Barcelona president Laporta rubbishes Chelsea, Man Utd style

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 07:45

Barcelona president Joan Laporta took a swipe at Chelsea after last night's Champions League shock.

Laporta stressed that Barca deserved to reach the final because of the style of football they play.

"It's not just luck. It's a sort of justice because football loves football," said Laporta. "We played first class football in both games and deserved to win."

The Barca president then attacked final opponents Manchester United.

"The final will be a clash between two different styles. Manchester, similar to that of Chelsea, and ours, which is a football that is based on talent, control, performance and effort. Let's see how it works against Manchester."

Man U had a dodgy patch for a couple of games after not conceding a goal in 3 months. it happens to all. before we had a wobbler barca did as well. playing rubbish and shipping goals for a few games before pulling through it. I don't think that the normal Blaugrana made those comments as he normally seems fairly intelligent. So whoever wrote that last load of garbage clearly knows nothing about football aside from J**rking off fantasising over Barca players. As for selling Pique for just 7m - we took him from you for nothing anyway so it is all profit from our side and he had a chance to get into the first team at barca with the frenchman retiring but not so much opportunity at Man U with Rio and Vidic the best centre back pairing in the world. Plus Evra is better than Abidal. You have Alves now but Rafa is shaping up nicely for a kid and him and his brother will be great. In midfield you have some talent there with Xavi and Iniesta. But I am happy enough with Carrick, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Park, Scholes and Giggs as options available. Up front yeah you have Messi, Henry and Eto'o who have had a great season but we have Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and Tevez and I would be very happy if you underestimate them as they will punish you. Last season Rooney, ronaldo and tevez scored over 80 goals between them so not so much difference. I saw your former hero Koeman talking about how brilliant rooney is. Intelligent, skilfull, powerful, quick and with a will to win like Roy Keane. Aside from the usual Messi & ronaldo love in anyone in spain who underestimates Rooney is pretty stupid. then again most of you lot believe the garbage that Marca/As and Sport publish everyday. Those papers make the Sun and Mirror look like a fountain of truth and wisdom

Barca could not manage a shot on target nd won cuz of the ref and also cuz chelsea became satisfied with 1 goal and were laid back.What is this talk that football loved football and barca deservin 2 win . They had fewer chances and fewer shots on goal - da reason - Chelsea were da better team.tell me how can any team hav 1 shot on target in da whole game when enjoyin 60% possesion. It just shows da true quality of Barca's Attack. .Whatever happens, if rooney and co r uninjured and on form , Barca will hav no chance watsover
