messi to banquillo

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.

Crisis solved

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.
