Fabregas

Conform gsp.ro, FC Barcelona a inaintat o oferta incredibila catre Arsenal Londra in vederea transferului capitanului Cesc Fabregas. Milocasul spaniol care a declarat ca e tentat sa evolueze din nou pentru fosta sa echipa este curtat de ceva vreme de catre Laporta, “boss-ul” celor din Catalunya. Iar ultima oferta a cazut chiar ca o “bomba”.

Yaya Toure

Bojan

Dupa ce in decursul acestei veri a plouat cu transferuri pe sume imense, se pare ca si in aceasta iarna vom vedea macar oferte aproape imposibil de refuzat: Barca ofera 50 de milioane de euro + doi jucatori (Yaya Toure + Bojan Krkic) pentru Francesc Fabregas. Daca suma e in concordanta cu pretul real al jucatorului nu stiu sa zic, dar conform transfermarkt.de, va pot spune ca cei doi jucatori ai Barcei pusi la bataie valoreaza 25.000.000 E (Yaya Toure), respectiv 12.000.000 E (Bojan). Deci, matematic vorbind, Barcelona pune la bataie nu mai putin de 87.000.000 de euro pentru Fabregas – o oferta incredibila.

“Baby” Bojan is all set to start for the Blaugrana after Ibrahimovic was ruled out of todays clash with Bilbao injured. If he does start, it will be his second of the season, and his 100th cap for Barcelona in all tournaments; and if he finds the back of the net, it will be his 3rd this season..

Eric Abidal and Rafa Marquez are both on the brink of signing new contracts with Barcelona.

Victor Valdes is hoping Ronaldo is fit for “el clasico” next week. The Barca No. 1 said: “The big players have to always play in the big games, and personally, I’ve always liked playing against the great.”

Xavi has expressed how pleased he is with coach Guardiola: “He is committed, meticulous, enthusiastic person. He has such a tremendous conviction in his belief and the ability to transmit all of his energy to you.” He went on to describe Pep and how he works: “He is very calm to be honest. He does not push too many things on you, his emphasis is on encouraging the players to enjoy themselves on the pitch and making the most of the privileged lives that we have.”

Meanwhile Bojan spoke about the past 3 years with the Bara first team. He revealed that he’s not the same person he was 3 years ago, that he’s learnt a lot and developed as a player and a person.When asked about the lack of playing oppertunities (he hasn’t featured in Barca’s last 3 matches)he said that he’s not worried as Barca are involved in a lot of matches and playing oppertunities will come his way.

Other Barca Babies – Thiago and dos Santos will be offered new deals with the Catalan giants. Both of the youngsters contracts run out at the end of the season , and Guardiola is keen to tie them both to the club for a few more years.

And finally, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent has declared that Zla’s long term future at the club is not guarenteed, hinting at a possible return to Inter before he finishes his career.

Real Madrid are ready to battle it out with Barca over Cesc Fabregas. Its been reported that Cesc has a gentlemans agreement with Wenger to leave Arsenal at the end of this season. Cesc came up through the Barca youth ranks, and was a part of the legendary cantera class of ‘87. But he never made an appearance for the first team and left for Arsenal at 16 to look for more playing opportunities. Rumours of a possible switch deal involving Krkic and Toure have appeared in the Daily Mail. Another rumour was the switch of Toure for Mascherano. I’m still trying to decide whether these will be smart moves or not (if any of these rumours materialise into something). Toure gives what a lot of holding mid fielders don’t: height. Whilst Mascherano is a class player, he doesn’t do much in the air and I still feel that Toure is a bit more creative. But seeing that I have soft spots for both Liverpool and Barcelona, I have to say that I hope that this deal goes through. Liverpool desperately need something extra, and Toure may be the answer. We all know that Masch’s family wants out, and I’m starting to believe that the Argentine captain doesn’t see eye with the boss. The best thing for ‘Pool to do is to let him go, I don’t believe in keeping a player at a club if his heart is not in it.

About the Krkic + Toure for “Fab”, while I do believe that Cesc is an awesome player and that he has Barca in his DNA etc etc I think this is going to be a stupid move. Solely because, Barca will be repeating their past mistakes. They lost Cesc to Arsenal all those years ago, they have now come back to reclaim their “son” and its proving to be difficult and costly. Krkic has shown far more potential than Cesc did when he was a Barca rookie. He’s broken into the squad and is really developing well. If they sell him, they’re just going to want to buy him back in 5 years for 10X more than they let him go for. Barcelona has the best youth system in the world, and they should really hold onto the fruits that they bear.

