Probably Pep Guardiola's true master was to know when to keep. Seeing FC Barcelona today, a shadow of the team that has been on top of the world for most of the last four years while most of the workers is the sameA-or maybe just because of thatAAA-you begin to believe that former BarAa mentor knew something that the rest of us didn't, and still do not, but is able to see the effects on the area. If the Blaugrana were smashing Neymar's Santos 4-0 in the ultimate of the FIFA Club World Cup a bit more when compared to a year straight back and were called the maximum team ever nobody believed that 6 months later Pep would be gone. But Guardiola left, because he saw something he did not like, something he thought he could not resolve to extend the great function for a few more years. He prevented, remember?, so long as he might making a decision, probably hoping to ab muscles end to locate a answer. Pep liked BarAa. Still, he left, and we wondered, we still do, why? For a while everything went good under Tito Vilanova, Pep's successor. BarAa had the best begin in the history of La Liga, winning 18 of its first 19 games, with a pull, Messi continued his wonderful scoring rate, and with 13 games left the Catalans, 12 points forward of Atletico Madrid and 16 in-front of Real Madrid, can't lose the name, baring an of unprecedented, cosmic dimensions. But judging by how BarAa appeared in two key games played within the last week, the 2-0 reduction to Milan in the UEFA Champions League, and the 3-1 humiliation by Real Madrid at the Camp Nou in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, no lead is safe. BarAa is in crisis. Some thing must change. Even throughout the great category work there have been signs that the team is not really that great. The defense is suspect, it has helped at least one purpose within the last few 12 games, and undisciplined. The goalkeeper, Valdes (no Zamora, for sure) desires to leave; he needs to have been dumped in January. His replacement, Pinto, is 38 and no one can tell why he's on the roster. The proper back, Alves, "doesn't do" safety, it is below him. He is never in the body once the other team scores. PiquA walks aimlessly all over the area, thinking, or thinking he's a center forward. Leader Puyol is getting old. He has lots of nature and little else. Mascherano is not a key defense, despite his good intentions. Often he scares Valdes up to other enemies. Left back Alba has been a great addition to the staff, not necessarily to the security. But BarAa has never been about safety. They only scored a lot more than another staff. The technological wizardry and perspective of its ball controllers, Iniesta, Xavi and Messi, has been the choice of this team and has defined BarAa's play-ball control and advancement through quick, repeated passes-resulting in many scoring opportunities. While Messi's score hunger and his special skill have made him the natural head, and the natural top scorer, in the last couple of years an alteration, nearly simple, has occurred. The initial story, "BarAa is great, BarAa could be the greatest" is becoming "Messi must score, Messi must set another file, and another one." From the team, the eye has switched to Messi. Perhaps the fantastic competition BarAa versus. True Madrid has been changed right into a Messi compared to. Cristiano Ronaldo individual competition. It is not clear if Messi wanted dictatorial powers or if the role was bestowed upon him, but when Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Alba, Alves and most everybody else have "Messi must score" at heart, the team's performance is affected adversely. Yes, Messi appeared as the savior in many games, but because the team played for Messi to function as the savior that's. BarAa is not the very best staff when Messi ratings 37 targets in 25 group games and all the other players have 42 mixed. When Messi is annihilated, BarAa is paralyzed. Good opposite instructors like Allegri and Mourinho have found out how exactly to stop and irritate Messi. Stopping Messi means preventing BarAa, since people like Pedro and Fabregas have grown to be almost unnecessary, they can't dominate a game title, they can't even get past an opponent in dribbling, one-on-one. Injury has slowed Xavi, who is not the player he was 6 months before. Iniesta does not have Messi's killer instinct. Property has been ostracized, probably because he did not choose the "all-for-Messi plan," kid Tello represents less than under Pep, and Alexis has been a break. Genuinely believe that Messi can use a like IbrahimoviA now? Hopefully BarAa can get Neymar (alongside a defenders), but what the team needs right now is a instructor. Vilanova has been doing Nyc since early January getting treatment for a repeated parotid gland cancer. His associate Jordi Roura isn't really a instructor that may prepare the group for a game against Real or Milan. It'd have been enough to say: "Hey, we tied 1-1 in Madrid, we are ahead. They must report first, they must attack. Alves, PiquA, Busquets, keep straight back and keep an eye on # 7. Iniesta, only keep carefully the ball for 90 minutes at midfield. We all hope since a team have been coached by nobody to significant trophies via the web, Tito gets well quickly. You can give orders, good or bad, but you can't have the heart of the group. And at this time BarAa's heartbeat is practically a set line. Vladimir Moraru played basketball for 15 years and has seen it for 60. He's not seen a new player like Messi and a staff like Hamilton Academical Barcelona.
