Guardiola – is good, but better than Messi – SPORT – EXPRESS

Champions League. 1/2 finals. The first match. “Barcelona” – “Bavaria” – 3: 0

Sobkor “SE” in Germany – the first supermatcha “Barcelona” and “Bavaria” in the Champions League semi-final .

“It is difficult to change, without changing anything. But we will!” – Sacramentally I noticed once a very prominent politician. You can not break it down in this match, but we will try. I personally saw 10 reasons deposition of the “Bavaria”.

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5th – Lionel Messi. The genius of pure water. Drama, disaster, plagues for any opponent, if the Argentine in the mood. Footballer Height 169 cm Wednesday was ten goals above all. Incredible Neymar and Suarez on his background seemed mediocre players. Goalkeeper “Barcelona” Ter Stegen after the final whistle, murmured: “Looking at him, you just need to enjoy.” Pep Guardiola nodded: the outcome of the game decided talent Messi. But the coach of the “Bavaria” knew everything in advance. Sighed the day before at a press conference: “Stop it impossible. Nobody can control Messi”.

6. Breathe out. And acknowledges: “Leopard” was delicious. It shows the intensity of football, won nearly 60 percent of the martial arts, the speed varied from very high to very, very high. However, the Bavarians, of course, also tried … At some point, it seemed – Guardiola played against Guardiola. Both teams were eager to control what happens on the field, hold the ball, after his loss immediately put pressure. But aggressive collected and extremely hungry in the game to succeed hosts all turned out much better. They are now exactly in the juice. Unlike the appeasers. If not for Neuer, would go away sorrowful way, “Getafe” (0: 6) or “Cordoba” (0: 8), which Messi and company recently destroyed in the Spanish championship.

7. Sorry, no platitudes will not do. Bavarians missed terribly traumatized, particularly Robben and Ribery. It is possible to imagine that until the 77th minute resourceful, stubborn Dutchman would be thrown out with the Frenchman on the pitch something like that, and then the owners would have felt sad. And then, suddenly, things could go differently. “The loss of such class players like Robben and Ribery in the matches of this level can not be compensated,” – sadly noted the former captain of the “Bavaria” Steffan Effenberg.

And more injuries, more precisely, their side effects. 12 players, “Bavaria” in the current season long or very long stay at the hospital. And some of them more than once. When he returned, of course, did not manage to score former condition. Look at Lama, Schweinsteiger, Tiago Alcantara … And Lewandowski played in a protective mask. Maybe without her and would send the ball into the net after a pass Muller luxury. However, the new in all this is nothing. We remember the defeat of the “Bavaria” from “Wolfsburg”, menhengladbahskoy “Borussia”, “Bayer”. The “Barcelona” worse?

8 Watch albeit on a chain, but the time is still coming. Reminded me this aphorism Lahm and Schweinsteiger. On the first Guardiola says that he is the most intelligent of all the people he coached. On the second and say nothing. But they grow old – for the lightning movements Catalans have not kept pace. Passport still not be fooled. This concerns Xabi Alonso – also chest with medals, but speed is not enough sometimes. In general, as Dumas: The Three Musketeers twenty years later. Add another four – not to gain strength after a year of treatment Tiago Alcantara and see how mobile and endurance was the Munich middle line. Perhaps not coincidentally, all three goals in the last guests got 13 minutes?

9. We got finally to Guardiola . With tactics, he seems too clever by half. He started with three defenders … And it is against Messi, Neimar and Suarez, who thus provided space. Understandably, I wanted to get a numerical advantage in midfield. But to play with “Barcelona” – anyway, what to do hara-kiri. Well, just hung up, and 15 minutes Bernat pulled back. In general, I try Guardiola, did …

There is no doubt, knows everything. But do not play defensively. Recall the first goal. The match comes to an end, the score 0: 0. Have not finished dismantling after falling in the penalty guests Neimar, and Neuer has hand throws the ball forward to no end is mistaken Bernat. Immediately loss goal and Messi. Why, one wonders, was the hurry? After all, the partners have not yet managed to take a position on the field. Why not braked Guardiola wards? The scoreboard is willing zeros. Wise-haired Franz Beckenbauer in the TV studio Sky lamented had to calm the game …

10. Now Bavarian replacement . When instead of Mueller in the end came out Goetze, the same Kaiser and sat next to him in the studio of the legendary tennis player Boris Becker (at the time was in the governing bodies of the “Bavaria”) simultaneously shrugged: “It is not clear …” In fact, Muller was fresh He may at any time to score. Releasing on 88 minutes in the final of the 2014 World Cup on the Goetze, Joachim whispered to him: “Show the world that you’re better than Messi.” And after 25 minutes he scored a golden goal.

Do not know what Guardiola said the player, but “Camp Nou” Goetze Messi was so worse that even compare their sin. 22-year-old general lately fade. Beckenbauer said losing arts and costs – as a junior. And so, instead of fighter Goetze Muller …

PS . Of course, to criticize the great coach that only with “Bars” for 4 years took 14 titles out of 19 possible, the matter is far from noble. But it was too sonorous appeared he received a slap in the semifinals of the compatriots – in the last season of “Real” is now at the first meeting with the native “Barcelona”. In order to “Allianz Arena” to rectify the situation, the miracle will be a little …

This recalls that Jurgen Klopp, for example, with a much more modest “Borussia” from the same ” Real “not shied away: in six matches of the Champions League with three wins and a draw. Incidentally, in the summer of leaving Dortmund coach about his future plans are not declared. Beckenbauer also recently revealed that in Klopp, “Bayern” has always been a topic of discussion …

And always remember Jupp Heynckes. For two years in the “Bavaria”, he left behind the Champions League and the “Real” and “Leopard”, double-penetrated into the final, and in 2013 it won. And somehow the cameras around him was sharply lower. By the way, on Saturday Heynckes – 70. Good health, Jupp!
