The break always seems to pass quickly. Chen Zhong hasn't signed his contract yet, and the new league match is already upon us.
This time, the team's opponent is "Super Laco" Deportivo La Coruña. Schuster is still using the 442 formation. In this match, Chen Zhong and Guti are paired as the dual midfielders, with Higuain and Robinho on the flanks, and Cannavaro and Metzelder on defense.
The goalkeeper remains Casillas. This year, Casillas and Raul both made it into the 50 candidates for the Ballon d'Or. It is Raul's tenth time entering the Ballon d'Or candidate list.
This year is also the most Spanish players have been included in the top 50 list since 2004. In the Barcelona team, Messi is the player most likely to win the Ballon d'Or, and Deco has openly voiced his support for Messi.
However, Ronaldinho from the same team supports Kaka instead, and Messi himself said in a media interview, "Of course, I dream of winning the Ballon d'Or one day."
