Valdes, Xavi, Iniesta and Bojan will, along with Leo, the key pieces of the new project, which will also be Milito.

The Barcelona in the 2008-09 season will be built under a backbone fully consolidated. Of course the cornerstone of the new project will be Leo Messi, the player most destabilising the template Blaugrana. But it will not be alone. The Argentinian will be travelling companions to a suite of youth squad players-players who will guarantee quality, experience and Valdes-like commitment under the sticks, and Iniesta and Xavi in midfield. Bojan also be within the package of key players in the new project. And another name itself, Gaby Milito, exercise leadership in the defense.

This backbone will also feature the strengthening of three complementary players that certainly will have a very important role in the new project. We are talking about the Ivorian Yaya Toure, a player who has shown in a single year have more commitment than others who have five years or more in the entity Blaugrana. That it will take to recover from the operation herniated disk that will be submitted at the end of this season to solve their problems on the back that you have left renqueante.

Another man who will take his role will be the captain Carles Puyol, although it will seek a man of weight as an alternative in the central axis, since the low of Thuram and very possible to leave an Marquez vacancy in that position. Finally, Abidal would also have a place in the banda left.

Thus, the priorities of the technical secretariat focus on a right side, a central, a left side, a defensive pivot, a midfielder, a striker and a left end. There is no doubt that all this will mean a significant investment, but at least we have already large crack.

Messi was the real hero in Glasgow. The Argentine was the author of two of the three goals that made him Barcelona to Celtic (2-3)

The Barça play of the fourth Champions inter alia because it showed in Glasgow that is infinitely better than the rugged and willing Celtic. Also because won with a remarkable collective action (2-3), two of many Messi, and top scorer of the competition and the best Ronaldinho minutes too long.

Despite the authority visitor, there were a couple of scares, two blizzards that made Scottish shake the foundations of Celtic Park and the ever-voluble personality azulgrana. Two cabezazos after centres from the left that led to book[+]

There will be revolution in Celtic Park if Rijkaard gives continuity to the tactic that tested yesterday behind closed doors.

Frank Rijkaard used yesterdays training behind closed doors to rehearse tactics without Leo Messi as the holder for the party tomorrow at Celtic Park. The body of technical Barcelona is assessing the possibility of submitting an alignment in Glasgow with more troops in the center of the field and ensure that the possession of the ball bearing in mind that always subtracted 90 minutes per play at the Camp Nou.

The alternative cover for the possible absence of Messi would be among the return to the team Iniesta, who was an alternate and did not dispute any time in the match last Saturday in Zaragoza or dotrar much more muscle to the team and give input to Eidur Gudjohnsen , as a surprise. Significantly, when Barcelona visited Glasgow last November to face the Rangers, and was the Icelandic player was used as a tool to compensate for the thrust of the British.

Messi, neither has been very lucid in recent matches of the Barcelona as a visitor and there has been some depletion of the Argentine, who since returning from his injury has not had an opportunity to make a gradual integration team. Proof of this is that it has been replaced in the final leg of the last meetings of Barcelona.

Therefore, if the tests conducted behind closed doors yesterday were satisfactory, Barcelona could appear at Celtic Park with a pattern more similar to 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that when the front would be formed by Thierry Henry and Samuel Etoo, who thus returns to the team owner after his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

For the first time in a long time, Frank Rijkaard go to a meeting with the vast majority of their troops available, which increases the possible alignments. The fact that the meeting tomorrow will be the first act of an eliminatory scheduled to return merely increase the uncertainty concerning the possible team that could present the technician Dutch.

It seems certain that the defense, how well is carburando, is not going to vary. Valdes is untouchable as a goalkeeper in front of you will be aligned Puyol, Milito, Marquez and Abidal. A solid defence that can cope with the ordeal he intends to submit to the Celtic blaugrana through the air balls.

In this aspect of the game will be fundamental physical Yaya Toure in the centre of the field. When African fichó him to the stature in Europe and put Barcelona in the physical level of the great European teams.

The accompanying Yaya Toure depend largely on whether the evidence yesterday of a Barça without Leo Messi proved entirely satisfactory.

