http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara has shown that the last batch was not the end of producing those outstanding players. Thiago has shined in this season and other brilliant players are also on their way. The Mexican
youngster http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 and the young centre back Andreu Fontas are both candidates to become the next big thing at the Nou Camp.
Another reason why Barcelona are going to triumph this season is Josep Guardiola. No matter what the fans think and what the experts say, Josep Guardiola definitely has the brain to be called one of the best tacticians in the world. The Catalan coach has
accomplished more than Joan Cryuff in just a matter of three years. Josep Guardiola has shown that good players are not the only thing needed by a manager to win trophies; in fact, good tactics are very important to help the team win silverware.
As soon as Jose Mourniho arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu, everyone thought that the Portuguese coach is going to dethrone Josep Guardiola’s men quite easily. However, Guardiola did his homework and easily evaded Mourinho’s threat for the first season. Moreover,
Guardiola also helped his side win the Spanish Super Cup before the start of this season to show that he is willing to win more trophies.
Josep Guardiola’s first encounter with Jose Mourinho was simply phenomenal. Barcelona won the game 5-0 at their home – the Nou Camp and it was simply a humiliating defeat for the Portuguese boss. The Catalan coach then helped his side draw the second leg
and that helped Barcelona win the Spanish La Liga.
Later, Guardiola faced Jose Mourinho in the final of the Copa del Rey. The Portuguese tactician found a way to get past Guardiola’s men and won the game 1-0 in order to take the only silverware last season. Barcelona were definitely the better side throughout
the season but Mourinho still helped his side to win at least one cup.
The two sides then collided in the UEFA Champions League semi final. Just when everyone though that Josep Guardiola is going to lose against Mourinho, the Catalan boss deployed the perfect tactics at the Santiago Bernabeu and helped his side win the game
0-2 away from home. Even though the match didn’t end without a controversy, Barcelona still managed to score two away goals with the help of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and showed that they were the dominant force against Real Madrid throughout the game.
Barcelona then hosted Real Madrid in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final. Josep Guardiola just had to defend a two goal lead which he took at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid had to come forward in order to attack and Barcelona took
the lead first but later Los Blancos scored to end the game 1-1. Barcelona qualified on a 3-1 aggregate and later also won the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United.
