Manchester United – The team which can beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 (Part 1)
Manchester United and Barcelona are going to play against each other at the Wembley Stadium on May 28th 2011. Both the sides require only a single point to win their particular leagues. The English Champions are going to be facing the Spanish
Champions once again as both these sides also played each other in the final of the UEFA Champions League back in 2008-2009 season.
This year’s final between these two sides is going to be the second episode of the final played back in 2009. Barcelona won that game 2-0 in Rome and won their third European title. It was Manchester United’s second consecutive UEFA Champions League final
and they were favourites to win it. However, Josep Guardiola did his homework perfectly and helped his side win the trophy.
This year it is going to be the same. There are a few changes in both the teams but tactically both the sides are the same. Both the teams have the same manager. While Barcelona rely on their passing, Manchester United have their own ways to approach the
game.
The Catalan boss Josep Guardiola believes that keeping the ball can help them in their attacks. On the other hand, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson changes his tactics accordingly. The Scotsman has been the manager of Manchester United for twenty five years and he knows
all the players in and out.
That is the reason why Manchester United are winning the Premier League title despite being an average team on paper. The English side performs well under Sir Alex Ferguson who simply knows how to play his cards perfectly.
The best example of Sir Alex Ferguson knowing his team perfectly is the FA Cup quarter final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. Sir Alex Ferguson did not even play his first team
against them and still won the game 2-0.
Josep Guardiola on the other hand relies on all his favourite players for the big games. The Catalan boss has the best team available to him and that is one of the criticism he faces very often.
When Josep Guardiola was announced as the manager of Barcelona, he had a perfect team. He had players who played well with each other and had a good chemistry together. Moreover, those players were simply extraordinary in their departments.
With the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, Samuel Eto’o and others, Barcelona didn’t really need a lot of changes to win trophies. All they needed was a manager who could take good advantage of the team chemistry between
all these players and could apply it on the pitch to win games.
Josep Guardiola did exactly what was required from him. The Catalan boss signed a few players and made the team what it is today. Guardiola decided to buy back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique from Manchester United – the Catalan defender left the Spanish club when he was trying
to develop himself as a first team player.
Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol were able to make a good partnership in the centre back roles and that partnership later played a crucial part in Barcelona’s treble winning season.
