Los Blancos Lost …...again :(



The referee declared to end of the match, the scoring board showing two to nothing, but for which team? The confused Real Madrid players, Or the astonishing high class players of Barcelona. It was unfortunately for the better team, Barcelona. Even the worst Real Madrid pessimistic fans never expected the match to end goalless for Real Madrid. Real Madrid had an impressive record before their Saturday clash with Barca, winning all the home matches and scoring average of three goals per day. Apparently, all that was for nothing. Barcelona proved once again in Saturday Match that there are still better than Real Madrid .

Real madrid vs Fc barcelona 0-2 Full Highlights



The best team on the pitch was obviously Barcelona; the ball possession was 65% for for Barcalona. Although they didn't have any real chances in front t of Real Madrid goal, they managed to score the first goal from a lovely play from Xavi to Lionel Messi who put the ball nicely into Iker Casillas net. From their first chance, Barcelona leaded the game by one to null in the 32nd minutes. After Barcelona scored, Real Madrid were doing their best to get the equalizer, but unfortunately, all their chances lacked the magic finisher from players like Higuain and Ronaldo. The two of them didn’t were in the right shape, in fact it was their worst performance of the season. After many disappointing missed chances, the first half of the game finished. After ten minutes of beginning the second half, Barcelona scored its second. This time, it came from the rising young star, Pedro Rodríguez, who faced Iker Casillas alone front the goal. Again, the pass came from the spectacular play maker Xavi. After that, Real Madrid poorly tried to returned on game, but they didn’t try enough. The only player on Real Madrid side who had one of his best games was Iker Casillas. If it wasn’t for him, Messi could’ve scored hat-trick. Thanks to his spectacular saves, Real Madrid came out losing by two goals.




Barcelona now is leading the Spanish league with three points ahead of Real Madrid. With only seven more games left, it might be extremely hard if not impossible for Real Madrid to win the trophy this season. Because, even if the Real Madrid made it and equalized with Barcelona with number of points, Barcelona will still take the title. The rule in the Spanish league in the case of two teams having the same points, the title will go to the team who has won more on his opponent in the face to face matches, which mean Barcelona since they won two matches. But if there always even a tiny chance to win the title, then Real Madrid will not give up and continue to fight. Looking to the two teams remaining matches, they both have hard and easy matches. Now, all I care about is how Real Madrid will end the session. I want from Real Madrid to play as they are in seven finals and win each game with a breath taking performances, same kind of performance that we used to see , against teams like Sevilla FC and Atletico de Madrid.

Viva Real Madrid

The top players in the world will meet face to face...Barcelona v.s. Real Madrid



The most telented Players in the world are set to to compate face to face




Once again, a quick review and facts about tomorrow clash with Barcelona. In this post I’ll try to put some facts and number for both teams, especial the player of both teams. Although there are penalty of teams that a have long rivalry with each other, like chelseaand Manchester United in English league, or A C Milan with inter Milan in Italian League, tomorrow clash a has its own beauty. It will combine the best of the best players in the world. According to the latest FiFa’s list of the best players in the world, it consisted of 8 players from Barcelona and Real Madrid. No need to mention their names, the top two names in the list are, Lionel Messi, for being the best player in the world, behind him Ronaldo, the second best player in the world.



The question that has been roaming around now,is that, who is currently the best player in the soccer world? Last year, the title for the best player went to Messi, and the year before that it was for Cristiano Ronaldo. So who will have it this year? The question might not be answered tomorrow, but it will show each one of the player and their abilities. Who will have the upper hand for tomorrow’s match? Crisiano Ronaldo Or Lionel Messi? Just to be fair, Messi did overcome Ronaldo in some past occasions, like when they met in Champions league last year, also in the first Leg Clásico.





For Lionel Messi, he is having the season of his life, scoring 39 goals in all competition for Barcelona, most notably, his Super hat-trick, 4 goals in the Champions league match against Arsenal. He is the talk of the headlines around the world. Some players like the legendary Maradona, described Messi as the greatest soccer player of all time. Being only at age 22, Messi has so much to offer! On the other hand, the most expensive player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, with a record breaking transfer of 94 million Euros from Manchester United to Real Madrid, is having a wonderful session as well. Ronaldo scored a total of 27 goals of a total 25 matches he played for Real Madrid. In addition, he made many crucial assist to his team mates in many occasions. However, all this is nothing comparing to what Messi is showing now.





