I don't know if many of you had the chance to watch the Barcelona-Santos game for the Football Clubs WC early today.
Man what a concert of football Barça gave, what a team! ...One half was more than enough ...74% ball possession. Santos (the other team that happened to be there) just simply didn't exist ....Neymar? did he play?
I have never ...ever in my life and I'm not young...has ever seen a team like Barcelona , the way they play is just sublime. Remember just last week they destroyed probably the second best team in the world Real Madrid by a clear 3-1
Today was a concert 4-0 the second half shouldn't have been played....
The three best players today : Xavi , Dani Alves and Messsssssi
Xavi played unbelievable ...Alves the in theory right defender who was playing as right half back but was nevertheless the most dangerous attacker for Barcelona ....And Messi oh Messi....what can be said....too awesome scores...
They are a tactically perfect team, technically each of their players are amazing, simply the best ...and they play for the 'team' not for iindividualities. They play give and go and keep away in just 2 ft sq. they drive crazy any opponent.
More importantly : 9 of the 11 starters today were from the Masia i.e. they were generated and trained at Barcelona since they were little kids.... Valdes, Puyol (who played awesome as well), Pique, Bousquet, Iniesta, Xavi, Thiago, Messi and Cesc Fabregas all were born in Barcelona... never seen... and there are more awesome players in the pipeline...
For those that have not seen the match , just try to lose 45 min of your live and look just at the first half is a lesson of real football , something that I believe will be difficult to watch again in our lifetime.
well I'm done :)
