                                         Henry: Tek se trebam prilagoditi

U razgovoru sa španjolskim novinarima Thierry Henry je rekao kako se postepeno prilagođava na španjolski nogomet nakon što je ovog ljeta iz Arsenala preselio u Barcelonu.

Henry u Barceloninom 4-3-3 sustavu za sada najčešće igra na lijevoj strani napada, a svoj jedini gol, u Ligi prvaka protiv Lyona, postigao je sa pozicije centralnog napadača, na koju ne navikao u Arsenalu.

"Kada igrate na strani morate biti više nego spremni. Morate konstantno ići naprijed - nazad i ponekad pomagati braniču. Moram se ponovno na to naviknuti." rekao je 30-godšnji nogometaš, kojega je Arsene Wenger sa pozicije krilnog napadača prebacio u samo srce napada.

"Još uvijek nisam 100% spreman, tako da nije uvijek lako igrati. Ali, ako trener traži od vas da igrate lijevo ili desno, onda to morate igratu. To je jednostavno tako." dodaje Henry.

Nije samo pozicijana terenu novi izazov za Henrya, ima tu i nekih drugih stvari: "Ne postavljam sebi nikakve ciljeve. Ono što želim je učiti, a moram naučiti brzo kako Barcelona igra. U engleskom nogometu lopta puno brže putuje prema napadaču, ovdje morate biti strpljivi. To će doći s vremenom i igranjem. Za napadača je ovo potpuno drugačiji način igre, igra je više bazirana na igračima koji igraju sa strane. Moram se tome prilagoditi."

Ako je Henryev napredak u utakmicama pomalo i usporen, u ostatku vremena u potpunosti uživa u novom okruženju, kao što sugeriraju fotografije sa treninga, na kojima se smije sa tinejdžerima Dos Santosom i Krkićem. Obojica mladića su na bivšeg Topnika ostavili sjajan utisak, koji u sjećanju ima puno situacija u kojima su se 17-godišnji nogometaši probijali u momčadi Monaca, a posebno Arsenala.

"Uvijek sam govorio da godine u nogometu nisu važne. Ako ste dovoljno dobri - igrate, a ako igrate u Barceloni sa 16 godina, onda ste više nego dobri. Rijetko sam u karijeri viđao igrače poput Bojana. Gledao sam ga kako igra na Europskom prvenstvu za reprezentacije do 17 godina i pomislio 'dobar je, ali tek mu je 16 godina'. Onda sam ga vidio kako igra sa nama i pomislio 'spreman je'." dodaje Henry.

Ali, kaže Henry, čak i Krkić ima puno toga za proći prije nego što dosegne status najvećeg ljubimca publike, kakav trenutno uživa Lionel Messi: "Leo je nevjerojatan. Ako bude dovoljno pažljiv, otvoren mu je put ka vrhu svijeta i bit će na vrhu dugi niz godina."

Barcelona Seek Award For 1937 Liga 

As civil war raged in Spain, football continued, at least partially. In 1937, the east coast, largely controlled by the Spanish Republic, played host to its own tournaments. And Barcelona wish for the RFEF to recognise the league that they won that year...


Barcelona may seek to be awarded a formal title by the RFEF (Spanish FA) for their 1937 Liga Lliga Mediterranean/Liga Mediterránea victory.

Following the news that Levante have been given permission to celebrate that year's Cup competition, the Copa de la España Libre, as an official title, Barcelona wish to do the same for the league contest.

It is thought that president Joan Laporta (pictured) supports the idea. However, there remain complications.

Originally, the Copa which Levante won was set to be a mini-league for the top four finishers in the Mediterranean, of which Barcelona - being league winners - were one.

However, Barcelona instead opted to go on a tour of Mexico and the USA, league title already in hand, leaving Valencia, Espanyol and Girona to battle it out. (Curiously, Levante - eventual winners - were late additions to the contest, being 5th in the Lliga.)

Nonetheless, many in Catalonia feel that this historical oddity may play in Barcelona's favour: after all, Levante was drafted into the competition as a replacement for the winner - implying that a winner exists.

One Catalan sports historian, Carles Santacana, put it succinctly: "It's evident that if one competition was to be recognised by the RFEF, then the other must be, too, either as the Mediterranean League or with another name.

"What is not possible is that between 1926 and 1939 there were no competitions contested."

The Catalan FA supports any potential Barcelona bid.

The Lliga Mediterranean contained eight teams, each playing the other once at home and away. Barcelona won with 20 points (on the basis of 2 points for a win), with Espanyol on 19, and Girona and Valencia on 17.

Levante finished with 16, while the chasing pack comprised Gimnastico - now a part of Levante - with 10, Granollers with 8, and Atletico Castellon with 5.

Berlusconi: Barca Will Never Sell Ronaldinho
Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has conceded that it will be impossible to ever prize Ronaldino away from Barcelona.

The Brazilian has been the subject of much media debate over recent weeks, with claims that Milan and Chelsea were ready to swoop for the superstar.

Ronaldino is believed to have his differences with Barca Coach Frank Rijkaard and problems with his contract. Ronnie also missed the Catalan club’s last two league games with Sevilla and Zaragoza, further fuelling speculation that he was set to leave.   

However after Wednesday’s victory over Zaragoza, Barcelona issued an official statement, declaring that the 2002 World Cup winner was going nowhere.

"In the face of the avalanche of information and opinions about the absence of first-team player Ronaldinho from the last two league games, Barcelona wishes to clarify that the absence of the player is strictly medical,” read the announcement.

“Ronaldinho is considered a basic piece of the current sporting project, and as such, there are no plans other than for his continuity in the first team.

"It seems that Berlusconi has finally accepted that his dream of luring Ronaldinho to San Siro is an impossibility.

“Ronaldinho? Barcelona will never sell him,” the ex Italian prime minister told Roberto Maroni.
