MATCH TOUR
Zaragoza - Seville. The first round of 2007 brought together rivals, on which we looked with curiosity and pleasure towards the finish of the year last year. Interest in “Seville” from the Russian side is now understandably increased. Through a tour or two, Alexander Kerzhakov will make his debut there. The teams are similar in style. Unless having a striking set of forwards, Sevillans sometimes manage to successfully play the second number. A Christmas break can be beneficial for Zaragoza. Aragonese know how to build a game appetite.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue“Villarreal” - “Valencia”. The least hot of the Spanish derby. But it is difficult to predict. Especially now. It is gossiping that last season the bats paid off debts for their neighbor’s loyalty in the 2004 UEFA Cup semi-finals when the Castilians without regret parted before their older brother, sending Valencia to a decisive rendezvous with Marcel. By the way, the steering guests Kike Flores already four days before the meeting called the composition of his team. Previously, this was not the case.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEWDuring the Christmas break, “Betis” replaced the head coach. Despite winning the last round of the old year, Javier Iruuret lost his post. Luis Fernandez will have to pull the Seville club out of the quagmire.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“The proposal to extend the contract was as unexpected for me as the impressive winning streak of the wards. I can’t explain the last at all. I take it for granted,” Jose Angel Siganda, head coach of Osasuna, frankly said after extending cooperation with the club until the summer of 2008 .
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS5 matches in a row won “Osasuna”, which has now the longest winning streak in the example. For the season record, Pamplona started from 17th position after 11 rounds, in which they managed to knock out three points only twice.
