FIFA Club World Cup 2011 - Japan - CAMPIONS DEL MÓN!

Barça played today in a 3-7-0 tactic.

LOL very nice analysis. People say Mourinho is the special one .But what you said today 3-7-0 will put guardiola into very very very special one.

Some Gardner quotes from the Final:

38 min: Ah, there's Neymar, mouth agape after bumping into Big Ole Gerard Pique. It's a foul but, predictably, Santos are soon back in their own half, trying to piece together their dignity.

Peep! Peep! That's half-time. Which is what Santos are being paid, after a first period in which Barcelona demonstrated for the umpteenth time that they're playing a different game to everyone else.

"Football will be complete the day someone devises a tactic that lets 11 Xavi's play together."

50 min: Barcelona are knocking it about. Unless I expressly say otherwise, you can consider that to be the case ad infinitum.

51 min: They haven't induced mass panic in the Santos backline in at least five minutes, though. So, they're not quite perfect.

52 min: Hang on, I spoke too soon. Messi went skeddadling through the middle, evading tackles, wrecking balls, a buzzsaw, etc, before slipping a ball out to the left for Thiago, whose cross to the back post is headed comically off target by Dani Alves. Barça do win a corner, with the ball pinging off an unwitting defender - but that really should have been four.

62 min: "French TV reporting 75% possession for Barca in the first half, is that right?," wonders Philippa Booth. I believe it is - at least that's what the ESPN bods were saying. "At a certain point, watching them makes you a bit uneasy, like you're complicit in bullying or something. Like watching the big kid nick the little kid's mittens. Beautiful play, though."

GOAL! WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?! Santos 0-4 Barcelona (Messi 82)There have been more gaps in the Santos defence than in OJ Simpson's today, and Alves, sprinting into another one, has little to do to release Messi through on goal once again. There's still a touch of magic to the finish, though, as the Flea delicately flicks the balls past Rafael Cabral's lunge with the outside of his boot before popping it into an unguarded net.

85 min: This has been quite an evisceration, you'll not be at all surprised to hear, and Barcelona could comfortably have scored eight. Not that anyone was expecting otherwise, I suppose. Santos seem to have come armed with little more than hope and a callow talisman up front – 10th in the Brazilian league has looked a million miles from Club World Cup material here.

the bold part

Barça lead the winners table of the competition, which was definitively inaugurated in 2005 as the top global club competition

- The full list of Club World Cup winners is: Barça (2009 and 2011), Inter (2010), Manchester United (2008), Milan (2007), Inter Porto Alegre (2006), São Paulo (2005) and Corinthians (2000).

- 0-4 is the biggest score achieved in a final of either the Club World Cup or the old Intercontinental Cup.

- Leo Messi is the all time leading scorer in the competition, with four goals alongside Denilson and just three short of Pele's seven in the Intercontinental Cup.

- The Argentinian is also the first player to be voted Man of the Match twice since the award began in 1980.

- The team finally managed to break the Club's bad run against Brazilian teams in Japan, where they had lost the last two finals against São Paulo (1992) and Inter de Porto Alegre (2006).

- Barça enjoyed 72% of possession during the game against Santos, having had a massive 80% in the first quarter of an hour.

- The team completed a total of 881 passes against the Brazilian's 256.

- Xavi was the most active player – making 151 successful passes of the 160 he attempted.

- Sergio Busquets was by a long way the player who recovered most possession, with 15 interventions.

15 is a large number. Busquets, Masch, Keita and Thiago are as good at recovering the ball as Messi, Alves and Iniesta are at dribbling.

sergio busquets - the messi of his position.

sergio busquets - the messi of his position.

Actually Barca have many "Messis" in each position , they know their stuff in La Masia.

 

[Clockwise]

why? bcoz he was crying after the match ended?

if anything that means he still has a soul, some thing Madrid players haven't heard of

Neymar:

“What Barcelona did today was amazing,” said the 19-year-old.

“They were far, far the better team and we learned how to play football today.

I’ve grown up watching this side play and learning from them, but you take in so much more out on the pitch. I’m going to look on this game as a lesson, that’s for sure.”

Santos Captain, Dracena:

“Even scoring a goal against them is tremendously difficult,” Santos captain Edu Dracena told FIFA.com.

“We spoke a lot about how to do that but when you’re out there it’s an entirely different proposition. It’s frightening the way they keep position, stay patient and link up with each other.

One minute you think you’ve got them under control and the next there are players popping up in the box from nowhere.”

Dani Alves:

“At the end of the day, it has to be said that there are few if any teams that have as much individual quality as we do,” explained the full-back.

“When we play as well as that, it’s difficult for any team to defeat us, not just Santos.”

Neymar seems like a classy kid (from his comments), i used to dislike him because of Pele but now i think he is okay.

When you are on Barca´s side it can be easy to forget how terrible it must be to be in the opponents´ shoes when Barca is in this mood.

Take a minute to close your eyes and imagine you are actually there on the pitch, say as Neymar, or a defender, watching Barca play rings around you, never getting close to the ball and when you do still not getting it off them (especially the midfielders and messi). That must be really really annoying.
