The Valladolid does not find solution
Being missing only 13 days so that it finishes the League of the First Division, the struggles in the table are remaining more and more outlined. For it some teams should begin to realize of that or they react once and for all, or the next year they will have to do to the stars of the League for television. It is the case of the Real Valladolid, which placed in positions of descent with only 20 points, it begins seeing as the salvation escapes from him.
It is clear that a lot of way is 39 points to be still able revertir the situation, but the most worrying problem of the Valladolid is not the position in the table or the harvested points, but the tendency of the team. His yesterday defeat on Sunday for 2-0 in San Mamés was a new example of what him who happens. The Pucela is a very fragile team psychologically. Before the Athletic it started well, but after the first Toquero goal it went flat like a balloon and he could not already react in the whole party. If we add the defensive weakness to this, we realize that the problem of the Valladolid is serious.
Behind there has stayed this Valladolid of previous periods united and heavy of facing, infected by Mendilibar. The team was working like a big group, and this is the biggest problem of the current staff, that this group does not exist already largely through the fault of the numerous high and low ones. Mendilibar could not implant his stamp and cost him the head. Now Onésimo, that credit was coming with small of having amounted to the Second Division to the Huesca, is turning out to be exceeded by the situation.
The Valladolid only has gained 3 parties of the 25 disputed ones (the same that the Xerez) and he does not know yet what is to win in what we go of 2010. The true thing is that many players of the staff are not demonstrating anything in the field of game. To which quality is presupposed they lack commitment, and others straight lack soccer to be able to play in the First, therefore we would have to indicate the sports director, Roberto Olabe. It is the responsible maximum of having shaped a staff that does not give the size.
There is this absence of commitment and intensity the one that it has provoked that this Monday the captain of the Valladolid, Frames, has gone out to the forum with a few hard but necessary declarations, thinking about how to shake his own partners and react before it is too much late.
“To leave them aside? Yes, I am partial. And if I am the first one, to me. I do not want friends, just as they should to me love me either. Only I want an uncle that on Sunday the life stakes for me [...] it is not the same that Las Palmas avenge, with all my respects, or Real Madrid or Athletic Club of Bilbao, which for the city, the mass media or the hotel trade are supposed by him very much. I have gone down once and have seen the difference [...] Of us 300.00 or 350.000 persons depend. Many people, even I, who can remain without charging and that many families have to go away to the unemployment because with our attitude and our cowardice we could go down to Second [...] It is very easy to come to train here, you do what you like and it was. I do not want that it is an easy coexistence. I want to come to train here and want neither smiles, nor tears. They do not cost me. I want that they even despise me, just as I am going to despise them [...] I prefer to play badly, but that gives himself the whole heart there. We are killed by the one that we do not demonstrate, not to ourselves, that we stake the life. And we allow it to happen, and a day more that you lose and that kills us. Too many little us the fans have screamed.”

Liédson warns the Athletic one with four goals
One of the men to be emphasized of between what has seen this weekend in Europe, is Liédson, the forward of the Sporting of Portugal, who signed four goals of his team in the victory before the Belenenses. Although we have to say that the Sporting, quarter in the table, is already very far of the first two positions that lead in Portugal to the Champions League.
True it is that the level of the Portuguese League is very lower in comparison than others like the Spaniard or Englishwoman, and that for more inri, the Belenenses is sunk in the last square of the classification, but it is always showy to see a player scoring four goals in the same meeting (certainly, the four were noted down in the second half). Also in this occasion it comes to us perfectly to be meeting the next rival of the Athletic one of Madrid in the Europe League.
In fact, a few days ago a compatriot of his, Tiago, was admitting into an interview that there had already warned his partners of the rear mattress seller of the danger of this veteran Brazilian player, recently nationalized Portuguese. I dress the seen, it is an advice to be born in mind.
