Barca team goes through the goal scored in Bilbao after two draws in a vibrant tie between two teams who appealed to the heart rather than head
It was hot in Bilbao under a light drizzle, but in San Mames threatened the tropics, the warmth of 40,000 throats convinced that miracles are as much as the difference between the contenders announce no pitched battles. It is clear that San Mames is well above the members of their tenants. And it imposes. And so the Barcelona decided that what mattered was the ball even at the expense of pace, take the ball to the Athletic not to attack, so that the lion is not disheveled with these attitudes visceral desnortando the most painted finish.
He picked up the ball, either Piqué, and Xavi and Busquets, but the sense of danger was proportionately equal to the slow reflexes of Barca team when the area loomed. It was as if suddenly San Mames were longer than they appear in the statistics and as narrow as when Messi, Villa and Peter wanted to join in with the carpet pasillito broken.
Athletic suffered without the ball, running here and there, but did not care. Psyched for it had gone in search of a golden opportunity, which was Susaeta, and hoping that Barca do not translate their dominance into chances. In fact, only made clear in a shot from close range for Villa and another that nullified the auxiliary non-existent offside Pedro. Little balance for a team so superior statistical possessively against an opponent who had accepted the punishment as his discourse on method.
Bears repeating that the Athletic Caparrós is based on the application because chances defensively will always have to play against who you play and where you play. Guardiola and Caparrós had left good wit grams on the bench. Barca dispensed with Iniesta, perhaps by the shift rotations, perhaps by applying muscle in midfield with Keita, the resting left Atletico Muniain, the most creative player template, appealing to players of a single property.
Without mixing, the rondo is dull. And the club, in the first half, it was so neat and straight. A team with more touch that spark, an Athletic reassuring that all the troops had prepared the piece, thinking that the tie-minute gave a chance for survival, an argument for conviction.
Caparros was left with four and half what it did in the Nou Camp without giving vent to what the step required to their songs, with its broken thermometer in the heat. Many people on defense and a lot of muscle in the midfield. Something like continuing to take the guest hall of the Cathedral without inviting him to see the kitchen. Or Xavi, nor his three musketeers developed, were active partners to maintain the office. Bad news for Barca, who was little and badly Messi, tangled in red and white shirts and more confused than enlightened.
The draw against Athletic and played against Barca, most required the team reportedly minor. Caparros did not change. Whether the heart was imposed in the Athletic, after the break, getting a faster, opening his gang in search of the center always has the spotlight in Llorente, Javi Martínez and Gurpegui while still accumulating liters of sweat in an attempt to pack the midfield and both Barca extend their attacks are so long, so loosely organized, that would make them less dangerous.
Hard to believe that a team so cerebral, Barca, and one so visceral, Athletic, had so little offensive production. I tried Peter to the weakness in Messi, assuming that role he has corresponded, and Iniesta stitched behind its barrage of front. Barca began to look himself in the last half hour, when Athletic’s son felt a burden. San Mames with the team awarded Guardiola, Barça reinvented Iniesta’s patience and the diagonals of Peter to go stirring the soup in search of a goal that seemed to clearly definitive.
And he found a defender Abidal, all a symptom, naked to the Atleti defense too committed to defend the middle with a tag players. It was his first official goal for Barcelona in four seasons. Perhaps the Athletic had given too much convincing to take the ship and little to overcome. Perhaps a bad night dreaming of Barca, who had painted many times, and neglected their chances of scarce they were. We arrived late with a goal from Llorente, who returned to the boiler San Mames, the final apotheosis, the magic of the Cup, the territory of the unexpected. And although nobody went Barca beat anyone. Decided by the regulation.