It is not only between these two players the rivalry will be, it also goes for the midfielders, defense and even the goal keepers. Tomorrow’s will be literally a war between the players to prove themselves as the best in the world. When Cristiano Ronaldo was asked in a press conference yester who is the best player, he or Messi. He answered, joking,” I’m taller, wider, older than messi…” but he then continued and admitted that the corrent form of Lionel Messi is definantly better than his form on the pitch. For me, I can’t deny, although I prefer Ronaldo on Messi, that messi now in his current games, is the best player in the world. I hope, like any Real Madrid fan hopes, is to see one hell of a match tomorrow, ending with Real Madrid winning the game.
Madrida, with the support of the crowded Real Madrid's fans, Real Madrid can take over Barcalona and contunure thier record as being unbeatable in the home land, 14 wins at homes this season.

El Clásico........ The Clash of a life time!!





It is without any doubt one of the most important games of this season. Millions of people will lock them down tomorrow at 4:00 Pm eastern time for the biggest clash in the European league, more known as El Clásico, between the six-title champion Barcelona against the Royal club, Real Madrid. It is the talk of all sport newspaper; it is the center of all the soccer’s fan. This match has a deferent taste from the others matches because of its importance in determining the league title winner. So far, the both team share the same number of points before the end of the league by eight rounds. They both have 77 points, which never happened in Spanish league that two team shared this much of point at this time of the league. Although players from both team have declared that this match couldn’t be decisive, but they admitted that is crucial for both team.




When Florentino Pérez spent 250 million euro out of Real Madrid treasury, is to build a team that can compete In both Spanish and European level. Tomorrow’s match will prove if ht emoney spent was paid off or not. We all remember the historic six-titles that Barcelona won the last year comparing to “ZERO” title for the Real Madrid. Also, Real Madrid’s fans can;’t forget the humiliating lost to Barcelona t the Bernabéu last year, 6 –2 when Madrid fans walked out of the stadium half way through the second half of the game. The time is now for Real Madrid to take its revenge back, and gaind the trust of their fans back.




The difference between Real Madrid last year and this year, is the players, coach and the sprit that they lacked for a long tim. Now Real Madrid have a solid defense, consisting of Alvaro Arbeloa, Albiol , and Sergio Ramos. Also two unstoppable strikers, Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo. Though Barcalona’s team didn’t change much from the last year team, except for Ibrahimovic, who will unfortunately will miss tomorrow’ match. Another thing that might changed is the performance of Barcelona, they are in a much better shape from what they were, scoring a total of 6 goal in Arsenal’s net in champions league is something can’t be looked over at easily.




If the disappointed exit of Real Madrid from the Champions league was Real Madrid’s worst nightmare this year, then there is only one way make that up, is to win the Clásico. Away from being important for Real Madrid to gain the leadership, it is also as important for Manuel Pellegrinito prove that he worth coaching the most expensive Club in the world. Failing to win the match would main the end for Pellegrini, Real Madrid’s coach.

Breaking all the records….and they just keep winning

El Derbi madrileño
Real Madrid Fans at the Santiago Bernabuo Stadium from the match against Atlitco Madrid




Real Madrid currently broke many of the clubs records in the Spanish League. They made their 11 consecutive win in the league, which is the best second half start for the team. Scoring at least 3 goals in each of these eleven games, which is another record they broke, when they won 9 games with more than 3 goals scored. Also, in the Europe as whole, Real Madrid currently, is the only club that have won all the matches played on its stadium. With nine games left on the league, Real Madrid competition heats up with its biggest rival- Barcelona. Before talking about one of the most anticipated events of the year, I’d like to discuss some general facts about the team and their recent won over Atlético Madrid, most commonly known as being El Derbi madrileño. The matches luckily ended with a late come back from Real Madrid to win the match 3 to 2. Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid highlights 3 - 2


First of all, let me discuss both teams’ performance in the first half. Atletco Madird opened the scoring with Antonio Reyes at the tenth minute. The goal was a master piece, the finisher from Antonio, and Aguero who assisted him beautifully. This was a shocking goal for Real Madrid, as they didn’t expect that they will score so early. On the other hand, is was a “slap” of awakens for Real Madrid. Real Madrid began the match, almost for the whole first half with a very poor performance. Especially their passes, almost most of the passes were not completed. They looked very confuse. There were no real chances for Real Madrid except of two, One for Higuain and the other for Cristiano Ronaldo, and unfortunately they didn’t use them wisely.


