Cristiano plays it a potato

Real Madrid must cross your fingers and not to separate until the end of tomorrow's match Portugal in Bosnia. And Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Coentrao play not only qualifying for the Euro, but also their physical integrity.

The stadium will host the first stake of the tie, the same Bilino Polje, where he played and thrashed Spain just over a year, is a real potato patch. The field conditions have been set off alarm bells for fear of injury.

On Tuesday, a delegation of the Portuguese Federation (FPF) as advance party moved to Bosnia and witnessed firsthand the poor condition of the pitch, hit by rain and bad weather of recent days. What they saw was so disturbing that there was no hesitation in calling on UEFA to request an urgent change of venue for the party. The delegation proposed lusa move to Sarajevo, but the governing body rejected the proposal.

"The field is impracticable. You can hardly walk, so imagine what will be playing football. The risk to the players is great, "explained the Portuguese Federation, who complains that Bosnia has not done much to improve the condition of the grass in the last days. In this situation, FPF president Gilberto Madail, has threatened to play the game under protest.

The expedition arrived Lusa late yesterday afternoon to Zenica, where the meeting will be held today and will have the opportunity to see first hand the poor state of the field in training prior to the crash.

Bad news for Portugal and for the Real Madrid, who have three players on his battered Bilino Polje stadium's turf. So, in the white club will be very attentive to the evolution of Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe Coentrao Bosnian land once it is impossible to relocate the party disputes despite the formal complaint.

Raul will not collect the medal of the UEFA

Spanish football live on Thursday a special day at the Sports City of Las Rozas, albeit with a notable absentee. Five major players in our country receive national and international recognition in their careers with the Spanish. Xavi Hernandez will be honored twice. First will be honored by the ETF, have exceeded one hundred caps. It adds 105 games with the team of all.

Iker expects record Andoni match on Saturday against England, or the following Wednesday, to Costa Rica.

However, Raul Gonzalez Blanco will attend the event organized by UEFA as reported by the Spanish Federation. The striker, who now plays for Schalke 04 German, has justified his absence by e-mail as their club has scheduled a training and a friendly match selections due to the international break.

Cristiano Ronaldo hunt

The twelfth triplet Madrid Cristiano hid the other prize. The Luso reaches 104 goals from 106 matches white-on-and even the record scorer in official matches Ronaldo.

In just over two seasons, Cristiano is already among the 13 top scorers in the history of Real Madrid. His next victims will be Pahiño and Juanito, who scored 121 goals. The Portuguese winger, who has scored five goals in the last two games, has now been 17 so far this campaign. Is the reference in the gargantuan attack Madrid, where Higuain and Benzema has 11 goals, nine. A total of 37 goals between the three. One pass.

The Luso start signing their best scorer with 13 goals scored in the first 11 days of the season. Last season he had 11 by now and the year of its debut, five.

The Great Debate

They are the leaders of the two great teams from Spain than in football as in politics, it is also bipartisan. Or rather two-color: white or Barca. No one dares question his absolute power because the clubs as in games, is iron discipline. The two Pepes, Jose Mourinho and Josep Guardiola-star in the national debate, almost perpetually from a year ago, about who is better: Madrid or Barcelona.

According to recent data, it appears that whites have balanced the advantage gained by the Catalans after three years of League rule with an iron fist. Today, the Madrid is three points ahead in a poll as reliable as changing: the league table.

There are other data that decant the debate opinion polls on the side of whites. For example, the goals scored in La Liga, where Real Madrid than Barcelona in five goals: 39-34. Also in the auction, a concept where Barca had been strong in the final stretch of its mandate. Whites have released goalkeeper in the league 205 times-an average of 18.6 per game, compared to 180 of -16.3 per game Barca.

White numbers
shortly Among other things quantifiable statistics, more balanced workforce, hunger and ambition of the team, the bond between the coach and the president, the Madrid Barca also outperforms other concepts such as cross - 222 vs. 158 - turnovers against 708 -758 - -173 fouls against 168 - and even something as philosophically as Barca assists. Real have been 139 (goal 29) and Barcelona has distributed 127 (21 goal).

