The French follows “giving long” the German equipment. It has said that it wants to concentrate in the sport aspect, although the certain thing is that it is using the time to decide between Barcelona or Real Madrid facing the next season.

Franck Ribéry will not follow in the Bayern Munich. The player continues receiving called on the part of his club to sit down to negotiate the renovation, but crack French does not want to speak with anybody of the German club.

Christian Nerlinger, Sport Director of the Bayern, reviewed the situation in Sky TV. “I spoke with him Saturday and it said to me that it preferred to concentrate itself in the sport aspects. I understand it perfectly. We can hope until end of season to be able to speak”.

The declarations of Nerlinger are politically correct, although they move away of the authentic reality. And it is that, the press of Germany and Spain assures that Ribéry is giving long its club, since its intention is to leave in summer, either to Barcelona, or to Real Madrid.

Bivši predsjednik Reala, Ramon Calderon, je izjavio da je klub opsjednut dovo?enjem Waynea Rooneya iz Manchester Uniteda. Rooney igra u životnoj formi ove sezone i Calderon je siguran da ?e Real ovog ljeta poslati ponudu za engleskog reprezentativca. Rooney je ove sezone zabio 30 golova, a od tiga ?ak 4 u dva me?a protiv Milana u osmini finala Lige prvaka.

Calderon ne sumnja da ?e Perez u?initi sve da dovede prvu zvijezdu Uniteda odmah nakon Svjetskog prvenstva u Južnoafri?koj republici. U intervjuu za BBC Radio Five Live, Calderon je rekao:

“Mislim da je Florentino Perez opsjednut time da dovede Rooneya. Me?utim, ne vjerujem da ?e se Man. United odre?i takvog igra?a. Nekad u ovakvim slu?ajevima stvar novca može biti odlu?uju?a, i taj transfer bi se mogao realizovati ukoliko Real zadovolji zahtjeve ?elnika Uniteda. Me?utim, najvažnija stvar je šta ?e igra? odlu?iti i sve zavisi od njega.”

“Cristiano Ronaldo je jedan od najboljih igra?a svijeta. Pravi je profesionalac i dobro radi svoj posao.”

“Nisam siguran da li je Real spreman ponovo potrošiti 80 ili 100 miliona za jednog igra?a. Ako da, onda ?e United možda biti primoran prodati Rooneya.”

Cristiano Ronaldo advanced to the joint meringue in minute six, but the men of Pellegrini did not know to extend the advantage in spite of enjoying occasions clarísimas during all the first half. The Lyons was superior in the second part and ended up destroying the white illusions with a goal of Pjanic in the 76 ‘. Sixth consecutive year without arriving at the quarters of end.

We already warned it in the previous days. A worrisome euphoria in the madridismo had untied after overcoming a 0-2 to Seville. Tuna was something very and that helped to raise the moral, but nothing else. Nothing had been obtained. We arrived too much grown at the encounter of Champions thinking that we are the best ones, when the most recent history says right the opposite to us.

To say that it was seen come would be of ventajistas, but I can assure to you that I did not like the euphoric atmosphere that she was lived in the White House. Nobody has been able to restrain the excessive optimism that existed in Real Madrid. The unique that has put something of sanity has been Squares, while others as Sergio Branches or Ronaldo Christian gave by closed the eliminatory one before confronting the return match.

Now, and after 250 million Euros and other as much million tears, the moment arrives for reflecting. Salts of the Glass with shameful a 4-0 and eliminate the Lyons to you of the Champions, a rival that, no matter how much they want to sell now, is normalito. You can fall before a Manchester United or a Chelsea, but not to surpass to the French equipment supposes a failure of incalculable proportions.

We are not going to say that all go away, but know that many are going to be indicated after the 1-1 of tonight. Pellegrini will be first. It has returned to roll it in one night great. The alignment was well. The best ones played and some ace in the sleeve for second half was reserved. The bad thing is that it has not known to react from the band. It put to Van der Vaart and Raul, situation that was within the script, but cleared Granero and Kaká. Especially indignante it was the march of the Brazilian. How you can command to him to the bench with 1-1 in the marker? Why nonexempt to a power station? There is no answer. It is of crazy people.

Whatsoever, the worse substitution did not arrive until the 84 ‘. And it is that, to the Chilean technician the idea was happened to him to clear to Arbeloa to put to Diarrá. You remain without a lateral one that raised by band of constant way, to give entrance to another midfield player, when what demanded the encounter was amplitude.

