The Real Madrid cannot get out from their own hell (Yahoo)

The script of Real Madrid of the last years seems to be written by an enemy or at least by someone who wants to see them suffer before arriving to obtain the objectives signed in each season. In this opportunity, just in the week in which everything should have been smiles and expectative, the white club strived for the appearance of negative elements to turn the situation in as new chaos that ends feeding the media of communication of the whole world.

A new round of the Spanish League had just ended in which they won 0-3 over Xerez and finally the Barcelona lost their unbeaten status in the Vicente Calderón vs the cyclothymic Atlético Madrid, allowing them to shorten the distance with the leader to two points only, when there came the unexpected defeat in Lyon vs the Olympique, at the eight-finals of the Champions League by 1-0, that put them again in the eye of storm and not only they are obliged in the revenge of March in the Santiago Bernabeu to win, but they should not be careless with the French marking some goal from the Argentinean duple of attack, composed by the terrific Lisandro López and César Delgado.

Everything can happen in Madrid in the revenge, and the Madrilenian media have the feeling that they put in the title page the information that the Real Madrid started to probe the Portuguese coach José Mourinho, a guarantee of championships though nothing has to do his system with what the white president, Florentino Pérez, talks about, as their sport director, Jorge Valdano.

In Real Madrid nothing is important and what they cannot allow themselves is a new elimination in eights in the Champions League, which since five years they cannot over pass and it seems that the environment of the team is preparing themselves for an operation to cover any defeat, as it would be to announce an agreement with Mourinho, who has in his contract with the Inter, with which he won the Scudetto in 2009, a clause that allows him to get out in case of an attractive offer as this one.

Though some days ago this injuring sentence of one condemned to say farewell, Juan de Ramos seemed remote, when the Real Madrid was beaten in both matches in eight-finals of the Champions League by Liverpool in 2009, referring to the team “showed that has not sufficient level to go ahead in a competitions like this one” or the antecessor in charge Bernd Schuster, had to leave before the classic with Barcelona admitting that in the Camp Nou it will be impossible to obtain a good result, everything indicated that those times have ended and that with the arrival of mega stars everything would be different.

But at present, the Real Madrid is eliminated and early of the King’s Cup by the humble Alcorcón, when the Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini was near to have his head cut, they are the second in the League, though now only two points from Barcelona and must revert the result vs the Lyon in March if they want finally to overcome the red line of the damnation of the last years in the Champions.
At least, as to the footballistic rendering, what the white team did up to now on the field game was at least discussible. Years have passed, an enormous money investment was performed, but the bad things continue being structural and if it were not for the irregular but genial Guti, there continue failing someone to pass the ball between lines who would be the axis, and who takes the dominion of the ball for the team.

The Real Madrid, even with more than three hundred millions of Euros in registering, essentially is a team of counter attack though each time with major forcefulness because they have adjusted their executors but their philosophy has not changed, continues leaving the ball to the rival and continues having some defensive problems, meanwhile many players, due to the heavy environment that always generates due to the anxiety of titles, they appeal to individual safety before the collective.

It is in this context in which, four months to the final of a large season, the Madrid starts to eat another coach, this time the very capable engineer Pellegrini. Who has already proved his tactical knowledge, having formed the best Villarreal of its history (he was at a penalty to arrive to the final of the Champions 2006) and then to win titles in Argentina with River Plate and San Lorenzo de Almagro.

Today not only Pellegrini has to collide against all kind of press attacks, that request immediate results, but he must support questioning on behalf of the directives regarding his job, every time more direct, and now are added rumors of his possible withdrawal due to a bad result in Lyon.-

Everything is possible in this Madrid that does not want to think about being eliminated so soon from the Champions and leave free way that in May, its archrival Barcelona may win their fourth trophy nothing less but in Bernabeu.

But nothing of this seems casual. It seems more that the Real Madrid tries to form their own hell, from which they do not know how to get out.
