Hattrick against Valencia!

April 23rd, 2011 • Club news, News about Gonzalo1 Comment »

The Real Madrid Valencia received the hallway making recognition of his recent victory in the final of the Copa del Rey. Both had to like the figure on Emery’s men held the courtesy and kindness to his illustrious visitor to the end. Delivered to the contemplative life, the Valencia players attended a festival on the part of Madrid, to a lesson from his second unit, each alternate display many of which are in alignment for Madrid not all fit on the starting lineup. The corridor eventually become a tour of the Deputies of Madrid to holders of third place in the Spanish league. This fact should serve us to reflect on the situation in which lives badly this competition, quite unbalanced.

Real had the same ambition, intensity, commitment and focus on each of the minutes of the game. His voracity not calmed goals and was an example of behavior that many were waiting on the hammer raised to strike him for showing no mercy at the Mestalla with a lineup in which only Casillas and Carvalho were starters in the Cup final can not be doubt that there wardrobe on this computer, another thing is the use hitherto made of it.

Moral rearmament after Cup triumph, freed from much of the pressure that has followed him during the course, but without losing the tension, Madrid ran over his opponent with a direct electric football. His lightning-quick counter-attacks, some of them manual, found no answer in Valencia, which has now turned into a toy tossed without mercy. The mother does not need an elaborate game, or long possession. Overwhelmed their opponents and finished the race running over with goals. With his big personality devoured a cramped and timid Valencia.

The destruction led to the signing Valencia Higuain, with a hat-trick and two assists, Benzema and Kaka, who made a double and galloped with joy unknown. The generosity of Valencia was the best remedy for medical problems and Brazilian football, ever since I saw the shirt of Real Madrid found so many facilities to rebuild their old figure and remember the player he once was. Goals from Soldier, and Jordi Alba Jonas did not go from being a story, a simple data for statistics.

To get an idea of ​​the magnitude of the humiliation to which submitted the Madrid to Valencia only to note the alignment with the one presented at the Mestalla. Albiol and the squad newcomer Nacho occupied the sides, with Garay and Carvalho forming the central couple. Ahead of them stood Lass, with Barn on the right, left channels and Kaka ahead of them all. Above, a couple devastating, Higuain and Benzema.

Any doubts that might offer this line disappeared when the ball started rolling and Madrid was left without an opponent to be measured. There was no discussion possible, and before leaving the locker room Madrid had already settled the match. Went into halftime with a 0-4 as forceful as indisputable. Benzema checked first 20 minutes with a shot against the crossbar and from there came a flood of goals as Valencia drowned.

Benzema scored the first after a pass by Higuain and that Guaita not measure it in the output. The Argentine put his signature to the second after chasing Mathieu awaiting the ruling of the French. Higuain found his prize when the side claimed that Guaita cogiera the ball and what he did was to invite Argentina to score.

In Madrid crecidísimo, overflowing with confidence and Valencia with more questions than ever before, dropped two more. A great combination of Benzema, Higuain and Brazilian Kaka culminated with the third in the afternoon. A manual backlash Madrid, started with a great pass from Kaka Lass, ended the quarter of Madrid, Higuain work to pass from Brazilian midfielder. In between came after Valencia’s only response throughout the first half, a shot that cleared Banega Casillas.

No respite either Madrid to Valencia in the second half, which began with a pass from Kaka for the Argentine Higuain completed his hat-trick. Began to make up the result of measurement fata Soldier to time, but just smile Valencianism took three minutes to erase Kaka, who after a ‘pipe’ to beat Stankevicius Guaita. Wonderful Brazilian individual action.

Then it was time to save even more efforts in the visitor side. Xabi Alonso, Christian and replaced Pedro León Canales, Higuain and Garay and what should have improved the figure of Madrid he did was break it down. Madrid fell apart somewhat in the center and doubted in some defensive maneuvers, which took Valencia to Jordi Alba Jonas and scored two further goals.

Simple makeup this time it serves to hide the wrinkles, much less the terrible humiliation suffered at the hands of a great Real Madrid. www.williamhill.com offers you great odds on Real Madrid matches, you can try it out.

Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona

April 17th, 2011 • Club news1 Comment »

In many ways, yesterday’s game was perfect for Mourinho, not thrashed out, avoided defeat and ended with ten players, which he feeds the discourse for the next few days. Real Madrid coach rightly complain because Alves had to be sent off in the penalty Marcelo, but that fact does not justify his approach, very similar to that deployed with Inter on his visit to Camp Nou. He then explained that his scheme was influenced by the expulsion of Motta (28 ‘) and this time you might say ahead of the destination and played as if directed to field ten players visitor. The other perspective, subversive certainly suggests that Barcelona still sentenced the league, after tying a match deservedly dominated for long minutes as I had thought.

But Let us place ourselves in the first minute exposure intentions. The idea of ​​Madrid was basic, if not prehistoric, wait, biting and stealing and, once recovered the ball long to launch Christian or Di Maria. Xabi and Khedira converted quarterbacks and other athletes. Real Madrid fans that there were satisfied to learn that there was a plan, even as petty as this: rugby or pieces. As an orphan has come to feel the love, so in need of a guide is that any way you look good if you do not return, as every year, the starting line.

Possession. Barca took a few minutes to absorb this approach. Leader visited the Bernabeu as Madrid advantaged and gave him the ball and field. At times, the situation was Kafkaesque. If Barcelona had not crossed midfield, the game had ended in a goalless disconcerting. However, the ship crossed the line, and made between the boos from the stadium, most of which has ended up part of the schizophrenia of the coach. Quarter hour, the possession of the visitor and reached 81%, which at one time had more than enough as an argument to dismiss the coach.

In the end, Mourinho had decided that the team’s image was that of Peter, as Pepe, fierce marker in midfield, he became a major player in the scheme. For several minutes Messi scored the man, something like what he did last season when Almería placed on Xavi Chico, you will remember. Nobody thought then Hugo Sanchez, technical visitor, as a shrewd strategist and innovative. Quite the contrary.

Should be recognized that Pepe overwhelmed Messi stole a number of balls and a few splintered shin. Ie fulfilled. It is also true that Real Madrid went three or four times and had drawn his coach, firing arrows Di Maria and Christian. That led to five corner kicks and a couple of fouls on Cristiano frontal chute with different risk. In a corner, precisely, was the best local chance, a header by Cristiano (44 ‘) aborted by Adriano in the same goal line.

In return, the club dominated with relish, with little depth, but mature slowly, making progress on each attack. At 18 ‘, Casillas prevented Messi scored twice in his only forays behind the plants. At 28 ‘, Villa was shot down by Iker and the referee missed the penalty. The play was based on that which claimed the Madrid in the first round, and Valdes Christian protagonists.

As shown, two radically different systems offered similar returns to rest. But the question should be whether Madrid has invested 80 million this season (coach included), to behave as a junior team in the field, to assume so clearly his inferiority to Barcelona, ​​to give up football and submitted to the spirited of his players and the peculiar growth of grass, higher than at other times, or maybe it was an optical illusion.

It is possible that this question has been discarded by Real Madrid for the benefit of immediate success, what they call resultadista; win anyway, but to win. The problem at the moment is that yesterday was not won.

But to go. Back of the wardrobe, the party seemed more turned on. Cristiano crashed into the pole a foul and the return of the seized Albiol played Villa into the area to prevent the plants only to Casillas. The referee pointed to the penalty and drove to the defense without anyone doing too much fuss. Messi converted the penalty.

Change. With one less player and the result against Real Madrid had no choice but to appeal to the heroic, or put another way, he had no other solution than to behave as he often does on Madrid’s stadium. Attacking the heart, with pride and with people. Take the initiative, take risks, play football.

Never had a harder time Barca. And the transformation of Madrid coincided with the entry of Özil, the star had been marginalized in favor of the scheme beginning battleship. Stirred the team and freed from the chains, Marcelo went up the left wing causing panic and one of its arreones led to the penalty of Alves, also very clear and worthy of a card, either yellow (second) or red. Muñiz Fernández was wrong to not show it and while loaded revolver drum Mourinho.

Cristiano was a draw and both Madrid and Barcelona are traded punches and counter. Khedira could get the second after a fielder’s Özil formidable, but shot centered and perhaps overwhelmed by responsibility.

In this final section was who said that Barcelona is not as in the past, and it is very true. However, it serves as consolation also should apply to lament the missed opportunity, not having shaken the tree with more emphasis. There will be more opportunities, however, three in particular. And those who think that Mourinho has it all planned state that yesterday was the first part of a general idea, Machiavellian and deadly. Perhaps they are right. Maybe your players run twice to hide, to lay the perfect trap, in which some have already fallen.

Real Madrid – Barcelona

April 16th, 2011 • Club newsNo Comments »

Put the pieces on the board, the first consideration is that Real Madrid and Barcelona face the game tonight without holding anything back, as if there were world behind Cup final tomorrow or next Wednesday. That generosity (apparent) at the time of raising the battle is great news for the show, but it at least intriguing. Hard to believe how fine strategists as Mourinho and Guardiola, when face four Classics, have not distinguished between them and other parties. And today should be the least important of them all, especially for the club, unless we think that each meeting will be sports and emotionally connected to the next, or unless the plan, savage and primitive, is none other than the annihilation of the opponent.

For starters, Mourinho yesterday repeated one of those little scenes that have become military tactics that many will jalean. Karanka delegated to the press conference and stood beside him in a position to watch dumb. Spanish journalists and many other foreign colleagues left the newsroom and Real Madrid’s first reaction was camper rally around the coach, as if someone had attacked.

Karanka, who makes efforts to look bad, he recited the speech of the head and then clarified that the allocation of training bibs had been randomized (Pepe, Di Maria and Benzema holders did not dress), what makes us bet on a team with Marcelo them and interior, without missing any Star: Xabi and Christian (no goals in six games against Barca). That is, eleven of luxury, with the only caution of Arbeloa on Messi, if Messi is not surprising relocating to the tip or in midfield, which has tested all Guardiola in the Classics and undoubted success.

At Barcelona, ​​the novelty is already known: Busquets as central. It is in that position and that of Maxwell which overlook the only two cracks of Barcelona, ​​who in his last five victories against Real Madrid is always accompanied by Puyol, Valdés addition, Alves and Messi.

As always, the midfield duel it seems decisive. Without Lass (injured) and Barn (passed), Mourinho will need the work of Marcelo and Di Maria in the drop and in touch. Guardiola’s obsession is to avoid the caps cons of Madrid.

Warning: may occur as described or something completely different. Because, although there is no top hats in sight, do not dismiss it out tonight to see some rabbits.
