29.04.2008 - 08:59 Paulo Curado.
"There is no problem", it guaranteed Cristiano Ronaldo in Catalunha, after having failed a penálti in the second minute of the departure of the first hand of the semi-final of the League of the Champions (0-0). In case he had made gol, it would turn well less complicated the decisive encounter of this night in Old Trafford to Manchester United (19:45, RTP1).
One week later, the Portuguese will have the opportunity to justify, before Barcelona, the second consecutive title of Player of the Year in England that received on last Sunday, to reward the 38 golos and the luxury exhibitions that he has been signing in the present season. For today he promised more magic.
In Manchester, Barcelona will play an entire time, especially after the confirmation of the failure in the Spanish championship, in the last weekend, front to Deportivo of Corunha (2-0). Barcelona has lot to prove, in a height in that she opened the hunt to the responsible assumptions for the internal failures. One of the preferential objectives is Ronaldinho Gaúcho, finished example of the volubility that rules the career of some great stars of the soccer. Of hero in Catalunha, the player received a surprising "guide of his trainer's march" yesterday. "It is a feather, but I am with him. No there is to doubt of everything that did for this club. I have the hope that leaves and it can demonstrate to the world of the soccer who is", it advanced Frank Rijkaard in declarations to TV3.
Uncertain it is also the own Dutch trainer's future, now totally dependent of the course of the equips in Champions (that won two seasons ago) and, necessarily, of Old Trafford's departure. "I have faith that we can pass", it defended, promising audacity and show in Manchester: "United is one equips that he is not afraid, it plays how he knows, with mentality, talent and without complex. They will attack more than in Camp Nou and that can give in the possibilities. To defend the result is not part of our style and we have to worry with our game."
Also to cure the wounds of a compromising defeat for the English championship, front to Chelsea (2-1), on last Saturday, that removed Manchester United isolated leader's condition, sir Alex Ferguson doesn't want to lose the opportunity to toast his public with the access to final of a competition that already conquered in 1999. Of moment, the Scottish trainer's great concerns are arrested with Wayne Rooney's recoveries and Vidic, two fundamental pieces in the it equips in terms attackers and defensive, respectively, they still recover him of the physical sore spots of the collision with Chelsea.
Very smaller, comparatively Rijkaard, will be the pressure around the veteran trainer, aspect yesterday by the own, in declarations to AFP: The pressure? He could write a book on the subject! We didn't go sufficiently good on Wednesday [in the first hand]. I trust mine equips and we have players capable to also solve the encounter with a gesture and story with his pride and carácter."
With a registry of victories in the last 11 encounters of the League of the Champions and just with a suffered golo in the encounters of disputed UEFA this season in Old Trafford, equips her/it of Manchester leaves as favorite. To Barcelona the daring will remain of anything to have to lose.
Teams probable composition: Manchester United. Van gives Sar; Hargreaves (W. Brown), R. Ferdinand, Vidic (W. Brown), Evra; Carrick, Scholes, Anderson; Cristiano Ronaldo, W. Rooney and Giggs.
Barcelona. Valdés; Zambrotta, Puyol, Militate, Abidal; Iniesta, Touré, Xavi; Messi, S. Eto "the and Thierry Henry.
