Football becomes et li gifts which
Football gives you back what you give. That is the slogan chosen by FC Barcelona and the company that equips, Nike, for the shirt commemorating the victory in the UEFA Champions League 2010/2011. A slogan at the level of football displayed the last three years, including the first six titles, three league titles in a row, two champions ... also about issues that go beyond mere football, as this theme takes on another dimension if we repair the image Eric Abidal of lifting the championship trophy in Europe. Here is a look at the players in the grand final last night at Wembely.
Víctor Valdés
The four-time winner of the Trofeo Zamora is a big game goalie, and has demonstrated on many occasions. But last night was just work. He was brave to leave the only error cuffs of his back shortly after the match starts. She could do nothing against the unstoppable shot from Rooney in the equalizer.
Dani Alves
He joined the attack to hit and he even set foot in area, while no defense struggled. Completely beat the game to Park, did not neglect his back did not waver when tested against Rooney when he fell to his band. After the final twelve, the thirteenth finally came the opportunity to play a Champions League and win.
Javier Mascherano
The Argentine came to Barcelona to play a secondary role and work with humility to catch the rhythm of the team. Guardiola seven months after it reinvented itself as a central and has met the jefecito note. Last night I only made one error at first, a long ball to Rooney who ate. Since there was an impenetrable wall and went ahead to cut several trips excellent midfield.
Gerard Piqué
Third Champions in four years. After winning the first with his own Manchester United, Guardiola opted to him and brought him to Barcelona. At this time has had a number of partners: Puyol, the most common, Abidal and Mascherano, lately, but Milito, Márquez, Busquets, Touré and the list goes on ... It blends well with everyone and their ancestry in the team grows in each party. Last night was imperial, beat all and confirmed, if it was necessary to make any more merit, as the best defender of the year.
Eric Abidal
Abidal's story goes far beyond a simple football match, even well above a three-year full of successes. Three months ago, faced the toughest match of his life and won. Since then struggled to get to this game and took the field emanating from a force that spread to his teammates. He made a very serious game, forcing Valencia to do just highlight faults. After the final victory captains agreed to cede him the bracelet and was the first to raise Orejona to heaven and his lungs.
Sergio Busquets
I never tire of saying it. This guy only has twenty-two years. Last night took out the snow and swept the field far and wide. Their deployment is huge. At a time is coming forward to make the second or even the first line of pressure, and a moment later is closing in the middle of their plants. Contributed to move out of the ball and his teammates managed to find between the lines. Blaugrana Capital in style.
Xavi Hernández
The engine of this legendary team. From it all flows. Ran 11.9 km., More than anyone, and made good passes 141 of 148 attempts (95%). We took ten minutes to find the ball, when he did, and not let go. He teamed up with Iniesta and Messi in the center and giving the field anche Pedro and Villa play in bands. When Manchester made the mistake of letting him think for a counter, the Terrassa assistance served to mark the canary first. After the goal of Manchester, called for the ball and not let his men hesitate even a second of what he had to keep doing. Every day new coach smacks more of the house. Is responsible for a coming Barça 3.0? /> <3Adé> Andrés Iniesta
His main job was in the movement without the ball, dancing between the lines, creating higher and offers solutions everywhere, both at the start of the play from behind, as in transition or in supporting the ends. Not stressed as much as others, but completed a great game that could have put the icing with a try vaseline stood throughout the world.
Pedro Rodriguez
The guy who holds the record for being the only player to have scored in six competitions during the same year, has a motivation for special parties. May not play well, but rare is when it fails to score a goal. Yesterday was the first to disturb Van der Sar and soon after opened the can with a good uncheck and a definition which displayed a commendable foresight and tranquility. The same could be said of his effort to pressure, always supportive and generous with his teammates.
David Villa
He joined the club by his hunger for titles after leading the Spanish team win the World Championship and his goals. I wanted to win the league and the Champions League and it has achieved in its first year. She wore a few months with serious aim, but when the opportunity came, sealed the match with a goal precious. Few were happier than him after the referee will whistle the end of the meeting.
Lionel Messi
He promised his fans have not missed the Romaine. Appeared at the right time to tip the contest scoring the 2-1. He also participated in the genesis of the third goal. It was a real headache for the entire Manchester, Ferguson included. 12 goals in 11 games in this edition of the Champions League, equaling the record of Van Nistelrooy. 53 goals in 55 games in a season that has led to Barca in achieving double-Champions League, plus the runner-up butler. To speak of the Flea, who better than Guardiola
It's the best player I've seen, probably the best player I'll see. We played well, we have players, but he makes us the difference. Messi is unique, unrepeatable ... Expect some variation, the club expect him to give his side the players necessary for that he can still feel comfortable, because when it does, it does not fail.
Seydou Keita
Came to reinforce the midfield and add a game room with air as a forecast end of the United arreón not occurred. Is a child but has participated in 51 games during the season, including 35 league (15 in the holder and 20 substitute) and 10 of Champions (4 and 6). A team player whose value is much higher than its price.
Carles Puyol
The captain was dropped from the starting lineup for a knee problem for which is likely to undergo surgery this summer. Took the field with Xavi gesturing him to stay with the bracelet. Had time to feel part with one of those cuts his own in which the ball played out but it just landed with a crash. His was the representation of gesture agreed to release him to Abidal Xavi of the symbolic captain to be the first to receive the cup. Grande and off the field.
Ibrahim Afellay
As usual, Guardiola was awarded to alternate in better shape to last stage of the race giving the opportunity to walk on the grass across a grand final of Champions League. Give him time to throw on goal, matching the figure for the entire United together.
Pep Guardiola
We could not finish this review of the players in the game last night without devoting a special section to Pep Guardiola. Three years of coaching elite. Ten titles in thirteen championships where he has participated with a team consisting of a vast majority of youth players. Last night was the party participating in eight children in La Masia, seven headlines Puyol and still had three more on the bench.
Wembley as a player won the first European Cup as FC Barcelona coach has made two more, the third and fourth in Rome at the new Wembley, closing a circle of glory for a club that he symbolizes as anyone. Equals the record of the Forest as the only two technicians to achieve two Champions in his first three units and also surpasses Mourinho as the youngest coach to win two apricots, lowering the record of 47 to 40 years. Started as a ball boy running behind Venables to hold a classificationfor a final, thirty years later is the most important figure in the history of a club anniversary with his mentor, Johan Cruyff.