At the very beginning of the second half, Real Madrid FINALLY made their way back. Xabi Alonso brought the hope back to the Santiago Bernabuo Stadium with a beautiful play from a corner kick. After the first goal, Alvaro Arbeloa scored the second for Real Madrid. Also this time the assist came from Xabi Alonso who passed a long ball to Arbeloa. Arbeloa found himself in front the goal and did not hesitate to score the second for Real Madrid. Then the turn came to Higuain to score the third for Real Madrid after a mistaken poor from the defense of Atletco Madird who were very confused. After just five minutes from Higuain’s goal, Diego Forlan scored the second goal for Atletco Madird from a penalty kick. Atletco Madird looked like they had a chance to come back, but, they didn’t.



Among the three goals Real Madrid scored, Arbeloa’s goal was the best I believe. He really took his goal in a professional way as if it was Ronaldo. Also, Xabi Alonso played one of his best games in the league. One ironic fact is that the previuse match between the teams ended with the same score, 3 - 2 for Real Madrid.After this Dramatic derbi between Atlitco and Real Madrid. Real Madrid came out from the match with precious 3 points which returned them to the top of the Spanish league, sharing it with barcalona.

Who to blame for the Shoucking Exit? the players...




Again, with the question, Who to blame for the shocking exit from the Champions League? Last time I discussed about how some people think that the Coach Manuel Pellegrini is the one to blame. However, I didn’t agree with them as I believe he did all could do. Today, I will talk about the players and their role in losing top Lyon. I really believe that the only reason behind Real Madrid shocking exiting is the players themselves. Iker Casillas, The Captain of Real Madrid Squad made it clear in the post match comments to the press,” We take the all responsibility, it is not the coach to blame. He [the coach] is the most suitable coach for real Madrid in the world”. I think that Casillas made a very important point. I strogly agree with him, because the tow Madrid- Lyon matches that I saw, I can tell that the players didn’t do their job well.

First, I’d like to say that the whole team failed, and not just a one player. But I want to point out one player he missed up bad in the both matches. The player one is Higuain. Higuain is known to be the top scorer for Real Madrid at this time. His scoring average is a goal every 46.7 minutes, one of the highest in Spanish league. However, he failed to score in the two matches against Lyon. In the first math Higuain did, literally, nothing in the game, not even a single chance was allowed for him. But in the second game againt Lyon, he had some good chances, but he missed taking advantage out of them. Also, in the second game against Lyon, Higuain looked more selfish. Every time the ball reached him, he tried scoring by himself. In many, in particular three very critical chances in front of the goal, Higuain could’ve passed the ball to his team-mate Ronaldo, or Kaka, but he took the shot instead. In two chances, Ronaldo was wide open and alone front the goal, but Higuain didn’t pass him the ball. The same thing happened with Kaka when he was alone front the goal but Higuain didn’t pass the ball.

Many people thing that Higuain was trying to prove himself for the Argentina coach Diego Armando Maradona , to include him in the Argentina squad. Others just say that Higuain feel jealous of Cristiano Ronaldo. I think it might be little of the both. Higuain wants very bad to be in the Argentina squad in the World Cup 2010, which I believe made him little bit selfish in the game.



HOWEVER, I would like to say the same thing again, Higuain is just one of the eleven players who to blame for the shocking exit of Real Madrid. Real Madrid made winning this trophy, Champions League title, their top priority this season, but unfortunately, they failed. All the Real Madrid’s fans just hope that the league title won’t go away as well. There are ten games left in the league, and Real Madrid leading it, only by goal differences. The day after tomorrow, Sunday, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid in the El Derbi madrileño.


