"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 13^th 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 40^th 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.
