Champion halftime


Champion winter in a spring day. Barca wanted to dress to match the prevailing weather yesterday in Barcelona and annealing to what had started as a neat Iniestazo Malaga with another Andrés goal, that sum and six this season for the Ecuador match his record in one year (2006 - 07).

All this a couple of hours after the most stubborn and tenacious tracker of late tumble on fertile ground because of Perez Lasa, a referee in the league is solely to help the sink Barca and Real Madrid. Or at least that's what we learned from the cowardly justifications Mourinho after the debacle in Almeria. Little fault with his team, many to college, accusing it of not changing in recent years. Not only him.

Nou Camp was a party to the misnamed lovers of statistics, one is not to touch people in front of Excel but consistent and symptomatic collect data that help him to decipher what the state of things. Of these stresses Pedrito Martin, playing time in the Cope, who last night sacked the twitter. Namely:

- The best signing Barcelona first round of the 1 st story, with extraordinary records: 52 points, 61 goals and 50 on goal difference.

- Barça becomes the 1st team to harvest more than 50 points after 19 days in the history of the Spanish league.

- The difference in goals for / against Barca is 50 in 19 games.

- Barcelona is the first team that scores 60 goals from 19 league matches since 1961 (Real Madrid)

- 28 matches without losing.Bate its 73-74 season record: 27 matches without losing.

- Pedrito has scored 14 goals in their last 15 games: 10 goals in 10 league matches, 2 goals in 4 games and 2 goals in Cup 1 Champions League match.

- Puyol (20) and Busquets (19) and the two players that have been most consecutive wins in league history.

- Messi (18), Villa (14) and Pedrito (10): 42 goals.Scoring record of a trio of players from the same team in the first round

- Between Messi and Villa have produced 11 goals this league: 5 goals from Messi pass from Villa and six goals for Villa a pass from Messi.

Yes, the numbers do not deceive Martin Pedrito. The Barça Nor. This is the inevitable truth of the League and the moment we live.On a team that every year adds a piece custom made perfect gear. Last year was Pedro and Busquets who improved to Henry and Toure, and this is Villa who evolves into the mix and top the magnificent role played Eto'o at the beginning of this period prodigious.

The two goals from Spaniard will reaffirm the collective and individual as you reassemble. There are now fourteen in a league that did not start at all easy for him. The shadow scorer Messi is often elongated and exaggerated histrionics of Mourinho. He went so far the meadita of Setúbal ("There are as expensive as front Benzema will not score a goal no one") which soon had to swallow them two goals of Guaje classics in the humiliation of the Nou Camp and now attend to Benzema scoring explosion while neither knows nor answers.Look, the same as Valdano and Florentino to '9 'winter.

Gold slip


Ball one, slip many.Of those who announced a few days ago the winner was Iniesta (La Gazzetta dello Sport that, spiteful, today called Messi deserves not cover), of which a few hours ago claimed that Xavi had consummated the sorpasso (Marca, a Once the mystery unveiled on its website accused of leaving without Messi Ballon d'Or in Spain, yes, Spain!), Of which rose to address the second goal before dialing, which reduced the whole merit of the players to a tournament in four weeks (legitimized by the puppet with Cannavaro four years ago, admittedly), of which Blatter accused of going against Spain, but held his head coach to leave without twisted position coach.Some media seem to be Spanish for golden ball player and Real Madrid for the coaches.


Although the real slip of the gold was the Dutch Vans savvy, Bommel captain and coach Bert Marwijk, who still enraged by the moribund South African snub did not hesitate to vote for Snejder and Robben despite competition rules prevent compatriots vote.If they wanted to alter the outcome of the vote at least could have taken those Uribarri and copy the Eurovision vote of the enlightened journalists from Togo, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria and Senegal, which had the flats of placing the third Ghanaian Gyan Asamoha.Meanwhile, Y quien maneja mi Barça, zero points!


I told you a couple of times I do not like individual awards in team sports but I must admit that this year's Golden Ball came with added attractions nearby home.Xavi was as timely and justificadísimo snap to a fabulous career and should face its final (but who knows), was Andrew and his second Iniestazo, a goal that is worth a world championship and that compensates a season of contrasts for those who can finish your career best Spanish player of all time, and was Lio, who bundled in every game with Barça.We covered 62 goals in 60 games, the scorer, the golden boot and being the top scorer in the Champions for the second straight season, and he supports the unanimous recognition as the best right now and the successor of the largest.


Indeed the Golden Ball will be distributed the same day they met the finalists.That day the football world cried out to anyone who would listen that the winner is the club, the championships are in the history books but the FC Barcelona play in the retina of the fans, that Harvey was right when he said he did not win balls that produced gold, but that without it, and Andres Messi's career would not be so shiny, that without the omnipresence of the Argentine marvelous Terrassa's not the best track record in the history FC Barcelona and Barca would have left some titles by way.But above all is the global recognition of the weekly tribute made by Guardiola to the essence of football.I would have liked to see what coaches and captains have voted to have had the opportunity to award the prize to the three ex aequo.


Nothing Milan (8 golds and 17 podiums) and Juventus (8 and 16) seemed unattainable in the winners of the trophy, until last year headed to France Football, and from this also under the tutelage of a FIFA that everything must handle, but Barca (8 and 23) and exceeded them.Luis Suárez (1960), Johan Cruyff (1973, 1974), Hrita Stoichkov (1994), Rivaldo (1999), Ronaldinho (2005) and Lionel Messi (2009, 2010).Eight gimped in total.Five in sixteen years.Three of six.The new benchmark in world football since he came one riding the farmhouse and other accuracy and power to such an extent that in the year there are eleven last night five of its products (the podium in central gold and silver).That UNICEF is not the only mime Barça children is a key, probably most, of living the best moment in its history, and football can enjoy their own sublimation.


By the way, saw Xavi Iniesta escape the pin and still has to win the gold as a blessing out of a paper napkin adds a second twisted at 23 years and threatens more.With more.The day ETA launched its statement gave no respite Messi.
