Everyone knows that the Madrid team is a good time, it has gained in strength and effectiveness.But no one should escape that Barca has already taken a title this season: the Supercopa of Spain (2-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu and 3-2 at the Camp Nou). No one can escape it not that Madrid is looking forward to Barcelona by repeated punishment to those before it, but nobody, neither can escape the Catalan team will perform at the target nest battle. To work. To play football and be true to their philosophy of play, which is none other than go in search of victory. The mission, therefore, more complicated enough, or more complicated than it is willing to present the FC Barcelona, ​​not far from impossible. It’s possible. And very possible. There are in the memory of all the fans the 2-6 and 0-2 of the League 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 and the 2010-2011 Champions League 0-2. And in the memory of the team, whose backbone is still the same.

Compelling reasons

BARÇA EXPECTED TO LIFT

FC Barcelona has done a session at the Camp Nou with all players available more Isaac Basin

Pep Guardiola has been faithful to the usual routine when the team plays at Camp Nou and Barca have made a smooth final session at the Camp Nou before the visit of the Levant.

The training is conducted in camera and have exercised the 19 players available from the first team along with Isaac Basin, which is integrated into the dynamics of the first team.

Absences for the game against the surprise team of the season will be to Pique, sanctioned, and Adriano suffered a elonganción in the semitendinosus of the left leg and continue with their recovery process. Still, it has jumped to the Brazilian turf Nou Camp to work outside the group.

After the training, all staff have eaten at Camp Noy before going to their homes to enjoy leisure time to return to the stadium to face in the match against Levante.

GUARDIOLA: “THE NEXT THREE GAMES ARE A DANGEROUS PHASE”

“What we’re waiting until the end of the year is fascinating, and it all starts winning tomorrow,” said FC Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, who described the match against Getafe on “vital and fundamental”

Getafe, Levante Ray and cross into the path of the boat before the visit to the Bernabeu. Then came the great event of the end of year: the World Club Cup in Japan. Guardiola knows that to get the classic live, your team must win the next three league games. ”This is a very dangerous stage and we have to focus. We put a lot of mental effort to not allow ourselves to points along the way,” he said.

Although the coach of Barça victory account for visits to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, warned that the team of Luis Garcia, as always, will not easy.”The coach who now heads the Getafe is the one that was on the east coast last year, and we had a hard time beating the two parties. It’s a team that has been bolstered this year and are at that stage to finish adjusting the parts, but the things I do do well, “he argued Guardiola, who stressed that all Madrid is better than showing the classification, it” has lost many games and tied in the final minutes. ”

In Getafe, Barca travel without Andres Iniesta, also in San Siro absent because of a bruised left thigh suffered in the last league match against Zaragoza. Guardiola said that Iniesta “is nothing serious,” but “not just be fine” and prefers to reserve “given what we have before Christmas and then in January when we will play most of the Cup.”

Nor will travel to Madrid his assistant Tito Vilanova, recovering from surgery who underwent the last Wednesday in the parotid gland. ”He’s following the usual steps in a post-operative, but is encouraged. He is strong and this will make you even stronger,” Guardiola said after visiting the Thursday at the Hospital Vall d’Hebron.

DEFENSE OF THREE

One of the questions will be whether in Getafe, Barcelona will play to the defense of three, which has suffered more than the account in the latest appointments, or return to the four. In this sense, Guardiola recalled that at San Siro, after 37 minutes, his players “had been shot five times at one meter Abbiati” thanks to the offensive power of 3-4-3. ”With three back we have never lost, but the day we lose I have assumed that up to give me an ID card,” he added.

Guardiola also praised the renewal until 2015 Barcelona B midfielder Jonathan dos Santos: “Barça could not miss.’s A player too good, too high to go so young (21 years) from here.”

Finally, the Barça coach downplayed the fact that goalkeeper Iker Casillas, captain of the Spanish team Jose Mourinho has voted, Vicente del Bosque and André Villas-Boas as coach of the year.

“The three that voted are fantastic. And everyone is entitled to vote for whomever you please, just be missing,” he said Pep Guardiola.

Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Set to Receive Bold £30M Bid from Barcelona for Theo Walcott

If rumors are to be believed, Spanish champions Barcelona have added English club Arsenal’s winger Theo Walcott to the list of players the club would like to bring to the Nou Camp. The European champions will, therefore, submit a bid to acquire the 22-year-old Englishman’s services.

Barcelona, who previously targeted Tottenham’s midfielder Gareth Bale, has now declared that the club will be making a £30 million move for Walcott; a figure that may be hard for Arsenal to resist. It is believed that Barca boss Pep Guardiola is looking for young players to add to the squad, to play alongside those advancing through the club’s youth ranks.

