Barcelona look at the other eight players not exist

I had high expectations of football, but it was a huge disappointment. Barcelona played upsetting. It was limp. That Real very conservatively played football, I thought logically. Why would they participate in a show of Barcelona? It was with that memorial still a special Clasico as Real and a suit had been on his pants, it would be there for years suffered from had.

The victory was Real dikverdiend. Those three guys up front in Barcelona fried anything. And then there was little left. If this happens often, it can sometimes go Barcelona break. You see Messi, Suarez and Neymar do everything together, warming up, mysterious whisper behind their hands, that kind of weird things. The other players do not seem to exist. That goes very far. I am also fond of abbreviations, MSN, MNS or whatever, which they indicate which three players. Stop it!

They all need to be no problem if you win, but if that does not happen, it will break you. Then the other players will begin to stir. They will at some time have enough to do the dirty work. They run their heads off for three. Under Guardiola, Barcelona was a machine. They went also sometimes slicing, but it always remained an organized team. Now you see sometimes large gaps in the squad. The field has grown too large. Because the three linger in the front, it is almost impossible to amount more for the others.

I think those Arda a great player, but when he arrived in Barcelona on Saturday, it went completely wrong. He is another footballer than Rakitic, for whom he fell. Arda plays more forward and so you had someone at the front. That Barcelona really broke up. The last twenty minutes were a mess.

Of course, I heard again proclaim that these guys play football less because they have played international matches in South America. Nonsense! They indeed were with the time difference, but do you think they had to fly back together in a full plane with three or four seats? They have undoubtedly able to sleep lying in luxury. Since it was therefore not to.

I have previously written that Barcelona this season is not as good as suggested. It was against Real for at least the fifth or sixth time they played less. Only when they were lucky they did not hit an opponent of the caliber Real, but Las Palmas or so. Then they could get by with a few individual actions. It would not surprise me very much if Barcelona wins this year no major price. If tomorrow they too would lose Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, they are nervous. I have the weekend still part of Atlético against Betis Sevilla seen and it looked good, 5-1.

It makes the Champions League now more interesting. There is no clear favorite. Barcelona is not well off and Bayern Munich plays a lot less than in the first half of the league. I give Paris Saint Germain actually a good chance. The condition is that everyone there will continue to play in the service of the team.

As mentioned, I found very nice tribute to Cruyff. Both Barcelona and Ajax was classy. From all also proved again what a great footballer he was. I went last week with my car to the car wash and I was condolences to the death of Johan. The same happened when I went shopping at the supermarket. You noticed that all those people really did something.
