As well as the action in the field and the objectives that have seeded in abundance the encounter between the Blues and the Blaugrana, the personages that participated have turned into heroes and villains. The behavior of Jose Mourinho after its return to the Camp Nou with the Club of London saw labellings like ” enemy of soccer ‘ by the UEFA as he forced a high qualification referee to resign after some impertinent commentaries. The Portuguese head also criticized what he considered ‘ teatro’ , when Lionel Messi and Asier Of the Furnace faced in another tie, whereas Victor Buckets affirmed that he received the lack of a main target that he brought about controversy in Catalonia. 1999-2000 Whereas Mourinho could have used the stage of great effect, the histrionismo outside field is not required when the parts were matched in the final trimester of Champions 1999-2000 of the league. Both clubs already had played 12 parties to arrive at the quarters of end of the competition that appear two stages of the group when they were matched in a drawing that the Chelsea plays in house in the away game. There was much controversy, but it was not going to be a great surprise that the hosts were not still in the level with whom they are associate at present and their mean efficiency in Stamford high Bridge the level expectations. Gianfranco Zola put the blue ones ahead before a double of Tor Andre Flo before the rest put the equipment of London in the control and it does not seem to have any way from return to Barcelona. But a goal of Luis Figo saw the Blaugrana revive the hope and in the Camp Nou that was used like source of inspiration like Rivaldo, Figo and Dani all put grates on to take in time extra game after Flo has returned to find the network for the Chelsea. The hosts had the impetus with them and Rivaldo marked from the point before Patrick Kluivert added a fifth creation of semi ties end that the Catalan club would lose against the Valencia. 2004-05 Five years later and the things saw very different as the Chelsea de Mourinho had risen with the title of the Premier League and now it has determined his interest to taking to the club to the European glory. A year after to have made its name gain Liga de Campeones with the Oporto, the abrupt trainer era to return to a club where it had enjoyed a learning by virtue of Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal. Received in the airport in Catalonia with fans to reprimand it with shouts of ” traductor” , the paper that thinks that he is better, was not unexpected, when trying to on- turn the heat into the accumulation by being indicated the possibilities of victory of the Chelsea. Barcelona was beginning to leave a period of six years without gaining a trophy and was of return in Liga de Campeones after one season happened trying to be successful in the Glass of the UEFA. Frank Rijkaard was quite the opposite of the trainer Blues and preferred to stay to the margin of the interchange of insults that have been derived had responded to some of the commentaries of Mourinho. However, the head of the Chelsea returned his attention towards the referee day and accused the Anders Frisk highly valued to speak with Rijkaard in the interval of the going defeat of the Chelsea in the Camp Nou. That accusation has enormous consequences in the Daily Day received threats of death of people who claim to be fans of the Chelsea and, only months after arriving was struck by an object in a party of Rome, decided to leave of arbitration. Chelsea lost 2-1 with goals of Maxi Lopez and Samuel Eto’ or, after to have lead through an own objective Juliano Belletti, but this almost was forgotten in the middle of the scandal. Didier Drogba was expelled in that encounter and the scene seemed established at the top for the Blaugrana to London through the facility, with Eto’ or, that indicates that if its equipment wrote down in the tie next, all would have finished. Mourinho did not agree and the word of Stamford Bridge was that its equipment ‘ aplastar’ Barça, but very few really is hoped much less that happens and thought Chelsea would be of three goals of advantage with less than 20 minutes of the missing person. Eidur Gudjohnsen, Frank Lampard and Damien Duff all to be compensated like the rampante Chelsea, but its mood changed quickly when Ronaldinho produced one of the objectives of the season, foot-it put since them to house from the edge of the area after to have reduced the delays of the pain in situ. If Barcelona wrote down the encounter again would have been of more, but there was time for a great turn in the tail of Buckets was blocked by a defender of the Chelsea in the line and John Terry lost the ball in a corner shot reason why he turned out to be the goal of the victory. If the Catalan doorman received a lack or it is not a question that was triggered, but rather the holders were realised after Rijkaard and several players of the Barça had to be contained after pitido final like frustrations boiling. Whereas the blue ones arrived at the semifinal of that season and was eliminated by the Liverpool with a goal of Luis Garci’a, who Mourinho still became infuriated to point today, the Barça did not have to wait for long time to take revenge its loss. 2005-06 If the Blaugrana has been irritated by the Chelsea, and his manager, in particular, next, in the round of the eighth of end 2005-06 first of all, Londoners she was apoplexy head after a defeat of going in Stamford Bridge. It was not as much the defeat that had irritated to Mourinho like a red card that Of the Furnace in first half after it entered Messi, with a returned challenge that left the Argentinean giving in the field. The game was going to be a story of two goals in own; Thiago Motta overcame Cech in an end, before Terry agreed with the head the ball Buckets happened in second half in the other. Eto’ or it showed the great joy that the equipment of all Barcelona felt to the blow on the head the goal of the triumph in the going, and Mourinho went to the press and it complained bitterly. To ask how ” is said; engañar” in Catalan, it pointed his poison at Messi and famous it added: ” Messi can be suspended by the action? Barcelona is a cultural city with many great theaters and this boy has learned very well. ” has learned comedy;. Messi responded that he not ” to do teatro” , but it was clear that Argentina is pleased of to have had an effect on Mourinho, and is not good in that. In the return match, the things were a little calmer and Mourinho were few complaints of Ronaldinho after produced a mammoth effort to put above to its side two in the global one. After trying to do the same in his party of the previous league, the director maintained his players in clothes during several minutes later the Barça had gone to the field, but the trick did not work. A pain the time of discount of Frank Lampard was not sufficient so that the Blues and while they were going to gain the title of the Premier League, the Barça arrived at Paris, where it defeated to Arsenal to raise the Glass of Europe for the second time in his history.

