The FC Barcelona continued to hold on to their options in the League. The set azulgrana goleó to Valladolid in a big game Bojan Krkic. The youth squad player marked two goals, two others served on a plate ... And put the red-hot fight for the title, as it subsequently lost to Madrid and Valencia is now just four points from the azulgranas.
The Barça came to the event after a week baleful. On his bad streak in the League, joined the elimination on Thursday in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey at Valencia. And all this spiced by the controversy surrounding Ronaldinho. The Brazilian returned to stay out of the call by some physical discomfort, despite the fact that medical services denied this week that is injured. And this time Frank Rijkaard not hid him, but quite the opposite, showing that his estrangement with him is growing.
Against this background, there was anticipation to see how the public would receive the Camp Nou, with a little over half-entry to his team. And the atmosphere was like in the afternoon: More than just cold, ice cream. The players were whistled when leaving the field, and the rest in various stages isolated. It also saw some banners critical. The anger was evident ...
Great Bojan, bad defense
The Barça came ready to reconcile and, incidentally, try to reengancharse to fight for the title. And it succeeded thanks largely to the contribution of the younger. From Bojan Krkic. The youth squad player, 17 years old, was the architect of the victory by serving tray on the first two goals, by Etoo and Iniesta, and mark the last two. Luck that, because the defense, this time consisting of Sylvinho, Thuram, Puyol and Zambrotta, became a coladero ...
Bojan contributed mobility, mischief and spark in attack and in the first five minutes, and was about to mark two goals. The first, at a counter where, after driblar the goal Asenjo, Baraja took out his auction under sticks (2 ). And second, by forcing showcased at goal after a superb pucelano triangulation with Iniesta and Xavi.
Asenjo was used extensively in the first 20 minutes, and their fists again 1-0 to avoid chuts of Iniesta and Toure. The Ivorian once again gave a lesson in professionalism and camaraderie to play inflitrado despite the serious back injury that suffers. An attitude of some should take note ...
Etoo amount and continues
The goal seemed only a matter of time, and was not long in coming. Bojan served as a centre from the side of the area and Etoo, coming from behind, shot to the net (1-0, 23 ). The Cameroonian, even without being at the top, gave it all for the team, and marked in its first shot on goal. His statistics say it all: 11 goals in 11 matches. You can not ask for more. The question is: where this team would have reached if it had not been three months and another injured absentee for their participation in the African Cup?.
Stops invents a penalty
But, as usual in this Barça, the triumph was not going to be easy. Still missing the stage of suffering. And this time, the work and grace of an arbitrator, Stops Romero, which was invented a penalty against the azulgranas push for a course of Thuram to Llorente to fight for a ball hung in the area. Shooting down that only existed in his imagination. Sesma became the maximum penalty (1-1, 30 ). It was the eighth penalty against those of Rijkaard this season ... And the fifth in the last six games. Another food for thought.
On both gave wings to Valladolid which grew before the break, and that was on the verge of giving another scare through Llorente (37 ) and Sesma (44).
Iniesta calm returns ... And Bojan judgement
The Barça recovered tranquillity in the resumption tempranero thank both of the other highlights another of those who never fail: Andres Iniesta. The Manchego marked the 2-1 in the 47 at the end, to driblando Asenjo, a ball hairstyle in the area by Bojan after a centre Toure.
Already in the 64 , Bojan marked the 3-1. Xavi was a failure, poorly-controlled Puyol and possible outside game - in the area, but the ball fell to the feet of Linyola that after bypass to Asenjo, marked almost no angle.
In 70 , Etoo acarició the fourth to fail just because empty door, a great pass from Xavi. Of course, the Valladolid also had good options. Sesma Manchev and crashed two balls in the post (75 and 82). And the latter was cancelled out by a goal of the game in the 78 . Despite the victory, the defense made azulgrana waters and returned to show an image concern, as happened in the past encounters with Atletico (4-2), Villarreal (1-2), Almeria (2-2) and Valencia (3 -2).
Bojan Luck, which put the icing on a great performance marking the final 4-1 in the 83 , to culminate in a goal mouth pass of death Etoo. The three points were already in the pocket. It was only waiting for the stumble from Madrid to Valencia to continue to dream of the League. And two hours later, occurred. The ches won 2-3 at the Bernabeu, putting the League to boiling point.
