FC Barcelona closed the season with an inconsequential and nothing meritorious victory in the field of one of the teams that have fallen to Second Division

Between injuries, sanctions and unclarified cases, Frank Rijkaard was not - as in other games of this final season, much to choose where the alignment. And, in truth, alignment seemed more a bachelor party, forgiveness, players could hardly be in the team next season, otherwise. Thus, the starting players had as Pinto, Oleguer, Thuram, Gudjohnsen, Giovani or Eto'o who is not very clear to return to wear this shirt in the official party.

For many, therefore, were a good opportunity to leave a good taste in the mouth. But watched the first 20 minutes, which seemed rather what would be the repitición of recent disasters feature this team. That's because the minute 15, Murcia, which next year will be in Second Division, already won by 1-0, thanks to a goal from Ochoa, head, the salia a corner. And soon, Ivan Alonso had already sent a ball to crossbar and had serious troubles to Pinto. And all this time, Barca could only be highlighting a clear penalty on Puyol at the exit of a corner kick, that the collegiate not pit.

But, fortunately, from minute 20, Murcia saw the Second Division team to a club that, at least, it would be able to win a team eviction. It all began in minute 22 with a nice play by Henry and Messi, with the French centre and auction accurate Eto'o at the bottom of the goal. Three minutes later, Xavi, who was sent a pass in depth, Henry was anticipated at the local goalkeeper in his crazy departure, took the ball with his head door and empty, marked the 1-2. And in one minute 32, Giovani opened her recital culminating a good combination between Gudjohnsen and Eto'o. Three goals in just over ten minutes and decided to rest yet.

The Catalan team began its renewal

After completing his second season without titles, Barcelona will undergo a renovation almost complete.

The first to leave the team will coach Frank Rijkaard, who will be followed by the Brazilian Ronaldinho, in addition to the Mexican Rafael Marquez and Giovanni dos Santos.

Another that could leave the club at the end of the season is the Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o, for whom there are several offers from the Premier League, although the more juicy is that of Tottenham, who leads the Spanish Juande Ramos.

To make matters worse, Deco, Zambrotta and Thuram were also fired, after a poor campaign.

Marquez, the Argentine Lionel Messi and the Ivorian Yaya Toure must be careful not to be reprimanded at the meeting this Wednesday, as it deprives a yellow card for disputing the "return" from the Old Trafford stadium.

The defense Brazilian Jose Edmilson caused low because it presents discomfort in the back, so it was not included in the list of 18 summoned.

The call them up: Victor Valdes and Jose Pinto as porters, the Argentine Milito, Marquez, Xavi Hernandez, Touré, the French Eric Abidal and Liliam Thuram and Italian Gianluca Zambrota as defenses.

The Icelandic Ediur Gudjohnsen, Andres Iniesta, the Brazilian Sylvinho, the Portuguese Deco and Messi in the midfield and the Cameroonian Samuel Etoo, French Henry, Giovani and Bojan Krkic, in the lead.

The Mexican forward has assumed to be going through the operating room, but now wants to help the team

Giovani Dos Santos is already back. Yesterday he was given the high medical and Mexican may place themselves at the orders of Frank Rijkaard this when he feels like it.

Bojan it is the present and I am glad that they leave things so well, "he said Giovani an expectation that the fate put him in the face in the future.

If Frank Rijkaard have any questions on how to replace Argentine, yesterday found that you have several options

Leo Messi is irreplaceable, but someone should play instead. Frank Rijkaard yesterday prepared a training match in which there was a footballer who stressed above the rest, Giovani dos Santos, who requested cries a place in the team owner Sunday morning before the Villarreal at the Camp Nou.

The Mexican footballer disputed an encounter very complete and collaborated actively in the victory of his team, which was formed by Gabi Milito, Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Sylvinho, Puyol and Thierry Henry, besides him. The team rival with orange bib, formed Edmílson, Gudjohnsen, Bojan Krkic, Thuram, Iniesta, Abidal, Zambrotta and Samuel Etoo. The final result was 3-2 in favour of the team Giovani dos Santos, which, in addition to the Mexican forward, who managed two of the goals, also marked Deco. Bojan and Gudjohnsen were goleadores of their group.

The international Aztec did not stop creating danger for the band right. The Dutch technical placed him in the same position that usually occupy Leo Messi to see if you can count on him for the party Villarreal. Giovani not disappoint him and he made it very clear that it is prepared to meet the challenge. He combined well with Ronaldinho and Deco, which always found support, but mostly notable for its ease to door. The Mexican exercised Messi and did so successfully. Now it is up to Frank Rijkaard make a decision. The party, in that sense, was intense. Deco and Giovanni moved to your computer, but Gudjhonsen and Bojan also very active, the same rate until, once again, appeared for sentencing Aztec grief.

Three days before measured at Villarreal, staffing blaugrana proved to be very plugged in to prevail in the Camp Nou. Despite the absence of Leo Messi, the team can not afford to stumble before castellonenses, regardless of what the Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu today before the Espanyol Valverde.

Giovani Dos Santos, Mexican forward of Barcelona, showed their desire for its technical, Frank Rijkaard, continue "many years" in the club despite the doubts that arouses their continuity from next season.

Dos Santos is the great promise of Barcelona The young player stressed the "full confidence" of apparel in the Dutch coach and recalled that, beyond speculation of the future, "this is that Rijkaard is the coach."

Whenever I am more comfortable, my colleagues make me feel as if carrying a lot of time here and this confidence is reflected in the field. Hobby is demanding, So I try to improve every day, to become one of the best long-term, "said Giovani dos Santos.

The Mexican reiterated his desire to "win in Barcelona, the best club in the world", and assured that the team azulgrana exist "emblems" could sign a lifetime contract similar to those signed by madridistas Iker Casillas and Raul Gonzalez.

Will continue fighting for the title and we will not give up," he concluded.

Hugo Sanchez intends to take in the Preolímpico March, but the player knows that the season will be seething azulgrana

It will be an important decision. Giovani Dos Santos must weigh between playing with Barça the final stretch of this season or move preolímpico of CONCACAF that Mexico must play by the middle of next March. The young striker is in a encucijada but does not hide his desire would be with men Frank Rijkaard on dates that can be positively keys to finalize the season in Spain. Their progress in the first team has the wind in its sails and move away from the discipline azulgrana at a conference as important would be very inappropriate.

The tournament will be held from 11 to 16 March in the United States, specifically in Tampa (Florida), Carson (California) and the finals in Nashville (Tennessee).

I spoke with Hugo Sanchez and would like to be with them but we all know that these dates will be very important to be Barça because they may decide many things. This is the last leg and that will help the team as it is, "says the young man crack.

The Barça have supported that qualifying is not dated by FIFA which is not required to relinquish his footballer if you do not want. What we also want the entity is Catalan clash with the Mexican National team in order to achieve future agreements.
