Reyno football desert

For Real Madrid go to Pamplona is like going to the dentist: you have to go, but it's not like dish. And it's not because they usually have fun at the Reyno de Navarra: can you take the three points, but also come to light that some other problem. Yesterday was no exception although the story was not the same on other occasions, when Osasuna was squeezing enough to get the shame. This time the Madrid did not merit for the win in a game certainly mediocre at both teams battle far proposed a minimum required quality. The end goalless serves virtually Osasuna to leave the last place in the standings, while for the white team is a step toward increasing the already excessive distance with Barcelona.

The headlines speak of the absence through suspension of Cristiano Ronaldo and a goal disallowed Alley bad, but none of these issues seem valid to justify the tie and Madrid evil party in Pamplona. Alley's goal canceled it look good because if the player is ahead with a body part that can top with legally, the offside is well marked. Moreover it is clear that the lack of their best player has to affect, but a team with Modric, Higuain, Di Maria, Khedira and Xabi Alonso can win perfectly in many areas of Spain, including the Reyno de Navarra. There were more notable absentees, such as Sergio Ramos and Pepe, but the defense made up Albiol and Varane on its axis, made a correct match, although it was noted in the absence ball out of their central owners.

Mourinho left the play and pause on the bench to not take up the second part to Benzema and Ozil, and aligned in place direct attack and quick transition with Callejon, Di Maria, Higuain and Khedira foremost, leaving Modric close Xabi Alonso. Did not work: rarely knew Osasuna imposed on a discussion that led to his ground and did not let Real Madrid fired into the net until the 93rd minute.

Nothing worked: Higuain barely had balls, no longer exerts Alley surprise that effect last year, Di Maria did not have the spark of other times, Khedira did what he could, Modric only provided some clarity and drabs and Xabi Alonso can not do everything himself. For its part, contributed little or nothing Arbeloa and Coentrao from the sides. Just a shot from distance, an error of goal Andres Fernandez, allegedly intended for Madrid, and a clear target Coentrao gave the team a chance to get ahead on the scoreboard. Nor Osasuna just worried Casillas: as I said before, a game to forget.

In the 57th minute, Mourinho ushered Benzema and Kaka by Di Maria and Higuain, but the desired effect was not found. Ten minutes later Ozil come by Modric and only a few minutes coincide with Kaka and the Brazilian was sent off for a second yellow for a silly action, hindering a foul kick. The Brazilian was not as far removed from his leg in Sao Paulo. Nothing went well today for Mourinho. Osasuna, meanwhile, did his party, aware that the raging waters could mean its better profit. However, their passing game was well solved by Varane and Albiol, although the latter is certainly noticing nervous.

Fair distribution of points as neither did enough to merit the win. Point that serves over Osasuna in their goal of achieving permanence to Madrid in Barcelona persecution really complicated. Much would have to click the Vilanova. Too much. The Champions Cup and focus the attention Whites, but the obligation is not to neglect the league and I do not think they have done today, but the excessive distance to the leader if you can weigh in motivation, and eye with Atletico and Malaga that no cast doubt on the direct access to the Champions. And that does not take too long Christian renewal.
