Real won with ease 0-3 to Athletic Bilbao a rather weak and unknown in San Mames. That team fighting that usually causes serious problems for their rivals, including farce, it was an affordable for Mourinho's team. The party took it as if it were spring training, without anger or major surprises, considering that the league is almost clinched also the opposing team did not generate about hazards and Real Madrid goals came at crucial moments of the match.
First of all alignment caught the attention of all by Albiol and plants with Pepe Garay fifth defense or midfield, and finally played. Ownership was also surprised by Kaka and Higuain, both recently recovered from their injuries. For me the game was salvageable from the position of Pepe, who played between the central midfielders to fight with anyone. No surprise me and play the Portuguese at times against the farce, because in that area is where you move Messi. Pepe's position was crucial to master the game and have zero scares during 90 minutes.
The first two goals were either two separate penalties charged by a born-again Kaka, both caused also by Di Maria, who seems to re-acquire early-season form. To highlight the more than decent game of Kaka, who this time it looked much rather play football and it was much faster and efficient in the pass. Higuain once clear, those who normally would get, but lacks speed and rhythm. The third was scored by CR7 on a great play on the left, gradually regaining the scoring talent at the crucial moment. The positive is that we recover all the major players of attack on that section of the season. It seems that the physical plan Mourinho did work because now we are at top physical and footballing. In these wanderings we escape points against weak teams in the league, but to be the first year and having a template unbalanced in midfield, I think we did much more than what others expected. We have almost completely off the hook of the fight for the league, but we are in the Cup final with a foot in the semifinals of the Champions League. Well, we're doing the best season since 2003, all in one year thanks to Mourinho. Let's see if next year we can see the roof of this team.
On Wednesday we have the return match against Tottenham and, although not a walk in London, I think the team will qualify taking a positive result. This game and probably with more emphasis on the next Saturday, will be the last test to face the 3 end we have against the fakers. I confess I am nervous and guarded prognosis, which I think means considering that we have won the last five games, some in a humiliating and almost all overwhelming tactical dominance. But we got good, confident and healthy, while others are not butt physically, at least not as they were in November.
San Mames's party and others to follow league shall serve for certain players demonstrate their quality as potential substitutes and starters in moments of truth. Real Madrid next year should begin to rotate from the first games to snap up many points in the league and players dosing, but this requires the commitment of all and above all, to be treated as a tactical system has a mature team where everyone knows what to play, even when the same farce or Sporting. Whatever happens this year, the foundation has been laid to let the other year this team will become even more dominant in all competitions.
