DBasia.news – Interesting news appeared from Marca, who published the results of the Chelsea team’s analysis of Barcelona in 2006 given to Jose Mourinho. Both teams clashed in the Champions League at that time.
It’s normal for two teams to face each other to send people to analyze their opponents. Especially for the Champions League class.
No exception is Barcelona’s match against Chelsea in the 2005-2006 Champions League. At that time, Jose Mourinho sent some analyst teams to a match involving Frank Rijkaard’s side.
Jose Mourinho managed to analyze some weaknesses in Barcelona. Including their star at that time, Ronaldinho, who was considered too easy to fall.
“Ronaldinho has a transition and a bad defense, exploitation. An actor who easily falls” wrote the report.
The Barcelona captain, Carles Puyol, was also highlighted in the report. It is written, Puyol is an emotional and aggressive figure.
“Carles Puyol is aggressive but very emotional. Crazy when the referee gives him a violation or is provoked. It’s bad at positioning and defending.”
Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi, who are still young players, were also in the spotlight. However, there is praise in the report for both.
“Andres Iniesta always comes from the bench. A player who is dynamic and has a high playing radius. Has speed, a tricky player,” the report said.
“Lionel Messi has quality and speed but relies too much on the left foot. Similar to Ronaldinho. It has an extraordinary one on one ability.”
Although it has a detailed report about Barcelona, Chelsea failed to qualify at that time. In the end, Frank Rijkaard’s forces won the Champions League after beating Arsenal in the final.
