Much Málaga, Madrid shortly

The Málaga CF continues to grow, step by step, slowly but surely, and yet despite its economic problems. He finished as first in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League (which is his first) and is fourth in the league, just two points in the third, which is none other than rival last night. Real Madrid, meanwhile, continues to fall in the pit floor which has gotten. After starting the year winning the Supercopa Barca in Champions could only manage second in the group and in league competition which is the defending champion, is now nothing more and nothing less than sixteen points behind.

The match last night, beyond the curiosity aroused about their technical-Pellegrini, former Real Madrid and as perfect antithesis of all that is and what is not Mourinho and the Portuguese coach himself as persona non grata in Malaga, was marked by a bombshell: Casillas was not the keeper of whites. It will discuss in a separate post and here we will focus on the match itself.

Madrid started better, which is almost three minutes into the goal with a free-kick from Cristiano Ronaldo which Knight responded superbly. But beyond that occasion tempranera, the visiting team was the one that marked where he had to dispute the first sets. Was right about the pressure and managed to stifle much of Málaga game, a team that has bought into the idea to its logical Pellegrini and entails, inter alia, that the patadón is practically prohibited.

Not that I agree that the Madrid lacks punch, but can only be a matter of semantics. Whites are stuck: whenever steal a ball closer to the goal of one's rival, released one of its claws and always ends up creating danger. What they lack, in fact, is aiming. His attackers are not too thin and suffering from a large intermittency in performance: Di Maria, Ozil and Benzema did not just do a good complete game, much less, maintain an outstanding level in two straight. So, Christian is pulling the car: in the first part of yesterday, in which his team was superior to rival offensive captured the entire volume theirs.

The Madrid Malaga was better but came to know suffering and not deviate from his game idea. This season the way through the locker room always feel terrible team hundred points (already started to look at the back of the Supercup), especially when it comes to intermediate advantage on the scoreboard. Yesterday, as so often already this season, came out of the locker room cold, took advantage of the circumstance to preempt Malaga: Joaquin assistance Isco and perfect definition. On the orders of the Engineer, the Puerto de Santa María has increased its performance with the freedom he has to leave the band by surprise, while the young of Benalmádena is growing rapidly, with a goal yesterday celebrating his recent appointment as European Young Player.

The goal of the game blew anchovies. Malaga is the advantage grew and took over the contest through control of the ball. Entered Madrid, under the orders of his coach, in the dynamics of swap, a contest improvised already been done in other many games in which they have been behind on the scoreboard: some changes seems so surreal that it is not known if they are the result of a genius or a madman (that, as always, it usually marks the end result).

The first to give way was Arbeloa, for input Alley. The boy for all of Mourinho, who yesterday played in the left lane and, therefore, we made many wonder why he had not been the substituted Essien. The next change, six minutes later, Di Maria was by Kaka. The Argentine is far from his best but the Brazilian was no longer hopeless. For the umpteenth resurrection. Football Follies amid Carousel positional changes of Madrid and Malaga's finest hour, the white team found the equalizer through a forced error by Sergio Sanchez Benzema.

However, the equalizer did not order or did to Madrid to Malaga sidetracked, that in just ten minutes twice pierced the goal defended by Adam. Holy Cross, which had entered just before the tie Saviola, if proved to be a change with ability to tip the balance. Mourinho still had time to soprendernos again: Xabi Alonso was within Modric. Benzema's goal eight minutes from time only served to scare him to Malaga, then backed off to stop defending itself around your area. But we know that the Madrid attacking this through control of the ball against a team that closes not given anything right. The noise was only able to make blanks.

With the important victory last night culminates a great year Málaga football, the best balm for their institutional pains. To which must be added, of course, the pinpoint of vendetta involved have contributed to annoy the life of a rival than last year ran over twice. For his part, will leave Madrid on vacation at a terrible time. Never in his wildest dreams imagined summer Christmas reach 16 points behind Barca and Atletico 7. A sporting situation worsened until exhaustion by internal fire Mourinho continues to stoke.
