I think they actually played well. Pressed us hard, limited our chances and looked dangerous. If it wasn't for Messi we would have probably lost.
But you really have to wonder what the hell Mou has in his mind when giving instructions to Marcelo or Pepe.
Bojan, you must be kidding..
Are you trying to argument on a pre-season game, with all of Barca players half-fit? And still, dont you see that there is a general image in those games?
RM and Mourinho deliberetely trying to dynamite the whole thing with rough & dirty play, off-pitch saga and eventually run and gun festive?
Its the whole package.. they dont only press high.. Barca presses high, but they dont kick the opposition off the park..
they are trying to manage the whole thing and turn the game into anarchy so that they can have a chance to steal the win during the thrill hours..
This is their only method.. they have not come (Mourinho) with anything smarter.. This has been their weapon the previous season, after some experimentation, they succeeded once (CdR) when the referee succumbed and failed to do his job..
When our players dont bite (or at least try not to get upset by all the kicking..), when they dont run into this chaos, when they stay calm, the best RM can get is a home defeat..