With the debate reached a climax in temperature and a few supporters and other charges of reasons, some of the heavyweights of both templates have also been campaigning. Without going any further, yesterday the Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez, who wanted to downplay the three points adrift of his team on Madrid. "I do not mind the three points leads Madrid," said Xavi, who qualifies: "Madrid has a very high level, with a very direct football and going very well on the counterattack. Yes, it is a good level."

At Barça seem calm and believe that the debate is not going to influence the elections, whose first round will be held on December 10 Concha Espina, and are confident that the trend has changed. The data is today favored to Real Madrid, but the feelings of these debates as the same may change every ten minutes.

Antonio Lopez, knee surgery, will be for three weeks

The Atletico Madrid captain Antonio Lopez has been involved in the clinic Tuesday Cemtro where it has made clean in his left knee joint.

As reported by the club's website, the intervention was performed by Dr. Pedro Guillén, who was accompanied by Dr Jose Maria Villalon, head of the medical services of Club Atlético de Madrid, and Oscar Pitillas, retriever trainer of the club.

"Mourinho has not contributed anything to football, only the celebrity"

A Jordi Vinyals, coach of L'Hospitalet, not like the Real Madrid football. Next up for Barcelona in the Copa del Rey confessed fan of the current provisions that define the game Barca. Trained at The Farm, says that football is more than what he preaches Jose Mourinho on their computers. "It has not contributed anything to football, just show business," said the Portuguese.

L'Hospitalet is back to trust again for this season the coach who promoted him to Second B yielding only three defeats. Forged in Catalan teams, except for some adventure in Algeciras, Jaén and Castellon-defined follower of a precious style. Real Madrid, in their eyes, there you have it: "I watch their games and not see anything."

Speaking to radio station RAC1, Vinyals responded with irony when asked about the approach will be to stop Barca. "The advantage of artificial turf is that we can not let it grow as some rivals," he said.

Mourinho has never lost a league with three points

A team of Jose Mourinho command are good classification. All professionals agree, of course, that it is far better to be in the lead, although there is often pressure to lose that privileged position. The "mirror" that spoke Casillas is the item that everyone wants to look at their rivals.

If anyone manages to perfection to their groups when they have the responsibility of the head is José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach, who has won six of eight leagues he has played from start to finish, knows how to keep your players motivated and supported by the surplus which is believed to be above their own.

When you are at the top do not look back. Only care about your party and partner in a competition such as the Spanish, any slip can make the insurmountable distance either. Mourinho has always had three or more points ahead of the second, has emerged champion.

In Portugal, in its first full year with Porto, took five days to get a point at Benfica, eight in two to excel in Vitoria de Guimaraes and from there was no brakes to their first championship. In the following year, the 2003/2004, the future European champions took six days to get a party to the amazing Sea. From there, thrown into the domestic double.

In his first season at Stamford Bridge, had a thrilling hand to hand against Wenger's Arsenal through twelfth shock, when he clinched the top spot and got out. The following season, his Chelsea needed much less. In September and was a leader and, after nine-game winning streak chain, put the turbo into its second Premier.

His last full season in London was more bittersweet. It seemed that was aimed towards their third crown in the day when six was ahead by two points to United after winning Fulham field and the Red Devils draw against Reading. The blues had 15 points and Ferguson 13, but they recovered quickly Manchester and ended up being champions.

In Italy, Mourinho soon became the Calcio. After a shaky start, Inter managed to rise to leadership on the eleventh day, ahead of the Naples at one point. From then held the lead until the final day. In his second and final year in the Lombard capital, Roma threatened her championship in two days (33 and 34), but a great final sprint giving the championship ended.

Once in Spain, with Real Madrid, Mourinho lost the second league of his career. Leader came to Camp Nou with a point ahead of Guardiola, but the Catalans tore the white in the Classic and rallied to take the championship. In England there were two points and the last one year, but Mourinho never let out the title when he takes three to the second.

Capello will miss the wedding of his son by the England-Spain

Fate has played a trick on Fabio Capello. Aware of the tight schedule of the England coach his son Pierfilippo set with enormous advance, and after consultation with his father on their wedding date with Tiziana, his girlfriend of a lifetime.

