Judging Barcelona in terms of if he plays well or play bad is to use a concept of backward screen. Barcelona knows what he wants and knows how to get it . I was one of those who ridiculed Luis Enrique at first, and I called donkey. I could not have been more wrong.
This man has improved Guardiola as Guardiola improved to Cryuff. But if Pep ended up collapsing the team with his narcissism, Luis Enrique, with his afinadísimo competitive spirit, he understands that his only vanity is to win and knows how to squeeze every moment its resources. That's why old lost in pointless discussions about whether Barca play well or badly. The club competes only with himself and does what he needs to do to achieve their goals. That does not mean you can not have a bad day, and lose any game, but we must understand that the ambition of the team goes beyond the anecdotal and is ditctando footballing categories of the century.
Neymar started with very decorative dribbles games that did not have any consequences. It was curious that Barcelona played with two side invented by the visiting coach, because neither Aleix and Alba had played in this position until Unai Emery trained them. Competitive Sevilla , evenly matched first few minutes. Kolo had it 7 minutes, at the exit of a corner.
At 11, Bravo canceled a counterattack out brilliantly with his chest. In the 12th, also superb, Sergio Rico rejected a shot coming from Luis Suarez . But in the 13 we saw the first marvel of the night. He left boots Messi, who tried the Olympic goal that Coke could avoid head at the last millimeter. Rejection repelled the post and Suarez from outside the box knocked the crossbar. Perhaps some believe to try an Olympic goal is a lack of respect, as Lambrettas Neymar criticize him. I always think that talent is never offensive and that is mediocre rage generated impotence. If only the world were those queuing and conform to gender, we would not have left the cave.
But Sevilla is Sevilla and Krhon-Dehli meritorious career he served an exact center to Vitolo fusilara Bravo . Very good Emery at 3 to 2, with Iborra, Tremoulinas and Krohn-Dehli. 0 to 1, 20 minutes.
Ten minutes later, Rami was booked for a foul on the edge of the area that Messi, above the barrier and without Sergio Rico could not see her, she slipped on goal from the right escuarda. Ovation and bows in the stands; it was no wonder . We are fortunate to live in the era of genius. If everyone was at their level , Cristiano would play UEFA.
Sevilla, very physical, enduring, but the party was controlling the club.
The second half started with a portentous Sergio Rico avoiding a goal sung Neymar. But he could do nothing against Sevilla Messi and Suarez, who worked a play that did not exist for the finish off Pique and his team the lead. 3. In the 5th minute, accurate sevillista combination that ended with a shot from close range that Bravo Gameiro rejected in a memorable intervention. In 9, eleven Sergio Rico again rejected a Whiplash Busquets. Very, very good this guy: with only 22 years, kept his team in the match. Emery was brave and risked replacing Cristóforo by Konoplyanka. This Sevilla'll quickly see and never gives up .
In the same minute, he entered Iniesta by Arda . Bello recognition of Messi, ceding the captain 's armband. Neymar dribbled greatly 24 Rami, who was needed, but perhaps enough to whistle a penalty. Emery doubled the bet and Juan Muñoz came through Iborra.
Visitor remarkable pride that had a chance to finish. But Barcelona knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and his game is a prototype of football over the years go by molding the other teams in the world, until it is widespread footballing aesthetics of our century. While all this comes, its superiority is indisputable.
