Real Madrid’s Mess

Posted on by

Jose MourinhoFor a team like Real Madrid, left behind to 15 points from the top standings, plus a number of recent controversies have sprung up, making them look messy.

Jose Mourinho, in fact, began to decline in popularity when Marca – identical major daily Spanish as a supporter of El Real – displays a poll at the end of December. The results are quite surprising, that most Madridista agree if the Special One was fired.

The poll was published just a few days after Mourinho put Iker Casillas in the substitute bench in a league match against Malaga, Madrid supporters who made the commotion.

They further disbelief when in the next game, against Real Sociedad, Mourinho again pulled the goalie’s number one Spanish. Casillas was lucky because only eight minutes of languishing on the bench, because Antonio Adan’s red card.

Incidence odor Los Blancos came back three days ago. Sergio Ramos getting two yellow cards against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey, and a red card suspension was compounded by the decision of the referee 5 games because of rebuke.

And at 12/01/2013 night, Madrid just getting the score 0-0 from a trip to the headquarters of Osasuna. The really bad thing is, the status of Osasuna at kickoff was caretaker team!

Another note from Infostrada is, it was the first time since April 2012, Real Madrid drew 0-0 in a league match La. Also, Madrid is four times this season failed to score in the first half. In the previous three games, failure is fruitful defeat, from Sevilla, Betis and Malaga.

However, the worst effect of the draw with Osasuna is, Madrid are now 15 points adrift of league leaders while, Barcelona. In fact, when Barca beat Malaga tonight, it’s the difference to 18 points. The most trivial logic is, to match the scoring Los Cules, Madrid have won six times and had to defeat his rival to six times. That is, the chances of Madrid to retain the championship title is very small.

Interestingly, Mourinho lightly accept the results of the series. Not attacking anyone, do not criticize anyone.

Manchester United do it when bringing Eric Cantona to Old Trafford where he established himself as a player at the right time and the right club. He became a catalyst and starting point for the resurrection of our success. No need to recruit players who break the transfer record; Eric recruited only a few million. Cristiano Ronaldo did not break the transfer record but he has certainly made a difference because he grew up with us to the point where he was rated by many as the world’s best players.

Manchester United also do not spend a lot of money for van Persie, but as they are now approaching the midpoint of the season, Fergie did not hesitate to say that Persie has made a vital difference in chances to snatch the title this season.