Ibrahima removes more the Saragossa of what it gives to the Atleti
The bad party that happened in The Romareda accepted two goals, one for edict. The Saragossa went forward to seven minutes and Ibrahima rescued a point for the Athletic one in 92. Therefore, bad mouth flavor for the places, which could not make use of his numerical superiority after the Kings’ expulsion and allowed to escape a good opportunity to look with certain relaxation at the dangerous area, to five points instead of from seven. The duel only enjoyed the intensity of both sets, especially of the Aragonese, who by means of force and pressure forced the continuous vagueness of the Atleti. Nevertheless, scarcely there was soccer. And the one that existed, finished for the soils.
Kings it finished expelled for releasing the arm to Eliseu and with striking him in the face. The true thing is that the Sevillian one, as it is already habitual, received from the pretty thing and saw how the arbitration was not just in this aspect. Absences and obviated cards extracted the attacker of his pigeonholes, who went away of the field with a tremendous annoyance. It can cost him expensively, but to a certain extent his attitude is understandable. Certainly, it was not a fault of the umpire that nobody was offering good soccer. From the Atleti, which was coming in progression, it was expected more and that’s why it seems that it was low, but in fact there were no big differences between both teams.
The Saragossa looked for the contact and found it, but it did not meet on the key to set in predicaments to the set rojiblanco. They were not thin Simao, Forlán I nor Predict, and Tiago’s contribution performed the notable little. And if there were doubts, there remains a confirmee bad soccer player who is Valera. The Athletic one sinned soon in defense in a corner, and cost him the goal: Jarosik went forward to all and blended to the network.: “Normal!”, it could be read several times in the lips of Quique Flores.
There was no connection for any side, although the Saragossa went so far as to dominate in the first half. The battle escaped in the midfield, and hence few ones were happening lively. In the places, Humberto Suazo looked for some move, trying to put something of quality to a continuous struggle. But the party entered little by little an absurd dynamics, of absences, protests and cards. At first it was not a bad strategy for those of Gay, but the Ibrahima goal showed up his bet. There was some fear of attacking and of leaving spaces behind, and that’s why scarcely occasions were counted.
The Athletic one there entered Salvio, which left some quality detail and walked participativo in the right band. The Aragonese, very well placed set, he did not allow to breathe the rival. The ‘Kun’ scarcely could turn around and did not manage to create danger. Not he, not practically nobody. It was not an occasions meeting, it cannot be said either that the Saragossa will allow the party to escape and he was excusing the Atleti. It was not like that. Without a clear superiority, although more marked the forceful soccer of the albiazules, the Ibrahima goal did justice; not to what it deserved his team, but to a share-out of bad soccer translated in goals. It marked with head the senegalés, making use in the added time of a center of Jury from the left. A goal that seems to remove more the Saragossa of what it gives to the Atleti. Now, for the persons from Madrid, he has to think in Europe.
To flirt with the danger takes the death as an award (or the resurreción of Madrid before the Seville)
Impressive attitudes lesson in the Santiago Bernabéu. The soccer proved to be how dangerous to us again it is to look from above at a top rival without the necessary skill to administer the inertias; and it did it of a significant form, in the shape of education, punishing a mean team in his convictions to reward other who truly believed in his destination. Real Madrid mended 0-2 to the Seville, and did not need big forms, but its own faith and the fear of the adversary; that also can form strategy. Debit of imposing turns ahead of the set of Pellegrini in his fief, and the legs have to tremble up to relaxing in the defeat, as it seemed to happen to those of Nervion.
The meeting was of an end to other, from the initial control of the Andalusian set up to the skills of harassment — and finally I knock down — which this one turned out to be submitted. The impetus of Madrid denoted the great thing that existed in game, neither more nor less than the leadership. The Barca had tied in Almeria, therefore it had been something like treachery not to gain area in this so even struggle. Even more playing at home, despite the category on contrary. A Seville that turned out to be serene in the stage, proprietor of the situations and of the ball, and that to ten minutes found the luck that to these heights was deserving, and that was accompanying him until practically the end. The goal came in proper door, of Xabi Alonso, after a double center — first of Jesus Navas and after Capel — that the same way had been transformed by Negredo if the native of Guipuzcoa is not anticipated.
