Winning without brain test for Real Madrid in Gijón

Real Madrid want to show in Gijon he can win without a brain or, which is, you can win without Xabi Alonso. With its huge potential, it seems simple, but statistics show that it is not, and Jose Mourinho is so aware of what is essential to the midfielder who has been given the title in the 13 league games this season. With 1,200 minutes played, only exceeded one of his companions, goalkeeper Iker Casillas . In the peak season and leads the Portuguese coach on the bench for Real Madrid, the team will have played seven matches in all competitions without Xabi Alonso , a disturbing balance of three wins, one draw and three defeats .

One of those setbacks came at the Bernabeu last League against Sporting, a rival that will have the opportunity to play twice against Real Madrid without Xabi Alonso. The statistical comparison with Xabi Alonso in the field is overwhelming . In 69 games with Mourinho era midfielder, Real Madrid emerged victorious in 54 games, gave up three draws and five defeats suffered only three of them against Barcelona Pep Guardiola (League, Champions League and Super Cup in Spain). All rival coaches are aware of the importance of Tolosa for the football team's target is fluid , and is therefore common to see players in charge of press at all times to Xabi Alonso.

Without him on the field, Real Madrid gets stuck. I went with Manuel Pellegrini (missing in the second leg of the Champions League against Lyon and the team was eliminated) and happened to Mourinho. Changing brain Sahin This season, however, in the hope that Real Madrid is not so. Before the play Sporting Nuri Sahin , signed for situations like this. Touch is a midfielder not without struggle can throw back the team as demonstrated in the German Bundesliga, where he was voted best player by his peers. The Turkish midfielder is still not 100% because they lost preseason and the first two months of competition for several consecutive injuries. However, it seems the most viable option to give a criterion to the game of Real Madrid. The other would be Esteban Granero , that this campaign is just counting 'Mou'. Are two options for providing gray matter to a Real Madrid 'brainless' without Xabi Alonso .

Ferrer jumped the track with the confidence that gives her partner successfully opened the tie. Del Potro, by contrast, with the pressure of knowing possession of the illusions of a country eager to secure their first 'punch' of silver. This justifies the brilliant start of Alicante, which exhibited a great set of legs and did much damage to the opponent with a right hand drilled track tucked into the aspirations of a broken Del Potro in the fourth game. Ferrer was able to correctly find the weak points of albiceleste: insist backwards and force him to kiss the clay left him completely broke. With a new break, signed blank, the Spanish sent the first set of his locker.

Del Potro threw in the towel and raised the level of tennis. The machinery tandilense hit the ball so hard that some commentators in the stands will not be surprised if some burst. He always looked for loopholes in Ferrer fireproof wall, more and more solid in front of him, but ended up deflating in the tie-break. It was the beginning of the resurgence of Argentina, which at times reminded his best version. Supported by the serve when the situation deserved, hitting the right sartenazos deployed within one meter of body and adjusting each ball millimeter lines. It was he who risked, and closed hit every point. More roster of winners of unforced errors. Despite giving their service in the opening game, the pupil of Franco Davin had a chance to break in every service of his rival, but it was a most cruel manner, relying on the random tape, when he managed to recover the liability. He kept hitting got on track, aligned with the stars and signed five straight games to bring more to his September 1 paycheck.

The Celtics deny their interest in transferring to Rondo

Just learned that the 'lockout' was completed and began the era of the NBA rumor mill. High, low, exchanges ... Everyone is capable of seeing your name on any rumors or transfer.

One of the more impact it has had is that Rajon Rondo puts New Orleans in exchange for one of the stars of the market, Chris Paul. The basis of the Hornets will become a free agent next summer and there are many teams that have knocked on his door to take over their services. And although he has said that if he leaves the Knicks will (along with Stoudemire and Carmelo), the fact is that the board of the Louisiana franchise would not transfer to a dim star to change its base 'All-Star' of the Celtics.

Who also wanted to give his opinion on the future of his former teammate Shaquille O'Neal has been. The former power forward for the Celtics have had their say in a radio interview. "If I were general manager Rajon Rondo will not change for Paul. Not a good idea," said Shaq. "Rondo is the best definition of base out there.

