TOUR EVENT
The match “Real” - “Sevilla” drew a line to the leadership showdown. More direct competitors will not play one with the other. The closing match was a sight for sore eyes. The Sevilians, who broke their ticket to the UEFA Cup final in the week, knew that they wouldn’t have enough strength for a long time, so they had to score faster. The guests completed the plan, but the delightful game of “Real” still did not leave them a chance. Wards Juande Ramos fought with a strong opponent, their own fatigue and frantic support for the stadium. Nerves were at the limit and sometimes even beyond him - the referee Perez Burrul removed two Sevilla players at once. The infallible nature of the southerners has achieved a reduction in the last minute - the Andalusians, already exhausted, climbed forward, hoping to save the match. An impressive sight. It seems that it was in the game at the Bernabéu that Sevilla said goodbye to the claims for the championship, but hell, how beautifully she did it!
HERO TOUR
Fabio Capello “Real” also had an impressive match, and although the score on the scoreboard was not Capella at all (Don Fabio will find what to shout at the wards for), it was the coach who turned the game around. The Madrid football during the season did not leave a solid impression, but won two victories over the neighbors in the Real table, correctly using its main advantage - the freshness of the reserve. Capello very timely intervened in the game substitutions. Sagging "Valencia" he slipped the stubborn Beckham, and the exhausted "Seville" - explosive Guti. And both times hit the target. Guti’s transfer to Robinho turned out to be phenomenal: the defense of “Seville” was left to hold the ball with a look behind the goal line. It was a winning ball! The role of the catch-up is clearly liked by Real Madrid and its head coach. The emotional and unrestrained football of Madrid is a direct consequence of the role of the predator, into which Real Madrid has enjoyed it. Barca should be in awe. This beast is more dangerous with each round.
TOUR FAILURE
After the home fiasco, when the “Celta” was bitten by the almost toothless “Mallorca”, the troubles of the Vigovites continued in the suburbs of Valencia. The local “Villarreal” stubbornly imposed its will on “Celte” and eventually crushed the opponent. The goal of the Mexican veteran Guillermo Franco may become a memorial for Vigo. "Celta" rolls downhill and the gap from competitors in the struggle for survival is increasing. All the nineties, the Vigovites, led by Russian legionnaires, did not just keep an example, but achieved good results in it. In the 2003/04 season, after a ten-year hiatus, Celta remembered what a flight was, and now the nomadic life is apparently becoming a habit. Hristo Stoichkov, hoping that “Celta” will become for him a springboard to a more solid club, can jump not up, but down. In the last rounds it will be curious to watch the turns of the Whig and Coaching Fates.
COURSE OF TOUR
In the middle of the first half of the game “Hispaniola” and “Atletico” injured ... lineman Teofilo Cabrera . He had to be replaced. Deprived of the opportunity to perform professional duties, the side referee began to observe the behavior of the reserve players. In the middle of the second half, Cabrere came up with a job: a mess broke out on the field and reservists actively helped partners with shouts. In this noise, Cabrera managed to figure out the loudest screamer - Barcelona Antonio Ito. The chief referee gratefully accepted the denunciation from diligent Cabrera and showed Ito a red card. The injured judge was pleased. He dropped out of the game, but did not drop out of the process, contributing to the triumph of football justice.
TREND
The championship of Spain after difficult turns taxied into the open spaces prescribed by the genes of intrigue. Finally, the table was headed by Real Madrid and Barcelona! They will fight for the title of the strongest team in Spain. Between them there are only two points - the distance of one misfire. Sevilla, apparently, could not stand the intense race, retaining, however, two cup prospects. And “Valencia” will learn the fight for gold, looking at the battle from the side. Once upon a time in Spain there was no such pronounced confrontation between the two most charismatic clubs. When Real Madrid was eager for the championship, Barca painfully searched for its game and vice versa. And so - they waited. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. One on one. Five rounds ahead!