Viva Real Madrid

Who to blame for the Shocking Exit? The coach?

GoodBye Champions League :(



Real Madrid’s shocking exit from the Champions League have raised many question about the Los Blancos , Real Madrid. Some of the questions are how good is Real Madrid ? The most important question to be answered, is who to blame?, Or in other word, What is missing in the team? Real Madrid’s president has gone into the media of all sports newspaper by him spending over 270million Euro in summer transfers to bring only 9 players to the club. He hoped by bringing the best players in the world will make the team unbeatable and to regain its repetition of being the Royal Club in Euro. However, he failed to do so by exiting the Champions league in the first knock out round. After this shocking exit, some people blamed the player, others the coach, even some went to blame the president of the club, Florentino Pérez. In this blog I will try to answer whether the coach is who to blame or not. ((in the picture both the president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez, and the Coach Manuel Pellegrini))




Many people like to blame the coach Manuel Pellegrini, the head coach, for the shocking exit from the Champions League. Me personally, I like Manuel Pellegrini's tactics and the way he makes the players play on the field. He is known to not play with wingers, instead, he likes to play with center strikers in front the goal, which is the perfect style for Real Madrid. At the starting of the season , everything was going all well with five wins in row. But the criticism came when Real Madrid lost to Alcorcon in Copa del Rey. It took a while until he gained the confident of the fans again. He was praised when the team recovered from the lost and got to win streak again in the Liga and the first round of group stages in Champions league. But the biggest criticism came after Lyon’s match in the first knock out round of the Champions League. He, I don’t know why, let Mahamadou Diarra to play as a starter, although he just came back from an injury. Also, he had much more better players than him to play the midfield position. But no he chose Mahamadou Diarra instead. This is the reason why I think that Real Madrid couldn’t create real chances, because of the lack of a strong midfielder. Although some people may say that it doesn't make sense to a single player to affect the result for the entire match, but in fact it does. Because, if a team has a solid midfield, then it will be very easy to create goals. Another criticism over Manuell Pellegrinies was in the second round of the champions league, when Real Madrid tied 1-1 with Lyon. After Lyon scored, he surprised everyone by substituted KaKa with Raul.




I can’t deny that he made some wrong decisions in very few matches, but I have to admit, he is one of my favorite coaches. The style he plays with, and his substitutes during the games are very clever. He build some good players in the team, who were not known before. Some of these players are van der Vaart , Garay, and Granero. In addition, he makes Real Madrid players play whole as a one team, instead of individual players. Since he took the mission of coach, Real Madrid is playing great, way better than the past years. He makes the players go in one rhythm, passes the ball beautifully between them. Some people are very admired by the way Real Madrid is playing as they went to say the this team is the best team in Real Madrid in the last twenty years. So, I guess that we can't blame The coach for very very few mistakes he made, which I'm pretty sure every coach has his bad days.

New Era of Real Madrid, Champions League + the La Liga title

Real Madrid most wanted trophy !!



Real Madrid are playing their best season matches, they have won their last 6 games and scoring 21 goals. Making their average scoring rate around 4 goals for each match. After watching their last two matches in Spanish league, I can say with confidence, if they keep it the same way, then the La Liga title will surely be for Madrid. Now Real Madrid is only two points behind the Barcalona, who hold the first place, in the La Liga. However, Real Madrid are not doing so well on champions League competition. They had their first match in knock out stages against Olympique Lyonnais, two weeks ago. They lost one to nothing. Unfortunately, this was not what I expected from Real Madrid, the worst thing I could've' imagined is a draw, but no, we lost L.

I saw Real Madrid's match against Olympics Lyon, and I have to admit, we sucked big time. Real Madrid didn't play as a team, they had no any real chances again Lyon. Every time Real Madrid tried to get close to Lyon's side, Lyons' players cut the ball. I don't know why, but they seemed so confuse. Kaka-Ronaldo, were like ghost, thought Ronaldo had just a few chances at the end of the game. But still, he played his worst game of the season. This thing does not go just for Ronaldo and Kaka; nonetheless, this goes for all the players. Starting from Iker Casillas,the goal keeper, to Real Madrid's top scorer, Higuain. Real Madrid showed nothing at whole. Higuain was like an extra player on the pith, I'm not even sure if he even touched the ball. Pellegrini, tried to fix things up by letting Benzema play instead of Higuain, but Benzema was not better than Higuain at whole. The match was the same. I'm just glad in one way, is that Real Madrid only lost by one, not more. Because, Lyon had so many chances, but they didn't work to use them well.