Kaka again the call to be measured at Sporting

The return of Kaka, and advance by Jose Mourinho, is the main novelty in the invitation to Real Madrid for the match on Saturday in El Molinon against Sporting de Gijón (18.00 hours).

The Brazilian has fully recovered from the concussion in the soleus of the right leg that has prevented him playing since last October 29 at the Royal Society and on Saturday will be on the bench, as confirmed by the Luso coach.

It has also overcome their discomfort in the ankle Cristiano Ronaldo, after missing several workouts earlier this week by the blow he received in the derby against Atletico Madrid.

In the medical report contained only Alvaro Arbeloa, who last his return after suffering a hamstring muscle contracture of the left leg and Portugal's Ricardo Carvalho, who was about to return after recovering from back pain, but you have to be back away from the pitch due to a sprained right knee medial collateral ligament.

The Luso center played his last meeting on Sept. 27 against Ajax and 1 October and did not come into the squad for the match against Espanyol due to back pain, but this week he was injured in a random action with Jose Callejon. Xabi Alonso also can not play, sanctioned by the accumulation of cautions.

Mou "It is always best to go ahead"

Jose Mourinho appeared at a news conference before training Valdebebas Real Madrid. The coach ruled out Arbeloa to Gijón, announced that Kaka will be on the bench and suggested the holding of Nuri Sahin down to cover the penalty from Xabi Alonso. And said "it is better to go ahead in the table, gives you a small margin of error and reduces the pressure."

"But at the same time, he added, lag behind is also a motivating challenge. Both are interesting situations, and difficult. What worries me is not the mentality of the costume. People know that we have not gotten anywhere, but also they are playing well, with confidence. I do not see much difference with the times we were behind. The team is showing maturity, balance, peace of mind. No matter what happens against Sporting, will quietly walk along our way. "

Mourinho overlooked the controversy over the penalty Pique - "my opinion is not important, what is the opinion of jurists, authoritative voices in the world of sports, Platini, Blatter, Collina, the press ..."- and tried to make clear that the classic 10-D is, for now, parked. "We have three points more than the second, not six. What motivates us is the party of tomorrow, try to win. We know what it's leagues, and it is normal for a team that is winning a lot, can defeat or a draw . When they arrive, we will not make a drama of it. We must try to get the classic win three more points. "

"We have worked well during the week, a week atypical because it is not normal to have so much time to work. What we all know is that Xabi is a very important player on the team, but is not, and will have to play another, and that it will do for him is also good, because we only have the players like Real Madrid. Yes, during the week we looked for ways to play without a player who is very important. But I will not make a drama of his absence or use morning after the game. "

Thus, Mou ruled that the match against Sporting is a test to prepare for the match against Guardiola. "I'm not in that game. I think in Gijón and in the Ajax, because I want to give the team fresh air, give minute people who are not playing much. This week we have prepared the Sporting match, not the Barca game."

The Setubal said not to expect too much aggression by the Sporting. "Against Atletico there was no aggression, aggression is something else I like. We know what we can expect a very tough match. Last year was very difficult, as many times in the past. I know, but nothing more. " On Damian's words, added: "If a defense has to make mistakes to stop a striker seems normal. It is very difficult for a defender made 90 minutes without faults, 100% clean. But there are faults and failures, no accumulation of faults. There are yellow, red and there are no referees. It is a topic that does not bother me, I say. I am concerned that is a tough game, we'll have to stop playing. "

There was also room for more names. As Nuri Sahin: "It's in preseason, but in the finals. And at that stage you can play for 90 minutes. He and the impact against Dynamo. You ready to play."

On the injured Kaka and Carvalho: "Kaka is on the bench. He had a week clean, very well trained. My intention is to play, because I think we're going to need. And against Ajax, which holds the maximum possible time, preferably 90 minutes. We want to again become important, as it was still before the injury. " "Carvalho was finally normal training and coaching. I was in the same process of Kaka, to be tomorrow on the bench and hold against Ajax. In a normal action Alley has been injured for a couple of weeks or more, this once in the knee. Bad luck. "

Finally, mention Arbeloa to re-emphasize that, for now, do not think the club: "It focuses on the game against Ajax, not in the Barceloa. For tomorrow, has not trained with the group. We on Sunday to start training with the group to play on Wednesday. "

They start rumors and controversial "movements" in the NBA

Although officially until next December 9 will not be signing any contract , the league has already authorized for free agents and teams could contact and desires that are present both sides.

