Its been said by wise men for many, many years how Football is afluctuating game of CRAZY luck, spirits & results. Who would haveimagined two weeks ago with the Real Madrid institutional pillars"crumbling" & Coach Pellegrini´s position on the edge, that REALMADRID would be at the Top of the "La Liga" ladder?

Real Madrid in testa alla Liga. Al Bernabeu gli uomini di Pellegrini piegano, di misura, il Racing di Santander grazie alla firma di Higuain al 22' del primo tempo. In virtù di questo risultato ma soprattutto del passo falso del Barcellona, che rimedia solo un punticino al San Mamés di Bilbao (1 a 1 il punteggio finale, di Dani Alvés la rete blaugrana), le merengues volano in vetta alla classifica del campionato spagnolo con 28 punti, uno in più dei rivali di mister Guardiola.

...que tanto Pep Guardiola como los aficionados del Barça estén algo preocupados. A falta de tres días para el trascendental duelo ante el Inter por Champions y a tan sólo una semana del gran clásico, el conjunto culé volvió a dejar puntos fuera de casa y acusó nuevamente la falta de pegada ante la ausencia de Ibrahimovic.

• For the love of Kun, the Rojiblancos have been slapped with a fine of 150 euros (about the cost of a decent La Liga ticket these days). Anyway, RFEF meted out that small punishment after Atletico's fans were said to have thrown objects at Pellegrini from the stands during the Madrid derby on November 7.

Bruno Alves may be Portugal's Man of the Moment, but our sad and forgotten hero is Greaseano. He returned to training with the Pellegrini Pack yesterday, after witnessing his national team's narrow 1-0 victory over Bosnia. No one came to ask him if he wanted M&Ms during half time, so do forgive his bitterness.

Its no news that Liverpool is preforming quite horrid at the moment, sitting in 7th place, 11 points behind Chelsea. With the combination of poor form and the plague of injuries that seem to be following the lads over at Anfield, we can only ask come January who will help aid these wounds.

Hernanes:

This 24 year old Brazilian native is the perfect item to fill the whole left by the exit of Xabi Alonso.

According the Sports daily "AS", REAL MADRID General Director JorgeValdano has given clear instructions to Coach Pellegrini; stop rotatingthe team & begin establishing a "prototype" 11 team.This has two implications:1. the below photo is the team we should be seeing from now on, withthe only difference that Cristiano Ronaldo will take the place of Marcelowhen he returns from his ankle injury.

Remontar un cuatro a cero no es trabajo para medianías. El Madrid nunca lo fue, de ahí que se esperara una proeza frente al Alcorcón. Pero la sorpresa fue que no llegó la sorpresa esperada. Si frente al Zaragoza, pocos años atrás, se rozó la machada y ello envalentonó al equipo, frente al equipo amarillo no se estableció un hito en la historia de las vueltas de tortilla, sino en la historia de los ridículos.

Real Madrid has a huge problem, their Coach Pellegrini has no clearidea of what he wishes his team to play, or having said this, hasn'tthe personality sufficient to apply his formula. Yesterday's SpanishCup elimination was embarrassing, it wasn't because the opponentAlcorcon are a 2ºB Division team, it's the way the team went aboutit's attempt to turn around the 4-0 score line deficit from the 1º Click to continue reading...

El Barça logra lo que el Madrid debía hacer, meter 5 goles a un Segunda B. Los blaugranas cumplen con creces ante la Cultural Leonesa endosándole una manita. Bojan, por partida doble, Pedro, que está en una racha impresionante, Messi, un golazo, y Xavi hicieron los goles, todos ellos en la segunda parte. Click to continue reading...

Maybe Prime Minister Zapatero was right. It's good to see proverbial underdogs winning sometimes, and in a tournament like the Copa del Ray, upsets always seem to happen. Except we're talking about Real Madrid here and they're supposed to be formidable this season enough to cancel out their 26 year drought in this competition.

No recuerdo una derrota más humillante que esta, frente al Alcorcón. No pudo titularse mejor. Es increíble cómo perdieron la eliminatoria a doble partido cerrando en el Bernabéu. Hoy no apareció ese histórico espíritu que les hace ganar con la pura camiseta, como en otras ocasiones. Fue un equipo vulgar.

Sigamos con el patrón habitual en una jornada algo sosa para los equipos españoles.
AC Milan-Real Madrid: Después de los varapalos insensatos hacia el señor Pellegrini, el principal a cargo de cierto periódico que, haciendo gala de un despreciable criterio, tituló en portada "Pellegrini Vete Ya", el entrenador chileno dio con la tecla una vez más y consiguió que su equipo carburara en San Siro.

AC Milan v Real Madrid
Tuesday 03 November 2009, San Siro
UEFA Champions League
Kick-Off: 19:45 UK (20:45 CET)

Real Madrid face the daunting task of taking on AC Milan at the San Siro tonight as they try to get their Champions League campaign back on track sans Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real's humiliation brings back the faith in the game. These days I have been thinking whether Florentino Perez is just an amateur who thought he knows football or is it mere profit he is into.

Simply, no man would make the same mistake twice. Los Galacticos one were tragic but this other version looks like a group of clowns.

