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.

The star of AC Milan valued quality blaugrana to which believes that harmed the poor role of his team.

The bright Ballon d2007, milanista Kaka, broke into praise Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the two players who have followed him in the vote to award delivery "France Football."

Ronaldo represents the speed and power Messi and the skill and control of the ball. They are young and full of talent, I appreciate

Real Madrid has six, and Barça and Bayern, five each. For leagues, the Calcium is the most first prize amount, seventeen, eleven of the Spanish league, ten in the Bundesliga and five in the Premier League.

While Messi is the first player in the League in the classification of 2007, the first Spanish is the Catalan Cesc Fàbregas, Arsenal, located on the eighth position. Ronaldinho took the tenth second place, while Thierry Henry is the nineteenth and Eto or, Thirty. Fernando Morientes (Liverpool), Villa (Valencia), Raul Gonzalez (R. Madrid) also nominated, did not receive any votes.

Two years after it placed his name in the European soccer panorama with a shining performance in the Gamper before the Juve (exactly such day as yesterday, but of the 2005), Leo Messi is called to being the determining player of Liga that today raises the drop curtain.

With a spectacular volea it gave the victory him to the Barça in the party that meant its reappearance after its vacations.

Legend like Maradona, Platini, Capello, Valdano, Beckenbauer or Ronaldinho has surrendered to their quality. The last praises to Leo have arrived from their Thierry companion Henry and his technician, Frank Rijkaard.

Within ten years I will be able to say that I played with Messi

Merece to be between the candidates to the Gold Ball. There are several and it is one. Messi is Messi, a great player, already has demonstrated so many things. I hope to take advantage of all that quality in the field ", explained the azulgrana technician on the Pulga

Equal of been thankful that unalterable to so many flatteries, Leo Messi only has in mind that arrives the hour from the party morning in Santander that will open the official season of the championship for the Barça.