Another one of which one will take woods by all the sides will be Higuaín. It has failed the day that did not have to do it. Here we have defended to him always, but the one of today does not have defense. It is what there is. Clarísimas had two occasions that were lost between the desperation of the public. Especially painful she was the one that it had in minute 25. The Pipita goes away of Lloris and sends its closing to the wood with portería empty. You cannot fail that when your equipment dominates, gains 1-0 and you have the given rival. The unique thing that you obtain is to give life on the contrary.

Next to Higuaín and Pellegrini, we will see Kaká. The Brazilian will be the third party in the eye of the hurricane. She did not appear more awaited at night. He returned to disappoint. Those that we defend to him we were over the years without arguments. In the other side of the balance they are Christian Ronaldo and Guti. First it was at a great level, although in second half something more intermittent noticed to him. The Fourteen, on the other hand, gave everything it and ran like never in search of the ball. One was given to him and fitted, but it could not be.

Leaving to a side the individual aspect and centering us in the happened thing during the ninety minutes, we must be right and to say that first half an hour of Real Madrid it has been very good. They had occasions, possession, speed and mobility. Christian abrió the marker in minute six and the equipment felt like superior. The worse thing is than they began to fail opportunities. The 2-0 seemed near, but it finished being a mirage.

All good that it offered the white equipment finished in the renewal. We do not know why. We do not know if Pellegrini asked to delay the lines to them, or if they accused the physical effort. We do not know it. The certain thing is that Puel put two changes that worked to him to the Lyons, that was very superior during all the second half. Madrid sank and the outcome was seen come. Everything ended the goal of Pjanic. He was depressing. To swim to die in the border. To spend for irte to house like a small equipment.

Ivar Matusevich said, in one of its columns, that appeared the first symptoms of the abyss in Real Madrid. After the 1-0 it was fitted in Lyons. They criticized many it, but in its words the reason of the person hid who is impartial, that does not move by interests, that says what thinks. Now I understand that one phrase. There was fear. Superiors were not the Lyons and the panic arrived. Many feared that, 250 million Euros later, the nightmare was going to follow its course. Three weeks later, the nightmare becomes in interminable.

Real Madrid reaches the climax in one night unforgettable (3-2).

The joint meringue gave a bath him to a Seville that was with a 0-2 thanks to two errors of Xabi Alonso. In second half, Pellegrini put to Guti and Van der Vaart, that made of their equipment an authentic cyclone. Christian Ronaldo, Segrio Branches and Van der Vaart wrote down the goals of the overcome one. LEADERS!

Seville left dominating before a Madrid that did not feel comfortable with the ball in its power. In addition, Xabi Alonso collaborated with the set Andalusian writing down a goal in own door when trying to avoid a closing of Negredo. The shock complicaba from the beginning, but was there when the white equipment began to react.

It did and it as we saw in Liga de Capello, but with one it differentiates. Tonight it bet by the good soccer. It played fast, intense and electrical. It entered much by left, but it knew to surprise by right. The occasions began to fall one behind another one. The unique thing that saved to Seville was San Palop, who was at a great level in spite of the three goals that fitted.

The Bernabéu pushed and the equipment of Jiménez was locked in back. The 1-1 was when falling, but it did not arrive. With a rain of soccer and opportunities on the part of Madrid it was arrived at the rest.

In the renewal, Pellegrini commanded to warm up to Guti, Barn, Van der Vaart and Raul. It needed to revolutionize to an equipment was doing that it well, but that, nevertheless, did not find the way of the goal. With the overturned white set, Dragutinovic wrote down 0-2. The Serb hung the ball from far, Xabi let it to Alonso pass and the ball ended up kissing the network. New error of the Spanish… and new midfield player as much of the equipment visitor. It seemed closed everything, but it was not thus.

Van der Vaart and Guti replaced Lass and Arbeloa for want of 35 minutes for the end. As always, one resorted to the magic of the Fourteen to look for the rempntada one. And, like almost always, the canterano meringue responded with a skillful class of soccer and you happen impossible.

Madrid continued coiling, although it needed luck. Whatsoever, justice arrived in the form of goals, those that obtained Christian Ronaldo (in the 60 ‘) and Sergio Branches (in the 64 ‘). Party tied in less than five minutes. Ecstasy in the Bernabéu and a hurricane in the field. And it is that, the men of Pellegrini had obtained most difficult, but they decided to go to by more. There it was where it appeared the immense figure of Palop, that saved time and time again to Seville.

Guti astonished at you pass between lines and spectacular plays. Between averages, closings to woods on the part of Higuaín, CR9 and the same Fourteen. Madrid was imposing before a rival who said to hold the tie. Pellegrini exhausted the changes giving entered Raul instead of an unfortunate Kaká. The captain was at a great level. It created danger and it knew to be associated with his companions.

