FC Barcelona came to Vila-real low so important and numerous as those of Puyol, Abidal, Maxwell, Xavi, Bojan and Peter, to which we must add the appropriate substitution as prudent as Lionel Messi. Pep Guardiola to choose again by Busquets to accompany Pique in the middle of the rear, making it clear once again that prefers Mascherano making Busquets and Busi making Puyol Milito Milito making. More surprising was the ownership of Thiago, who gave coach handle the team in carrying forward the attack Iniesta. And it was Thiago Thiago: chose wrong sometimes, the wrong rate in some others, but undaunted at least one of Villarreal midfielder nivelazo. At the time, was the most capped player touched the ball during the match and became the cornerstone of a ship that managed to hold rates around 70% during most of the game.
From the beginning, Villarreal went crazy pretending not to dispute the control of the ball and, instead, focused on positional work, defense pushing the team forward, Marchena and Bruno putting cement wall and all the attackers involved in pressure. So, when he recovered the ball, the Yellow Submarine was able to counterattack with great success, reaching dangerous positions without too much difficulty and creating chances with which it could have been ahead on the scoreboard. But he found an immense Victor Valdes, who stopped it all. With the score at 0-0 and without having completed the first quarter of an hour, Valdes got two very dangerous ball to Rossi, one sticking out a foot and a powerful shot clearing a cross.
A Valdés even today a significant percentage of Spanish fans deny their status as first-class goalkeeper, as if he still had something to prove to be recognized as the second best goalkeeper in the world, only behind the monster invincible Iker Casillas is. "Buffon, Van der Sar, Reina, Lloris, Julius Caesar ...? Chulito may be less, but better porters or joke ...
Barca dominated possession in the first half, but his first shot into the net did not arrive until 38 minutes. With Affelay and Iniesta on the sides, Villa had the opportunity to exercise again, but apart from one occasion when Mussachio broke, spent the whole match drowned between the central and teammate Gonzalo, which left him so dry ended up being replaced shortly after the goal. The Blaugrana both came out of a corner, in the absence of Xavi, Barca took most of the corners in length, which is very unusual for them. And, ironically, on a shot from the right Busquets arrived to comb the ball at the near post to enable Pique, who, with his usual calm, he had time to control chest and shoot Diego López. Local players called hand in controlling the Three Blaugrana and the truth is that even the three replicates from different angles manage to agree on a clear view, except for Relaño, who is not willing to puncture the Madrid will spoil the goose rotten eggs is his beloved villarato -.
The Barcelona City team was over Villarreal in the second half. Since the resumption stepped forward and began to play the ball much faster, first if you could, and every minute was yellow cracking resistance. While still not been met ten minutes, Messi Guardiola introduced in place of Keita, aware that half was better played in El Madrigal League at the Bernabeu. Messi did too, albeit in a Lopez free-kick forced to fly to the squad, but his mere presence caused the Villarreal gave a couple of steps back. With the goal in minute 67, the submarine began to weigh her legs but no arms were down at any time.
Thus, in 86 minutes Cazorla had a tie on his feet, finished off from close range when a ball that dropped rain in the area. But that figure rose again to Valdés, who advanced to the shot leaving the Spaniard left his stick with both feet on the ground, trying cubrirlon goal where his instinct told him he would be the pinnacle of Cazorla. And hit a full, cleared the ball with one leg and saved his team, providential action that many of his colleagues thanked in situ and after the final whistle.
With the victory by the minimum in El Madrigal, the club has given a dramatic effect to the championship that, for the writer, is definitive. Even losing at home to Almeria, come to the Bernabeu with five points. Yes, the Madrid then it could be two, but it seems too fancy for a difference as real as are the eight points now separate teams Guardiola and Mourinho when there are only 24 to play. For his part, Villarreal lose the third position in favor of Valencia, Getafe won yesterday (2-4) and, it seems that the two teams of Valencia give us a great match for third place as remainder of the tournament.
