The indomitable spirit of Christian, his genetic inability to surrender and give up led Real Madrid to an agonizing victory, achieved after a new comeback and thanks to the errors in the definition of Osasuna, who forgave too much and squandered a chance unbeatable for the win in the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid has been proposed to reach the league title in the most intricate possible with comebacks, suffering, emotion, work and also moments of good football, that was all in victory against Osasuna. A victory that allows Madrid to continue the struggle, but with more doubts about its reliability. In these duels of gunmen in making their games on Madrid, did not always come out alive and free of scratches. It is likely to get into the three remaining days, but may not happen. And now, any neglect, any trip is paid for failure. But these meetings out of control, return, where others only see the abyss, the abyss, the Madrid what you see is the best path to success. Helped him on this occasion that Osasuna will raise a duel of ideas and little muscle, contrary to expectations. She was Camacho's team played all or nothing, to win on offense and not from the defense. He was unsuccessful and most of the blame as well for Osasuna's mistakes in the definition, had Cristiano Ronaldo, a player ambition excessive, but sometimes that leads to an excess of individualism, others, like this time, prevent your computer and forces him to give up going for the win until the end. His goal when the game was dying perhaps not enough to win the league, but it feeds the illusion.
And that Manuel Pellegrini's team sends mixed messages. If one looks at how struck against Osasuna see a set of enormous potential, which ended almost all offensive actions able to attack up to five players, to move the ball quickly and approach, looking for spaces, a machine to create chances, but with less aim than usual and too much anxiety. Osasuna could be contained as the talons of Madrid, which was a squall in attack but made too many concessions on defense.
For another thing was when Madrid had to look back and used to stop attacks by Osasuna, who hardly needed anything to make damage Madrid was a disaster on defense. This time he failed to Albiol, more reliable defender of the course. Madrid granted the countless opportunities and just the awkwardness of Osasuna on the ridge prevented the win in the Bernabeu. In games like this, Madrid is a formidable team on offense and defense scary.
Real went heavily into the game, with tension and Christian soon to test the reliability of Ricardo gloves. But the shock only followed the script laid down for seven minutes, until Albiol made a huge failure when trying to transfer to Casillas and left the ball at the feet of Aranda, who easily evaded the keeper and held the first goal of the afternoon.
Despite the coup, Madrid did not change his speech, continued to play, looking for spaces and Ricardo's goal, but sometimes the wrong way, like the excessive individualism of Christian, who is often forgotten that not only plays and that those who dress like him are his companions. That sin we mentioned earlier. Osasuna could be contained as the Madrid attacks and went on the counterattack with speed to strike the final blow. But what I found was signed by Cristiano tie after a single maneuver, of course. And if it came before the Madrid goal was for the skill of Ricardo, who made a stop in the evening to a header from Kaka after a beautiful combination of Christian and Barn, more toned than usual.
In this coming and going that was the meeting, the currency fell back side Osasuna three minutes before halftime. A volley goal by a pass from Aranda Vadocz after the two combine seamlessly into the area, with the complicity of the defenders of Madrid. The response of Madrid took just two minutes to arrive when anticipated Marcelo Rovérsio Azpilicueta and head to score pass Barn.
The Madrid left the locker room with the sole objective goal. He searched in various ways, from different positions and all possible players. He searched for Christian, alone and in company of others with his constant Marcelo interned by the left, Kaká until it was replaced by Benzema, Guti, Gago substitute, with his passing impossible, to Pellegrini appealed to the youth squad in a desperate attempt Juanfran not to lose the league. Nothing was working until the Total harassment Madrid finally break down the resistance of Osasuna. It was just two minutes to closing, when the late Higuain came on the left wing to make up a center with his left foot that Cristiano header at goal. The goal of the excitement and relief.
Because there until the Madrid suffered as a few times and miraculously unscathed. For Osasuna miracle was that no mark, first at an auction that cleared Aranda Casillas with his fists and then with Vadocz a backlash and Masoud, who stood up to Iker and the bad pass of the first was finished even worse by the second. Food for the desperation of Osasuna and the illusion of Madrid, a group that never gives up.