Real Madrid star Kaka believes that Messi will scoop the FIFA World Player of the year award. The man who won it two years ago believes that the Argentine maestro will win it because of his achievements with Barca. And i think he deserves it. Now I’m going to say something that may touch a nerve. Messi is one of the finest in the world and has been instrumental for Barca, but that’s about it. I’m not one of those critics that expect him to produce his club form for his country, no no no. Messi is undoubtedly a fabulous player, but it is largely thanks to those that play behind him (Xavi, Iniesta) and the truth is that Argentina don’t have players like that. I just believe that if you’re a truly a great footballer, you will deliver for your country. Don’t get me wrong, I myself am a big fan of Messi. But for me, players like Zidane, Ronaldinho and even Kaka who shine in their national colours will be remembered as greats. I believe that Messi will definitely come good for Los Albiceleste, but until then, he’s just one of the really good footballers of today. Hopefully he will shine at the World Cup next year.

El nuevo defensa del FC Barcelona, Maxwell, se ejercitó este miércoles con total normalidad tras lesionarse el pasado lunes ante el Sporting de Gijón

Guardiola no contó con todos sus jugadores en el entrenamiento matinal a causa de las citas de los internacionales con sus respectivas selecciones. Sin embargo, algunos futbolistas del filial y del juvenil le ayudaron a completar un partidillo en el que el lateral brasileño Maxwell demostró estar completamente recuperado.

Por su parte, el joven Bojan Krkic se ejercitó al margen, mientras que Andrés Iniesta no completó el entrenamiento del grupo.

Estará de baja entre dos y tres semanas de baja como consecuencia de una rotura muscular

El joven delantero catalán Bojan Krkic estará de baja entre dos y tres semanas de baja como consecuencia de una rotura muscular en el aductor medio de la pierna izquierda, que se produjo en el partido Barcelona-Sporting (3-0), que le obligó a abandonar el campo.

El jugador tuvo un encontronazo con un jugador del Sporting cuando ambos iban a buscar el balón, acción en la que el jugador barcelonista no puso con decisión el pie y cayó al suelo lesionado.

Después de la primera exploración que se le realizó en el vestuario, el delantero estará de baja entre quince y veinte días por una rotura fibrilar.

Menos alarmante es la situación del brasileño Maxwell, quien también debió abandonar el campo aquejado por un problema muscular. Estará unos días en observación y se le realizarán unas pruebas para ver cómo evoluciona la contractura del recto anterior que le ha hecho abandonar el campo en la segunda parte contra el Sporting.

Primo trofeo per il Barcellona. Dopo il magico “triplete” della scorsa stagione, i campioni di Spagna e d’Europa conquistano l’8ª Supercopa della loro storia, battendo 3-0 l’Athletic Bilbao, già sconfitto 2-1 nella gara d’andata al San Mames.Il primo tempo al Camp Nou impiega qualche minuto a decollare, ma poi il Barça, diretto magistralmente dall’immancabile Xavi a centrocampo, inizia a prendere ritmo. Il tridente Messi-Ibrahimovic-Henry è l’attrazione della serata: gli occhi sono quasi tutti per lo svedese, che debutta in blaugrana in una partita ufficiale insieme a Maxwell, suo compagno anche nell’Inter. Primi venti minuti senza grossi sussulti, poi tre occasioni in tre minuti: colpo di testa di Henry fuori, destro di Messi parato da Iraizoz e tentativo di Xavi sull’esterno della rete. Ci prova anche Piqué, poi è la volta di Ibra, liberato da un passaggio geniale di Messi, ma Iraizoz gli nega il gol mostrando buoni riflessi.Al rientro dagli spogliatoi, però, la diga basca crolla. E va giù in fretta, rovinosamente. Al 5′ Messi saluta Ustaritz, cambia marcia e quasi senza angolo supera Iraizoz in uscita. Al 17′, traversa di Puyol su calcio d’angolo, ma al 22′ arriva il secondo gol: Alves si procura un rigore che scatena le proteste ospiti, Messi lo trasforma con freddezza. Guardiola, a quel punto, decide che 70 minuti possono bastare per la “prima” di Ibra. E così lo svedese, osannato dal pubblico del Camp Nou, lascia il posto a Krkic. Bojan impiega appena due minuti a fare ciò che a Ibrahimovic non era riuscito per tutta la partita: buttarla in rete. Lo favorisce un erroraccio di Iturraspe, che lo libera di fatto davanti a Iraizoz. Prima della fine, Xavi potrebbe arrotondare il bottino, ma per il Barça può bastare così: primo titolo stagionale e Real Madrid raggiunto a quota 8 Supercoppe spagnole vinte.

