Barcelona will try to win their first trophy of the season beating their
closest rival Real Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Supercup, on
Wednesday, 17th August, 2011 at 21:00 GMT, which you will be able to
watch it on live stream online for free on this website MANCHELIVARSE.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid will be available a few minutes before
kick-off, through the best channels of Internet. The Spanish Supercup is
disputed between the winner of La Liga BBVA (Barcelona) and the winner
of Copa del Rey (Real Madrid). Therefore, Pep Guardiola has called all
his players, including new summer signings Alexis Sanchez from Udinese
and Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal to face Jose Mourinho's side.
However, the major drawback of The Blaugranas is the few games that have
played his squad. Gerard Pique and Xavi Hernandez returned to play on
Sunday in the Bernabeu match after recovering from injuries suffered
with Spain during the 2-1 defeat to Italy. Sergio Busquets is poised to
return in the midfield replacing Seydou Keita, who performed well in the
first-leg while Puyol remains sidelined and is recovering from a knee
surgery done in June. Maybe, the only doubt of Guardiola is the
right-flank in attack. Who should be in the starting XI? Alexis Sanchez
(38 millions euros transfer) or Pedro Rodriguez? On the other hand, Cesc
Fábregas could make his debut with his loved club. The former Arsenal
captain completed his transfer on last Sunday and was introduced to the
press in an official form on Monday as new Barcelona player, and
therefore, he can play tomorrow night against Real Madrid.
One advantage of the new additions to the Catalan club is the more
flexibility and versatility of which Guardiola will dispose to form his
squad. The traditional 4-3-3 could be transformed in a 4-4-2 with
Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc in the midfield while Villa and Messi
in the attack or even in a 3-4-3 with Alves, Pique and Abidal in the
defence, Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc in the midfield whilst Messi,
Villa and Pedro (Sanchez) in the attack. This form would become
Barcelona in an invencible team! Wouldn't you?
For their part, Jose Mourinho knows he has to make an epic match at the
Nou Camp in order to reinvert the slight edge of Barcelona in the
first-leg thanks to away goals. The Special One could start with
Benzema, in an imperious-form, instead of Higuain in the attack while
Mesut Özil and Cristiano Ronaldo in the midfield. However, the
Portuguese coach has already announced that new signing in 30
millions-euros Coentrao will be in the starting line-up instead of Angel
Di Maria. Xabi Alonso and Kedhira in the contention while Ramos,
Carvalho, Pepe and Marcelo will be in the defence. New signings 10
millions euros Nuri Sahin and Altintop remain sidelined due to injury
while Kaka is available but the Brazilian is in a low form.