Capello be trusted and qualified for the Euro and not have to play the playoffs and gave the go ahead to Saturday 12 November. If there was a friendly match would be played on Friday and have time to be at six o'clock in the afternoon in Milan attending the expected link.

So far, so good. Preparations continued their usual course, Fabio's wife, Laura, making constant trips to Milan to assist in the logistics. But one day, the English Federation received a call from their Spanish counterparts asking to change the date of the game, scheduled for Friday, to Saturday 12. The reason the RFEF argued, give the Barca players an extra day of rest after the Cup match to be played Wednesday morning, it seemed logical and understandable to British managers.

However, before giving final approval from the British Federation contacted Franco Baldini, one of the assistants to tell Capello change. And this, without consulting his 'boss', authorized the modification date. "It's okay, we play on Saturday with no problem."

When Capello learned was stunned. The party had fixed the same day, same time! the wedding of his son. She could not believe. Logically, it was too late and inappropriate to reverse the process. It would not go to the wedding of Pierfilippo. Occupational hazard.

Overcome the disgust, and to 'participate' in any way in the link, Capello will look Saturday at Wembley a boutonniere to be identical to that at that same time, take Tiziana bridal bouquet. It will be a symbolic way to be at the same time in London and Milan.

Guardiola: "If Madrid are three points ahead is because they are very good"

Pep Guardiola played down the income of three points that have the Madrid over Barcelona but acknowledged that whites are doing better things for the moment. "If Madrid are three points ahead is because they are very good and made ​​things better than us. We'll see if these points are critical," he said.

About the Cup match, Pep Guardiola is confident his players will not sin against overconfidence L'Hospitalet in the first leg of the knockout phase of the Copa del Rey. "Against L'Hospitalet not be overconfident. We proved to Benidorm, Cultural and Ceuta. In addition, the Barca coach downplayed having to play on artificial turf field." The field is in good condition, try make a good game against a team that has its virtues, and this time we have played in all conditions in all we have adapted and will not be an exception now, "he said.

Barca coach reiterated that will win as usual despite the heavy casualties that are due to international games. "Tomorrow will another lesson of what these players.'ll Give another lesson and is very good because they give in the future when others come and make excuses remember that recently there are players who did not. It will take the party in have trained seriously as these two days. Tomorrow will play the club, look for the goal, defended well to the moves of strategy. Will the club, and the Benidorm was the club, the team will decide tomorrow, "he said.

Guardiola said he would prefer that the tie went to a party instead of two. "The competition system makes a match has more surprises. In an away game you have a bad day and you're out. It is true that there would be much wear, but it is a matter that depends on us. Mandan institutions "he said.

On the announcement of selections that deplete the team the next few days, Guardiola was clear: "The slowdown is most difficult for us because we are the first pre-season and seasons are severe, the second game of the season we always points. They have to go selection and that's it. This is Barcelona and most were taken to the selection, there is no choice but to adapt, you're going to take care not regret it or lose half a second on this. What is going to Costa Rica? Well, Costa Rica, "he said.

Moreover, Guardiola would not go to appreciate the criticism of coach Mourinho L'Hospitalet. "No opinion on statements from colleagues, I respect all coaches, from the First to the Third. They will never have a word of disrespect towards anyone. As we all know it curran lot and work hard. I try to learn a lot from all of them work too much respect for all, "he said.

On what do you said was Rosell's request to reduce the Spanish league to 16 teams. "I'm not a leader. Since the days of Johan already said that we are many teams would be nice. There is too much of everything, but I also understand. As the business is not think I would have many weeks off. There are 20 teams in almost all leagues, but not a bad thought you have 16, I think we all would take more win, this is a non-stop, "he said.

Guardiola also praised Raul, who will be honored by the Spanish Football Federation with Zubizarreta, Casillas and Xavi to have reached the figure of 100 caps. "Raul is one of the three best in the history of this country. I have not seen a player as competitive as him, I am sorry that in moments of glory has not been. Fate is unfair sometimes. In Germany every day makes goals. When a player gets 100 caps is because they are very good. congratulate the Federation for this recognition, "he said.