The substitution of Iniesta in La Romareda may suggest that Rijkaard thought in reserve to come to Scotland rested. If Rijkaard finally chooses to align four centrocampistas Deco and Xavi seems that they have more numbers, unless Guddy return to the team owner, rather than Deco.

Frank Rijkaard has chosen to the Recreation by Gudjohnsen in midfield and the team has understood the idea of his coach as a change to a more direct style and vertical. The result of this approach, neither Iniesta or Xavi have been the engines of the game blaugrana and thus have had difficulty finding steady pace of the match.

Across its rivals chose to shut his players grouping in the center and the slogan that Messi should mark out at least two players. Thus, the Argentine has hardly had chances to goal in the vicinity sticky because the markings of the visitors prevented a single entry with ease. Faced with the difficulties, the flea has tried to step forward and assume the role of absent Ronaldinho with a more active involvement after the first hour of play until it has been translated into pieces to serve.

However, the situation has come to turn Messi in the float Barça before the sinking, without Xavi Iniesta or use the good ball movement from a defense well capitaneada by Gaby Milito. Without ideas, only with the lightning of Messi, fortune for the local team has been that Recreativo has been confined to defend and even has come to try the gloves Victor Valdes in part because neither Sinama Pongolle or their midfielders surprised to Yaya Toure and zagueros barcelonistas.

Milito, the rescue
In the absence of 30 minutes Frank Rijkaard has decided to burn all its ships with the entry of Bojan by Gudjohnsen? Absolutely inappropriate in all its shares. But it has had to be Gaby Milito who opened the scoring for initialling his excellent match. In a Xavi corner from the right? Earlier had made Messi with little danger the Argentine cabeceaba in a clean and accurate to bring tranquility to their peers.

With the goal, the agenda of both teams needed to be changed radically. The Recreation and advanced lines at its first opportunity Bojan down after a good maneuver to leave behind his marker. Since then, both the young striker as his team has been smooth with a lot more ease and relaxation to show the public some details about quality? Especially in contragolpes-. However, neither Henry nor Messi have managed to overcome Sorrentino in the last minute to close the goleada.

Messi finally got the goal that both had sought? Of penalty- after a very individualistic game and the players have gone to local clothing with the feeling of accomplishment after a meeting with a very fought Recreativo than ever was made in the area of Victor Valdes with possibilities to score a goal. A great result for a package that did not work in Zambrotta in the band, Henry did not exceed its rivals, Messi just found holes and fell Puyol injured. On the opposing side, Recreativo could not start the tie I was looking for and it stays in job decline with 12 points.

The selection of Argentina, with the magic of Messi and Riquelme, did not give the option to obtain surprise victory at the home of Venezuela, 0-2, at the start of the second days matches of the World Cup South Africa 2010.

The goals of Milito and Messi were the obstacle to Venezuela, which lost for the ninth time in matches against the world champions. The beginning of the match was intense Venezuela with a good stop and trying to surprise with short touches to the backs of the Argentine players, who waited quietly in your area.

It was the hosts who had the first opportunity for goal with a free kick by Jose Manuel Rey (m.7) made to tremble Abbondanzieri, but was unsuccessful. Venezuela, at their best, with a good right hand of Arango and Paez, but the striker failed Giancarlo Maldonado in the definition compared with rival goalkeeper.

But Juan Roman Riquelme appeared to return to normal. Although it is not fine to the bow hand, provides much football to the Albiceleste. Riquelme, in paragraph Villarreal, who was lifted on impeccable free kick found clean header from defender Gabriel Milito (m.16), unopposed, to overcome and to establish the Vega 0-1. < br />
The goal fell as a flagon of cold water on Venezuela. With minutes, again approaching the premises and took control of the ball, but no deeper. Juan Arango, auction average distance could tie , but its launch was marched high.

FC Barcelona Lionel Messi (m.43) sentenced the meeting for Argentina at the end of the first half with a pulled from the entry area.

Venezuela does not cracked despite their disadvantage, while Argentina managed very well the advantage of the initial 45 minutes. The Albiceleste stopped playing their rivals aware that the rent was final.

In a play within the isolated area visitor, Arango Burdisso and their heads collided taking the brunt of the defender, who had to leave the game.

Basile gave debuts to German Denis scorer in the final 10 minutes to run the ball and seal its second consecutive victory.