Many people think that Real Madrid's lost was because of Pellegrini, the coach. They think that Pellegrini did a mistake when he let Mahamadou Diarra play from the beginning the beginning of the match, although he has just returned from an injury. But I think this is not just Pellegrini's fault, I say it is the team's fault. From my perspective, from what I see in Real Madrid recent matches, I might know what is wrong. I believe it is Real Madrid's defense. Their defense is nothing like before, I mean when Pepe used to be play. I noticed that Lyon's players , even other teams, had no hard time to get in deep Real Madrid defense. This is the same thing Pellegrini told the press after the math, "We had no defense, we didn't play well, they deserve the win"

Anyway, feeling sorry and being mad would not benefit Real Madrid. Real Madrid still has a chanse to qualify to the next stage of Champions League if they win over Lyon. They will meet again at the Santiago Bernabeu, at Madrid, on March 10. Real Madrid has to win by two goals in order to qualify. For me, winning the champions League title is more important than winning the La liga ttile. I'm somewhat glad that Real Madrid lost. It is not that I don't want them to win. But now, at least Pellegrini will put more efforts and focus more on improving the team. Because I know, with this poor defense performance there is no way we can win the Champions League title.

Champions League plus La liga...... What an upcoming week!
















&


With their recent win over Espanyol, and the great soccer show they presented in their last sthree matches, Real Madrid will be playing , not very threatening club Xerez. Xerez is at the bottom of the league table with only two wins from 21 play. While Real Madrid have a total of 16 wins from 21 game. I don’t even need to mention any numbers, simply because there is no comparison when it comes about the royal club Real Madrid against this simple club Xerez. For the unlucky Xeresclub, Real Madrid will be playing the match without major injuries in the team players, except a couple. The ‘beast’, Cristiano Ronaldo will be making his come back in the match, after being banned for tow matches. So the Real Madrid’s squad will be full of stars. Hopefully they will make it through and take the easy three points from Xerez.


Real Madrid is entering tomorrow’s match with high hopes and confidence for many reasons. First of all, is because their amazing performance that they showed in the last three matches. Only the last week, Real Madrid won over a strong competitor Espanyol with three goals to nothing. Real Madrid vs Espanyol 3-0. They started the match with in a good way; by scoring the first goal in the fifth minute. It was from Granero’s cross who made the ball curve directly on Sergio Ramos head, who easily put the ball in the net. As I always say, Real Madrid doesn’t ever get enough from scoring; they always go behind the second goal and that what was obvious in the match. After they scored, Real Madrid was still putting ,many efforts to score the second goal. They were close to score in many occasions, but the LEGENDARY Espanyol goalkeeper Idriss Kameni did a great job not letting Real to score again. Anyway, after 25 minutes from the first goal, former AC Milan star Ricardo Kaka kicked the ball which bounced back from the goal keeper after a head kick from Raul. There were many chances for both teams for the rest of the math, as Real Madrid were trying to keep their lead and Espanyol were looking for their first goal. In the middle of the send half, the best, the top scorer, Real Madrid striker, Gonzalo Higuain entered the field along with his teammate mid fielder Rafael van der Vaart. The both player didn’t played for the last three matches because of injuries. The moment Higuain had his foot on the field, I know something is coming. And I wasn’t wrong; Higuain didn’t disappoint me as he scored the third goal for Real Madrid after a beautiful pass from Van der vaart.


Beside tomorrow’s match against Xerez, Real Madrid will face Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions league on Tuesday. This match is from the stage 16, knock out stage, of the champions’ league. I’m pretty optimistic about the two matches, because Xerez is not a threatening team, and the Olympique Lyonnais aren’t not playing their best season in France league. Another thing that comes in mind is Barcelona’s (holds the the first place with 5 points ahead of Real Madrid) math against Atletico de Madrid. I would repeat what Van Der Vaart said in the press conference, “hopefully Real Madrid will win over Xerez, and then cheer for Atletico de Madrid against Barcelona.”....

