Seven points are nothing

I hope not to be taken at face value the headline: seven points, an amount that today takes the Real Madrid to Barcelona, ​​is a considerable difference, more than two games, but considering the remainder, 18 league games, 54 points in the game, with a competition like the Champions League which both parties can influence the performance league, saying that the league is asking for too much doomed. But if the persecutor is the best team in recent years. Everything depends on this time, in addition to his football and Real Madrid will be able to manage their advantage, they have the mentality and enough conviction that the comeback is possible.

They tend to exaggerate every week, every calendar date, as if extrajese the whole, as if we focus too much on one point and we olvidásemos that is part of a line. This is football and anything can change in just a few days: if Barcelona win the league next game at home against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and has a trip outside in Getafe neighbor's house, the difference is reduced to four points , does not it no longer seems so much? many things can happen by the end of the season, a slump, major injuries, drop in performance ...

I guess these seven points will be differently depending on the color from which to observe, as the party that you have seven minutes and a team is winning by one goal to zero: the winner will see those seven minutes like an eternity, while the loser will be watching like a sigh. The classification is shown in reverse but the same idea: the Madrid see those seven points as a soluble lead, while the rival Barca will see it as a world.

The next two weeks could be crucial: the Madrid rest during the week while Barcelona will meet their dual match against Valencia butler. If Barcelona lose more distance it could be a considerable loss, otherwise the gap will remain in league. Then comes the Champions League, where both have commitments, will have its sights set on CSKA and Bayer Leverkusen and will be careful not to get confused in the local tournament. Then they could reach the quarterfinals, semifinals ... too many guesses as to take nothing for granted.

What I fail to understand is that, if not the Barcelona If Barcelona see the league as something so far away. I'm surprised that a club has won thirteen of the last sixteen titles and has amazed the world throw in the towel so easily. It is true that Real Madrid never give up you know, never give anything lost until there is no option, only a few days ago proved it again when back almost a tie in the Nou Camp that seemed lost. In Barcelona it costs more, but has not accumulated merits Barca to believe in your team?. This Barcelona now has the perfect opportunity to show that it is great when they are well given.

One thing is clear: the mother has in her hands. It is the responsibility of the crabber, like the Formula 1 pilot has been difficult to overtake but to teach the teeth to cause the possible error. Real are fulfilled in every game, sometimes loosely and others suffering and lifts, while Barcelona is failing too away from home. But this is football, if the absence of eighteen days is impossible to trace a difference of seven points off and let us leave.
