The Real Madrid CF won without too much trouble in a match Granada CF whose analysis will into the background after the fire caused by Cristiano Ronaldo with his statements in the mixed zone. Mourinho's team again showed the same symptoms that led him to lose points in the first two days, far below the level shown in his brilliant start around the Supercopa. The Madrid game is far from being in good health by a series of small evils that are no more than a simple malaise, but that if they are not remedied in time, can lead to a more troubling disorder.
The biggest difference with the runaway team last year (or the first hour of last Thursday) is the intensity. In the three league games BBVA Madrid has not bitten as he often did. No press and block attackers quickly retracted, causing the team to split into two with some ease and give too many attacks or danger to its rival.
One cause easier to bring to the table is that the physical state of this is considerablmente conditioned by the past and the future. On one side is the summer tour, which always reduces the effectiveness of the pre-season preparation, on the other we have the white obsession: The Tenth. Mourinho does not want his army tired to get the most important battles because meanwhile dismissed all football analysis, that seems to be the only reason (or at least the main) by which whites lost to Bayern in the semis of the last edition of the Champions. The mental approach to the reconquest of the Champions provoke also a certain lack of hunger in the domestic championship, and won back the previous year.
Physically the fault is not with the players, many of them cargadísimos because of the European Championship or the Olympics. The preseason is something kind of economic managers who agree with the manager. But in the mental realm footballers have their own. The same problem Mourinho said after falling to Getafe , very concerned about the state of concentration and the level of awareness of their players when facing the league start. Although the Portuguese coach can not (or should not) washing hands, precisely because their methods of awareness often go by subjecting a high degree of pressure on his players. Yes, so far it is working well. The last shows we have in the press conference last weekend: after tough message to his players, his eleven elected at the Bernabeu subdued Barca as he had never made a Mourinho team.
So, far from an optimal level both physically and mentally, the Madrid went to the Granada least two marches. Modric premiered ownership (by Özil), Di María Callejón saved half a game with one eye on Benzema Siqueira and regained his place in tip. The grenade Anquela not made things easy for his rival watched much behind, before giving the ball to the space. The Madrid, possession of more than comfortable for you, was not speed combinations and with their loss and the slow withdrawal of some players previously discussed, the Granada found many departures and arrivals quite near the framework advocated by Casillas.
Today was the typical party where many do not ask if Madrid do not play better accompanying Alonso touch with someone who better than Khedira. Now, of course, with the Barn QPR The indicated would Modric, but the Croatian, as already pointed out the other day , has come to play in the playmaker, not parallel to Tolosa. And when we play better we reduce the matter to the Madrid simply have more possession, but to further dominate his opponent switching to an expert in the cutting specialist clothing.
Oblivious to this debate, I decided the match Cristiano Ronaldo, a type capable of the best and the worst. The best thing is that half time, with his bad leg and barely angle, hits the ball with strength and conviction, take a moment goalkeeper blandiblú, and with one touch puts game face. And then, to top it off, when his team's locker room is cold, take the first opportunity after the break to put distance between. 2-0: Case terminated. The Portuguese star did not execute any of the two goals, to the amazement general. Ten minutes after his second goal, left the field limping. His ailment, physics, does not seem worried.
Shortly after 2-0, Granada were reduced to ten men after a second yellow de Borja Gomez. Any hint of a miracle could happen Nazari was out. Benzema and Higuain coincided half hour on the lawn and a connection between the third and final emerged as Madrid, designed by the Argentine. Against an opponent surrendered and after physical tute on Thursday, the party did not invite that Madrid will strive more, there was no need, so it would not be fair to ask too much brilliance in the last stretch of the game.
Still, the league version of Madrid in the league is far from the course it took to get past an unassailable for FC Barcelona. Quite the contrary: at the Bernabeu, with rivals such as Granada, not much more accurate, but at this intensity can lose points with the strongest rivals Granada, especially in the fields they go away. A veteran school teacher would spare the time to put this one needs improvement in Madrid notes.
