Who's Ready for Some Silverware
Friday, 25 July 08, 01:51 PM
Now ironically, the two players seen above are no longer with the squad, however I witnessed a Barcelona team today that competes with the glory days of 04/05. Yes we only played Hibernian, and yes it was not the most competitive match of all time. But the most encouraging thing I saw tonight was the player's ability to read each other, and to understand what one another were thinking. Watching Messi work with Alves to score Gudjohnsen's second goal was magnificent, staging a goal of the classic Barca style. The 6-0 win was convincing and hopefully is that start to a bright new era.
Some players that deserve highlighting would have to be Pique, Messi, Alves, and Toure. Yaya did an exceptional job of holding the midfield, and I think his presence, along with Ketia's, will eliminate the bullying around of smaller players such as Iniesta and Xavi. Messi was brilliant as usual. His humble play, mixed with his hunger for goals shined and brought an immediate smile to my face. Pique and Caceres both looked comfortable in the back and I'm sure the 4-0 lead after 26 minutes didn't hurt.
The players wore jersey's between 1-11 for the classic style of numbering based on who is playing, which is why Messi wor 10, Henry 9, and Bojan 16, and Pique wore Milito's 3. I sincerely believe this team is re-vamped and ready to take on the world. I know I am.