Point guard Chris Paul , the Hornets in New Orleans , through his agent confirmed all the rumors that his next destination will be the New York Knicks after he has told his current team thinks not sign an extension or renewal of expiring contract next season.

Paul is a great friend of forward Carmelo Anthony and although he has denied that it influenced the decision of the Starbase, the reality is that his days in New Orleans have them counted.

The team wants to hear from Paul himself, but the Hornets general manager, Dell Demps, you know that the future of the franchise base will not be linked to New Orleans , which is currently under control of the NBA .

The Hornets do not want to suffer the same ordeal Paul touched them move to the Denver Nuggets when Anthony decided he himself would not renew the contract and wanted to go to the Knicks, the same team that will surely come the star base New Orleans team.

Paul's desire to be part of the Knicks have cut all the strategy that had mounted the Boston Celtics to get their services in exchange for the transfer of base Rajon Rondo.

The Celtics GM, Danny Ainge said he did not know where the rumors had arisen about the possible transfer of the Hornets Rondo for Paul, because the team was "happy" with its integration baseman and he had with the rest of the team's stars as Paul Pierce , Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett .

The same applies to the pivot Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, who still has a year contract and then be a free agent and all the rumors are that your next destination will be the Lakers or Nets New Jersey.

Howard is aware that while the Magic keep their options to get a league title are slim because around is not enough help to do so.

Meanwhile, the Lakers, the team with the most economic potential of the league, and have not only but also the millions of players that can offer in exchange for Howard's arrival such as the pivot Andrew Bynum and even the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol , depending on the preferences that may have the Magic.

The Nets, who already know the starbase Deron Williams will not renew the contract for this season to expect to be free and win the next 30 million more, they want to form a team of stars and that seek the services of players like Howard, Nene and veteran Tyson Chandler .

The new owner Russian billionaire Mikhail Nets D. Prokhorov wants to not only maintain but also to accompany Williams to other stars of the NBA when the team opens its new field of Barclays Center in Broooklyn, which has cost 1,000 million dollars, and will be ready for the season 2012-13.

The output of both players from their current teams would confirm that the new collective agreement is worthless in terms of sports inequality still exist in the NBA and all they have achieved has been the players take more than money had given the previous one.

This way they can balance the economic section to 22 teams continue to have lost millions not receiving now 50 percent of revenue basketball compared to 43 of the previous agreement.

But the sports section still dominated by the most powerful teams like the Lakers , Celtics , Heat , Knicks , Bulls and champions league, the Mavericks in Dallas, according to Chandler do not intend to renew his contract to continue with them when they start training camp.

Chandler's statement was the most remarkable and surprising of the first official day on which NBA teams and free agents could start talking about new contracts.

Along with Chandler returns the first day of activity in the free agent market was in full confusion because they are all rumors and most of all teams that have clear is that they work against the clock and knowing that staff will reduced to account for the 2011-12 season, which starts on Christmas Day.

Williams confirms Maldonado as a driver for 2012

The Williams team confirmed as pilot Pastor Maldonado for the World Formula 1 2012. The British team was one of the four that did not make public the names of their drivers for next season in a list announced by the FIA .

"Pastor has shown this season that is not only a fast driver, but is also able to maintain a consistent pace and strong," said Frank Williams, team founder, said in a statement sent by the pilot group's press . "His career in Monaco was great," he said.

Maldonado, whose main sponsor is Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in 2012 and will start his second season in charge of a Williams car, brings a wealth of equipment financing.

However, the Venezuelan opposition has tried to block sponsored by PDVSA, which was not approved by the National Assembly and is seen as too expensive, considering the poor results was the team that ended the season.

Vettel has numbers of legend

The 2011 season is over. The year that was predicted before the start most spectacular World Cup, not in vain, for the first time have agreed five world champions in the asphalt, resulted in the military walk Sebastian Vettel, who won the title with four runs to completion.

The tyranny of Red Bull and Vettel in particular, however, have not taken brilliance to an issue where the duels, often fiery, five world champions have led to moments of maximum tension and spectacle, although often only for a podium and not for victory in a Grand Prix and World least sentenced soon.