In the end, and when it seemed that the 2-2 would be definitive, Van der Vaart took madness to Santiago Bernabéu being useful rejects of Palop. The Dutch took off the t-shirt he celebrated and it with rage next to its companions. A party and a championship had overcome. They gave them by deads, but they have revived and they follow there. They have given puñetazo in the table and follow intratables. He will be equal in Champions? We hope yes that.

The best thing: Partidazo of Real Madrid. Badly in the first fifteen minutes, sweeping in the rest of the encounter. It happened over its rival and it demonstrated to be at a spectacular level.

The worse thing: Seville. It was put ahead and it was scared. It did not know to win. It finished locked up and requesting the hour when we did not have been nor fifteen minutes. They danced and must thank to him for 3-2.

The end of Seville is happy to be in the agenda of the white club. Whatsoever, it wants to concentrate in his present equipment and not to think about the future.

Jesus Navas is one of the persecuted players more during the last weeks. Real Madrid has been interested in him and the mass media look for the most explosive declarations of the player.

Wednesday, and after winning in France, the end of Seville spoke on its situation and recognized that he is “illusory” to be in the agenda of the white club. “That means that I am making the things good”, it added.

Whatsoever, it made clear that he is very happy in Sanchez Pizjuán, reason why now only thinks about “being trim” with his present equipment.

The former material coach Bernd left and explained no good hair at the royal ones that it is only worth itself to look plays from Real Madrid to if Cristiano Ronaldo is thereby.

Rumms! Bernd provided in Spain with his expressions for each quantity of excitement. The earlier German world soccer player, who both quoted for Real Madrid, whom FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played, in the Marca: „Early one was it in such a way, there I plays of material only because of Zinedine Zidane looked at itself. Now I look only because of Cristiano the Ronaldo on without him am material like a sleeping pill. “

Boring material without CR9

Further: „If Cristinao Ronaldo plays, does not create it other players not to constitute the difference in a match. “Nevertheless with it not enough. Shoemaker continued to explain that he stood directly during his term of office (summers 2007 until December 2008) before an obligation of Top Stürmer David mansion, but some people in the association against it would have gesträubt themselves.

To the question, whether that had been for his part Reals captain Raúl, it answered with an ironical cough accumulation.

Tenerife was synonymous of tragedy for Real Madrid. They have spent many years from those fiascos of principles of the ninety, but he was inevitable that appeared the past ghost of Ligas duranta the previous one of the encounter. Nevertheless, as soon as the ball threw to roll Gonzalo Higuaín was in charge to frighten any fear and to assure the three points to raise itself with the leadership of provisional way. Initially Young, Alfaro and company made think that they could emulate the feats of Pier Luigi Querubino and Quique Estebaranz thanks to an intense pressure got with it to drown the visitors. Real Madrid was surprised by brave inicho of the chicharreros, that defended with much seriousness and they did not leave hollows. The encounter painted complicated for those of Pellegrini. Little by little they were entering heat, but the goal did not arrive until Marcelo invented a genius inspired by Zidane and after drawing one roulette injected passes vertical between the power stations so that Higuaín did what better it knows to do: to mark goals. The Argentinean defined with sutilidad and to the first touch with zurdazo cruzado. The Tenerife did not stagger after the first blow. Its good work had not had prize, but the things would get worse before the rest. To the 41 minutes, Garay gathered a ball in the right flank of the area after remaining hung of a corner serve, and touched to the frontal, where it appeared Higuaín to mark the first touch again. The party followed the habitual script of the encounter of the Tenerife against the great ones. It made the duties well, but even so it received an excessive punishment and it finished being made goals. Nothing else to begin second half, Ayoze trimmed distances in an controversial play that throws firewood to the fire of the Villarato, but did not have importance because immediately later Kaká gave back both advantage goals to the targets. Far from to both tranquilize the party with goals in the first minutes of the renewal, the encounter became a taking and Dacca at speed of vertigo. The occasions followed one another in both areas, which allowed Squares to make up for of the fitted goal and to shine its reflections, which in addition showed the deficiencies expensive goal of the premises. With the Tenerife blinded by his offensive soccer, it began to leave hollows to the backs of the power stations that Christian Ronaldo and Kaká were useful to like themselves and to offer spectacle. The targets operated the spaces to leave to the con in speed and made goal occasions to clear the made goals one, but as much it arrived from the eleven meters, with a maximum pain transformed by Ronaldo Christian. And in the discount until Raul it was added to the celebration and it added the fifth a happens of Van der Vaart. In the end, victory of a Real Madrid that was very serious in Tenerife and ahead removed with comfort a party more complicated than seemed. The targets left to clothes like provisional leaders, in the hope of which Barcelona did.
