Kabbalistic is on the side of the Madrid. To throw this League overboard you have to screw up a lot in the five days that you have left. You can afford to tie two games or even lose one and it would not matter what Barcelona did. Zidane and his pupils have the frying pan by the handle, the leadership is well grasped.
A mattress loaded with feathers held in history. To find the last team that wasted such an advantage you have to go to Barcelona premaradian of the 1981-82 season and we talked about the era of the Leagues of two points for victory. Since they are three, none. Madrid has never lost such a big advantage at this point. The maximum was in 1991-92 and an income of three points disappeared.
The plenary session after the coronavirus, six out of six, has hatched in Valdebebas. Zizou has been handling a pounding message to the locker room since he regrouped his troops after confinement. “He told us that I wanted to win the 11 days, that the 33 points had to be added ”. Carvajal's revelation yesterday in the flash interview it was not one more. Your technician missed a Scudetto at Juve at the last second, echoes that perhaps came to mind last night. “If you read that Madrid has won half the league, will you agree?” Asked Roberto Sierra mischievously on Movistar +. “Not at all”, the Marseillaise shook off. “I know how this is, we have to wait for the end …”. Real Madrid too he remembers the Queiroz case. The Portuguese had a last five days in dire 2004. His Madrid was tied at the top of the table with Valencia de Benítez (he had the goalaverage lost) and lost those last five games. Everyone.
That does not seem to be the current dynamic. In Madrid Villamarín was considered an anomaly and that the team was in good inertia in the last Clásico. With the Champions parked in August, Zidane squeezed his own to return to the League winning those first two games at Di Stéfano, Eibar and Valencia. It was a new mini league and Zidane knew that some would not adapt to this abnormal normality. Barça could be one of them, you had to put pressure on it. The Real Madrid coach is a quiet guy, but those who know him well say that his fixation with the League is almost an obsession. The locker room temperature rose many degrees after several games of the last two, shot prematurely.
A solid Madrid
Another match with an armored Madrid behind. Was the third consecutive game with a clean sheet after Mallorca and Espanyol. They are seventeen in this League and since Buyo in 1988 there has not been a white goalkeeper riding firmer towards the Zamora Trophy as Courtois does now. Along with him, Madrid is heading towards the alirón. San Mames is marked on the calendar as the last great outing. Surviving there would be three-quarters of a title. Then, Alavés, Granada, Villarreal and Leganés. “Five finals,” insists Zidane. I said, do not trust.
