Ten reasons not to hate Pellegrini
Real Madrid will visit the Camp Nou next Sunday being a leader of the First Division. A fact that many people (I include myself) were doubting that it might go so far as to happen seen the seen does not even a pair of weeks. But in the capricious soccer the points are in charge, and only in the video games the virguerías and the excellence are rewarded. Them there is that on this morning of Sunday they happen rubbing the topic, them there is that they do apology of this one, and them there is that they send a clear message towards a marionette that they all want to handle but nobody knows how: Manuel Pellegrini. I have already commented on it in some occasion: I am not lover of the Chilean, but an error had looked alike to send him to walk after the ridiculous one of the Cup. That’s why, and for the leadership premiere alone, the engineer takes today my 10 reasons not to hate him:
1. Handling a team in construction (and this way one must consider during the whole period to me seem), the Chilean has overcome a crisis (more journalistic than real) placing itself like leader of the First Division on having added 28 points of possible 33; and having the possibility next Sunday of being located to four points of the Barcelona if it manages to win in Camp Nou.
2. Pellegrini had a big ally by the his beginnings, Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese has left him only before the danger during month and a half. Nevertheless, and although the portuguese keeps on being the maximum scorer of Real Madrid in League (from yesterday, along with Higuaín) and Champions, has wound the offensive problem with a balance of 11 goals in the last six parties, almost two for meeting; that have allowed him to add 13 of the last 18 in game. In comparison, in the same period, the Barca has obtained a point less (12) and only two more goals (13).
3. After thousands of articles, gatherings, surveys, votings, charm and other histories for several years, Real Madrid has come across with the only trainer who has relegated to the stool Raúl. Equal the detractors of the Chilean now will point out with the finger that the suplencia of the captain directs to the perdition.
4. When the falls it have not prevented, Pellegrini has looked for day after day to prove several players in different positions on the field of play, symptom of which the Chilean is looking for the best scheme that can offer him the staff. To Marcelo it has found his place as left interior (Juande Ramos already proved it there), and it has already found his double offensive: Higuaín - Benzema.
5. Nobody raises him to the climbing vine: (invisible) punishment to Guti for his behavior in Alcorcón and his debts in the trainings, in addition to the touch started to Granary, that after the first League parties the boy was very large and Pellegrini lowered the smokes with the suplencia.
6. The Chilean bets for the nationals: in the first eleven League parties, Pellegrini has used in eleven initial an average of five Spanish players. In five occasions, the holders have gone so far as to congregate to six national players. Casillas, Xabi Alonso, Albiol, Branches, Granary and Raúl overcome 550 minutes in League; this is half of the entire minutes celebrated up to the date.
7. He is criticized for not pulling the quarry: perhaps someone has thrown a glance to the situation of the Castile in the Second Division B? 16th, with only two gained parties and with possibilities of falling down in descent positions shortly. The Alcorcón almost doubles him in points (22, for 13 of the subsidiary target). Really is there material how to raise cantenaros the first team?
8. I recapture the topic of the patience and invoke again to the time so that a very new and renewed team is constructed. Nevertheless, Real Madrid of Pellegrini has gained nine League parties after the first eleven League days. Something that not even the past period had happened (having gone out in previous champion) not in those of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008, when they raised the title.
9. Pellegrini is not a problem for his mother’s exits like previous trainers. His calmness hated by some, is a guarantee for the club, since he knows that the Chilean is not going to put them in a commitment. This way it has demonstrated it in the cases of the punishment to Guti or with the honest gesture that it had in the Caldron, when never it did blood with the stone that him fell down in the eye, what facilitated that the party was following his normal course. Another thing was the Competition resolution…
10. The last reason perhaps is the simplest: Pellegrini takes six months in the club, comes from a small team as the Villarreal and in spite of his good work in the submarine it never obtained a title. Newly initiated the period, although the requirements in Real Madrid are always high, is expiring in two big competitions. If the targets win to the Zürich next Wednesday they will have the classification for the eighth ones of end of the Champions in the pocket, and next Sunday they will tread on the lawn of Camp Nou being leaders of the First. I believe that even he would like Money box turn in the same situation.
