上一季結束後
巴塞隆納的報紙曾做過調查問巴薩迷
他們覺得巴薩那個球員少了不行
Deco在小羅之後排第二喔
今年的比賽似乎也說民了他的重要性
尤其是Xavi不在時更明顯.........
這篇文章的後面有一段點出了他其實才是巴薩最硬的男人(羞)

Deco delight for Barcelona
Friday, 24 February 2006
by Michael Harrold
from Stamford Bridge
The muddy surface, a dirty tricks campaign, psychological war;
the press room was rife with intrigue going in to the match.
After it, more controversy, this time focused on the sending-off
of Asier del Horno. When Chelsea FC and FC Barcelona meet, nothing
is as it seems.
Star turn
With so many column inches devoted to the build-up of this heady
re-match of last season's thrilling UEFA Champions League tie,
Chelsea v Barca the sequel had much to live up. A new face had
even been added to the mix, Lionel Messi now sharing top billing
with Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o in Barcelona's all-star cast.
Messi was the star turn, his power, pace and skill the bane of
the Chelsea defence. The man who put him in the spotlight time
and again, though, enjoyed more than just a supporting role.
Industry
Deco's brief was large, and crucial to Barca's eventual 2-1 success.
He filled the considerable gap between their attacking triumverate
and the protective shell Edmilson and Thiago Motta formed in front
of the back four. At times he pushed so far forward Barcelona looked
to be playing 4-2-4, at others he tackled back, eager to retrieve
the ball and kickstart another attack. He drifted wide out right
then back inside, stretching Chelsea's normally dominant midfield.
His industry and workrate kept Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele
on the back foot. The speed of passing, short and sharp, knocked
Chelsea out of their rhythm and disproved the myth that the pitch
would influence the result. Nothing could stop Deco or Barcelona
in this mood.
Patience
The main battleground was the territory in front of the Chelsea
back four that Makelele normally makes his own. Deco dared invade
this space, looking to pull the Frenchman out of position and expose
Chelsea's rearguard. Regardless of how tightly marked he was, Deco
was forever seeking the ball, invariably it found its way to him.
Never rushed as he waited for an opening, at times Deco's touch was
sublime. Hemmed in by John Terry and Lampard he held the ball just
long enough for Messi to time his run then flicked it with the
outside of his right boot for the youngster to latch on to as he
burst into the area. Messi squared his pass and both Eto'o then
Ronaldinho contrived to miss with the goal gaping.
Deco delivers
More telling was Deco’s pass on 37 minutes. This time Makelele
was drawn towards the right touchline where the Portuguese midfielder
sent Messi racing into space down the right. Arjen Robben tracked back
but was no match for the powerful Argentinian, who was bundled to the
floor by a clumsy Del Horno. The Spanish defender was sent off, Chelsea's
hopes of making home advantage count seriously diminished. Ronaldinho and
Eto'o, who had filled the back pages in the build-up to the match,
had hardly featured, but the game had already turned decisively in
Barcelona's favour.
Lampard frustration
When Lampard marched down the pitch, pointing his finger in consternation
at Deco early in the second half, it was clear the Barcelona playmaker had
worked his way under Chelsea's skin. For Deco it was a happy reunion with
former manager Jose Mourinho and Blues defenders Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo
Ferreira. All four shared UEFA Champions League success with FC Porto two
years ago. Deco pulled the strings for Mourinho en route to Porto’s triumph
in Gelsenkirchen and is on course to do so again, this time for Barcelona.
Open door
If anything, coach Frank Rijkaard suggested afterwards, Chelsea's opening
goal released tension and allowed his side to play with more freedom. Space
began to open up as the extra man began to tell, and when Ronaldinho moved
inside Chelsea's resistance finally crumbled; the cavalry had arrived.
Ronaldinho's swerving cross was deflected in by Terry, Messi struck the
crossbar then finally Eto'o stole in to head in the winner. "With ten men
it's difficult to close the door all the time," Mourinho said. "Sometimes
the door has to open." Deco's quiet promptings had found the key; his
team-mates would eventually use it.
'Deco, Deco'
Barca’s fans knew as much. When Rijkaard brought Deco off five
minutes from time, his job well done, they rose as one. "Deco,
Deco," they chanted as he slowly made his way to the touchline.
Eto'o, Messi and Ronaldinho would again share the plaudits; for
the second successive season controversy would swirl around a
Chelsea sending-off; but away from the headline writers' gaze,
Deco had told a very different story.