"Real Madrid is not one man team"

All my worries were for nothing. It’s funny how I was doubtful about Real Madrid’s match last week. Again they proved themselves, “[Real Madrid] is not a one man team”, as Pellegrini said at the end of last week’s match conference. A victory by three goals to one over Deportivo La Coruna was what Real Madrid needed to get their confidence back and continue their race over the title. The match against Deportivo was so threatening because of the many absences in the Real Madrid’s squad, but still they managed to perform some of their best matches.





The match started by Benzema, Raul, and Guti in the starting position, who are usually on the bench, on normal matches, thanks to the many absences in the team. Real Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruña 3-1 [30/01/10] Full Highlights and Goals. As soon as the referee started the game, Real Madrid started their attempts of scoring. As securing a goal at the beginning of the match would make the match safer for Real Madrid. That exactly what happened at the 13th minute, when Real Madrid’s new star Esteban Granero came into action. With the ball moving between 5 heads, it finally came to Granero’s head where he hit it and led it to the net. Still after this goal, Real Madrid’s continued their attacks for a second goal. And the moment finally came at the 40th minute, which was a result of a fantastic team play. The ball started from the goal keeper of Real Madrid, iker Casillas, all the way to Deportivo’s net by Karim benzema. The goal was amazing because it involved quick passes between the players who played like they memorized the scenario of scoring. And the best part was the finishing, as the ball reached Guti from Kaka, he was by himself facing the goal keeper, but instead of hitting the ball towards the target, he passed the ball smoothly with his back heel to the coming Karim Benzema who put it easily in the new. Guti's amazing backheel pass . After this goal, Real Madrid started to play slowly and focused more on defending side more than attacking. The game was lwent like this until Deportiva started it real attemps on Real Madrid’s net. They succeed by getting a penalty kick five minutes before the end of the match. After the goal, and Real Madrid only leading by one, Deportiva players put more pressure on Real Madrid, but the ending word came from Benzeema again. He scored the final goal of the math in the 90’s minute, which was also a result of perfect team, playing.







V.S.


For today’s match, against Espanyol, Real Madrid is in a better shape. Gonzalo Higuain, and Mahamadou Diarra will be able to play in the match. However, Cristiano Ronaldo will not play because of the banning of two matches, tomorrow math is the second. So real Madrid has a better chance in winning, since Espanyol, are not playing their best season, as well as the coach of Espanyol was lately substituted. For me, Real Madrid are playing every game to their maximum, because they know the leader, Barcalona, will not lose points easily. So keeping the difference five points is good, but making the difference bigger might mean losing the title.

Can real Madrid win over Deportivo La Coruna without their top stars?












Vs



Tomorrow’s match, Real Madrid against Deportivo La Coruna will be one of the most exciting and frightening matches for real Madrid. For me, I’ll be glad if we even won by one goal, although whenever Real Madrid plays I want them to score as many goals as they can, but not for tomorrow’s match, one goal is enough. Deportivo La Coruna is not like any Real Madrid’s previous opponents, it is against a team which is holding the fifth position in the league table, which is quite good. Also they have had some good games recently, except the one they had in “Copa del Rey”, when they lost against Sevilla.



And to make the case worst, Real Madrid will miss some of his best players’ services as they go with a squad containing of four players from the reserved squad. With Cristiano Ronaldo being suspending for the next two matches, Gonzalo Higuain suffering from an injury, Real Madrid will play tomorrow’s match without their best scorers. Other players who will be missing in tomorrow’s match are Ezequiel Garay, Pepe(defenders), Fernando Gago, and Mahamadou Diarra(Midfielders). Another thing is that the last time Cristiano missed a game; Real Madrid lost two matches and had draw on another, that was back in 20009 at the beginning of the league. Then now, what if Ronaldo missing with punch of other top stars of the team, how will they win tomorrow?


