There's also the small matter of the Champions League this week, and whilst Jose Mourinho might secretly feel that his conspiracy theory is still a valid one (Barcelona play at home on the Tuesday whilst Madrid must travel to Ajax on the Wednesday), he's unlikely to send his crack troops on the plane to Amsterdam. Both sides have first place in the group assured, which was their sworn objectives as soon as they saw the date of the first Clasico in the Bernabeu.
派正規軍副選加上踢得嘅B隊好貨出征阿姆斯特丹踢場例行公事啦我地
Barcelona brought forward their game with Rayo Vallecano in midweek, and have thus reduced Madrid's lead to three points, but have played a game more. They know that defeat in the Bernabeu could condemn them, after Christmas, to a nine-point gap whose psychological effects might cause difficulties for certain members of the Barcelona squad, accustomed as they have grown to always being ahead. I only suggest this as a possibility. It may motivate them to perform even better, but the discourse in Spain has changed. Mourinho is deliberately remaining quiet, since he knows, for the first time since he trod Spanish soil, that his project is bearing fruit and that his team may be about to dethrone their eternal rivals. The change of the guard might be upon us, or not. It's going to be a fascinating game, but Mourinho's non-provocative silence is an implicit message of his confidence. He only stirs it up when he's feeling a bit uncomfortable.
嗯嗯..
Pep Guardiola remains affable but tense. He knows that it's going to be a tough game. And despite the 5-0 romp against Levante, there are murmurs of discontent at the absence of David Villa from the line-up. Normally, in the week leading up to the Clasico, I'm always asked to predict the scoreline. This week I'll leave the responsibility with Ed Alvarez in his Quiniela whilst the rest of Spain builds up for the big emotional outpouring of grief and happiness, 22.00 hours local time next Saturday. |
