Pellegrini and Raúl: two soccer men
During the last derbi of Madrid there were objects throwings to the field. As in many other fields of the First, the team of safety of the Athletic one and the National Police they did not manage to prevent any energúmenos from throwing things from the step. Undoubtedly it is full difficultly to control thousands of persons, especially when between them there are cowards who make use of the anonymity that gives them the mass to behave in a violent way.
There is no period that does not spend anything. Years ago in Riazor cracked a mecherazo to an umpire, we still have the memory of the blow with a bottle fresh to Juande Ramos in Ruiz de Lopera and how to forget the head of pig of Camp Nou. This Saturday there were not small the things that threw themselves from the graderío of Vicente Calderón and one of them, a stone as he believes, it affected the face of Manuel Pellegrini.
With the expulsion of Sergio Ramos a big bustle armed itself in the Manzanares. Between those who were asking for the expulsion of the Sevillian side street, which celebrated it when it took place and those who were cheering his team up so that it was putting the rest in search of the recovery, there was a considerable number of persons who threw objects to the field. Someone should have remained without cigaret lighters or bottles, so he decided that a small stone would serve to achieve his target and was right of plenary meeting, because this one ended up by clashing in the Pellegrini face, very close to his right eye.
Overcome the impression of the moment, the Chilean raised the head when there came the umpire to be asked about him about his state and Pellegrini limited itself to saying to him that nothing had happened and that it should continue the game. Something unusual to me to seem, because many others in his place, had mounted a good number, or throwing itself to the soil or complaining sarcastically or even leaving the field. Pero Pellegrini does not belong to those, he is a soccer man, it realizes the whole shit that surrounds it and does not allow anything to interfere in the truly important thing: that the ball keeps on rolling.
Later, in the press conference, it supported his position, did not want to extract profit and took iron from him to the matter. Now the stone is in the roof of the Athletic one of Madrid; they must find the culprit, expel him if he is an associate, and prevent him the entry in the field of life way. Have heard nor read if the Athletic one has got in touch with the trainer of Madrid to apologize to him; if they have not done it, they should.
We all meet Raúl and everything has already been said almost about him, but he wanted to comment to you on a detail of the Saturday party with which I remained. Seven it went out in the minute 66, just after the third goal of his team and only a few seconds before the expulsion of Sergio Ramos. Minutes later, with the tense party, the Caldron roaring and the Athletic one pushing, in a soccer event, a player of the Atleti (forgive that he does not remember who) raised the leg to such a height that him ended up by giving a touch with his boot to Raúl in the face. The captain of Madrid took the hands to the face, but nothing more, espabiló to the little and it was still dependent on the game.
In his place, being in a derbi, having remained with ten players, with the opposite mending, who more who less had thrown himself to the soil, asking for card or mounting a pantomime so that the assistance was going out, and this way to lose time. Very few players would act with so many nobility; if the same happens to Daniel Alves, it would be still giving today somersaults for the soil, would crossing the Pyrenees in the direction of France …
Ten for Raúl, whom many things they can criticize, but nobody can reproach him that it throws itself, that I did not even exaggerate neither a pain or that loses the time of an unsporting way. It neither has ever done it it nor will do it, because he is a soccer man.
