Before the season started and even on many occasions over it, we said that FC Barcelona has a shorter stock than that of Real Madrid. Barça first team consists of 19 players, counting the winter strengthening Afellay, while whites account for up to twenty-four men with professional tab. The curious thing is that Pep Guardiola has always declared that prefer a short but well-motivated workforce, while Mourinho has been constantly feeling that, if he were, would change a few pieces or at least add a few them more.
Luso technician he was right in his dissatisfaction with having only two forwards and with the injury Higuain, Florentino was forced to turn on the fax and get the book to be brought to Adebayor, who seems to be suffering Samson syndrome . But despite having a staff amply large, Mourinho always has reduced its range to fourteen or fifteen players to form an exclusive club where each month and out a couple of partners, in response to reward-punishment method that has been established Portuguese, but always keeping the number of VIP's not beyond 14-15 members.
So, the club has up to fifteen players who have played at least fifteen league games, while Real Madrid are thirteen men who have reached that number of games. So the figures show that Mourinho has more workers, but its way of carrying a team reduces the ability of their staff: the undisputed power at the expense of weakening the alternates. Completed thirty league matches, failing to complete the Cup final and having played eight games in Europe (not to mention the meetings of National Teams), it is inevitable that many players go through nursing. At the final stage of the season, always end up having a week where you only have three or four important players and that's where you see the true potential of a template.
In the day yesterday, both Madrid and Barça had many casualties and, ironically, the absence of both were quite comparable. Mourinho was forced to leave the bench while Pepe Guardiola has spent nearly two months without the benefit of Puyol. At Madrid he needed his best left-back Marcelo, and Maxwell and Abidal Barcelona, the front was caught without CR7 merengue and Benzema, while the Catalans did not have Peter and Bojan (who should be added, with some exceptions, the substitution of Messi). And finally, neither could align its field Mariscal, Xabi Alonso and Xavi Hernandez.
Despite how much he spoke of the third front (and dogs and cats) and we have always had in mind that both a technical and the other is unable to better manage the number of minutes of his two wayward star , the link that Mourinho always feared losing is Xabi Alonso. The importance of Tolosa in the tactical organization of the team is paramount. Without it, Madrid is a ship without a pilot, a giant galleon that has too many guns to destroy your enemy but with the speed and maneuverability of an old barge. With Alonso Madrid has a lady that dominate the center, move the match to everything across the board, without it, the mobility of Madrid is reduced as each square seems to measure a square hectare. The diagnosis is clear as water: Mourinho has alonsodepencia Madrid.
Without Xavi and Messi in the field, the club managed to finish the match with 70% possession despite playing in the field that is without any room for doubt, the Spanish team that best addresses the ball after the Blaugrana. Madrid, playing in their stadium against a team like Sporting, which is obviously much less than whites, was unable to find north. When the match was put uphill, Mourinho made a mistake getting to Pepe, but above all, sticking to Canales, a guy who has played only eight games, seven of them coming off the bench, and to make matters worse, the left winger . When the Madrid reacted and managed to get to Asturias in your area, did not play better, but getting the breed that always give the telluric forces of the Bernabeu. Estr always Casillashe there to save his team, Cristiano will continue to make a bag of goals, Higuain will be before and Benzema will reprise his projection. But woe to the Madrid and Alonso can not count on another vital game ...!
