El Clasico: True Madrid versus Hamilton Academical Barcelona: Tactical Analysis - Barca Blaugranes (web log)

Barcelona may have lost against Real Madrid earlier in the week, but do they really should make major changes to beat Los Blancos? Barcelona were not just beaten by Real Madrid on Tuesday, they were outclassed. Despite a preliminary period of popularity, the Blaugrana simply couldnat make the development against a Madrid defense; and by the full time they did, it had been too late. Thanks to a from Raphael Varane and a support from Cristiano Ronaldo, Real were 3-0 up by the full time Jordi Alba scored; they had a, and it was executed by them perfectly. The question is: does Barcelona have a solution to that particular game-plan? On the day, I maintain that Barcelona can conquer Real Madrid. They have accomplished it before; they can and will do it again a' itas simply a matter of whether they conduct for their full potential. Nevertheless, as numerous have noted, itas unlikely that Barcelona may have considerably increased since Tuesday a' perhaps they need a minor tactical rethink; nothing severe a' above all, BarAa need to keep their faith in the system, but a few tweaks couldnat hurt: especially if these tweaks help address the evident flaws Madrid exposed at the Camp Nou. Idea One a Alves on RW One of many main criticisms of Barcelonaas attack on Tuesday was that no-one tracked back. Granted, it isnat their job to protect a itas their job to score a' but sometimes the defense needs a little support, specially against resistance as harmful as Real Madrid. With this at heart, why not push Dani Alves ahead to the right-wing? Alves would not only have the ability, but prepared to track back, and his presence on the right-wing may provide the best out of Lionel Messi as well. The pair are renowned because of their almost telepathic understanding together and, while Messi wasnat just at his best on Tuesday, he almost truly might have benefitted from a "partner in crime" as they say. Adriano might simply take Alvesa place in defense and given his (albeit brief) experience of enjoying centre-half, the Brazilian may allow the Blaugrana defense to cover for the attack-minded Jordi Alba. Thought Two: Mascherano at pivote a Sergio Busquets in midfield With Xavi hurt, Barcelona require a alternative a' and who more straightforward to change Xavi than Sergio Busquets? Constructed in person with an vision for a cross, Busquets is a lot more than capable of doing the "Xavi role"; the only real difficulty is that no-one else is very as accomplished as Busquets at playing the...well, Busquets part. All things considered, in his time with the senior team, Busi has not only homeless Yaya Toure, but his own place was secured by heas in the pantheon of all-time midfield greats. On another hand, before Barcelona transformed Javier Mascherano to centre-half, the Argentine was probably the worldas leading midfield destroyer. Certainly the clear answer is obvious? Au contraire whenever Mascherano has performed at pivote, tragedy generally follows a' think back again to Hercules for a memory a' so just why should Roura also contemplate it being an choice? Well, Busquets would still be on the subject, and if required, BarAa would have the employees to improve to a fairly risky 3-4-3 (or even another 4-3-3 with Carles Puyol at right-back). With both Busi and Masch on the area, Jordi Alba and Dani Alves will be absolve to maraud up and down the flanks without fear of repercussions a' providing the Blaugrana with size and perhaps stretching the Madrid defense. Thought Three a Adriano at CB Barcelona moved Adriano to center of defense within the last La Liga Clasico out of necessity; although given the danger that Real Madrid pose on the counter-attack a' you could argue that Barcelona come in desperate need of some kind of an answer to that problem. Nearly all the Madrid attacks were aimed down the left-flank a and if Adriano starts at centre-half, he would take an excellent position to cover for his friend. Sergio Busquets is good at falling heavy to create a defense when necessary, even though in this, he does open a considerable gap between your BarAa defense and midfield. Therein lies the problem with all the "ideas" a in principle, they may solve a particular problem, but as Barcelona effort to solve one "problem", they may make another worse or instead develop new ones that they have to deal with. Positive, Alves could play in strike, Busquets could play in a advanced midfield role and Adriano could play at centre-half, but can it be worth the chance? Instead of emphasizing a new program, as well as any tactical change, probably the Blaugrana could be better advised to simply carry on using their original game-plan. When AndrAs Iniesta begins in midfield with Lionel Messi, David Villa and Pedro in assault a' three points often follow. Do you think that Barcelona need to adapt their game-plan if they wish to defeat Real Madrid, or do you have faith in the team to draw through no matter whether Roura makes a tactical change?
