives greater weight greater focus on offensive moments, one can neglect the defensive. It's a huge mistake to believe that because they always want to have the ball, the defensive processes may be rudimentary. There is a ball for two teams! Even offensively they are both fabulous, when confronted, either or both, have less than usual ball!

The best are capable of excellence at all times! Even though well spend more time in which the defensive offensive! 

It is wrong to think that preparing a team of offensive excellence in processes requires whole world of time and as such, defensive moments are not worked. After all, they withdrew workout time to what matters most. Nothing more false! Always depends on the coach's ability to operationalized what idealizes. But that competent coach can not / does not integrate more than one moment of the game in your workouts? As if the offensive coaching Organization, did not involve coaching defensive Organization or transitions simultaneously!

Of course there is and there will always be the coaches of a more traditional school, opting for more standardize exercises, unopposed to get where you want. Of course, who does it, it works every time, each phase, each situation separately and there naturally will think to be more offensive involves removing competence / working time on the defensive. Also of course such coaches as those who only prepare his team for one or two moments of the game, or preparing for more, do not show excellence in such situations, are not counted here as the top of world football. 

Pictured not only the coach who wants and can do it! have the ball with you. But also the coach who controls more all times. The best defence in the world transition. Because after the inauguration, there will be goal or loss. Pictured who revolutionize the entire game. God Guardiola.

Play well and have opportunities

Not only is the majority of fans who do not have a sense of what is really play well and justify his place. Or have opportunities.

A few days ago Baby, stated "I think we deserved more. If you are not opportunities can not show value."

Such thinking just part of a mistaken premise and shows immediately the perception that the Portuguese has the game. Ending almost immediately to justify having had a few minutes. Totally different to have had opportunities to show value.

Baby did not think that opportunities because they have no idea who is playing well. As ninety percent of the people to follow football do not.Baby believe that one has played more minutes could have made a goal in one of his strong shots, and as such justifying play more at the next meeting and so on.

It turns out that playing well has nothing to do with hit with a ball in or pass goal, or steal four balls. Playing well is to be well in the large majority of actions by him. With ball and without the ball. Baby can make two anthology of goals in the same game but in all other actions decide poorly, get sick, lose the ball, or even not claim with its decision away from the successful team, baby will have made a level of play weak. Because scored two goals, but prevented his team could do more nine or ten. 

This is what today so many players do not realise. The opportunities they have. Every day have the opportunity to show in training the coach that are better than peers. That's the real opportunity. Put someone on the field just because every X time a shot can end your beacon in the background, while in all other actions only hurts, it's not a matter of mere faith of the coach. Really silly. 

Everyday Baby has the opportunity to show value. Even if not to the general public. It turns out not is because the value has not be what you think it has. 

And justify playing at the weekend has everything to do with showing that I can field the team is closer to get there. Because you know decide. Know closer to success. And not because occasionally to make a good pass or a good goal, passing the remaining time to add nonsense.

The goal of Left Side of the victory. Leads, fixed and loose

Impresses his hat held by Shatov, but critical to the outcome of the bid, and to whom I attribute 90% of the score is Hulk. 

Notable for not being a player with this type of decision most of the time, and in other similar moves preferred to shoot the ball. In this bid, however, Hulk did several things that used to have to do and surprised to see something that used to realize. 

Progressed with space as it has always done. He attacked as soon as possible the center aisle as usual. Then he waited, and let it go at the right time for his colleague had a chance to finish at 1-0. This is the goal of the Left Side to be the goal of the first specific principle of the attack.

They are the ideas and their implementation to determine the competence

We returned to a theme "controversial" here on the blog.

Recovering some passages of a text over one year, published here.

How can we say that Coach Y is better than X, because only won one or two championships that his professional colleague? If the two were not in the same context, with the exact same weapons, how can we conclude that X is better than Y because you won? What tells us that Y in context and with the arms of X does not win too?

Since the phenomenon Mourinho coaches are regarded as gods. Gods in the sense that the victories, and especially the defeats spend more for themselves than for who actually play the game.

Continue football fans to ignore that there are opponents. Valiant and which also affect the entire game.

"The coach needs to make weapons (organization) so that their athletes are more than individualities in the field but who know relate to each other, with collective principles. Occupying the space and to move with and without ball, offensively and defensively, according to common ideas. In this space we value that apart from achieving create these principles, they do so at all times of the game. Treat all times with due importance, and as such have the team prepared to play the game goes. Having done so, the best coach in the world may well lose to the worst. It's just that humans are playing the game. "

When choosing a coach, is mainly looking at your game model. For the behavior of his team at different times of the game and this play fits into the philosophy of the club. 