The Englishman has less than 18 months to run on his current contract and that may prove an advantage to the Catalan club. In addition, Walcott, a former Southmapton player, may feel the urge to look for a future elsewhere if Arsenal yet again fail to win a trophy or even finish in the top four of the Premier League, come May.

The English club, however, will be understandably reluctant to let Walcott go. He is considered one of the key members in the current Gunners’ squad and the club’s manager, Arsene Wenger, has already lost two other key players, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, to Barcelona and Manchester City, respectively.

The Spanish champions’ rumored bid of £30m could be seen as a trifle high for someone who has yet to demonstrate excellence on the same scale as Barcelona. However, give that the club’s other new signing, Chilean Alexis Sanchez, for example, has also yet to truly prove his worth to the team and front-man David Villa is still to regain form and looks off the pace, a gamble on Walcott may be worth Barcelona’s while.

Arsenal are currently 12 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City and are in seventh position in the table.

PETER LOOKS AT THE NEW TALENT: ALEXIS, CESC AND THIAGO

The Barcelona striker, Pedro Rodriguez, gave an interview that went through the feelings of current staff and the next Mundialito Barca club

The canary Pedro Rodriguez was interviewed onFifa, and again showed his natural humility that has made ​​them successful in the Barca first team Pep Guardiola’s hand.

On the current status of all Barca, Pedro and said he was confident that the club should be considered favorite in every tournament that dispute, because “we have a great team.” He noted that “this year, with the arrival of Cesc, Alexis and the emergence of Thiago, we have a more compact equipment, with greater depth in which each brings something different: Alexis, overflow in band, Cesc, verticality, balance and concentration ; Thiago is very dynamic. ”

In relation to the competition that it implies, the striker looked on the bright side: “There was always plenty of competition on the computer, and a huge talent in attack positions. That’s good, because not only are stronger, competition forces us to make the best of us. And if we have to rotate, so be it. The idea is to get many titles, and we need the highest possible quality. ”

Questioned by the motivation of the team after having won everything, the canary sought the perfect example. ”When you train alongside Carles Puyol and you realize his ambition, but can not infect you,” said the player strongly.

About the Club World Cup

Peter, who in two years has raised all possible trophies with the club, spoke of the next meeting of the Catalans club in the World Club Cup, a tournament that took unexpected role two seasons ago, so essential to helping the club to be achieved for the first time in its history, the mentioned competition.

No doubt that feat brings good memories: “We won that tournament and also there I had the chance to get something incredible, which was score a goal in all competitions that year. It was a beautiful event, hard fought, in which I I really enjoyed because I could score in the semifinal and final, and that’s crown us champions. ”

Then, the canary analyzed the new edition to be held in Japan in less than a month: “We know that teams compete very hard.’s Santos of Brazil, which is very dramatic and has a very nice football. Nor should we forget the Monterrey, the Mexican teams are very seasoned but very quick to go against. ”

Asked about the star of Santos, Neymar, Pedrito spoke with admiration. ”I have been fortunate to play against him. I know it’s a very quick player who is comfortable sticking to the band, has a good hit with both legs and pretty goal. It’s a brilliant player and will be taken into account, no doubt, “he said the canary, aware that Neymar will be the main threat to repeat the success of two years ago.

BARCA TO WIN WITH ROTATIONS

Barca now plays three vital points on the pulse by the League with Real Madrid, but Pep Guardiola does not forget that on Wednesday, plays another decisive match against Milan in the fight to end as group winners of the Champions.

Therefore, the Santpedor bet on rotations to align the players who are better and they do not run the risk of losing the match against the Italians as a result of accumulated fatigue by international commitments.

Sure who will be in the starting lineup is Leo Messi. The Argentine came with a dual commitment notable fatigue with Argentina, but the rest came in handy Thursday, retrieved and transmitted forces Guardiola his desire to play against Zaragoza. The technician will take into account the determination of the crack and now has the job locked in the up front.

In attack, the young Isaac Basin has many papers to accompany him. Alexis Sanchez is discarded only after participating in training and have forced the machine to Chile, so the Reus is the best candidate to fill the right wing. The third front will come between Villa and Cesc.

The `Guaje did you participate in 180 minutes with the selection, whereas Fabregasdid not play full games either, nor to England nor against Costa Rica. Iniesta is in a situation similar to Villa. He gave a great performance cona selection, but also accumulated many minutes.

In midfield, Keita has emerged as the holder and defensive midfielder who has worked all week at the Ciutat Esportiva. Xavi, who arrived less loaded than the other international points to eleven, with Thiago, who has also enjoyed more time to recover.

In defense, Abidal will rest as it is fixed for Milan in the absence of Alves, suspended, and Adriano, who did not arrive in time to San Siro due to muscle injury suffered inBrazil. Guardiola could opt today for a line of four with Alves, Piqué, Puyol partner and Maxwell covering the left flank.