Bojan Krkic quiere dar un paso adelante en la nueva temporada que está a punto de empezar y por eso en el último anuncio de Nike bajo el lema ‘Sé tu propia revolución’ (Be The Revolution of You) repasa con imágenes de su etapa de formación su trayectoria.

Bojan apunta a titular en la Supercopa.

El jugador del F.C. Barcelona Bojan Krkic aseguró que, en caso de salir de titular en el partido de Supercopa del domingo, “no será ninguna presión” porque este es “un partido más” y el objetivo será “disfrutar” y que “el equipo gane“.

“No se ha hablado nada aún, pero, si hay tantas dudas y la gente no llega, no somos tantos, y quizá salga de titular. Lo importante es estar todos y disfrutar de esta partido“, explicó.

Es posible que el delantero no sea el único jugador de la cantera que salga de inicio y Bojan aprovechó la ocasión para elogiar el trabajo del club con los más jóvenes. “Hemos demostrado que podemos jugar, tenemos calidad para afrontar un partido y para defender la delantera del Barça, hay que tener confianza en la gente de la cantera y de esta plantilla. La calidad está, lo otro ya veremos“, subrayó.

El de Linyola evitó cualquier posible favoritismo en la eliminatoria, y más con las bajas que tiene el equipo. “Aunque estuviésemos todos podríamos decir que somos favoritos. Jugamos ante el Athletic, que es un gran equipo sobretodo en su campo, nos pondrá las cosas complicadas. Será un partido diferente al de la Copa y tendremos que sudar para sacar un resultado positivo“, apuntó.

El Barcelona sólo ha realizado dos incorporaciones este verano y la plantilla ha quedado un poco corta pero el delantero, aunque afirmó que “ojalá” llegue alguien, confirmó que si no hay ningún fichaje, “no hay que preocuparse“.

“Hay mucha calidad en la plantilla, somos prácticamente los mismos. Las incorporaciones mantienen el nivel y con ello vamos a afrontar los seis títulos al máximo y seguro que no necesitaremos más. Si vienen, bienvenidos, ojalá, pero si no, no hay que preocuparse“, añadió.

“Con tanto viaje es normal tener molestias”

Bojan también habló sobre la lesión del argentino Leo Messi y aseguró que es normal que “con tanto viaje” y “sin descanso” aparezcan dolores, y más en un jugador de la explosividad del delantero. Otra de las polémicas con el ‘10′ es su posible ausencia en la primera jornada de Liga para jugar el Argentina-Brasil clasificatorio para el Mundial de Sudáfrica.

“No sabía nada. Hay que respetar cualquier decisión, si quiere jugar es normal, es un gran partido, además defiende a su país. Son temas de Leo y el club, no tengo nada que opinar“, espetó.

El espejo en el que se ha de mirar ahora el joven delantero es Zlatan Ibrahimovic. El sueco es el teórico titular y con su experiencia puede enseñar mucho al de Linyola. “Tengo que aprender muchas cosas de él, como de todos los que están en el equipo porque por algo son de los mejores del mundo. No me ha sorprendido porque no lo vamos descubrir ahora, pero en directo es un jugador muy grande, se mueve con mucha facilidad y elegancia, da gusto verlo. Además es un chico muy humilde y encantador, de momento muy bien“, explicó.

Antes de la llegada de Ibrahimovic su mentor fue Samuel Eto’o, un jugador del que ha aprendido mucho durante los dos años que ha compartido vestuario con él. “Han sido un privilegio los dos años que he estado con él. Ver la reacción que tenía en los partidos que no marcaba, de estar enfadado o incluso el pensamiento de marcar. Los delanteros que lo tienen es de apreciar, es una de sus grandes virtudes“, concluyó.

Bojan Krkic believes that he can play anywhere across the front of Barcelona’s three-pronged attack after impressing on the flank in the club’s last game in America.

The young striker has had to learn to adapt to playing out wide, with competition for the lone central spot meaning that he has often been  overlooked.

But Krkic is not short on confidence and thinks that when coach Pep Guardiola asks him to play in a different position, he can do so equally well.

“I am capable of playing wherever I am needed,” he told Catalunya Radio.

“Now I have been here for two years and I have been through many things and I think that I am now prepared for anything.”

Despite being seen by many as an out-and-out goalscorer, Bojan has stated that he is fine playing out on the wing and looking to create chances for others.

“I have played several games out on the wing during my first season and in the youth teams,” he continued.

“Against Chivas I felt comfortable and believe that I had a good game and hope that the coach thinks that too.”