Either way it is time to balance sheet and comparative statistics between these five giants (Schumacher, Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton and Button) to ask: Who is best? Always from the cold of the numbers and percentage statistics.

And considering this it follows that Schumacher is still the Kaiser. The German head of almost all historical statistics percentage. Although since his return to competition has not achieved any success and only once got to the podium, has the best winning percentage for prizes appearances: 25.92% 31.72% by Vettel, already a second. Also, the races run of podium finishes by 53.63% from 45.9% of Hamilton. It would even be the leader in this hypothetical competition laps: 26.57% to 11.11% of his compatriot.

The only statistic in which Michael is overcome by a champion he is contemporary with that of the poles. Seven-times only achieved in 23.77% of the qualifications held, while the young Sebastian Vettel has a prodigious statistics in this facet, a 38.27% of top positions in the grid, putting him at front of the ranking.

The success rates attest to the hegemony of the German pilots. Schumacher had a decade of tyranny and Vettel now has two straight titles with a record of race wins and pole positions overwhelmingly favorable over Alonso, Hamilton or Button.

"

Red Bull boss Christian Horner said the FOTA must rethink its future: "FOTA has reached a crossroads where it needs to deal with some of the key issues to move forward or stop. It's as simple as that. Obviously The main issues are the Concorde Agreement, the direction it will take, and basically the Resource Restriction Agreement.

In recent days had discussed the possibility that central was suspended for two games have forced the warning wasting time, but the Committee has not seen thus considered at its meeting on Friday to address the issues of the meeting corresponding to the day ahead by 17 and FC Barcelona's participation in the World Cup.

On the meeting, confirmed the warnings for dangerous play for players of Lightning Lass Vallecano, Jordi and Víctor Valdés Arribas and loss of time.

Guardiola: "If Piqué not know the rule, now you know"

Pep Guardiola news conference went through and analyzed all the news from Barcelona before the match this Saturday against Levante, the last before the Classic League, will be measured between BATE in the Champions League. "Every three days we party, I can not think in the Ray or BATE while in Madrid ... I have not thought about who will play at the Bernabeu, I do not give more," he said.

Barca coach stressed that "if Real Madrid has the advantage over Barcelona is on merit," but added that "the next game is the most important": "Then we'll think before Madrid."

"You can not always go first all season. When you're up you have to be with the necessary tension when you're below you must have the necessary ambition. You have to take it normally," said Pep on the situation of Barca in the classification.

"We do not believe in the unlikely event that the League remains sentenced at the Bernabeu. My experience as a player says that nothing is decided until the end. If you feel that is insurmountable, I would say, but sorry," he added.

Discomfort with Piqué
When asked about the controversy that saw Piqué yellow card to the Lightning, between lines Guardiola showed his displeasure with the way Barca forced the central cardboard.

"I have not been aware of any campaign. The committees act in what they believe. I have not read the statement. Every year we eject players and we never complained. We abide by what the Committee decides and if we believe it is very unfair to the services legal recourse, "said Pep.

Puyol and the Camp Nou, 'the rescue' of Barcelona against the Lightning

Neither Lionel Messi or Xavi or Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas . The real charm of Barcelona this season in La Liga is the great captain, Carles Puyol . With central by the hair on the field, Barca team has won 80% of their games , without it , the percentage is reduced to a modest 50% . Before the Rayo Vallecano could return to the field, and no doubt Pep Guardiola breathe easier. The budget and potential difference between the two teams is enormous, but so was with Getafe . Do not rely because of Jose Ramon Sandoval have made ​​the same points at home than his rival on Tuesday: nine. In 13 league matches, the Catalans have been victorious in eight. Puyol was in four games while the other four the captain put on his boots or dressed up short. More devastating is another fact: of the five games in which Barcelona did not add the three points, 'Jaws' was not in four.

He did not act against Real Sociedad in Anoeta (2-2), Sevilla at Camp Nou (0-0), Athletic in San Mamés (2-2) and Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez (1-0). Indeed, in Valencia , where he did play and drew Guardiola's team to two, did not play the whole game and was replaced in the 17th minute of the second half. It was the charm and Barcelona left back to the middle. The central presence is vital for the intensity you put into the field, placing (the veteran is a degree), for its quality to stop any opponent and make better behind his fellow.

