Thirty thousand yesterday's classic, first of four we have in an interval of just one month, has confirmed what we already knew, nobody here wants to lose or veneers. The two teams went to a Bernabeu with atmosphere in the stands, with everything they had. The league was virtually decided, yes, but Barça Madrid, even in the tournament of the Cookie, is a Madrid club. It is true that the Madrid was again obliged to give everything that Barca, not by trying to cut at least almost clinched a league, but because you're playing at home and to your liking. And this first classic can set the tone for others. But the club was not going to give anything away to arch-rivals, of course. Hence the alignment of Puyol for example, that was very fair in his recovery, but certainly play the Cup final.
Photo: AFP / Mark approaches were initially expected. Barca have Madrid ball and try to steal it and go to the counter. The trivote with Xabi, Pepe Kedhira and excited, does not play nice, but maybe it's the only way to try to beat Barca. Mou know, and anyone who knows a little of this too, that if Madrid plays to take the ball to take a pulse Barça to see who plays better and better, probably worse off. So there is no alternative, give them the ball and try to steal it and get out fast with Cristiano and Di Maria. Come on, beat them by way of work, suffering and "tricky." It's hard to take this team approach and less in the Bernabeu against Barca, but Mou primarily practical. We must minimize damage. The unusual height of the grass and have not boded well watered so that tactic resultadista Clementiniana that like so little in the Bernabeu. But the circumstances require.
And so was the game. In the first part of the club dominated the ball possession percentages tremendous, but neither had excessive opportunities, although Messi had a hand in hand and there was a possible penalty of Casillas Villa. Madrid played the entire first half to contain, to pressure and not let Messi play, and also did it in part. Had more opportunities, a Christian and a Tomahawk corner with danger. But there came rest and cerocerismo looked at the scoreboard.
The second half was another story. Madrid came out a little more plugged in and the bottom Cristiano Tomahawk portended good things for the meringue. But on the contrary, the next move to Villa penalty Albiol ago and it's expulsion. Marca Madrid Messi and palms and less. And that's when things changed, curiously. Real Ozil brought a football genius, and appealed to the heroic, to throw more flats that the club and had 15 minutes of arreón epic until it was Marcelo Alves penalty. Muñiz was "forgetting" to take out yellow Alves, which greatly angered Mou.
The last minutes were vibrant, played a give and take very tension and nerves for some. Pepe always on the limit and Messi, who was the pot completely, hit by a pitch to the public that was not sanctioned by card. If the pitch hits him in Barcelona Cristiano lynch him right there.
the end, a tie that does not help to Madrid in the league, but leaves the door open to believe that the Cup may be another story, yes, throwing the SAME testiculina today. There is desirable, but inevitable.
Then comes the show Mou and his press conferences, which are becoming more mythic. Yesterday's after the game was tremendous . The brown has become a liar. You have not answered reporters yesterday planted to Karanka saying " As ye have not spoken to my second, I do not speak with you today and just talk to your Director ." That has triggered a hashtags Twitter hilarious, # moufacts and # mourinhofacts , in which I participated course :-). Also complained of preferential treatment to Barcelona and the referee. For the record, I do not convinced by this dynamic, but it amuses me, I admit. The press conference Mou is becoming a spectacle in itself, media and extremely controversial. And it attracts. It will not be the most elegant of the world, but it seems that Real Madrid is with him. And at this time not for me to criticize him for it. Mou Mou is Florentino signed him and when he knew he was.
Anyway, waiting for the next classic on Wednesday, where it really because we played a FIFA and certainly not like the game today, for better or worse for both teams. Go mesecitos football awaits
:-) PS: I did not like the laser from the stands. They have no justification, or when they do some, even when others do.
