Barça
lose to their eternal rivals
Two defeats tell their toll and show
up the blues and reds
The negative atmosphere that floated in the air and made Real Madrid
favorites has its effect last night in the Santiago Bernabeu. Madrid
started by winning as soon as the game started, dominating the field
and ending the day showing their superiority at home. The Catalans braved
the attack and were lucky not to have more goals scored against them.
The absence of a goal scorer and a defensive pivot left Barça open and
caused their defeat to Real Madrid.
The fans do not forgive the ups and downs and after two consecutive
defeats, today nobody wants to talk about last night's game with their
eternal enemy. Rijkaard's Barça lacked tactics to try to replace the
number 9 and fill the gap left by Eto'o, and this was reflected not
only in last night's game, but also last week against Chelsea.
Ronaldinho and his companions are sure to already be making an evaluation
of their game against Real Madrid and hoping that this defeat is just
a slip to allow them to identify their faults in the tactical game;
they have to raise their spirits so necessary for building a victory,
and work with greater concentration in training, essential for gaining
a good rhythm.
