And that soccer knows no pauses, renew or die. Barcelona and Manchester United to repeat the final two years ago speaks volumes to how well they are doing things for the Nou Camp and Old Trafford, but Ferguson Guardiola both know perfectly well that this does not live or titles won past successes. Two years have passed since that final in Rome where Barcelona won 2-0 on the Red Devils, two seasons in which both teams have renewed, leaving from a consolidated basis, its doctrines and templates. No big changes, but some significant.
On that occasion, Guardiola's team was writing his name in history through a 2009 where he won every title possible. Assumed the top and perfecting a long way in the club through the years. For its part, the Manchester came as absolute ruler of England, where he won his third consecutive title. Now Ferguson's team returns to final after recovering local scepter which lost to Chelsea Ancelotti, and Barcelona continue emphasizing its place in history for that second Champions could not reach a year ago, a title confirm their place of privilege in future chronicles.
In Manchester, signings, few. More merit even for a club that has not been exceeded expenditures and that, individually, was stronger two years ago, but now is more equipment. But Ferguson's eye remains a very wise signings. In Rome, the United had Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez, two players who gave much joy to the British club. Both went after that game and was replaced by Owen and Valencia, modest additions compared to the replaced.
However, the best substitute for the Portuguese team's undisputed figure was someone who was already in the template: a Rooney finally exploded whenever gallons purchased and occupied the spaces vacated the crack Portugal. For its part, Berbatov was improving its performance after a first season irregular. Valencia, more extreme than Cristiano Ronaldo, provided a good performance and Nani confirmed its quality. For his part, Owen had no answer. All of them joined this season Chicharito Hernandez, who has finished making its way into the starting dazzling and forming a formidable duo with Rooney.
By Barca, the largest variations are also in the attack, while the base in defense and midfield remains the same. Henry emptied his repertoire after a great season and was never the same, finding a replacement for the squad Pedro luxury. Eto'o stepped down Ibrahimovic up front, but actually it was Messi who left the band and ended up at the center but with freedom of movement. The arrival this year of Villa to play on the left heeled confirmed the formula of playing without striker.
On this occasion, Barcelona will not have many problems on defense as two years ago when they were punished Alves and Abidal, Marquez and Milito Cáceres injured and his coach did not count. Puyol had to play on the right, took the band Sylvinho Touré left foot and the center of defense alongside an imperial Piqué. This time, Guardiola has all its forces available, although I must say that on that occasion, Barca behind worked perfectly. Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta repeated except surprise in the middle.
Ferguson opted for Cristiano Ronaldo up front with Rooney listed to the left. Behind them, Carrick, Park, Anderson and Giggs were a village seeking midfield pressure in the attacking and quick exit. The Luso tried everything and was very active in the first half, but the first goal of Barcelona, Eto'o work of a recognized but never adequately appreciated, changed everything. With the first goal in the score in their first time, Guardiola's team controlled the game at will and Manchester did not know how to react. His players were running after the ball without any prize and wearing too much.
Guardiola has already said that, playing as in Rome, may not be champions to be deja vu, and Ferguson says he learned his lesson. Today we will check what aces are stored in the mangto win the battle on the board. One thing seems clear: his own, Barcelona has no equal, but it has been shown that there are ways to stand up to the Barca team. The Manchester play closer to home, but Barcelona Wembley feels like something is also yours. English Stage sentencing. To win the game.
