Atletico can not overcome its complex

Before beginning this review / analysis of Real Madrid - Atletico de Madrid, some reflections on the concept derby. Because this weekend we had the opportunity to experience several such meetings throughout the Old Continent and the Lazio-Roma, the PSG-Marseille-Porto and Benfica. And one compares for example the clash that took place in Rome's Olympic in the Santiago Bernabeu and draws a conclusion. The match between the two top clubs in the capital of Spain does not deserve to be in the same category as the Italian capital.

Why, you may ask. Nobody panic, gather the tools you had wielded Throwing. You just need to see the stands of both stage and atmosphere at both. A match that does not attend a large number of fans and other equipment is removed from the category of derby. And that is to blame the clubs and the LFP, which has never been for the work to promote travel. Would not they have been more plugged Atleti players with, say, 2,000 or 3,000 throats in the stands?

Once dismissed this thought, let us with chronic Madrid derby. One of the fighting in this most unequal of world football, with a red and white set that needs a whole plant to shed the complex psychiatrists that shakes when measured his archenemy.

The club spent ten years trying Manzanares anyway. Soberly, with temperament, in cold blood, bloody hot at the Calderon, the Bernbaéu. But it still does not beat the Real Madrid, but this time was no excuse. We talk about the best Madrid in recent years, the hand of a mere mortal has regained its overwhelming image in Europe. The mattress minutes and enjoyed a good game in the second half but never gave the impression of power even level the score.

Jose Mourinho's men have signed one of its beginnings to intimidate the rival ruthless in front of me. A style that combines style Chamartin castizo the momentum and the grip of British football. Result: Carvalho, the most profitable signing so far this league, ahead of whites admitted through a madcap of theirs. The Portuguese central Pepe has eclipsed even, and in just weeks has pervaded his teammates and has adapted to a competition as different as the Premier League. Özil, free-kick, scored the second, also in the first half.

In the second half, Atletico forward lines, which together with the local physical slump caused Forlan and Aguero had a couple of chances to have closed the gap. The visiting players claimed a penalty for hand clear Xabi Alonso. Quique Sanchez Flores surprised everyone by starting to align Mario Suarez, virtually unknown until now, but you can not judge the midfielder for a match. And over in the pure-blooded derby.

Christian, unnoticed as usual, ran a pass of magic with his back, something he did not like Raul Garcia. The Navarre had no reason, since the action was implemented and almost finished in goal from Sergio Ramos. But at least it was the only one who tried to warm the atmosphere and give the party a slight scent derbi.
