model of football to follow & win titles. That model was its bench,
that is, have a 2º side at the same level as the 1st, to ensure that
any holes that may appear - eg injuries - would not effect the TEAM.
Its no coincidence the FC BARCELONA´s coach Frank Rikjaard was a
player of AC MILAN & an integrate part of that model. Tonight the only
match played of this weeks Round 5 fixture was won by Barça 1 - 3 away
against AT.BILBAO. The Barça scorers are bench players in tonights side,
due to a terrible knee injury to star striker Samuel Eto´o.
RESULT:
At. Bilbao 1 ( Yeste)
Fc Barcelona 3 ( Ustarito (own goal) ; Gudjohnson; Saviola)
Great to see SAVIOLA score & prove that he is a team man, talented
& has an legitimate place in this Barça side. He was given the chance
& has taken it like a true professional.
However the true winner is the above mentioned model of playing
football, the Barça bench is as strong as the playing side. Everyone
is under pressure to perform & train hard & any absence is hardly
noticed. Tweet

Money and fame certainly rules because without them you cant get nor persuade good players to sit on the bench. :-)
Teams like Roma and Man United will "run out of gas" on
or around the new year's eve of 2007, but teams like Barca
may keep storming till the end of the season.

Great analysis Striker, I agree. Now if only we had a replacement for Ronaldinho when he needs a break...;-)