The courses were well marked for those of Jiménez, but the course was turning aside with the step of the minutes, as there were diminishing the checkpoints and the area of domain. Up to the half an hour, effective enough the order sevillista, although the revolutions of more of his defenses well could cost him the tie. Earlier, to twenty minutes, Konko fell down again injured person and confirmed his luck in the cadre. Adriano replaced him. Madrid, since it usually does, does not work the bands, but it is dropped to the center as if his potency and his sixth march were allowing him to cross any barrier. Little by little it was gaining area, making to work to Palop, especially immediately after the biggest ease of Xabi Alonso, who was allowed to grow obviating the congenital dangers.
The Christian’s omnipresence — capable of extracting fruit of the chaos — is a reflex of his qualities, but, like a vice, it goes so far as to harm who prisoners of the precipitation fall down. The patience, in Madrid, often does not exist, although it is understandable that sacrifices it in the search of a good that it obtains often in a more direct way. It is his form, a gene. The left flank was used also in this career, but Marcelo’s shots stayed without reward, and the centers of Arbeloa, without a natural leg that was executing them. The white set was facing the duel with the ambition of assaulting the first position of the Championship, but to the rest it went crestfallen; and in the thought, an image: that of his love celebrating the tie of the Barca almost at the time that an involuntary goal was stealing from him the opportunity to be a leader.
There would no be heroisms if adverse conditions were not happening first. Since if Alonso’s goal in own goal was not counting the sufficient thing, Dragutinovic appeared to worsen the matter. Of absence, from approximately thirty meters, the Serbian stamped on a ball in such a way that it seemed comfortable for Casillas. Perhaps that’s why there removed head Xabi Alonso — and for the fear of doing doublet — perhaps for the same the doorman of Madrid did not understand that that ball was glad in his network, that the Seville was relying on with 0-2 in his favor, that the leadership should stay that far.
After 0-2, reactions
Like natural phenomena, the reactions were happening. First, Pellegrini, which understood that a party like that needed ingenuity, top hat to invent something above, and pulled Guti and They Go der Vaart. Second, Madrid itself, which proprietor of the area did to himself and besieged the field sevillista. And third, the Seville, which gave more steps backwards of the advisable thing, and shut itself up in such a way that Madrid did not have to worry about surrounding his area, but about being unrolled there same, in his surroundings. The changes worked, and Guti and They go der Vaart they contributed so much that the recovery made be seen soon. Even three sticks inserted the places (two of Higuaín and one of Guti) with the goals that allowed to turn round him to the scoreboard. A real siege on the Palop goal, hit since it is habitual.
The Seville only was looking for someone against, especially fighting on an exceptional Perotti — very well the Argentinian—. Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos had destroyed in two minutes with his goals the plans of the cadre from Sevilla, and everything was staying in danger. The Bernabéu was too tight of the pretty thing, the occasions happened, Raúl appeared in scene, Guti discovering spaces, balls being walked in goal mouth … but he was not up to the added time up to which They Go der Vaart he could turn into victory what during so many minutes did not want to go on from the tie. Then the stadium believed again in the heroic thing, and insurance that the Barca snorted a form or other one for seeing how much presses this Madrid, the great thing that wants to be a champion. The reproach goes to the Seville only for feeling low when it walked above, sign of what is and what has not just been, with the whole merit that Real Madrid supporter has to reach with two of advantage the fief. While, Jiménez admits that it never saw better Madrid.
That the League is a thing of two it is not a discovery, and it is not also the first time that Madrid delivers to itself this way for the cause. The new thing is in the conditions of the battle for the Championship. The Seville set off like an exception judge and to point it was of Real Madrid supporter irritated the sorrow, but it trumped the exposition before the propulsion of those of Pellegrini, which were unconformist fierce certifications. The occasion needed it. Now the meringues have another vital appointment on Wednesday, where it is already counted from with the same attitude to face the duel opposite to the Lyons.

