REVIEW: DEPORTIVO 2 - BARCELONA 3 (LIGA) A crazy match saw five goals, one sending off and another disastrous performance of referee Tristante Oliva. Deportivo played a good match and deserved a lead. But when Tristan was denied a penalty Barcelona struck twice (Ronaldinho, Saviola) and the match seemed over. Minutes into the second half Ronaldinho scored 0-3 and Deportivo looked hopeless. Nevertheless, Walter Pandiani did something back, twice, after which both clubs had plenty of chances to score more goals. The advantage seemed to go to the home team when Motta was sent off, another mistake by the referee. But the score didn't change and so Deportivo probably will give up their title hopes. 联赛冠军掰掰?\_/# BEFORE THE MATCH At the moment before kick-off Deportivo were flying high after taking ten points from the four previous Liga matches and beating Juventus 1-0 in the C hampions League. But the opposing team were doing even better as they had won five Liga matches in a row and by though their European win at Brondby (0-1) c ould become favourites to win the UEFA Cup this season. Both teams didn’t suffer suspensions and only some players were absent because of injuries (Duscher, Marquez, Kluivert), meaning that all was in place for a good, attractive football match. Fran was left out of the team as Irureta opted for the tandem Sergio/Mauro Silva, while Tristan once again was given a chance. Riazor saw the best entrance of the season with only some seats not being covered. FIRST HALF The first minutes of the match already indicated that both teams wanted to play good football and neither side refrained from attacking. Barcelona seemed to have more initiative at the start and even could have taken an early lead when Saviola found Molina on his way. But Deportivo responded with an opportunity of Diego Tristan, after which the match went from left to right. After fifteen minutes Deportivo started to dominate more and created several dangerous situations. One was crucial when Tristan was fouled in the box by Cocu after 20 minutes. But referee Tristante Oliva, who helped Real Madrid so much by giving them an injury-time present in the shape of a penalty when they were 0-1 behind against Valencia, wanted to avoid another decision like this. Once again, where Real Madrid were given help Deportivo did not got a penalty when they deserved one. A nervous Tristante was close and well placed but didn’t dare to take the decision. After 38 minutes Diego Tristan claimed another penalty although this didn’t look like one. Well, if one applies the logic of football. As Tristante Oliva was so helpful to Madrid two weeks ago he might as well have been now to Deportivo. (翻出上上一轮就用过的草人 你这烂残判 有没有搞错啊!) But football is cruel. Just when Deportivo got into the match and could have deserved the first goal, Barcelona struck through Ronaldinho. This amazing Brazilian found the net with a header after a free kick of Xavi found him. After this goal Deportivo seemed hurt and didn’t react. Instead, Barcelona didn’t relax and added a second as this time Saviola had to thank Xavi for providing him with a goal. SECOND HALF Irureta reacted during the break by taking off Victor Sanchez and Diego Tristan and replaced them by Fran and Walter Pandiani. The Basque coach of Deportivo wanted to bring some fresh blood into the team although Barcelona struck again within three minutes. In a quick counterattack of Luis Garcia and Saviola it was Ronaldinho who struck his second goal of the night to bring Deportivo a difficult task. Although he might have been in an off-side position, it was evident that the home team needed some kind of come-back they had on March 7, 2001 when Paris-Saint Germain were beaten 4-3 after a 0-3 score. But as Pandiani scored three goals in that match, there was reason for hope. And he soon repaid the confidence Irureta finally put in him. Pandiani scored with two headers, after assists of Romero, and after 56 minutes it was a match again. There was more than half a hour to play and Deportivo were launching attack after attack. Fran and Valeron connected well and the crowd got behind the team. The match got even more emotional when after 75 minutes Brazilian midfielder Motta of FC Barcelona was sent off. After some minutes into the second half Motta was given a yellow card after his colleague Cocu had made a foul. Now, once again referee Tristante Oliva proved to be incapable of leading such a top match as also this time it wasn’t Motta who made the foul, but Oleguer. Luque then made an incredible miss after he was presented a golden opportunity by Sergio. But the former Barcelona youth player caused an incredible miss and indicated that it wasn’t going to be Deportivo’s night. Instead, Barcelona kept being very dangerous as Gabri and Xavi, as the midfielder hit the bar, could have sentenced the match. AFTER THE MATCH Deportivo did all they can, and played a good match, but found a great opponent in front of them. Barcelona seem to have been recovered from some years of deception after they won their sixth consecutive Liga match, this time in Riazor. Besides, it was their first win in La Coruna since January 4, 1997 when a Pizzi goal was enough to beat Deportivo 0-1. The thing is that earlier that night Valencia were beaten at Espanyol (0-1) while even Celta could dominate a match in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid. Unfortunately the team of Quieroz bounced back to win 4-2, but all this indicated that the top teams of the Liga are beatable. Unfortunately it concerned Deportivo also. Instead of climbing near the top, and taking the second place, Deportivo remain third and see Barcelona closing in on just four points now. Valencia are second with 51 points and occupy the place that gives a right to enter the Champions League directly. Deportivo and Barcelona respectively have 50 points and 46 points and occupy places that give the right to play pre-round Champions League matches. The next match of Deportivo will be on Saturday at Valencia, meaning that another opportunity will arise to conquer the second place. Three days later Juventus will be waiting in Italy. http://www.deportivo-la-coruna.com/pics/regular/Luque_082.jpg http://www.deportivo-la-coruna.com/pics/regular/Luque_081.jpg Marca那张最催泪... 这篇文章的标题 除了说 这场比赛很疯狂 我更觉得 裁判一定是个神经病(精神病) 反正他有病... 对不起 我不是故意要人身攻击的 可是我真的很怒 非常怒 (转身继续摧残草人) --