Another thing that makes me doubtful about tomttow’s match is because of Real Madrid’s latest performance. As I discussed earlier in my blog, Real Madrid have not been the same since the start of the New Year. Even after their 2-0 victory over the Malga last week, I still believe they aren’t as good as before. They could’ve lost the match if it wasn’t for Cristiano, and the huge efforts of Xavi Alonso and Guti. Real Madrid vs Malaga 2-0 Full Highlights and Goals . They started the match with a weak performance, and it could’ve cost them, if it was no Iker Casillas to stop the opponents from scoring. It was until the mid of the first half when I noticed Real Madrid began to organize and focus more on making real threat on Malga’s net. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two astonishing goals giving his team a win over Malga. His goals proved that Cristiano is still in his shape and can do much better. There were not any other real chances after the two goals, and nothing really happened except that Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off just before the match end by 20 minutes.





For the Red card that was shown for Cristiano Ronaldo, I think he kind of deserve it, although I will miss him at the same time for tomorrow’s match. The referee sent Cristiano off when he hit Malga’s player with his elbow. As a result, Malga’s player will not be able to play for the next three week, as he suffers from a nose break. Many people believe that it wasn’t intentional and the punishment is excessive for an elbow hit, but me personally, I think he deserves it. Ronaldo in his last four matches he had a bad temper, and always used to shout on referee’s decisions. I believe that all this was because of him not scoring. He didn’t score since there last match in 2009 against (Real Zaragoza) until last week’s match. Also, the player who Ronaldo hit was injured severely as he will miss 3 weeks. So yeah, it was a right punishment.


I’ve never been this afraid from any team Real Madrid played against like I’m for tomorrow’s match. There are many questions need to be answered. Does Pellegrini, the coach, have something espical for us? Can he make Real Madrid win without his stars? If real lost their math, which hopefully will not happened, then it might mean that winning the league title would be hard, if now impossible.

Real Madrid vs Against Malga... a Match can't be other than winning for Real











Vs



All Real Madrid’s fans are waiting for the Sunday game against Malga club in Bernabeu stadium. This match may not seems too threatening for Real Madrid, as Malga holds the 16th in the ranking table of the Spanish league ,La liga, but still everything is possible in the soccer. On the other side, Real Madrid has to prove that they still are in competition for the League title. The lost in the last match had cost Real Madrid to be behind Barcelona which currently leading by five points. Also they are just ahead of Valencia by only three points, so they even can drop to the third place if they loses and Valencia wins. So real Madrid really needs to win the game for both keeping him in competition and get back its repetition as one of the greatest clubs in the World.



Real Madrid has been facing a lot of arguments recently because of their poor performance in the last three matches in the league, only winning in one match, drawing for the other, and loosing in the last match. Also, Real Madrid’s players are facing pressures as well, especially there recently moved players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Karim Benzema. They didn’t have the impact that they fans were excepting them to have on the club. They were the best players in their previous clubs, but unfortunately, not as good in Real Madrid. The reason for it I think might be the new style of play which might be different from what they used to play in.



For the Sunday Matches, I believe Real Madrid will real show their true ability. For now, I believe that the only problem for real Madrid is scoring. From what I’ve seen in there last match, Highlithes Real Madrid VS Athletic Bilbao 0-1, they had ton of chances and made a big threat on Athletic de Bilbao goal, but they were unfortunate, in other words I would just say missing the last touch to score. The evidence is they very close ion scoring five times, but in each time the ball refused to enter, was it earthier from rebounding from the goaly or missing by little. Even the match was just played by one side, Real Madrid, the other team didn’t have any chanse except at the very beginning of the match when they score. The reason for not scoring might be because they are missing there top scorer Higuain. He is currently off for more two week due to a leg injury. He just showed how a great player he is, because when he misses a match, Real’s is not the same.

Who knows, maybe there last lost will be just a start for a new Era of Real Madrid. Because as I can see, Pellegrin is kind of coach who knows when he make mistakes and tries to solve them. The last time when they lost against Barcalona in November, after that match, real Madrid played three of there best mathc in this season. Ijn fact in one of there three matches, they won six to nothing. They just played as a team and didn’t just rely on a single player, it was Real Mardid playing not,Crisiano or KaKa. This is hopefully what I want to see from them on Sunday.
Just hopefully they will win and just keep the dreams of their fans of the title alive.

Viva Real Madrid