Villa lost weight compared to Cesc

David Villa is experiencing an unprecedented situation in his career. The Spaniard is losing weight on the team in recent games. In contrast, Cesc, now fully recovered from his injury, he is gaining ground and after his good showing in San Mamés, goal included, you can gain even more prominence in the Barca attack at the expense of Villa.

Villa no doubt in the Barcelona. Moreover, whenever the player is Guardiola talks to show their gratitude to him and also convinced that his signing was a success. Barca coach stresses, above all other qualities of Villa, his generosity with the team. Without saying so, that quality which was just missed in the other two companions had Messi since Guardiola took over first team: Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Despite the good words and their perfect adaptation to Barca dressing room, the truth is that Guaje has lost weight within the team this season. The numbers sing. Of the 11 league games carried so far contested, Villa has started only six of them, playing five times in ninety minutes. It has been a substitute against Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Athletic the Granada.

Of the five games he started on the bench, two of them, Granada and Athletic are the last two outputs of the Catalan side. In Champions, against Viktoria Plzen in Prague, Guardiola decided to leave in the stands. The technical explanation was that Villa was over played against Mallorca, but also admitted that in case of need could have played him. That is, he was not injured.

At this same point of the season last year, the picture was quite different for the Spaniard. With 11 championship matches of the season, Villa was started 10 of them and only missed one against Mallorca because he had to enforce a penalty, not a technical decision because it had been expelled the previous day against Athletic Bilbao .

Guardiola is introducing more changes this season that the above is true, but has often been forced by circumstances, as having injured Pique and Puyol. In the case of Villa there is also the case of Alexis Sanchez has been out almost two months through injury and Pedrito fell in Granada. This means that in theory he had a clear field to play.

The term rotations can not be used to explain everything as, for example, Leo Messi has never entered into them this season. He has played everything. Meanwhile, Cesc, with five goals in the league, two more than the Spaniard and shining in his new position in front, it looks like it's going to get harder. Barca wins, has more options in attack, but Villa can suffer.

Airlines CR7

Di Maria Center and headed goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. This produced the first goal for Real Madrid in the game against Osasuna and so managed to win the Copa del Rey Barcelona. It's a play that increasingly operates over Mourinho, an option that is beginning to bear fruit for the perfect understanding between the tip of Argentina and the Portuguese winger.

Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo in soccer practice in basketball what is termed as the alley up. Air Pass a partner, at the height of the basket ring or close to another partner who has a powerful jump, crush rival ring. A play strategy held by the fans for their plasticity. Pure spectacle. For Di Maria, with its precision on the feet, and Christian, with his power in the jump, every time the most successful run.

On Sunday morning, against Osasuna, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has freedom of movement in the field, he decided to step on the penalty spot waiting for that center of Di Maria. He was biding his time. He had said the Argentine. Until they met and produced a fantastic goal.

Ronaldo, who is stands out for its speed and power in the shot, is uncovering a large nod. Since it was in his time at Manchester United, scoring incredible goals above.

Now is a sight to see how it rises, it stays in the air, beating his marker and hit the ball by turning the head. A wonderful performance by placing the ball beyond the reach of goalkeeper.

Know much about this one of the best headers of all time: Carlos Alonso Santillana. So you see: "Cristiano Ronaldo has a very strong jump in static. Besides being a great shot with his foot, so is his head. No need to anticipate your score because it exceeds that leap so powerful that it has. I , which was shorter, they had to find the time in advance to beat my score and get there before the auction. Then, Cristiano Ronaldo keeps very well in the air. It should be noted his ability to suspend and rotate the head in the auction. He is a specialist. "

If I had to find a player who can finish as well as the head in the League could draw Radamel Falcao, the Colombian striker of Atletico Madrid. It has been demonstrated in Porto and in his brief stay in Spain, which has ability to score goals in this way.

There are more players in our league noted for his header as Fernando Llorente, Soldier and Sergio Ramos. On this last day was able to see another great headed goal, that of Cesc in San Mamés.

If we look to Europe would have to talk about Klose, Adebayor, Peter Crouch ... There are many headers, but none so dramatic and effective as Cristiano Ronaldo, who is called to be one of the best ever with other Whites as Hugo Sanchez and Fernando Morientes.

Christian has 10 goals head of the 104 who has scored since he's at Real Madrid. At Manchester scored 19.