Mourinho was a right choice for FC Porto, not because of Uniao Leiria had added many points, but because playing with big club ideas.Assumed the office in games, was an aggressive offensive team in the organization, and controlled as few transitions and positions in defensive organization. 

That's why nine months ago there were some posts on a "new" Portuguese coach. Here. 

"Paulo Sousa is not now a much talked about name in Portugal. However reveals much superior qualities to those who are being revelations by."

Came the tie with FC Porto and copious defeat the Dragon, he brought a lot of criticism. After the coach was not so good. It is utterly false. It's because? Because it is not for a result or a trophy that one should assess the competence of the manager! The ideas are the same.Whether they are good, are not the losses that determine the quality of the coach. Does anyone believe that Guardiola would be the first four of the Portuguese Liga serving Arouca? And if so, would not be able to train a large? To walk in the middle of the table? And as we realize that we could have this ability ...? The ideas that implements because of course! By the way his team is positioned in the field and react in each of the moments of the game.

"It makes you doubt your sexuality?

Among sms exchanges about what had just Jonas, a great friend, once one of the best Portuguese average of their age, that even grown in Alcochete Academy, questioned me, then complete "It's amazing how decide. The best player I have seen in Portugal! "

In Portugal, after Deco, only Jonas. And unreal to see how everything always decide well and has a technical quality of those who do not believe if thou canst not see with your own eyes.

Jonas is in the Liga as an eighth wonder and is giving life to Benfica football. It's unbelievable the quality build, create well within the opponent's block and finish. Words fail!

Boca complicated his life and now shares the top

Boca Juniors did not get off the tip of the first division championship, he now shares with San Lorenzo, but was left with the bitter taste of a heavy defeat by 4-3 in the Bombonera itself to a Union for the end of the game defined the victory with a goal in his best shape, Lucas Gamba. 

After four years, when the debut of Julio Falcioni as coach in 2011, which in Boca did not make it four goals in the Bombonera (4-1 Godoy Cruz) but a year later Independiente he scored five (5-4). And as forUnion , the previous time was victorious in the Boca was in 2013, on the return of Juan Roman Riquelme to the team, and with Carlos Bianchicoaching (3-1). 

This time it was the day when Carlos Tevez scored his first goal in the Bombonera after his return. Of course, this last happened to the minute of the second half, after a first stage in which everything happened and more, with a seemingly quiet start for local, that six minutes I was the lead as Jonathan Calleri , your best figure, won the open after a gross error of Emanuel Brítez . Of course, less than 20 minutes after the errors would move to the front area, starting with his keeper Agustin Orion , which had another exit as one in which he broke the Uruguayan striker San Martin, San Juan, Carlos Bueno , but this time had Lucas Gamba as a recipient, although fortunately not hit him full in the tibia. 

The referee Jorge Baliño hesitated after noting a later-throw and then, at the request of assistant Sergio Zoratti resolved with a penalty kick and expel the home team action last man, something that seemed "blow on" the fourth judge, Rodrigo Sabini , after observing the image on TV .

The output of Orion was surrounded by whistles of Boca bias and simultaneously applause and cheers for his replacement, Guillermo Sara (actually relieved striker Sebastian Palacios), who could not contain the criminal later released by Ignacio Malcorra . 

Thereafter Boca was a bunch of nerves that were reflected most notably in its defence, to the point that a new error, in this case Daniel Diaz , who had a fatal night, found 35 minutes later than 10 Union break off the lead thanks to the second conquest achieved by Mauricio Martinez . But at the start of the second half came both said Tevez to place a parity that seemed promising, although neither the "Apache" and no one had defensive gifts that would follow without interruption until the end of the game. After 19 minutes another defensive misunderstanding was used by Caesar Brítez to vindicate his initial error and score the 3-2 for his team after a series of blunders in the "xeneize" area. 

And from then had Union a few more chances to finish the game, taking advantage of successive failures "Cata" Diaz and company, but failed in the final stitch and, you know, let live Boca is always very dangerous. For it not strange that at 42 minutes again appeared Calleri to tie with a dove after a cross from Fernando Gago , something that seemed to close the story at least decent for the hosts led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena , which to make matters worse was ejected on the epilogue by the goalkeeper coach, Fernando Galloso . But this was not like that, because the last error of the night to the defence of Boca nodded him  twice in the area and contradicting his surname, Gamba save the goal of when dodging a sheet of Daniel Diaz that almost "head start" to the figure of the court. 

Then he came the dedication of all players Union to his deceased former teammate, Diego Barisone , and the cries of their colleagues, who stayed with the tip now shared by San Lorenzo and River lurking in an absolutely forgettable night.
