Real Madrid can not be a Segunda B

The whole Schuster, with a line plagued by alternates, fell in the field of Real Irun (3-2) in the first leg of the Round of the Copa del Rey.

As in the old days, the Real Madrid Union at the Tute. Since 1933, the Madrid team not playing a match official at the Stadium Gal. It was the first season of the Union after its descent into Second, devoured by the professionalism that a team of people could not sustain. Real Madrid had no mercy on an inferior opponent. This time it was thought went well above and defeated (3-2).

Real Madrid came out to play with a certain air of arrogance, as if the players will look in the mirror of the attitude of their technical, Bernd Schuster. Met with the reply. And very soon. In the first minute and had embedded a goal. Juan Dominguez will have tea with Michel Salgado in the band left and beat Dudek draft crossfire.

Two rockets. That's the signal. In Irun, in Fuenterrabía in France and the border is 500 meters from the field half-minute later learned that the Royal Union went ahead without the need to put the television or listen to the radio.

Eight minutes later, however, another rocket announced the draw of Madrid. Higuaín completed a well-lethal counterattack led by Drenthe. The Madrid team had jumped to field a team apañadito. Schuster did not use to start any of the young people of Castile, perhaps after the lesson the day before had given him the Poli Ejido at Villarreal.

The Real Union had a plan. Real Madrid, only great players, and that sometimes is not enough. Furthermore, very soon, lost one of its headlights in the middle of the field, Ruben of the Network will plummet after the senseless on the pitch in the 11th minute. Apparently it is nothing but the incident ended up off to Madrid, which is disorder.

The Gipuzkoa took advantage. An error Metzelder, who lost the ball to feet Villar led to the auction in plate Juan Dominguez. It was his night. Again the rockets in his honor. And that was not all. Dudek had to get two shots over the local front before the break. Real Madrid appeared to be elsewhere. In Gal not appeared in the first 45 minutes.

Nor afterwards, despite a goal from Javier Saviola, who picked up a loose ball in the area to cross an impossible shot to Otermin. It seemed the beginning of the decline locally, which for a few minutes flojeó. But the Real Madrid resurrects a dead. No pressure, no intensity, against a rival who gave everything, he returned to falter. Goikoetxea led to the delirium of the ancient stadium bleachers to auction off a center from the right Quero. He was one of many, but the players unionists, who had read the interview from Sergio Ramos, tried almost always on the other hand, Michel Salgado, who was shipwrecked as a whole the defense of Madrid.

This time Mijatovic will not be able to blame the referee. Dauden was far more severe with weak with the strong. Even so, the Royal Union was able to save the result, it may not be sufficient in the Santiago Bernabeu, but it caused a festive invasion of the field when the referee pointed to the final. More than 70 years later, the Real Madrid came out again defeated the Stadium Gal. He returned the spirit of Emery, Rene Petit, of Gamborena. The Union was again serious. Real Madrid came back to what we usually perform when playing for the record.