 It is the soul of the defensive line. Its importance comes from afar because of the nine defeats in the league accumulating since trains Guardiola Barcelona, ​​Puyol was not six. Another Barcelona in the Nou Camp Reigning suffering at home, but instead is a cyclone in their field . In the Nou Camp has 6 wins and a draw, with 30 goals scored (an average of 4.28 per game! ) and none against. Osasuna took eight goals, Villarreal, Mallorca and Atletico five, Zaragoza, Racing four and three. Sevilla endured only a goalless draw.

In a lawn as long as the feud Barca, equipment costs more to shut them and stop their rivals, especially Messi , who has scored in stage 14 of the 15 goals that leads in the league. For Ray, Nou Camp is not a field that has fond memories. Of 12 hits, nine home win ended, two with a tie and a visitor to win . Rayista coach has said that come to Barcelona with the intention of scoring, a company very difficult especially if the opponent is able to count on his two wildcards, Puyol and the Camp Nou, for if it had little advantage in having in its ranks Messi, Cesc, Xavi, Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Victor Valdes, Dani Alves ...

The sprinter, who in 2004 spent two years suspended for doping (testosterone), was removed last August, the Jamaican team that participated, a month later, at the World Daegu (South Korea).

"This is a clear message to everyone. Prohibited substances should not be used," he said Lennox Gayle.

Mullings did not attend the hearing of the case or present witnesses to prove his innocence. His lawyer, Alando Terrelonge, said his client should benefit of the doubt about whether they had deliberately tried to improve performance and described him as "an athletic talent" that is applied to "a draconian punishment."

Terrelonge considers that a penalty of between four and six, or six to eight, according to the regulations, it would be fairer.

Kenya to pucelana

Iten is to athletics what Africa to the world: his heart. At the Kenyan highlands, many European cross-country skiers flock to spot check the recipe for success in a sport where suffering is proportional to success. Far from sophisticated methods and large media and consumerism apart from suicidal temptations, lies a race whose supremacy is based on the exaltation of the simple. The echo of their own feelings as a way out of poverty that traps them. No apologies, tears and capricious complaints, just no work. The survival of their families is at stake.

"The experience was a blast," said Alvaro Rodriguez ( Valladolid, 1987 ), the last Spanish elite middle-distance runner in visiting the home of athletics, still amazed by the quantity and quality of anonymous people Fajana athletes in the Valley Rift. "In Iten 300 uncles gathered on the slopes. Many are desperate, baseless."

"They get up at six in the morning, running on an empty stomach and take a nap, come back to train, eat and take another nap." Sleep, eat and run, the trilogy of daily cyclical in Kenya: some athletes "do not understand peak form" and who exercise more than 2,000 meters high.

A tango London '2012

Sometimes I need to get away from the more technical part of the sport. Focusing too much on tactics, strategy, often forces me to leave the passion aside, coolly assessing the performance of a cyclist or a rugby team. At those times I realize I need a break, a change. And that's when synchronized swimming rescues that passion, I am no expert in the technical intricacies of the sport, and I can limit myself to enjoy. Just sit in front of the TV and enjoy the emotions that I try to convey swimmers.

That's exactly what I did in the last World Shanghai in July , sit and enjoy all the programs. Some already knew of Sheffield, but here the stakes were higher, much more was at stake. In Shanghai, it was played with the cards face up.

Passion suburb
duo's final book was the perfect example of synchronized swimming, well executed, can lead to another stage, another place. You just have to let go. And the hand of Ona Carbonell tango and Andrea Fuentes we played, that trip was real, very real. When the music started, and the Spanish couple jumped into the water, I was no longer either in Shanghai or in 2011, was far, far away.



On the way to London
and arrive next year London'2012 Games, and I I have decided I am going to do. As spectators gathered on the steps of a pool, I will find a separate room, lost in the streets of London. A nightclub where at night depart chairs and tables, where between black and white draw two figures, the Ona and Andrea, to give vent to the passion of Argentina with Spanish blood. And is that going to London for gold, to the rhythm of breath. So dance the Tango.