Goal

Having scored the first goal of the season, Bojan is hoping there will be many more to come.

Ahead of the new season, Bojan Krkic has spoken about his future, as well as the impending arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the exit of Samuel Eto’o.

Bojan did not play as much as he would have liked to last term, but he is looking forward to getting more opportunities this time around.

Speaking to Sport, he said, “Last year I did not get many chances, but this year the coach has said that he wants me to continue here.”

“I will continue to improve and learn.

Bojan then moved on to the striker swap about to take place between his club and Inter.

“Eto’o is a great player and he has always helped me, and I am very thankful.” he revealed.

“Ibrahimovic will be a great replacement,” he added.

“He has great skills and is very gifted physically.”

ENGLAND became the first team to book their place in the semi-finals, maintaining their 100% record with victory over Spain in Gothenburg.

The defeat leaves Spain needing a favour from their opponents last night when England face Germany in Halmstad on Monday, if they are to progress.

Spain, as always, looked comfortable in possession in midfield but struggled to put England under severe pressure throughout, relying on long range shots to test goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Campbell - found the net after coming off the bench.

Hart was called upon for the first time by his own team-mate early on. Nedum Onuoha, who plays alongside Hart with Manchester City as well as the national team, played a wayward back-pass that the goalkeeper did well to prevent crossing the line.

But England were starting to get a foothold on proceedings, and should have opened the scoring when awarded a penalty on 32 minutes. James Milner robbed Javi Garcia, before turning inside the Real Madrid defender and going down under a clumsy challenge.

Milner himself took the kick, but had his shot saved well down to his right by goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. Spain’s best effort of the match came soon after from FC Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic, who was only inches wide with a curling shot, but it remained goalless until the second half.

On 67 minutes, England took the lead through first-half substitute Fraizer Campbell. Campbell was only introduced by Stuart Pearce due to an injury to first choice striker Gabriel Agbonlahor but took his goal with great confidence, cutting inside Javi Garcia before drilling the ball low past Asenjo with his weaker left foot.

Six minutes later, England struck again through Milner, who made amends for his earlier penalty miss by finishing off an excellent move involving Theo Walcott. The Arsenal winger was an unexpected substitute but made a telling impact off the bench, getting to the byline and cutting the ball back for Milner to secure England’s place in the last four and leave Spain hanging by a thread.

Man of the match – Fabrice Muamba – Broke up play in midfield with strong tackling and impressive reading of the game.

Goals – Campbell 67, Milner 73

Attendance – 16,123

Det blev en engelsk seger. Jag är väldigt glad för det, men jag är fortfarande frusen efter att ha fått uppleva den svenska sommarkvällen. När jag pinnade på så snabbt jag kunde med mina isklumpar till ben blir jag inknuffad i en herre i grå kostym. Jag tittar upp, ursäktar mig snabbt och sekunden senare inser jag att det är förbundskapten Lars Lagerbäck jag krockat med.

“Ja, hörni. Nu får ni ta det lite lugnt här grabbar”, röt han till på ett lite för vänligt vis. För killarna ville bara ta foton tillsammans med honom efter det. Kvällens mäktigaste var ändå inte detta, utan då Theo Walcott blir inbytt, med stående ovationer som svar från publiken. Och återigen blev Bojan Krkic utbuad. Med all rätt. Kanske är kraven alldeles för höga, men han har varit dålig. Allsvenskandålig rent ut sagt.

Egentligen skulle det ha kommit ett par inlägg om meningen med livet, meningen med bloggen, meningen med allt och lite till. Men en liten papperslapp gav mig en självförtroendekick för ett litet slag och plötsligt försvann alla grubblerier. Känner jag mig själv rätt, så kommer nog inläggen ganska snart ändå.

Och ja. Jag sjöng faktiskt med i engelska nationalsången. Det kändes rätt.

Om spanjorerna nere i Sydafrika spelade ut sina motståndare såg det ut ungefär tvärtom. Hade jag betalat för biljetten hade jag velat ha pengarna tillbaka, för Bojan och hans vänner visste inte hur modern fotboll med offensiva löpningar kors och tvärs gick till. En tysk seger hade varit mer rättvis, men underligt nog verkade det som om båda lagen var ganska nöjda med oavgjort.

Som sagt. Hade det inte varit för att jag fått biljetten i egenskap av volontär hade jag varit riktigt arg på dem.

Andreas Beck. Han blir stor tror jag. Det har synts redan på Tysklands träningar, och han var pigg offensivt i kvällens match. Heja.

