MATCH TOUR
“Atletico” - “Real” M. “Matrasniki” have not won “creamy” since October 1999. Now their chances are quite high. First of all, due to the fragmentation of the guest ranks. Champions match with Bayern showed: Fabio Capello is unable to act in unison with the players. Suppose he once had a super-attacking “Roma”, and before that, ten years ago, no less vivid “Real”, in his heart he is an apologist for defense. And when it comes to building a new team, the strategy is already outlined. After all, it’s logical to do what works best. Defending “Real” - it is disgraceful and partly even funny. However, it is futile. The impression that Beckham and Cassano returned to service was not Capello at all, but circumstances. Another thing is Javier Aguirre. He also came to Atlético with the stigma of a defender, but no one was stopping his team from attacking.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue“Getafe” - “Seville”. Guests match is important as self-affirmation. The main matches of the national championship team rarely succeed. In the game - that's for sure. “Getafe” to direct competitors is difficult to rank, but the team is just right for testing the strength.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEWThe credibility of the steering “Getafe” Bernd Schuster is growing with each round. From the suburbs of Madrid they predicted the way to the capital itself, where the pre-storm situation developed in the same "Real". Rumor has it that Fabio Capello even filed a letter of resignation. On the board of directors, it was not satisfied, although its representatives generally deny the existence of such a statement. The president of Munich, Franz Beckenbauer, hastened to refute the interest in Schuster from Bavaria. But smoke, as you know, can’t be without fire.
IMPORTANT WORDS“Our team has modest financial opportunities. But, if anything, it’s more than enough to participate in the second finance division. Therefore, having fallen in rank, we won’t let anyone go. Football players should think about it,” - President of Real Sociedad Miguel Fuentes .
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS5 out of 7 games this week won the Spanish clubs in European competition. Could not get hold of victories only “Valencia”, who made peace with “Roma”, and “Barcelona”, lost to “Liverpool”. However, all the Pyrenees teams still continue the international path: 7 out of 7 started - 100 percent.