This week included two gigantic matches in world football, the North London Derby, Arsenal against Tottenham, and Ajax against Feyenoord. Pellegrini is a bit safer at Madrid, and Benitez is moving up the spots in the sack race. While Inter escape to the top of Serie A, seven points above second place Juventus, Portsmouth start getting the three points needed to start moving up the Premiership table.

"Soy un gran admirador de Pellegrini"
Além de campeão no campo, é também um exemplo de fair-play, ética e princípios. Dar uma mãozinha ao colega do grande rival, num momento particularmente difícil para este, não está ao alcance de todos. É desta massa que são feitos os grandes homens, no futebol e fora dele.

Está difícil a vida de Pellegrini. Não bastou o Alcórcon, também agora os jogadores o começam a contestar desta forma. Cristiano, estavas tão bem em Manchester.El sainete madridista

No entiendo nada. Resulta que todo el mundo sabe que Guti mandó a esparragar a su entrenador, máxima autoridad del vestuario, delante de todos sus compañeros.

Sería la hostia que saliera un jugador en rueda de prensa y dijera: "Estamos hartos de este entrenador. Que se vaya". Pero no, siempre dicen que están "a muerte" con él, cuando los periodistas intuyen carnaza de despido y preguntan a los cómplices. Granero ya ha dicho que la plantilla está "a muerte" con Pellegrini, y Guti y Cristiano le han hecho coro con otras palabras. Click to continue reading...

Real Madrid will be travelling to Milan on Tuesday without Cristiano Ronaldo. The current "World Player of the Year" is still recovering from his ankle injury but will miss at least one more Champions League match.

Real Madrid has to hope to turn around their recent run of poor form with a victory in Italy but Milan is a side who are steadily improving.

After losing 4-0 to Alcorcon midweek, Wedgiellas over here wants to pull a Saltimbanco and pretend that nothing's happening. Looks like Iker's bestie, Rafael Nadal, forgot to collect his equipment from the Bernabeu. He arrived at training yesterday in good spirits.

Esto se pone bueno. En el medio-tiempo del partido donde el gigante Alcorcon le iba ganando 3-0 al pequeño Real Madrid, el veterano jugador Guti, enfurecido, pidio a sus compañeros que reaccionen y le pongan huevos pero Pellegrini le dijo 'tranquila nena y cambiate que no vas a entrar pa' el segundo tiempo'.

Con la velocidad de un rayo salieron las remeras del "Terremoto Alcorcón" (€ 17) después de la temblorosa noche merengue y de que, sin ningún tipo de disimulo ni problema cierto periodismo español salga a bajar línea en letras catástrofe pretendiendo hacer echar a alguien (Pellegrini) cuyo sueldo es pagado por otro (Florentino Pérez).

"Nos han dado una lección de humildad", admitía Raúl González Blanco al final del encuentro. "Pedimos perdón al Madridismo", decía Valdano. " Fue una vergüenza, pero no voy a dimitir", afirmaba Pellegrini.

Pellegrini es un hombre de costumbres. Repite comidas, corbatas, discurso... y ridículos coperos. El ingeniero tiene un problema con este torneo desde que llegó a España. El humillante 4-0 del Real Madrid en Alcorcón que tanto escuece al madridismo, debió parecerle un déjà vu al entrenador chileno. Click to continue reading...

Esta noche se inció en España las ronda de la Copa del Rey en la que entraban en liza los equipos que juegan en Europa.
Para los que no lo sepan, el sorteo en España no es "puro" sino que los equipos que disputan competición europea se miden contra los equipos de Segunda B. Es una medida de no "cargar" a los equipos que nos representan más allá de la Liga y de hacer que equipos modestos puedan hacer una gran taquilla. Click to continue reading...

Without Cristiano Ronaldo, the Merengues lacked creativity and an attacking spark.

Karim Benzema and Kaka both had an unmemorable outing. It was the supporting cast of Granero, Marcelo and Raul that provided the threat and in the second half Royston Drenthe had his moments.

Pellegrini turned defensive with Lass and Alonso creating redundancy in the holding midfielder positions, with Alonso a bit more adventurous.

AC Milan vs Real Madrid:

So far we have seen Barcelona vs Internazional and Juventus vs Bayern Munich. Now we will be treated to another clash between two of Europe's most celebrated clubs.

Kaka will look to haunt his former side.

AC Milan's visit to the Bernabeu comes after they picked up a win this weekend thanks to contributions from Brazilians, Ronaldinho and Pato (finally). Click to continue reading...

Well, 36-year-old Roberto Carlos has decided that he's leaving Fenerbahce in December and wants to return to Real Madrid so bad that he's offering to play for them from January to June for free. Unfortunately, this is a club where they're even willing to pay the toilet cleaners seven figure salaries plus all the cash they can eat, so that offer might not be enough to convince the Spanish giants to take on an aging aged star.

Grande Real, grande Cristiano Ronaldo. E' ancora il portoghese il protagonista nell'undici di Pellegrini. Il Pallone d'Oro in carica si rende autore di una prestazione eccellente. In 70 minuti, nei quali è stato utilizzato dal mister, realizza una splendida doppietta e propizia il rigore, realizzato dall'altro fenomeno delle merengues, l'ex milanista Kakà .