I morgon måste jag skynda mig så in i helvete (och helst förbi) för att hinna hem och se Sverige – Vitryssland på teve efter jobbet. Men det löser sig. Är galet spänd på vad det är U21-laget kan göra. Kan bli hur roligt som helst.

The only player based outside of Spain is Newcastle striker Xisco.

Spain will play all of their Group B games against England, Finland and Germany at the Gamla Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg.

Thất bại trên sân Mallorca hoàn toàn có thể lý giải được, vì ngoài thực tế đã hết mục tiêu để phấn đấu tại Tây Ban Nha, đội bóng xứ Catalan còn phải bảo toàn lực lượng cho chung kết Champions League.

Các cầu thủ Mallorca dàn thành hai hàng, vỗ tay chào đón nhà tân vô địch Liga, được dẫn đầu bởi thủ quân Samuel Eto’o.

Sau trận Real thua Villarreal tối thứ bảy, Barca trở thành nhà vô địch Liga mà không cần ra sân. Chính vì lý do đặc biệt này, ông thầy Pep Guardiola chỉ sử dụng đội hình gồm phần lớn các cầu thủ dự bị khi làm khách tại Mallorca.

Tiền đạo Samuel Eto’o (còn theo đuổi mục tiêu lên ngôi vua phá lưới), hậu vệ Dani Alves và Eric Abidal (sẽ không dự chung kết Champions League do bị treo giò) là ba cầu thủ thường xuyên đá chính xuất hiện, còn lại gồm những thành viên ít khi ra sân như Martin Caceres, Eidur Gudjohnsen…

Chơi với đội hình dự bị nhưng ở phút thứ 10, Barca vẫn ghi được bàn thắng trước. Eto’o đón quả tạt của Bojan Krkic, đánh đầu đưa bóng chạm mép dưới xà rồi chui vào lưới.

Đây là bàn thứ 29 của tiền đạo người Cameroon ở mùa giải 2008-2009, trao cho anh cơ hội trở thành chân sút đầu tiên ghi được ít nhất 30 bàn tại Liga kể từ khi Ronaldo ghi 34 bàn cho Barca trong mùa giải 1996-1997. Đáng chú ý, Mallorca cũng chính là nơi Eto’o khẳng định tên tuổi, trước khi gia nhập Barca năm 2004.

Sang hiệp hai, nỗ lực của đội chủ nhà bất ngờ được đền đáp trong một khoảng thời gian ngắn ngủi. Phút 73, Arango gỡ hòa bằng một pha sút phạt trực tiếp. Phút 78, Santana đánh đầu chuẩn xác, ấn định chiến thắng 2-1.

Barca có một cơ hội tốt để gỡ 1 điểm nhưng bị Eto’o bỏ lỡ khi sút hỏng quả phạt đền ở phút 90. Dẫu vậy, thất bại không làm sứt mẻ niềm vui vô địch của Barca.

Đội hình thi đấu:

Mallorca: Moyà; Martí, Josemi, Ramis, Ayoze; Jurado (Webó, 85′), Mario Suárez, Cléber Santana, Arango; Keita (Varela, 60′), Aduriz (Trejo, 91′).

Barcelona: Olazábal; Dani Alves; Abidal, Martín Cáceres, Sylvinho; Gudjohnsen (Thiago, 74′), Xavi Torres, Hleb; Pedro (Jeffren, 83′), Eto’o, Bojan Krkic.

Luar biasa Barcelona! Pagi dini hari Barcelona berhasil meremukkan rival abadinya Real Madrid 6-2. Hebatnya lagi kemenangan ini diraih di kandang Madrid.

Di laga yang dihelat Minggu (3/5/2009) dinihari WIB itu, Madrid memulai pertandingan dengan baik ketika Gonzalo Higuain membuka skor di menit 13. Mendapat umpan silang dari Sergio Ramos, tandukan Higuain yang tak terjaga melesak masuk gawang Victor Valdes.

Akan tetapi keunggulan itu hanya berusia empat menit. Bola dari Lionel Messi tak bisa dihadang Ramos dan menjangkau Thierry Henry. Dengan tenang, penyerang Prancis itu menaklukkan Iker Casillas untuk menjadikan skor 1-1.

Berselang dua menit, Barca berbalik unggul. Dari tendangan bebas Xavi Hernandez, bola ditanduk Carlos Puyol yang berdiri bebas. Bola tidak bisa ditahan Casillas dan Barca memimpin 2-1.

Menit 21, Madrid mendapat dua kans beruntun. Pertama, tendangan jarak dekat Arjen Robben ditahan dengan kaki oleh Valdes dan yang kedua umpan silang Higuain nyaris membuat Dani Alves mencetak gol bunuh diri.

