Wayne Rooney<\/a>, believing the pair form the “perfect passing relationship”.<\/span><\/p>\nThe England international had a disappointing first half of the 2010-11 campaign but has been in form in recent weeks, and the Marseille coach feels the forward’s understanding with his Mexican partner could be the key to beating Barcelona in the Champions League final.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cUnited defend very well and attack very sharply,\u201d said Deschamps in an interview with Uefa.com<\/em>. \u201cTheir plus point for this final will be Wayne Rooney because he is less tired than the others; he can make the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n“As well as being able to play in four different positions, he never makes a mistake with his distribution of the ball. He also has great\u00a0stamina and aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe relationship between Rooney and ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez\u00a0impresses me; in terms of movement, the latter is awesome. They always know where the other one is; it is a perfect passing relationship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nMarseille lost 2-1 on aggregate to United in the round of 16 of Europe\u2019s premier club competition this season, but Deschamps says that Barcelona will provide Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s side with a tougher test.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI prefer Barca because attacking play is the aim of football; getting the right\u00a0result by having more possession than your opponent,\u201d explained the 42-year-old. \u201cThey have played together for five, six,\u00a0seven or\u00a0eight years now. They are steeped in this style of game, it’s natural to them.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWatching their movement\u00a0on the pitch, you can only marvel at how they manage to instill their way of playing into players from all backgrounds \u2013 it is an impressive feat. Barca are strong in the middle with players like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, and then spectacular attackers like Lionel Messi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nUnderlining the difference in style between the two European giants, Deschamps, a Champions League winner with both Marseille and Juventus, opined: \u201cBarcelona and Manchester are great teams, the best in the world, with two different styles but one obsession, one aim: having the ball at their feet.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWith Barcelona, it’s fabulous; with United, it’s more controlled. The English side, unlike the Catalonian outfit, don’t mind coming under pressure \u2013 they can hold their place 30 metres from their goal line, lying\u00a0in wait, and when they launch a counterattack, they are devilishly precise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nLink:
