First of all an apology for putting the chronic many days after, but had not had time to make a post about Sunday's game. Anyway, here we are back to talk a bit about the team's performance.
To start the match painted to be complicated due to the good time of the Espanyol, especially for high performance at home. What nobody expected was to keep ten men the absurd expulsion of Casillas. Not justify the captain because he does not deserve, did not have to go to that part of the field, the referee, rigorous or not, red card. Thousands of things we went through the head to Real Madrid after receiving such a blow at minute 2, but nobody expected the team would play one of the best games we've seen, showing a high level of control at all times, leading to rival Madrid where he wanted and attacking the very endangered by lethal counterattacks led by Özil, Cristiano and Adebayor.
mention deserves the second captain, Marcelo, who completed a truly great game of anthology, in defense and attack, giving a lesson in how you have to leave a defender playing the ball. Few players have this ability and Marcelo is still growing and showing that he is fighting to be one of the best left-backs in the world. A similar case to Higuain, who with little or no fame, but with a big heart and talent potential in their feet, have been able to earn a spot and the fans too. They also show that not need to be born in the quarry to be elite players for a big team, for me they both are authentic homegrown Real Madrid. This is how the idols are born.
Others who played a great match were Pepe and Alonso. The Brazilian-Portuguese gave a lecture on how they cover and how it plays a master of anticipation. On performances like this has earned renewal, driven also by Mourinho, who always supported and praised. Xabi played a great game to multiply all over the field and throwing with a lot of intelligence to the front, was accompanied Özil very well and took a squire Khedira seemingly invisible but very useful and reliable. Arbeloa fine as long Özil sacrificed quite moving around the midfield, which led to it had just melted.
As for the front, both ran as never failed to fairly well, especially Adebayor but it is not to panic or say they played poorly, in contrast, the Togolese ran a lot and lacked some of bellows to finish the job. Anyway, covered spaces, created danger, ran on the front of attack, set at the central, stole balls, pressured the defense of the African great match. Christian in his line, but with much more ground to cover to the front and also created a lot of danger, attending up to 2 or 3 times to Adebayor. In addition, during many periods of the match, was down enough to defend and then launch with all the front.
can feel the hand of Mourinho in extreme situations, it seems that's where it operates better and this security has been transmitted to all lines. As we continue with this order and competitive spirit, we can finally fight on equal terms in matches against teams from the Champions League. I think it was a very valuable test ahead of Lyon. Many accuse of being cautious, but what you can do with one less if not intelligently defend yourself if you're winning and less. In addition, Madrid Espanyol could have settled have been more accuracy. Great game that helps us continue to believe that you can win a league and very expensive for the farce. Goodbye
largest '9 'history
I conclude the entry by mentioning the removal of one of the best players have embarked on a playing field, which for many (myself included) has been the greatest center forward in the history of football: Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima, or just Ronaldo. The first and original, the eternal smile, the 'Phenomenon' who stunned the world at a young age, which was recovered after a very serious injury and returned to be the best player in the world, but for many it has not already been same as it was. Yet it was enough to win more titles with Real, a Golden Ball and World Cup, his World.
I could not see the press conference where he announced his final retirement from the courts, only I saw bits and it was hard to see this great crack breaking into tears, because beyond that time passes, a retired Ronaldo injury. What impotence could not do what you know you can and want to do. He lost the battle against his body.
With Ronaldo Real Madrid I became 100%, I still remember how I followed the movements when they announced his signing in the final minutes to close the market. I remember when he scored his first two goals playing half an hour, the first ball that touches his chest, boat and shot to the top, that cry tore my throat but it did not matter. Ronaldo came to be the hero and savior of Real Madrid and won at the Bernabeu from the first moment. A pity we could not win that Champions of 2003, was ours, but between several injuries, including one Brazilian precisely, the computer failed in Turin. Even the 2004 when we lost unexpectedly against Monaco but could not be.
Ronnie, thank you, never be another like you, or the world, or me as an idol. Now I am of Madrid and not only support a player as many seem to do (myself included for several years). I think the weight and significance that Ronaldo in my personal life and football has been immeasurable, indescribable, incomparable. Thank crack, idol of idols, teacher of teachers. Bye.
