El Clasico

Barcelona and Real Madrid will go back fighting on Wednesday or Thursday (26/01/2012).Game times will be held at the Camp Nou and will determine which teams qualify for the Copa del Rey semifinals. In this party, Barcelona is more favored because of successful membekuk Madrid 2-1 in the first leg. However, this “El Clasico”. Like most bubuyutan match between two enemies, each player will attempt to show the best. Given the material players of both camps, the end result can be determined by individual quality.

Columnist Bleacherreport, Anurag Bhatt, summarizes the five actions that will determine the duel “El Clasico” later.

1. Xavi Hernandes Vs Xabi Alonso
The main battle in the control of the ball will occur between the two best players who have tremendous feedback on the Spanish national team between Xavi against Xabi. Xavi will play an important role in the normal execution of Barcelona as a distributor of the ball.While Xabi Alonso will try to win the fight ball in midfield and began the attack by releasing a long pass. It has become common rahsia that Xavi is the key to playing on “El Barca”.He is a regulator of most of the Barcelona attack. If unable to stop Xavi Alonso, Real Madrid has a good chance of beating Barcelona.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo Vs Dani Alves
The most interesting stories of any “El Clasico” is a fierce battle between right-wing and left wing Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Ronaldo and Alves had the same physical strength, speed, and agility. Coach “El Real” Jose Mourinho is usually put Ronaldo on the left wing on each “El Clasico”. The Portuguese attacker was able to break through from the left side with a powerful right foot. He can also create hassles Alves for 90 minutes. From the analysis of El Clasico tactics over the years shows that when Ronaldo plays on the left wing, Alves played more into the action as an effort to reduce dangerous Ronaldo. One of the steps taken by freeing Alves,  Pep Guardiola as right-back Carles Puyol and alternately with plot Sergio Busquets back as a central defender.

3. Mesut Oezil Vs Sergio Busquets
Sergio Busquets is often a key player in “El Clasico“. He is a midfielder who always left free by Real Madrid to allow him to get the ball and dictate the game from a position of relatively undisturbed. Coach Jose Mourinho can prevent this by pressing Busquets instruct Mesut Ozil. Oezil not appear on the first leg because Real Madrid plot Xabi Alonso, Lassana Diarra and Pepe. Pepe played destroy Barca game. Because this tactic considered to have failed, Mourinho was forced to play more attacking at the Nou Camp.That way, the Portuguese coach is likely to play a Oezil. Oezil will play further forward and interfere with Busquets, Busquets had the ball every time. If Ozil does not appear as a starter, likely Mourinho will start the game by playing the Ricardo Kaka.

4. Lionel Messi vs Lassana Diarra or Pepe
Pepe’s participation in the match a little doubtful after Jose Mourinho said he would play when the Portuguese defender in a state fit. Lassana Diarra was also lightly injured and can not dipredikisi who will appear as a defensive midfielder. Any one of the two players who displayed Mourinho, will get the job done to prevent Messi in action. This duel will menuntukan because closing movement pentu Messi often be a factor against Barcelona.The Argentine is so deadly when you get a little space, he will bring disaster for the opposing team. Stopping Messi certainly not going to stop Barcelona. However, at least it reduces the strength of Barcelona.

5. Pep Guardiola Vs Jose Mourinho
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho is a great manager. The match between the two teams is usually a valuable lesson for other coaches. Mourinho melakoni this match with a dilemma. He knew that Real Madrid have to attack and scored at least two goals to qualify for the semifinals. He also knew his team was under tremendous pressure from all media-related cases conducted Pepe penginjakan hand to Lionel Messi in the first leg. Guardiola has shown great resilience in the way in which he has made his team adapt to the tactics of the game Mourinho after the match. He should read Mourinho’s tactics and have an effective plan to maintain the advantage. Both coaches have extraordinary tactics in the era of modern football and the match will surely show us some tactical steps that are most likely not imagined before.
