The world number one was scheduled to play the tournament in the UAE but contracted the virus last week and is not fit enough to play.

An arbitrator’s past mistakes kilos and leftover

In the end, someone must have heard Drogba when, beside himself, he remembered the family tree of the referee at the end of this Chelsea-Barça. In Spain, all we are left with Iniesta’s goal, with the start of Barcelona’s triumphant journey to the triplet Guardiola, first, and the sextet, later. Drogba cried at the end of that game that the Blues had cheated them four penalties during the game. Four.

Who whistled that day? Tom Henning Ovrebo, a recent Norwegian peer of those whose image should command respect, if not for his performance leaves much to be desired. Someone should do that day if Drogba instead of suspended for four matches. If any capitoste UEFA had listened we would have saved the embarrassment of last Wednesday at the Allianz of Munich. But they preferred to overlook it.

The truth is that Chelsea’s Ivorian temperamental point was to warn the braid-aloud, it is true, what would come next. Ultimately, Drogba warned us all. It was only a matter of time before the Norwegian referee to do it again.

Henning, very old-kilos, was found Wednesday by the Bavarian capital with its referees with more than 15 years behind internationalism. The Norwegian is not just anyone, has been elected five times better arbiter of his country has blown two finals in the Norway Cup, he has participated in a European Championship and was named by UEFA Champions League semi-final for that.

Henning, with his experience and background should be an arbiter of security. But it is not. The League of his country stands by winter and he has controlled his diet. In the Euro 2008 only managed two games before that UEFA had ordered him home after a bad performance in a decisive Italy-Romania, nullifying a goal for the Azzurri legal.

Henning knows from small, when we entered the referee courses, instructors tell us that it’s best we go unnoticed. And if that is impossible, at least nobody can say, at the end of a meeting, we have favored either team. And hell, despite having made a disastrous arbitration Wednesday in Munich, Fiorentina could not accuse him of having manipulated the results thoroughly.

And that, paradoxically, is what makes the most guilty Norwegian. So bad was that it was wrong at all. In none of the plays in which he was required to take a momentous decision was correct.

When pitas that bad, you get to dress blowing and you feel so fucked up on your bench and you can not blame anyone. If the linesman scored the expulsion was not, for that you were, you should consider if the party needed such as red or you could fix with a yellow card. If the same linesman raised his flag not you before Klose illegal position in the decisive goal, as for that too were you, when you first began to whistle in regional and attendees did not have you should learn to intuit offsides.

There you are. On the sidelines of the costumes of the Allianz Arena in Munich, sitting, and reviewing what you did wrong. What you’ve done wrong.

Pep Guardiola said – Barca can not win the Champions League now

Pep Guardiola has already said: it begins the moment of truth. Barca can not win the Champions League now, but you can lose it. Any misstep can be very expensive. Expensive. So sure, decided to include in his call for two struts like Xavi and Alves, although neither has the medical discharge. Although not play, the most plausible, like, sure, that your computer back to be a pineapple. Even no hesitation in taking the whip to correct a course that considers erratic. The last two matches have not liked. And the last, against Racing, in its view, does not save nor convincing 4-0. Johan Cruyff’s warnings reaffirm its opinion. He listens. And think apply to recover the best Barça.

“We realize that with the level of the last two games, we can not reach or rooms. We have to attack and do well, and play very little driving. There are games that are not quite fine, even if you win by 4-0, “said Barca coach. But Guardiola is not afraid pulse. “I know what to do. For a year, there are games like this, and very well solve 4-0. A team, to be admired, you have to play well. Some are content with just winning. I, as coach, no,” said.

It is no reproach. He does not like doing these things in public. Just a warning shot. In order to wake up. “As only ask them to strive, and they always do, I have won. Everything else I forgive you,” said Guardiola, particularly concerned not to follow a tradition disastrous for European champions. “In recent years, all but the Manchester, have fallen into eighths. Go through the false bias of being the defending champion. The tie against Olympique last year, must be a lesson. It was the hardest of all “he said. It has very clear, also, the tie will be decided within 15 days, at the Camp Nou. Sure. “Part of my job is not to be seen easily,” harangued.

Germany, after all, is fertile ground for the Blaugrana. Barça have not lost a match in Germanic lands since the 2001-2002 season, with Charly Rexach on the bench, when he fell on his visit to Bayer Leverkusen in the minimum (2-1), but still reached the quarter-finals. The last set was able apearlo Bayern Munich, who beat both home and away (1-0 and 1-2) in the 1998-1999 season, in a group they shared with Manchester United. The Bavarians and the British played the final round, held at the Camp Nou in 1999, with unexpected favorable outcome for the Red Devils.

Also positive was the last visit to Stuttgart. Two seasons ago, in the group stage, Barcelona won 0-2, although Mario Gomez, a giant such as FC Barcelona striker admitted, was hard with little success in her life miserable the whole time that coach Frank Rijkaard . The lace came from a Leo Messi who is given especially good play in Germany. In his first game in the Champions League in 2005 against Werder Bremen, forced the penalty for 0-2 and a year later, scored the equalizer against the same opponents in a game marked by the serious injury of Eto ‘ o.

Last season, Messi was top scorer in the competition with nine goals. Today their numbers are much more discreet. He has only scored twice in the five games he has played. He wants more. And the same goes for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has only a little like Barca in the Champions League defeat at home against Rubin Kazan 1-2 in the league. On Saturday, Guardiola decided to reserve it by discomfort in his right ankle. The striker trained with no apparent difficulties and even hard shot on goal with his right foot. This evening you have an appointment with the goal. He hopes not to miss it.