Antonio Cassano FULL LETTER

The institutions and persons listed include Real Madrid with Florentino Perez and Jose Mourinho. The white outfit jumped onto the field last Sunday against Osasuna with a shirt that read 'Forza Cassano' ('Force Cassano'), and a message on the scoreboard.

Antonio Cassano FULL LETTER

"Dear friends, I wanted to express my personal gratitude and that of my family for their extraordinary affection shown me these days. Difficulty and sorrow have been mitigated by many demonstrations of closeness arrivals from all over the world.

Now afrontaré a period of rest at home, always next to the television monitor to my Milan, the Italian and unfortunately, the tragic situation of Genoa, a city close to my heart and know that soon overcome the problems of these days . So will I and I promise I will return all the field as soon as possible "

Ibrahimovic: "I greet Guardiola, we will see what he does"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still waiting impatiently for the next match that November 23 will face Milan and Barcelona, ​​his former team. recently revealed some of the confessions made ​​by the Swedish about Guardiola in his biography and not very well let Santpedor standing. Well, now plans to greet his former coach: "I greet you in San Siro, we will see what he does."

Ibrahimovic in the book to be published in the near future, the front Guardiola accused of "shit" with Mourinho and acknowledges that he nearly hit after an encounter at El Madrigal.

The next day 23, at San Siro, Milan and Barcelona play the first place in Group H. The Catalans ahead of the Italians in two points, so that the European champions will tie to pass it as a leader of the picture.

Benzema: "Mourinho wanted him to be a warrior"

Karim Benzema said that Jose Mourinho was asked to change his attitude in the field of play and why has turned his situation this way: "I understood that Mourinho wanted a change in my game. He asked me more angry, which was a warrior. "

Furthermore, told RTL, said Karim Luso technical methods "is always with us, is very close to the players. It transmits all his might. Everyone respects him and do what he says,"

On the other hand, also praised Blanc. "I'm going to kill me for it," said Benzema, the French main weapon for the Euro: "I know he has confidence in me, his staff also have and want to return to the field."

The mother loses her best passer

Di Maria's injury will deprive the Real Madrid contest your best assistant in the league so far. The best in the league, really. The Argentine has given nine assists Messi and Cristiano-follow, five-, the last two on Sunday in just 10 minutes to pave the way for Real Madrid to a new victory, the tenth row.

Christian and Pepe were the recipients of the passes of Noodles. Delnatero Higuain and Portuguese are the main beneficiaries of the vision of the game of '22 ', with which the Real Madrid will be without the visit to Mestalla (November 19), or the Champions League match against Dynamo ( day 22) or in the Madrid derby the following week at the Bernabeu.

Mathematically fulfilled estimated time for an injury of this type, probably not reach the Di Maria's grief Molinón. It is safest not to run any risk with the player, and considering that, a week after the trip to Gijon, with Ajax through, whites received at Barcelona (December 10) in the first classic league of course.

A dilemma for Mou
Di Maria's injury poses a dilemma for Jose Mourinho, as the Argentine, as well as his version of the wizard, was being the most aggressive player in the pressure of Madrid. His replacement would be logical to Fabio Coentrao, playing, and Di Maria, changed leg, although Madrid coach has more options: Alley and even Lass. We will have to wait two weeks until the Mestalla duel to see which solution you choose the Setubal.

THREE'S A CROWD

On the third break, three points clear of Barca. If Del Nido was right, almost definitive advantage. Do not trust. Although, at present, is at least curious to study the 'mirror effect' on the two giants.

Madrid has never been so far (above) of Barca in the 'was Pep'. Three points, a full party of eleven, despite the loss to the Levant and the draw in Santander. An income of which did not enjoy the Bernabeu since 2008 , the year of the last white league. The hall of Barca in Chamartín and 18 points. Of course that was before the invention of football.

True, the club has had a calendar far more complicated than that of Madrid, to be found with the first ramp after the break. Visits to Valencia and Bilbao are the type that can cause choking, even in the nearest memory appear easy wins Real Madrid at the Mestalla and San Mamés the past year. Sure this season they will not be much.