The Sports one takes 21 days in European positions
First of all, I must confess with you: I recognize it that, yes, I was I … it was me who him whispered to Lotina that Bodipo was annoyed. I did it for already well not only of the Sports one, but of the soccer in general. For Riazor many rare forwards have happened: Luizao, Renaldo, Madar, ‘Fat‘ Martínez, ‘Madman‘ Abreu … But between all of them, the hipanoecuatoguineano gains the garland. It does a pair of days it marked a "great goal" stinging the ball on the exit of the doorman. It was out of game and it was annulled; his partners of the stool jumped of his seat to cheer it up: when your own companions applaud a goal in out of game, bad matter …
Let’s leave the irony and centrémonos in the reality. To the Dépor it is difficult to him to play football and to score goals, but there it is, one more week in European positions and 21 of an uninterrupted way go already. The whole achievement for a team whose principal target is not to spend troubles to be supported in the First. During the whole year it has had problems with the goal but lately it does not manage to play too much the soccer either. Yesterday it did not find the way until Juan Rodríguez joined the goal with which the Tenerife had gone forward.
The person from Malaga costs his weight in gold. He is, of length, the best player of the Dépor, the most regular, which always expires and it never suspends. Yesterday there found in Kept the partner with whom to distribute the weight of the task and, with the help of Valerón, they mended a party that had made her very ugly to the blue and white ones. To the Dépor it is difficult to him to do goal: Lassad, which reappeared yesterday, takes 2; the same ones that Arthrolith, but the Asturian has already played almost 1500 minutes; Mista in 500 min. takes 1; Bodipo, with the same minutes, goes “Zero patatero”; only Riki is saved, with 4 so many people in less than 1000 minutes, but it is injured again … I do not know if you will remember that, shortly after beginning the League, I ventured that five forwards were not going to score 25 goals between. They take 9, I hope they come to 15 …
The Dépor survives thanks to the contribution of other players: Filipe Luis, Juca, Juan Rodríguez, Colotto and Kept they take 3 goals each one. Very significant is the goals baggage in favor and in against: 29 for 27. Half of his victories (6 of 12) has been for 1-0 and only it has scored more than two goals in three meetings (Xerez, Athletic Club and Tenerife). So it is necessary to recognize the big merit that has the picture directed by Miguel Ángel Lotina. Although it is not necessary to deceive itself either: the Dépor is not playing as it did it in the first return and has given a bassoon: of the last 6 parties, it has lost three, joined one and cattle two, both against teams in descent (Xerez and Tenerife) and in Riazor.
I never thought that he was going to say ésto: it is evident and very much the fall of Sergio González. I do not know what is what it gives him to the Dépor (logically it is necessary to think about his seniority) but it is not doubt that, since it has fallen down in several injuries, the blue and white ones tend to break in two and the lines have not just measured well his distances. I would like that Lotina was trusting in the midfield that played yesterday: Antonio Tomás (who has not gone down the high pass in the whole period) and the polyvalent ace Juan Rodríguez in the fundamental one, flanked by Pablo Álvarez and Kept. In defense the bet is clear having Filipe in the dry dock and without substitute: Laure does what can, nearly that is …
Above, without being Riki, which without being one out of series brings him very much the team, fighting the air balls better than anybody, playing of backs, supporting the ball up to the arrival of the second line, almost does not matter the one who plays while it does not make it Bodipo; although, to tell truth, really either any flattery deserves Arthrolith: in addition to his absence of goal, sometimes it proves to be so indolent to itself that they give desire of giving him a pinch in a nipple I hope espabila. To see now if Lassad contributes something after returning of his rare injury and even more strange recovery.
In conclusion: the Sports one is in a situation privileged by proper merits and it even might put itself in Champions positions if it does a stupidity the next week in Sánchez Pizjuán opposite to a Seville hurt by Madrid (Lotina was already saying it …). He needs to improve his game and keep on making the most of his opportunity as it has done it till now, what will not be an easy task bearing in mind that the dogsbodies have finished him and it is going to have to play parties much complicated at home and visit very complicated stadiums.