The Juventus has demonstrated of having great confidence in he making grandissimo an investment in summer and not creed that has intention to sell it”. Not to exchange it with Van Persie, one of the great protagonists of the Prime Minister, champion who to the leaders juventini is always piaciuto.

Difficult to find a companion that of it speaks badly. And in this case it does not seem the usual a little hypocritical diplomacy: the esteem regarding Diego is authentic from the Juventus, understanding as square before still that society. “He is an authentic champion. It deserves confidence. It must dargli the time to get used”. Words, but also made, because same Diego feels this confidence also on the field. Tant’è that the thing the inorgoglisce has made and to know it the companions. A speech with the heart, through which it has ringraziato the companions of the support whom they continue to dargli, the whose juice in extreme synthesis sound more or less thus: they are aware that some time is not to the height of the expectations and I do not succeed to render to the hundreds for hundreds, but I will in any case try to repay this confidence that fairies to feel to me.

DELICATE MOMENT – You call it, if you want, “promised” to the dressing room, siglata in a particularly delicate moment, with the substitutions of Zaccheroni that sting it the pride and the voices of market (the exchange with Ribery) that they make to rimbombare the feeling of the disappointment tied to its performances of this season. The wish to react from Diego is highest, refrained from the physical fatigue and lies them after to have played without solution of continuity from the beginning of a not easy vintage year under every point of view. Stress it is not lacked and this – Zaccheroni assures also, that it has studied give close the problem has sure recorded.

The FABLE – Fatigue or not, Diego dies from the wish to repay the heat of the companions, to sweep via the critics, the doubts and the voices of market. The Platinum fables, Zidane and Nedved, ugly become ducklings swans in the course of their first season to the Juventus the continuous one to inspire and even if, by now, already we have arrived to March and some piuma white woman would have to be already dulled, it does not surrender and assaults the challenge against the Fiorentina with the grinta of who has something of important to say and to demonstrate.

The CHARACTER – Words from leader. On the other hand it never has not pulled itself behind and has always demonstrated to a discreet personality in facing the engagements. The week, empty – ahilui! – from engagements with the national one it has allowed it to recharge the batteries. From the physical point of view it has carried out a job detail and specifically studied for he from the staff of Zaccheroni: the objective era fargli to recover a little of energies, cultivating some the brilliance. From the psychological point of view, it has had the support of the companions and the deriving charge having seen the Seleçao in television to one hundred days from the World-wide one. It, like Of the Piero that this evening will try still to duettare as it has succeeded in way much effective one against the Genoa, still believes of being able itself to play a place in South Africa. Dunga, at least to words, it holds the opened door, but it must make something of eclatante in order to succeed in entrarvi.