Casillas menyelamatkan Madrid di menit 23. Mendapat umpan terobosan dari Alves, Messi menggiring bola dan menendang ke arah gawang Madrid; Casillas dengan tangkas menepis bola keluar.

Madrid harus berterimakasih kepada Casillas di menit 26. Kiriman umpan dari Xavi kepada Samuel Eto’o dilanjutkan dengan tendangan keras kaki kanan. Dengan sigap, kembali Casillas memblok bola menjauhi gawang.

Dua menit kemudian, kerjasama satu dua Messi dengan Andres Iniesta diakhiri dengan sontekan ringan Messi yang masih bisa ditahan Casillas dengan kakinya. Gawang Los Blancos selamat lagi.

Menit 32, sebuah upaya ambisius dilakukan Messi. Menguasai bola di sisi kiri kotak penalti Madrid, penyerang asal Argentina itu mencungkil bola ke tiang jauh tetapi Casillas lagi-lagi menyelamatkan gawang dengan tangannya.

Messi akhirnya berhasil mencetak gol di menit 35. Berawal dari kesalahan Lassana Diarra, bola direbut Xavi dan diumpankan kepada Messi. Dengan tenang, Messi menyontek bola dengan kaki kiri dan gol. 3-1 bagi Barca.

Casillas benar-benar tampil luar biasa kali ini. Di menit terakhir babak pertama, sebuah tendangan bebas melengkung dari Alves berhasil ditepis Casillas yang bergerak menjatuhkan badan ke kiri.

Babak pertama pun diakhiri masih dengan skor 3-1 untuk keunggulan Barcelona.

Di babak kedua, Madrid memperlihatkan perbaikan dalam permainan. Tetapi itu tidak cukup untuk meredam keganasan Barca. 

Pertandingan berusia 53 menit ketika Barca lagi-lagi mengancam. Menggiring bola sendirian di sayap kanan, Messi mencoba mengakhirinya dengan tendangan kaki kanan yang hanya melintas di mulut gawang Casillas.

Madrid menggigit balik pada menit 55. Dari tendangan bebas Arjen Robben, Ramos berhasil menanduk bola dengan bebas untuk menjebol gawang Valdes. Bagaimanapun, Barca masih unggul 3-2.

Hanya sampai di situ perlawanan Madrid karena dua menti kemudian, Barca menjadikan skor 4-2 melalui Henry. Mendapat umpan terobosan dari Xavi, Henry mengecoh Casillas yang menerjang maju dan dengan satu sontekan menjebol gawang Madrid.

Menit 74, Barca mencetak gol kelimanya. Menerima umpan terobosan dari Xavi, Messi menggiring bola masuk kotak penalti Madrid. Dengan tenang dan sekali kecoh, penyerang mungil itu merobek gawang Casillas dan menjadikan skor 5-2.

Delapan menit menjelang bubar, Madrid kian remuk. Bermula dari umpan silang Eto’o yang tidak bisa disambut Gerard Pique. Bola muntah direbut Pique lagi dan disodoknya bola masuk gawang dengan kaki kanan. Madrid 2, Barca 6!

Barca berkesempatan menjadikan skor 7-2 di menit 87. Bojan Krkic yang menguasai bola di sayap kanan melepas bola silang yang disontek Messi tetapi arah bola melebar di kanan gawang Casillas.

Saat wasit meniup peluit panjang tanda berakhirnya pertandingan, skor akhir berkata Barcelona menjungkalkan Madrid dengan skor telak, 6-2. (detik.com)

Hasil ini mengukuhkan Barcelona sebagai pemuncak klasemen dengan poin 85 atau 7 poin lebih tinggi dari Real Madrid. Dengan demikian Barca cukup memenangkan satu pertandingan lagi dari 4 laga sisa untuk menjadi juara La Liga.

Fernando Torres has found a very good friend on Merseyside. Pepe Reina, whose origins also lie in Madrid, has played alongside, and against the striker. The goalkeeper faced Torres whilst playing for Barcelona and Villarreal, and apart from this season, the two have defended the same colours for the Spanish national team. The two Spaniards, who both get on like a house on fire, enjoy a ‘tête-à-tête’ in the most relaxed of fashions…

P. Reina: Fernando, didn’t we first meet with the Spanish Under 21s?

F. Torres: Yes, because I did not see you playing for the Under 18s, weren’t you good enough? (laughter)

PR: No, genius, when you were playing for the Under 18s, I was already with the Under 21s! (more laughter)

FT: I joined up with them a couple of years later…

PR: I played alongside Aranzubia, Yeste, Colsa, Orbaiz, Coira… I was there for four years, and I spent two of them with you. By then though you had already played with Atletico Madrid’s first team and people were talking about you quite a lot. You stood out, and it was plain for all to see that you were going to make it big. Just look at you now!

