Barcelona's defeat to Arsenal (2-1) in the eighth-finals of the Champions League is also due to a losing coach Josep Guardiola. By opting for a defensive strategy, "Pep" offered a chance to return to the Gunners in the game. Wenger took the chance of winning enter.
The audience at the Emirates saw two games between Arsenal and Barcelona. The first lasted 68 minutes. Arsenal dominated the opening quarter of an hour before taking control Catalan, embodied by the opening goal from David Villa (26th). The second lasted about 25 minutes. During this time, the Gunners Barça put on the rack, scoring two goals in five minutes by Robin van Persie (78) and Andrei Arshavin (83) to reverse the situation and sign an unexpected victory (2-1) throughout the encounter. The turning point, so this is 68 minutes. One chosen by Josep Guardiola to replace Villa by Seydou Keita.
defensive change made by coach Catalan has had detrimental effects on its formation. It has disrupted the offensive dry behind Barcelona's domination during the first three quarters of the game. Freed from this embrace, the Gunners were able to practice this game started in the back that is their strength and return to the game. This change also broke the square axial Busquets Xavi-Messi-Iniesta-if factor in the mastery of the ball which characterizes Barca. Especially, he allowed Arsene Wenger to leave a defensive player, Alexandre Song, on borrowed time after being notified early in the game for an offensive player, Andrei Arshavin. Also entered in the 68th minute, the Russian has been involved in London's first goal before scoring the second. It symbolizes the winner of the coaching manager Alsatian. And the fatal mistake of his counterpart in Barcelona.
Wenger: "It could have been counter and losing 0-2 or 0-3"
In this match between two teams with the most offensive of the mainland, it should be written somewhere that the first to pay back the full price. Guardiola may have wanted to learn the lessons of the quarter-final first leg last year between these two formations, which ended in a draw (2-2) while Barca had a break to advance to the hour of play is mostly gone against his own philosophy of play A trap which seemed rather tense at Arsenal. "Everyone encouraged us to play differently, so I think it will reinforce the confidence we have in our game, "Wenger jubilant after a meeting where the manager of the Gunners did not calculate." We tried this bet and it could backfire. It could have been counter and losing 0-2 or 0-3. But it worked, "he explained, and when they talk of Arshavin entry instead of Song.
In this game of poker liar, Wenger has in fact relied his carpet. Barcelona has had multiple opportunities to kill the final meeting, and probably the eighth round by the same opportunity. If Lionel Messi had shown his usual realism, it would have even been folded before the 68th minute. The Gunners manager could have said that a delay of a goal was not such a bad transaction with respect to the scenario of the match. He never considered himself well and took. Conversely, Guardiola considered a defeat 2-1 away was not a bad result after watching his training almost dominate the first three quarters of the game. The coach of Barca has yet actually lost this game. He will win the next three weeks at Camp Nou. Against a team that Arsenal "attack and play to win," dixit Wenger. It's probably not a bluff.
