Chilenos en España (R) (News, etc..)

Martino no es técnico para el Barza. Cuando se enfrentan a equipos grandes sale con otro esquema respecto a los usados ante rivales más chicos, con Iniesta de puntero izquierdo, Pedro o Alexis en el banco en vez de Neymarketing. Así le ha ido desde que comenzó a sentar a los dos mencionados y antes iban punteros de lejos.

 

Por fin de acuerdo con ustéd. Parece que elige los jugadores basandose en cuanto costaron.

 

I’ll say this:

Both of the Madrid teams have shown more grit this season. You only have to look at Atletico, a team unbeaten by Barca in 2013-14.

Impressive season from Sanchez, so far; better numbers than any other forward with the exception of Messi.

Messi’s absence mid-season produced an interesting development, as you guys would know. The forward movement became more balanced when players like Sanchez and Pedro increased their influence and work-rate. It was a productive period for Barcelona.

It’s very evident now that the two mentioned wingers have been relegated to secondary roles behind Martino’s preferred pieces up front (alongside Messi), Neymar and Fabregas.

Maybe, from the manager’s view, Sanchez and Pedro, while valuable, are both lightweights in a heavyweight team and are, therefore, tradeable assets.

I don’t know what Martino’s reasons are for preferring Fabregas and Neymar over Sanchez, but I know that no forward at Barcelona works harder than Sanchez. He chases, runs back, tackles, intercepts balls, forces errors, etc. – all essential qualities for a modern-day forward.

There are other world-class forwards in other leagues who could be in the plans next season for Martino (or replacement manager if he gets cut).

Sanchez has shown that he is more cake than icing this season. He is much more than a +1.

He seems enamoured with Barcelona, the city and way of life, but regardless of the world cup, he has good enough numbers and experience to join another big club elsewhere for 2014-15 if he chooses.

Personally, I’d like to see him in the Premier League next season. He has all the right tools to succeed there.

 

El vilucano Claudio Bravo jugó todo el partido por la Real Sociedad, que derrotó 0:1 de visita al Real Betis, que descendió. Hizo un buen partido según el corresponsal de Cooperativa en España.
El santiaguino Lorenzo Reyes fue titular en el Real Betis pero salió reemplazado a los 80 minutos.

 

Alexis se irá creo, y deberia hacerlo. Hay algo en la hinchada del barca que no me puede agradar.

 

Que Golazo. Grande Alexis.

 

Que siga en la mejor liga del mundo por demolición en estos días, la española.

 

Que se vaya, traeran un refuerzo caro y le ganará la titularidad sólo el precio que pagarán.
