MATCH TOUR
Valencia - Barcelona. The hosts stumble in the most unexpected places, and at the headquarters of the guests they seriously decide which of the leaders to sell: Ronaldinho or Eto'O. With a remark - after the acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo. Eto'O has the best chance of being out of the game. In the last round, he refused to go on the field, citing insufficient warming up. Like, I didn’t guess that Frank Rykard would release him five minutes before the end of the meeting - he quit warming up. Blue-garnet president Joan Laporta seemed to support the African. But it was his mouth that voiced the version of a possible exchange. In the camp of “Valencia” calmer. After recriminations, Commander-in-Chief Kike Flores and sports director Amedeo Carboni returned to their immediate duties.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue“Zaragoza” - “Villarreal”. In the struggle for an imaginary future, perhaps, the two most windy teams of this season will converge. In the sense that not one of them has materialized solid investments so far. Meanwhile, in “Villarreal” is no longer Riquelme, considered a style-forming player. The Argentine did not share the sphere of influence with the helmsman Pellegrini and preferred to leave for his homeland. However, he promised to return without fail. But with a different coach ...
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEWAll Spanish clubs that started in European competition continue to fight in them. This week four representatives of the UEFA Cup visited the battle: Sevilla, Osasuna, Celta and Espanyol. None of the quartets lost. The upcoming review in the Champions League. There for Spain will play “Valencia”, “Barcelona” and “Real”.
IMPORTANT WORDS“Our team does not have a strategic goal. We are generally in an interesting position. Any result above 18th place will satisfy my employers,” Getafe head coach Bernd Schuster .
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS12 consecutive matches do not bring happiness, “Celte”. Galicians could not win in the middle of November last year. Nevertheless, the head coach of the team Fernando Vazquez, even after an emergency meeting of the ruling elite of the club, remained at his post. A Thursday match with “Spartacus” considered the Galician helmsman as a dress rehearsal before meeting with “Osasuna”.
