Permanence sell side

Only four days for the 2010/11 season in the Spanish league see the checkered flag, and the truth is that emotion is in the lower, with a practically defined champions, two teams far above the rest and a European area with the candidates very well positioned, just knowing if Villarreal and Valencia occupy the third place that gives direct access to the Champions League, a position for the Europa League and, above all, what equipment will be part of the silver division next season is what keeps the interest dates remaining in our league. Certainly disappointing.

Regarding the places that give access to the Europa League, there will be three to four teams after the victory over Athletic Espanyol, since the square of the Cup will go to the seventh seed. This was the way in which Villarreal agreed this year to the younger sister of the Champions League. So we will focus on the fight to avoid relegation: a stay in which nine teams are involved, if not more, and not be sold cheap for those who want to stay another year in the top flight. There is a team that only mathematics tell you otherwise, but unless major surprise next year fight to get back to first: a Almería which has 26 points and even winning is everything you would have many opportunities to save. The rest is in the fight.

Suffice it to say that on the last day, the first three league succumbed to three teams involved in the fight to avoid the second division to account for the sell side to relegation. Next to Almeria are Hercules, with 33 points, and Getafe, with 37, who currently occupy the relegation places. With a point and Osasuna Deportivo found, and 39, Malaga and Zaragoza. Racing has 40, while the Royal Society adds one more than the team Santander. Hence the barrier will mark the teams are mired in the fight, because above are Sporting and Mallorca with 42 and Levante with 43. A barrier, the 42-point, often stressed as necessary for salvation, but it is true that, as things stand, a couple of defeats could change everything.

And those 42 points are not secure. In fact, in recent seasons they have been certified. In 2007/08, the Zaragoza down with those 42 points, and the following year was Betis who came to that amount and was unable to avoid relegation. Last year was different: Zaragoza, Sporting, Racing and Malaga were saved by an amount less than 42. Each season is different, but this is unlikely to be more like the previous ones and will require a good amount of points to ensure permanence.

Several aspects are likely to be taken into account when assessing a fight to avoid relegation, and there is one that is fundamental: how does a team arrive at this stretch of the season, his last run, the morale and confidence in achieving In order to avoid relegation. To do this put two examples: last year, fell Xerez, but it was not until the last day when it ended its low at first when the first round seemed gone down. With Gorosito on the bench and Mario Bermejo with a superb scoring form, the Andalusian team kept its options until the last day.

At the opposite could have at Betis, who two years ago stepped up to the same shaky ground last day thanks to a dreadful run at the end of the season. There is no point having more points than the other missing several days if a final slump shows that were not achieved enough. On the other hand, we must also consider what remaining rivals and what they play, it will not be the same Madrid face a head elsewhere - like on the last day - that an athlete who plays it all and one example. Soon begin to sound the word hard case. Hopefully that will not stop to Madrid or Barcelona, ​​it would lose as a safety pin.

The situation of those involved

Will mark the last seven days as a benchmark to measure how teams arrive to this final part ofto season. As we said, it is frankly difficult Almeria to stay and win the next day though, it could be and to verify its descent. With six straight losses, the team has added Oltra only one point in the last seven dates. The Hercules is not so complicated but is farther than the rest, five points below the line marking permanency. With an irregular streak, has added seven of the last 21 points and the schedule is favorable, it plays three games at home to Racing, Mallorca and Sporting, while visiting the Calderon in the penultimate round.

Getafe has fallen for the first time in the relegation zone on the final day, a fight which is strange after the last good seasons the club mallard. Curious would be the face that he would be the business group that recently bought the club from Madrid if the drop is consumed. Only a win and a draw in the last seven days is the baggage of the team of Michel, which he is receiving at Almeria and Osasuna and visit Madrid and Real Sociedad. Deportivo is another team that has achieved poor results in recent days, hence that is one point above relegation. Seven points in the last seven games and a complicated calendar: Sporting and FC Barcelona will visit and get in Riazor to Athletic and Valencia.

Osasuna yesterday joined three golden points against the team that allowed ché not fall to the relegation zone. A victory which comes after four consecutive defeats challenging the dismissal of Camacho and Mendilibar arrival. Visit the fiefs of Zaragoza and Getafe, rivals, and will host Sevilla and Villarreal. Another who scored three points for gold in the last day was the Racing, which came in doubt after two consecutive defeats. The problems with defaults and Syed Ali, what we will talk soon, have certainly been a team that had washed his face with the arrival of Marcelino to the bench. Has added ten points in the last seven games and left him to visit the camps of Hercules and Sporting and Athletic Athletic and welcome.

The two best teams come to this stretch are Malaga and Zaragoza, who finally see how the methods of Pellegrini and Aguirre after having both very pretty bad some days ago. Zaragoza has added 12 points in the last 21, while Manchester has won 16 thanks largely to a stellar Júlio Baptista . When he is receiving Zaragoza Osasuna and Espanyol and visit Levante Real Sociedad, while the remainder will visit Malaga and San Mames Calderón and receive Sporting and FC Barcelona.

We left the Royal Society, after five straight defeats has returned to winning ways for six points in the last nine, allowing you to stay one step of sealing the stay. With 41 points in the box, he is visiting Valencia and Seville and Zaragoza and Getafe welcome.
