The Barça of Luis Enrique will look for to move away this Thursday the ghosts of the final of the World-wide of Clubs of 2006, when the combined of Frank Rijkaard saw surprised by the International of Carry Cheerful, and will go out to by all in the crash of semifinals of the World-wide of Clubs of Japan 2015 against the Guangzhou Evergrande, a team that under the orders of Luiz Felipe Scolari has not lost any party from the month of May and that gave the surprise deleting in quarter-finals of the intercontinental tournament to the America of Mexico, the rival that in theory foresaw like favourite to contest a place in the final with the Barcelona, with a goal of Paulinho in the injury time.

Precisely the ex of Corinthians and Tottenham is one of the greater dangers of the Guangzhou Evergrande, beside the Brazilians Elkeson, Ricardo Goulart and Robinho that faces his enésima international adventure since it left Europe. The ex technician of the Beijing Guoan, Gregorio Manzano, already warned does few days that the valid champion of the Superliga of China has one of the most powerful staff of the Asian football, but the one who more, with a big majority of players that well would be qualified to play in competitive European teams, in addition to a solid block of Chinese footballers the majority of which are summoned with frequency for the selection.

The case is that the Guangzhou is not in semifinals of the World-wide of Clubs 2015 by chance, and the ones of Luis Enrique know it. The technical body of the FC Barcelona has been preparing to consciousness with the players the party from this past Monday, already without trace of the "jet-lag" of the trip until Asian earths and with the convencimiento that, if they are not all to the maximum level, will not be easy to delete to a Guangzhou that faces the most important party of his history with maximum illusion. In the retina of the culés is still the unexpected tie against the Sportive in the Camp Nou the past weekend, the clearest proof that any distraction or loss of concentration against groups of this profile can condemn to the in this case favourite team "", although the favouritisms win playing the ninety minutes and being better that the opponent.

The Commission of Referees of the FIFA has designated to the trio of CONCACAF formed by Joel Aguilar -main referee- of Mexico, Juan Zumba of The Saviour and Marvin Torrentera like attendants to give justice on the lawn of the Nissan Stadium of Yokohama. The players of the Barça had some hours of free time this past Tuesday to clear the mind before the dispute of the party, that will broadcast all over the world and for which all the staff is already fully consciousness. "This title is missing me, and want it", said Jordi Alba in some recent statements conceded after the training of the Tuesday, giving clear sample of the ambition culé.

Neymar Jr Will be the big absence of the semifinals of the World-wide of Clubs of Japan for the Barça, although it foresees that it can be in a hypothetical final next Sunday 20 December. The place of the Brazilian could occupy it in front of the Guangzhou Sergi Roberto, that already played in position of extreme in front of the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu. Once again, however, Luis Suárez and Leo Messi will be those who will carry the baton of the FC Barcelona in attack, with a centre of the field and a defence of gala and the presence in the goal of Ter Stegen or Claudio Bravo, to election of Luis Enrique. To few hours so that the balloon throw to film, the "Operation Red Dragon" already has begun.
