Vicente Calderón turned yesterday in a few minutes in certification again he marries madmen’s. And the fact is that to point the Athletic one was of arranging in the last quarter of an hour the disaster that by that time it had formed, when it was losing for zero three thanks to each collapse and to the good one to do group of Madrid. I predict, that jumped of the bank in the rest, it armed a revolution that woke up the spirit of his team, and that of the step, and it walked very close to obtaining the tie. It had been unjust, since Madrid did excessive merits to remain with the victory, although the local onrush put him against the ropes. But it is already known, between the ball and the ropes is Casillas, which managed to save this speech in the last moment.

This one Athletic is unforeseeable, but, always respectful with the tradition, it allowed Madrid to go forward to five minutes. The danger one smells with two Brazilians being about the area, the proper one and foreign other. The first one, Cléber, wants to extract the controlled ball from behind even surrounded with rivals, and loses it; the second, Kaká, finds it and fixes an impressive right. True it is that there could be absence, but Cléber did not respect a basic norm and his team found an excessive punishment to the first ones of change. At least, will have learned Quique for next derbis that the party is not necessary to raise as a normal duel, but the strategy must center in how Real Madrid supporter answers to the first goal. The Athletic one reacted well, but yesterday the defense visitor curdled a magnificent party, excepting the minutes of the madness, capable of overcoming to anyone.

Before the duel, the distances were clear. During the same one, it was confirmed that Lass and Xabi Alonso form very good couple, more for the Atleti, which little by little was sinking in a deep sleep. A sleep that Marcelo was in charge of turning in nightmare to twenty-five minutes, when he made use of the passivity of the local defense to do with the right the second one. It was a blow durísimo that corroborated the previous theory. This is what has to support Pablo in the staff. Immediately after so much the mattress-makers woke up, but his game does not go to any side. In spite of everything, they had an unbeatable opportunity in the last move of the first half, but Simao decided to shoot before transferring the ball to Forlán, which only had had to push it. Casillas is still equal, but neither Simao nor Forlán are what there were; not only for this move, but for details that hit in the eye, like the bad control panel and the worst decisions.

Madrid, with so many certainties in the pocket, knew that if someone could change but of the meeting it was the ‘Kun’ I Predict, that it joined the shock after the rest. Also there were conscious the athletic ones, which, nevertheless, saw how Sworn, his only constructive piece, it was remaining in the wardrobe. There are illogical decisions, you mark of the profession. Certainly, to Madrid the accounts were going out for him, and his superiority found a tremendous support in the big Benzema party. With his mobility, French made different alternatives possible, opening possibilities for this control that Madrid was raising in Alonso’s prodigious feet. Without desmerecer to the rest, Pepe and Sergio Ramos were standing out exceedingly in the defensive work, and everything seemed controlled.

Before it was the proper party the one that was throwing itself to the arms of the injustice, Perea offered in salver to Higuaín a product irrechazable: the third goal. When an athletic one cries out against his defense it refers to the noisy of his errors. It is, when less, incomprehensible that the Colombian was complicating the life flirting with a ball that him is always hostile. It is normal, he suffers a chronic awkwardness against which there is no remedy; it is a natural evil, that God already gave him the gift of the speed. Since friend, this that you take.

The figure appeared then of convalescent Omen, who was in charge of turning round him to the sensations, of ‘gambetear’ with the surprise and even, the luxury, of provoking the expulsion of Branches, a key step for the reaction of the Athletic one. In the attacks the motivation found the set rojiblanco, since he cannot do it of another form. And there almost always it wets Forlán; yesterday, making use of a level center from the right of Ujfalusi, immeasurable in the derbi. Since Omen took two minutes in joining the holiday, after knocking down the powerful Pepe and converting two to three with simplicity, crossing the ball before Casillas. It was covering the minute 79, and I joust then they all believed it. Madrid began to defend itself as it could. Raúl was trying to bear the ball, Alonso was calming the ball when it could, and while, the local impetus was gaining area.

This way the extension time came, and the foundations of the building white that so easy was constructed yesterday evening stayed to little of derruirse. Maxi prolongs with the breast a ball and this one him falls down to Omen for the shot. The scene is clear. Since it entered, he was dreaming the ‘Kun’ with similar moment, but his auction mattress seller found the body of Iker Casillas and the consequent desolation of the parish. The bleachers did not collapse, and neither the white building did it. Therefore, they continue in foot many excuses that serve to some and others to justify any offense. To Madrid almost there escapes from him a duel that seemed stingy, but it managed to add three points that support him in the highest thing. To the Atleti, some waves keep on being enough to him to disguise of danger his bad game. Anyway, everything is for loyalty to the tradition.