FT: I remember that you were with the U21s, and that you were the captain. I was new, and I looked up to the more veteran players like yourself.

PR: I never really got to know you properly until you joined Liverpool. You were quite shy and you never really raised your voice. But after spending more time with you I soon saw that you are actually quite different from what I first perceived. You give everything to those close to you, and you are not at all shy.

FT: You always get to know somebody better playing alongside them in club football than with the national team. The players do not normally spend a lot of time together when they are with their country, and when you there, you end up spending more time with the players from your own club. It is only when you are at a club side, you get to know those around you more, but then again, sometimes even that does not work.

PR: In today’s game there are a lot of players from a lot of different places, and it is not easy to make friends.

FT: You have got a good point there. Say we had met a club in Spain, we might never have got to know each other well. We might have already had friends at the club, and therefore would have spent more time with them. Here though everything is different, you are in a new country and you look for support from those like you. After that first step, if you both get on, all goes swimmingly.

PR: We are two Spaniards abroad and are lucky to live just 50 metres apart. I was also fortunate to have Fernando Morientes nearby, and Abelardo helped me out a lot at Barcelona. He made life a lot easier for me, and that is exactly what I try to do for others when they come here. With you, it has been quite easy.

FT: Cheers Pepe (laughter). When you arrive at a new place you have a lot to learn, especially if it is a different country, currency, climate, and where you have to find a place to live. You have to adapt to the change if you want to feel at home. You have been here to help me with everything, and the results are there for everyone to see out on the pitch. It is much appreciated when you only have to concentrate on playing football. Here they expect a lot from a player and you are obliged to go out and win every weekend, and you cannot waste time or energy looking for a house and trying to adapt to everything.

PR: You have also done your part to settle in. Some people do not let others help them out, and if both parties do not give and take, it is impossible that things will work out for the good. With you, it has been really easy.

FT: I have always believed that you must give and take. Upon arriving at a new place you must want to learn and also be ready to listen to advice. At Liverpool, we all want the same. We all help one another and give our best to reach our goals. It is a very professional working environment here.

PR: It has also helped that we share the same interests.

FT: Yes, we both like to spend time at home, watching matches, films and TV in general…

PR: We don’t like the same genre of films though. If it is not based on real life or if the story line is not very believable, then you are not much of a fan.

FT: I only enjoy fact based films, or films that could happen in real life. You for example do not like video games, preferring to play golf or tennis. You play the odd car game, but that is about it. Thank God that Arteta comes by once in a while to play… and he is actually quite good!

PR: So, you like fact based stories… what about the story that you started playing football in goal? (laughter)

FT: And? (more laughter)

PR: Nothing… Though I have to say that I was not always a goalkeeper. Normally when you are a kid you enjoy kicking the ball about and scoring goals. But as time passes, the less skill you have, the further you played away from the forward line…and I ended up in the other goal! It is also in my genes though, as my dad was a goalkeeper. It was almost inevitable that I become a shot stopper.

FT: I wanted to be a keeper, just like my brother, but I ended up playing up front. I would have been a great keeper though.

PR: Are you sure? We have to give you a try out. I want to know who would be the best keeper just in the case an outfield player has to go between the sticks. Both Xabi Alonso and Riise are great in goal. If you want, we can give it a shot…

FT: I wait impatiently…

PR: You never know, if your goalscoring is anything to go by! Fernando, not even the most optimistic of people would have said that you would score more than 30 goals this season. The first year abroad is hard, and in a league like the English Premiership, more than 30 strikes is more than could ever have been expected.

FT: I was really looking forward to coming here. It was a challenge and I knew that a lot would be expected from me. Luckily, everything has worked out well from day one, and my team-mates have helped out, and I owe you all an awful lot.

PR: Here they want 100% effort, and the fans are more important than the results. They want you to give your all as soon as you step out on to the pitch wearing the Liverpool shirt; and if you win, then even better. But even if the result does not go the team’s way, come the 90th minute, the fans can be heard singing ‘You’ll never walk alone’.

FT: The supporters back the players, regardless of who is out on the pitch. They enjoy watching their key players play, because Liverpool has great players, but Liverpool will always be a team. The fans get behind the side even when things are not working out, and they are always there until the death. That is the major difference with football back in Spain. If a team is not doing well, then it is because the players do not deserve to be wearing the club’s colours. At Liverpool, if a player is wearing their shirt, it is because he deserves it. The fans ask for effort and dedication, and their support is something special, something that stays with you.

