Real Madrid won their first “final” before the Almería
Those of Juande Ramos, who had argued that each impact at the end of the tournament would be seen as a final, were gray in the first half, which advanced with a goal from Marcelo, but improved their performance in the second, the Dutchman Klaas Jan Huntelaar said with so many other two.
Hugo hesitated between Crown and Pablo Piatti andalusia enacted to replace the ex-Negredo canterano-white has not played any of the forms, because the agreement between both clubs, and finally opted for the Argentine, with the Nigerian Kalu Uche, before the first time clear-headed and in 7 minutes, including tip.
Everest, Angliru, Tourmalet, the Alps … are several ways in which historians refer to the demanding journey in which a team is facing, so then to the first four falling in the tournament. Having succumbed in the first two ENVIT at Sevilla (2-1), and at home to Barcelona (0-2), the team came andalusia andalusian Bernabéu not fit with the spirit of a defeat that could show the way complicated areas.
So were the Andalusians who took the lead, before a Madrid had been averted for winning eleven matches of the tournament and, aware that nothing but his own end, the rip of Barcelona, could not allow a setback to forced to invoke the congregations of nails as a psychological burning for the next ten.
Juande cleared the Gago and Marcelo doubt in favor of it and did not play Jose Maria Gutierrez ‘Guti’, whom the coach called manchego not.
The brilliant midfielder madrileño be faced with his coach when he replaced him during the past Madrid derby, when he joined from the bench for a few minutes remaining sealed the hecatomb of Anfield and did not play due to injury in Bilbao, official version that some doubt . This time not even entered the list. Something wrong with Guti.
And maybe more of a nostalgia about it, because until 21, when the ‘pencil’ Piatti tried to emulate, in fruitless Chilean modes Footballer of technical mastery was rojiblanco.
But moving to Madrid and pulse, just after take after the rejection that followed a lack launched by Sneijder, Marcelo zambombazo hooked with a right leg-la ‘mala’ and opened the scoring. Not something that was a turning point.
At least in the first act, which was the only white people who gave their hobby, which, together with the few followers of Almería, Bernabéu was a nearly full, except in the space usually reserved for the Ultras Sur, which came after the break to pay tribute to “Manito.”
Acasiete Peruvian with very secure back and occasionally joining the attack, the attack continued Almería, so shy, but insistently, to the extent that Mané, failing three times to rest, put to the test Iker Casillas, the value secure the premises.
Football back in the early hours and rioja andalusia Bernabéu did in sunny days, but from the local perspective, the party seemed to have started at five in the afternoon shade, until two consecutive flashes Marcelo-stringer and a ball to another cleared a corner that Diego Alves in the first five minutes of the restart-best prospect now for the subscriber madrileño.
And these appeared Huntelaar, questioned at the beginning and that has finally begun to verify that something is called “The Hunter.” In the eighth scored the second. And at 20, took the rejection of Alves, in a speech to his great compatriot Arjen Robben, to ‘kill’ the party. With his second. The eighth since he wears white.
Almería had already made the change of ‘Ortíces’ (Joseph entered by Juanma) when the Crown entered by Uche injured but eventually deflated, the evidence of the marker. On the local side came by Gago Lass rioja Metzelder and Pepe did prior to Miguel Torres to replace Heinze, who saw the yellow and not fifth game in Malaga. Where the next play Madrid final.
