Live Match:-barcelona Vs Athletico Madrid {supercopa Final Second Leg Match} by kingopta(m): 9:55pm On Aug 28, 2013 |
WELCOME TO THE LIVE UPDATES Tonight FC Barcelona welcome Atlético Madrid to Camp Nou for the second leg of the Supercopa de España, having drawn the first leg 1-1 in Madrid. Atlético put Barça to the test in the Vicente Calderon, with the Blaugrana struggling under the intense pressure of La Liga’s strongest defense and the hostile colchonero stadium. Barça held on, however, and key subs by Martino in the second half were able to exploit a tiring Atlético Madrid back line and earn a vital away goal. Although no team ever comes into the Camp Nou confident of a win, with Atléti fresh off a 5-0 demolition of Rayo Vallecano and Barça struggling to a 1-0 victory at La Rosaleda, the “other” Madrid team might feel they can hold off their formidable hosts and nick a win. In their first match-up, Atléti stifled Barça’s attack with a rock-solid, very compact block. The center-backs and midfield destroyers teamed up to deny any space to Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi, completely nullifying Barcelona’s more passive creators and forcing the ball out wide. The Atlético forwards were the key, tracking back to help isolate Barça’s players in wide positions and double- or triple-teaming the wingers, but then breaking quickly forward on counters to expose Alves and Alba. Diego Simeone’s side will be looking to replicate this tactical success, though perhaps mollifying their intense pressure to avoid losing shape in the second half. For their part, Barça must react by bringing dynamism and verticality to this return leg, players whose constant movement and forward runs will disrupt Atlético Madrid’s carefully organized block and generate space to circulate the ball. Players like Neymar, Cesc, Alexis, and Sergi Roberto all have these qualities and have all thrived in preseason and Martino’s first few official matches. These more direct players will be key for Tata in this match and in this season overall, as they offer a way to unlock the physical, disciplined defenses Barça will continue to encounter at elite levels. While Martino’s back line is fairly predictable, much of the decisions in midfield and forward selection will come down to whether Lionel Messi should start. The recently injury-ridden Argentine “trained harder with the players who didn’t feature against Málaga,” according to Martino, and has been given the medical green light. It would probably be prudent not to play Messi and not risk aggravating his injuries, but it is unclear if Tata is ready to bench an eager and demanding Leo Messi. He has, however, been firm with his careful introduction of Neymar, saying, “My aspiration is for him to be a Barça player for 10 to 12 years, not for him to fix my problems in one match.” Martino did admit that Neymar is ready to start matches, although the decision has not been made yet. Should neither Messi or Neymar start, expect Fàbregas to once again play the role of backup Messi, a false “false 9,” if you will. I personally prefer Cesc in midfield, where his vertical runs come as more of a surprise for defenders, avoiding the static midfield problem Barça has had with Xavi and Iniesta against strong defenses. Xavi also has started all three matches this season, and could definitely use a rest. In place of Fàbregas, Martino has the option of selecting Alexis Sanchez as a center-forward, a possibility he alluded to when mentioning that he wanted “the Chilean Alexis” to play for Barça. Sanchez has been in inspired form for his country, and his link-up play, off the ball movement, and increased confidence in front of goal are all highlighted when fielded in a more central role.
