Sevilla goalkeeper stopped a penalty Barca striker in stoppage time
Javi Varas humanized Leo Messi last night after unhinge Barca. Sevilla goalkeeper saved a penalty will Barca to ten when playing the first minute of the three extension enacted by Iturralde. Penalty was one of the longest in the history of the tournament, which sparked the brawl and the outcome, they will be talking about, because Seville was reluctant to see lack of Fazio on Iniesta and it is difficult to fail the Flea, except when in front is Javi Varas.
You could sum up better the match in the penalty, blameless and were recognizable as both teams attacking and defending Barcelona Sevilla. On one side of the goalkeeper and the other striker, reduced shock heads-up. To some extent Andalusian excitement was understandable, more than his pride and prayed his sheepskin, because they escaped a tie and a half hours earned in solidarity. More reprehensible was his anger and how to entangle four minutes before Messi pulled. The Flea, in any case hardly be decentralized. The landscape looked in handy to break open the Argentine goal Sevilla. It was the best of sentences that you can order an offensive team for a very close rival. The best scenario for a goalkeeper.
The figure of Javi Varas became gigantic in the same way that dwarfed that of Messi. Goalkeeper legend enlarged his coast´s most famous player in the world. He stopped halfway up the shot, set the left post of the goal, only available to a hero as Javi Varas. A Barca of no use 15 shots on goal, five and five also Iniesta Messi.
Winks football are that amazing and left Barca the lead at the Nou Camp with the visit of Sevilla after missing a penalty in the last minute. Unexpected news if we look at the play, the place, the rival and at the time, painting a day that seemed worse for Madrid. It happened that Sevilla tied to the boat after a great defensive exercise, by strict and neat, estimable if it serves the framework and the means available to Guardiola. Marcelino tactical work was as flawless as the performance of Javi Varas. Wherever the board did not the technician, he reached the Sevilla goalkeeper, quick feet and hands, intuitive, better run now than Messi. Although he was given a thousand times around the race, the Blaugrana were left dry for once after having 21 goals at the Camp Nou since the start of the league. Statistics also ensured that both teams were undefeated, and still do not lose, and they have only conceded four goals, and remain the same.
It is easy to attack a defense of Marcelino, always well placed and better work, also that of Seville. It did not help the Camp Nou turf irregular. And did you talk Guardiola alignment. Barca played with a defense of three, apparently a risk against an opponent who specializes in transitions, and attacked with Adriano at the right end, a surprise in a multi-player training indoors, especially on the pass filtering as Thiago, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. The formula did not work because it demands speed and aggressiveness, transmitter-receiver synchronization, accuracy. The success or failure depends on an inch or tenth of a second, and Sevilla defender refine the front of the club.
The boys did not grant Marcelino stretched spaces and would dramatically and selectively. Valdes got two balls and Javi Varas complicated exercised over free doorman, attentive to the exits with their feet, especially before the arrival of Iniesta. After the half hour, the party demanded by Barça a gear change or a new plan. Barcelona fans had been strangled. Guardiola opted to attack then in the opposite direction, outside and not inside, so Adriano moved to left back and Messi opened to the right.
From Orthodoxy, Barca best hooked to the field, gathered around the ball more and neutralized the output of Sevilla, impeccable in its zone defense, always safeguarded by Javi Varas. Barca were loading their attack, now with Pedro and then with Cesc, always persevering in their football association. Neither the shot nor the middle-distance solo run part of the style book. Have always preferred the game grow and persevere in their game, even against a defense like organization and implementation of the Seville. Unflagging in his efforts, Barca found in the penultimate arrival, so that was denied during the game: Iniesta hooked Fazio, witty and creative, and forced a penalty which Messi needed to regain his aura. Javi Varas, however, drew a phenomenal stop, off a sublime performance as well as to humanize the infallible Messi last night.
