First match of the new season for FC BARCELONA away at the
mythical (new)Wembley Stadium against TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS
in the “Wembley Cup” tournament that includes two other teams
which are Al-Ahly & Celtic Glasgow. The result was a 1-1 draw
with goals from BOJAN in the 31st min who put Barça ahead &
the equalizer from LIVERMORE in the 83rd min for Tottenham.
Tottenham 0 - F C Barcelona 1 - Bojan 31st min
Coach Guardiola put on a very “junior side” giving a to run players
from the "B team" that show promise & need games to continue on with
their development. The “experiment” was a total success with
youngsters Montonya, Pedro, Gai, Fontas & Sanchez playing maturely
& with confidence alongside the more experienced players like
Toure, Adibal & with the less called up players Caceres, Gudjohnsen &
Bojan. FC Barcelona without all its big stars & Spanish Internationals
maintained their characteristic style of play with possession & touch
Football which dominanted a more stable, stronger & already in the
working routine Tottenham team. In fact, watching the side the
Barça fans should be happy & comfortable knowing the future looks
excellent if the “senior” needs to call up any of tonight’s youngsters.
In the second half, FC Barcelona made more changes with more
“junior” players given a chance to show themselves along with other
habitual players who don’t get a regular run in normal circumstances.
Young promises like Muniesa, recalled on loan signing Henrique,
Espasandín, Dalmau , Rueda, Jonathan dos Santos; Jeffrén, Rochina
& Oriol all impressed in their play. Tottenham brought out stronger
players like Keane, Rose, etc & looked for the equalizer which
occurred late thanks to a header from Livermoore. The young Barça
players missed at this stage of the later part experience & were a
bit outplayed by the English physical game especially after they
equalized.
Tottenham 1 - FC Barcelona 1 - Livermore 83rd min
Result a 1-1 draw which should make Barça happier than Tottenham,
as the former have been back training only four days & didn’t put out
all the big guns.
The next match for FC Barcelona will be against Al-Ahly.