PR: It is a different way of understanding the game. Both should be respected, but if I had to choose, it would be the way they do things here in England.

FT: Life is also different when you are not playing football. Whether you are shopping or having dinner, you have no worries. People respect you.

PR: Remember once when we were having dinner at a restaurant and this girl kept looking over? She never said a word, but when we left like an hour and a half later, she was waiting outside in the cold with a shirt for us to sign! There is a lot of respect here.

FT: It helps if you are able to enjoy your time away from football, because when it comes to playing, you are a lot less tense. Fans ask you for things, but always in a well-mannered way. They never interrupt you or make you feel ill at ease, and that is worth its weight in gold.

PR: Talking about going out, we have that trip to a bowling alley on standby…

FT: You’re right! But we always end up just staying in. When we have people over, we normally go out and about, but we normally just stick around the house… and have a barbeque.

PR: Yes, six degrees outside, and a barbeque in the back garden! Never seen anything like it before!

FT: I remember one day the sun was shining, so we decided to have a barbeque… and it ended up snowing. We took photos of the grill covered in snow!

PR: The weather is a bit temperamental.

FT: But when things get bad, we get the board games out.

PR: Yes, boys against girls. We cheat a lot more than they do, and I think its more obvious that we do. (laughter)

FT: Yes (more laughter). At the moment it is 1-1. Things are quite close, and if needed, there has to be some cheating. We have had some great battles!

PR: The truth is that you are pretty well behaved! …at home, and with the team.

FT: I try to stay to one side so I don’t put my foot in it! But I have a funny story from when we were in Hong Kong. When you arrive, you realise that you basically have no clue when it comes to the language, but after the first week you think that you can get by. When we arrived at Hong Kong, the manager gave us a brief team talk in the restaurant of the hotel to tell us the day’s schedule.

PR: You did not understand a thing! I asked you what he said, and you told me that the luggage had been lost and training had been cancelled! No clue!

FT: Yes, that it when I realised I had a long way to go. But I actually thought that the boss had said exactly that, but what he really said was that first we had training, followed by a rest; then lunch and down to pick-up our gear. Thank God that you were there, otherwise I would have overslept!

PR: You have settled in well though, even though you have a dodgy taste in films… (laughter) We could watch films and television series together, but you have no taste. Although everyone is entitled to choose what they want to watch.

PR: I have to say that you are a great bloke and a good friend, someone who is really open. You might come across at first as a bit stand-offish, but that could not be further away from the truth. You are friendly and a bit of a joker.

FT: Well, you are a real cheat, and the worst part, is that it is really easy to spot (laughter). Unlike me, you show your emotions. You are the first player to get behind the players, and you are full of positive energy and you know how to transmit it. I remember when Adebayor equalized against us in the Champions League quarter-finals and you were quick to pick-up Skertl and encourage him to get on with the game. There are no a lot of people around like that, it is something you cannot train. When they scored, I felt like I had been shot.

PR: We might be a bit different when it comes to that aspect, but we share the same values and way of thinking, which is why we get on so well. I always try to feel positive, to be in a good mood, and to build a positive environment around me. My dad was the person who taught me to be this way. Sometimes in this sport, that is what you have to hang onto, the good times and the stories you share with others. Life here is really good, the only thing you miss is a little bit more sun.

FT: I don’t actually miss the weather, though I do miss a little being around my friends and family. But they are nearly always over so the distance seems far less. At the end of the day, it is only two hours by plane.

PR: You’re right. On footballing nights like the Champions League tie versus Arsenal at Anfield, you would have liked to have had more people over to celebrate. PR: Just out of interest, does the Intertoto defeat against us at the Vicente Calderon Stadium still hurt!?

FT: We lost 2-0 in Villarreal, won 2-0 at home, but went out in the penalty shoot-out.

PR: I did my job well that day! We were losing 2-0 in the return-leg in Madrid, you were playing a blinder and the referee blew for a penalty after you were brought down in the box. Whilst you were down, I pressured the referee to call on the team doctor to attend you. You had to leave the pitch and weren’t allowed back on to take the spot-kick!

FT: See! What a cheat you are! (laughter)

PR: Our friend Jorge Larena stepped-up, but I saved his penalty. We then went on to win in the penalty shoot-out.

FT: I did not even get to take a penalty in the shoot-out. I was fifth in line, but the funny thing was, so were you!

PR: We were lucky that day!

FT: Definitely, because I have put quite a few past you. But I hope we will also be lucky together and win silverware for Liverpool.