Because there is something subversive, uncomfortable and much of the leadership of Madrid. For three years, the club has imposed his game celestial dictatorship and propaganda around. Madrid is, as the most patriotic and intellectual highbrow outside the sublimation of all evil, and as such will be attacked on all fronts for the rest of the season. Should be prepared and harden the shell. Even more.

It is possible that there will be Mourinho understand the messages in the press. It's about keeping the team, the club and the fans -see at the Bernabeu next two guests, or a loose-with ears pricked. We already know: flattery weak.

Benzema: "Mourinho wanted him to be a warrior"

Karim Benzema said that Jose Mourinho was asked to change his attitude in the field of play and why has turned his situation this way: "I understood that Mourinho wanted a change in my game. He asked me more angry, which was a warrior. "

Furthermore, told RTL, said Karim Luso technical methods "is always with us, is very close to the players. It transmits all his might. Everyone respects him and do what he says,"

On the other hand, also praised Blanc. "I'm going to kill me for it," said Benzema, the French main weapon for the Euro: "I know he has confidence in me, his staff also have and want to return to the field."

Sahin: "I played without fear"

Nuri Sahin was delighted with his debut for Real Madrid and felt no discomfort in the minutes he was on the field: "I felt good, no problems and no hassles."

"I played without fear. I am very pleased and very happy because the important thing was to go back to step on the field," said the player after the game.

In addition, Sahin would not comment anything on the convening of the Turkish last Friday, where he did not appear.

60 million Chinese saw the rout of Real Madrid against Osasuna

Some 60 million Chinese, as calculated by the broadcaster, Beijing TV, followed by the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, played at 12.00 and ended with Madrid winning 7-1. China's football the fans gladly welcomed the fact that Real Madrid-Osasuna will be played in Spain at midday (19.00 hours in China) and open broadcast sports channel of Beijing TV monitor had a high estimate, a figure that supports the objective of the Liga to sell the product in Asian markets.

The 7-1 win for Jose Mourinho against Osasuna was seen in open despite the sports channel on national television (CCTV 5) decided not to broadcast it, which he did the channel of the capital, where premises devoted to sports broadcasts were jammed with local and foreign fans to enjoy the first game this season broadcast schedule. Wangjin Li, amateur 40, was one of those present at an Irish bar in the center of Beijing, where fans with the shirt of Real Madrid were mixed with curious and some English fans, used to watch the matches of the Premier in China through the English championship schedules.

"I'm a fan of Manchester United and Barcelona but I like to see Real Madrid play. It has plenty of power and a direct way to play. I wish to repeat this schedule to see my team (Barcelona) against them," said Li, who also said the Chinese football will reach this level "at 100 or 200 years." Despite the controversy in Spain for Real Madrid to see the morning hours, the truth is that this is the only way that the parties are seen in Asia, where leagues as Italian and English have a great following and where Spanish, despite having a large number of fans, you lose weight by the lack of direct emissions convenient times.

The commitment of the Liga with China has led them to open an office in Beijing to channel development initiatives of the Spanish league but the work, as recognized, "will be a great effort." At the moment, and judging by the figures, only the fact that Real Madrid or Barcelona will play at 12:00 to Chinese broadcasters and fans are more interested in Spanish football and follow him to a greater extent, a circumstance that would open large potential market in a country seeking from institutions of football professionalisation in Europe and has several models.

Di Maria, the hamstrings muscle injury

Angel di Maria was the best of the encounter until minute 48, he had to leave the field with a hamstring injury in the hamstrings, so waiting for tomorrow's medical evidence will not go with Argentina.

The Argentine again to flaunt his vision and participated in three goals of their own distributing three assists. It is the best in the league in that facet.

The first goal of Christian, 'The Noodle' put a measured center to lead the Portuguese, who became the first in the morning. After the shock of a tie, the Argentine end reconnected with the Luso Pepe to do the second.

The recital of passages from Di Maria did not stop and also served the third to Higuain before the break. So far everything was good news for Madrid, who enjoyed a peaceful victory, and everything went smoothly.

However, three minutes into the second act was forced off injured after run for a ball and attempt a heel. Di Maria was lying on the floor with clear gestures of pain and had to leave the pitch on a stretcher.
