The Spanish League in front of the polarization risk (Yahoo)

The increase of the risk of a polarization between the multiple Champion, the Barcelona, and the new Real Madrid, product of the big registrations for almost three hundred millions Euros of its president Florentino Perez, is the most outstanding data of the new season of the Spanish football that starts this weekend.

Already the second round of the last season meant a hard persecution of the Real Madrid vs the Barcelona that was resolved a little before the final in the Stadium Santiago Bernabeu, both, almost thirty points ahead the third one (Sevilla), this time, the difference between both strongest teams and the rest seems to have increased.

In a very interesting speech in front of a dissimilar public in Santiago, Chile, the Argentinean coach of the teams of that country, Marcelo Bielsa (the one that uses to follow Josep Guardiola, Barcelona´s coach), declared that the changes in a team “should be performed in the moment of success, because in the bad times, it is necessary to concentrate to revert them”.

The blue-red coach, took then hard decisions in the moment of the highest trajectory of the team, historical winner of the triple crown in 2008/09 (League, Kings Cup and Champions League,) and opted to be left without his frightful Cameroon goaler, Samuel Eto´o, one of the major attackers of the history of the club, to replace him by the talented Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, though except a few registrations (Maxwell, Chyrinsky), he preferred to bet for the same winning base of the last season and to rise some of the youngsters that have shown their value in the pre-season (Pedrito, Jeffren, the Israeli Gay Asulín and the already consacrated Bojan).

In the Real Madrid, where they had a very agitated summer, things occurred to the contrary, as from the deep change lived since the arrival of the president Florentino Perez, reviving in a certain measure what White club has already saw early of the Century with the glamour of very brilliant registrations. So, the promised stars came as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Benzema, Albiol, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa and there is still left a minimum possibility for the arrival of the French Ribery, added to the coach Manuel Pellegrini, coming from the Villarreal, to try to return to a game style and a position in the game neater and consequent with the history of the entity.

The despair for the lost way and the enormous distance from Barcelona in the last seasons, made that the Real Madrid cut the route with those registrations of almost three hundred millions Euros that generated strong opinions even from the Vatican and in UEFA where the president, Michel Platini already has proponed that the clubs cannot waste more but only a determined percentage of the gains and debts.

The fundamental question of this league, besides to decipher whether the game in base of the Barcelona will impose or the sum of new stars of the Real Madrid, is if exists a minimum chance where a third team could dispute championship title and though it does not seem possible, both with more players and technical richness continue being the same that reached to pass the phase of classification of the Champions League to enter into the groups as the Sevilla and the Atletico Madrid, third and fourth in the last season. Both conserve their duplets attackers (Luis Fabiano-Kanouté and Forlán-Agüero) and as to those of Madrid, they have substantially improved the goalkeeper position with the arrival of Sergio Asenjo, for many, the Iker asillas of the future.

Another two teams that appear in the following line are the Valencia and the Villarreal, but in the case of the latter, it must be seen how the group receives the change of coach after so many years, due to the departure of Pellegrini, now substituted by Ernesto Valverde, though with the same base with which he was the protagonist for many years playing a nice football and the other test will have the renewed Zaragoza that comes back to First Division after a strange year in Second..

Another attraction is the Espanyol of Barcelona, now left the phantom of descent of category, though with the recent death of its defender, Dani Jarque and with some interesting registrations as the Japanese Nakamura, or the central Argentinean backs Juan Forlín and Facundo Roncaglia, added to the motivation to return to play in their stadium “La Bombonera” of Cornelia, after having passed several seasons wandering around the Olympic stadium Montjuic since they lost their former temple of Sarriá.

Two teams that will have to continue trying to maintain situation of a certain protagonism are the Deportivo La Coruña, that slowly is rearming searching to return to their times of Glory and the Getafe, that suffered last season the weight to participate at the same time of an European cup, the League and the Kings Cup, with a scarce group that now appears by the hand of Michel as coach.

It will be strange not to count with the Betis, descended to Second as consequence of several years of disputable management by Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, even when he counted always with excellent players but without a policy that could sustain the registrations.
