In fact, of the “Barcelona” we knew and know all. Including the fact that at a recent training session Neymar decided to perform intricate trick and an injury from which the Brazilian at best recover for the final. “Guangzhou” is for the vast majority of European fans of mystery. So more than a small educational program just will not. Chinese club dominated in China, and for the past five years as a privatized title. Most of the leading players of the Chinese team defend the colors of this particular team.
The second victory in the Asian Champions League, “Guangzhou” celebrated under the famous Luiz Felipe Scolari, who became the first specialist in the history of wins in This tournament and the Copa Libertadores. Under the supervision of the Brazilian played six compatriots, including the famous Robinho and midfielder Paulinho, who won the FIFA Club World Cup with “Corinthians” and a half years defended the colors of the “Spurs”. If not for the Chinese luxury conditions in Europe have certainly looked at home and shone forwards Elkeson and Ricardo Goulart. Last moved to the “Guangzhou” from “Cruzeiro” with the rank of two-time champion Brazil and the first season of chop 19 goals in the Chinese league, add on to it eight punches in the Asian Champions League.
Not surprisingly, Felipau, who came to the Land of the Rising Sun 13 years after the memorable victory at the World Cup, ahead of a meeting with the “Leopard” brave and assured that the victory over the Catalans is not something impossible. The chances of success of the Chinese rose after reports that besides Neimar in the semifinals will not play even Messi. According to the official website, “Barcelona” just before the starting whistle, Leo suffers from renal colic and abdominal pain, and the possibility of his participation in the next match of the tournament will be known only after a detailed medical examination.
As a result of support from the flanks Suarez was entrusted Munir and Sergi Roberto. On the tactical scheme of these shifts are not affected in any way, but the raisins in the final stage of the “Bars” initially lacked. Spaniards habitually long controlled the ball, trying to stretch a multilayer defense, “Guangzhou” at the expense of short-and medium-sized gears, but thanks to the competent and hedging rebuild the Chinese do not allow the opponent to feel at ease directly in the box. The creation is the best team in Asia relied on rapid exit from defense to attack, and quick feet of their forwards.
Once Elkeson almost ran to the gate, but at the last minute was stopped Mascherano . Then, in response to a flank pitch Boven did not hit his head on the ball from the goal line. In between these episodes that surprised original hairstyle trademark cross from Iniesta finally ripped the opponent’s defense, and Munir got the ball right in front of the gate. A moment later, those who had not seen the quarterfinals between the “Guangzhou” and Mexican “America”, to understand why the goalkeeper Chinese Li Shuai earned comparisons with Superman.
At times it seemed that Scolari before this game several times revised memorable match “Ruby” to “Camp Nou”. But if the team Kurban Berdyev then retained the maximum concentration before the final whistle, its Chinese followers costly second loss of focus. No time to cover inflicted the long-range strike Rakitic goalkeeper clumsily reflected a melted on an intricate trajectory of the ball, and Suarez, rushing to finish off like a hawk after prey, a chance not to miss.
This goal soon made the game open and made “Guangzhou” to remember that the game is the second number is not his strong point, and in Asia, he almost “Barcelona”. Ending the first half notebooks favorites had to spend in the defense, and one of the “standards” almost finished Elkeson, who inflicted a tricky kick pad. If no response stretched the ball out of the bottom corner Bravo, “Bars” would have to be after the break to start all over again.
Instead, the team of Luis Enrique advantage of the fact that the opponent went ahead and in its protective orders was more space. The second scoring attack to have a truly brilliant. And all brilliant, as you know, is simple. Suarez threw the ball back to Iniesta, having made an instant leap behind defenders, and which was followed by an ideal of strength and precision gear riding. Uruguayan chest and earn the ball without letting it fall on the lawn, the second touch sent into the far corner. The logical reflection has total superiority of “Barcelona” was the first in the history of the club Mundial hat-trick, designed Suarez through earned-Munir penalty.
On Sunday, the 12th in a row the final of the club championship the world will play for the ninth time representatives in Europe and South America, and in case of victory, “Barcelona” will be a three-time winner of the tournament, beating also has to his credit two Brazilian title “Corinthians”.
