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
