El Clasico – Joga Bonito style

El Clasico Preview

The biggest sporting rivalry in the world without any doubt .This is a kind of game where attack is the only form of defense .
The rivalry dates back to General Franco’s regime in Spain when all the regional languages and identities were restrained . The people of Catalunya could speak their language Catalan freely only in the Nou Camp stadium .This is when the term ” Mes Que Un Club ” was coined which means ” more than a club ” .
Barcelona became the representatives of Catalonia, the free-thinking region in the north east of Spain striving hard to gain autonomy and the distinction of a country; Castilian side Real were the manifestation of the Spanish State’s sovereign oppressive centralism.

The difference in the quality of the football played by the two teams is very noticeable .FC Barcelona with their tiki-taka , possession football are the team to watch in the whole of Europe . Just see what they did to Inter Milan in the first half . Real Madrid on the other hand are not displaying their Galactico football because they still look like a disjointed team . They may be at the top of the table currently but in the big matches against Sevilla and AC Milan they have suffered .A lot will be riding on this game for the Real Madrid Coach Manuel Pelligrini for if he loses this match , his chances of getting sacked will be quadrupled . Real Madrid cannot afford to lose after spending so much money in the summer and grabbing all the headlines from Barca after their El Triplete triumph last year ( treble ) .

The players to watch out for in both the teams :
FC Barcelona
Messi : The little Argentine was no doubt the best player in the world last year and he will be looking to maintain his form with his jinking runs through the right side of the field .

Xavi : This is the engine that keeps Barcelona going . He is always there to receive the ball and then pass it to someone else . Xavi had four assists in the 6-2 win last year , so Real Madrid need to have someone always marking him .

Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo : The 2008 Ballon d’Or winner was in quite imperious form before he had to sit out for 10 matches because of injury . He is back now as he played for 30 minutes against Zurich in the midweek .All the Barca fans will be hoping that he is back but not with a bang . A lot of pressure will be on the most expensive footballer in world football to deliver .

Kaka : The Brazilian may never attain the form which he displayed at Ac Milan but he is a player who can easily change the complexion of a game with one special play . All the focus will be on Messi and Ronaldo and hence Kaka will look to go about his job quietly and make his name in Madrid folklore .

Predictions : This is a match where nothing can be taken for granted ,the formbook goes out of the window . If Real Madrid do not play defensively , then we can be in for a high scoring affair . As a Barcelona fan it will be stupid to think that the 6-2 scoreline can be repeated , but I think that Barcelona can easily defeat the Galacticos because of their fluid passing game and the support of the crowd . My prediction : Barca 4- 2 Real Madrid .

P.S. – We in India will not be able to watch the game because the broadcasters thought that showing Spanish Liga would not be that profitable ( compared to EPL ) as the matches are played when it is midnight here . It is so sad that we will be deprived of watching the most star-studded Clasico in recent years .

Do not Disturb coz …..

My India – Full of Life

Puru Pratap Singh , a class four student from Gurgaon , designed this doodle which was displayed on Google's Home page on Children's day .
Cool artwork I must admit .

This was the inspiration behind his design ……
“India is a country which has a blend of thousands of traditions and all religions like Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism and Islam. It has developed a lot in the past few years. The discovery of water on the moon by the Indian scientists is a proof to this fact. The Indian culture is as vibrant as the colours of the peacock. Kashmir, the crown of India, is as serene as the peace bird and as pure as the lotus. We, the Indian citizens are also trying to fulfill Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of educating each and every Indian child.”

why are indians ……

Most of the results are quite true .There is no doubt that we are smart and rich …..

btw i meant rich in cheapness too
