Malaga 1-0 Atletico: Correa not stop dreaming

Atletico played with fire and nearly burned. Touching the coals, Correa arrived in the second half to give the mattress box calm before aMálaga bronco and hard on the pitch. The tactic of Javi Gracia worked, but could not beat a Oblak following on a roll. Rarely Andalusians, who practically went in search of an equalizer. Simeone finished expelled for being responsible for the bench, place a second ball came out to the field in against Malaga.

slow, disputed, balanced and bronco Party. Malaga was presented at the Vicente Calderon in order to stand up and get something positive out of one of the most difficult areas of Spain. Atletico just got in trouble the goal of Ochoa, indicating a clear level of pressure of a rojiblanco table was expressed during the 90 minutes. He began advising the Andalusian club with a Cop shot from outside the box forcing Oblak to fly to avoid the 0-1. Slovenian level is ideal for addressing the semifinals of the Champions League.

On the next play, before reaching the first fifteen minutes, Griezmann had the clearest chance of the match. A center Koke from the left wing did not get to finish Torres at the near post, but the ball continues to flow to the foot of the French, who -incomprensiblemente- sends the ball out of defense out of place and Ochoa and beaten. The meeting would begin to slow the pace and intensity, reaching highlighted by the continuous failures by both teams.

Malaga put up on the pitch before a Athletic that cost more and more to reach the area. It was not until 43 minutes when the Madrid box came to the front of the goal of Ochoa, who had to stretch to prevent the shot Carrasco came to the network. The controversial move would come a moment later, when one against Malaga almost interrupted by the entrance of a second balloon to the field from the bench rojiblanco. Given the lack of whom was the author, Simeone was ejected for being the head.

The second part would not have much difference. Atletico began to see how he escaped the match against a tough opponent. Perhaps with the mind in the game against Bayern, the mattress barely managed to put in check to Malaga. In any single move could give the Andalusians the shock and spoil the party for the locals. However, Correa arrive 62 minutes to advance to his with a shot from outside the box after hitting Albentosa, it is introduced into the goal. The rebound greatly misled to Ochoa could do nothing to prevent both players Simeone.

In the last half hour, Javi Gracia ushered Chory Castro and Roque Santa Cruz in search of better offensively, but Atletico also correctly performed his party back. He almost Correa scored the second, but his shot from inside the box after a great play by going off the front just close the bar high. They jumper with just 10 minutes remaining when Juanpi warned they would not surrender. A point was the Málaga player to score the equalizer from outside the box, but his shot went off bounds near the left post of Oblak.

The end of the game came after suffering, slogan and classic mode colchonero life of every amateur. Leaders remain alone waiting for what the Barcelona . Having done their homework, the view now put Bayern. Reach the semifinals of the Champions League and no place to failure. Like the Real Madrid , Manzanares neighbors do not fail.

Karim Benzema retires in hurt in the game against Rayo Vallecano

Karim Benzema had to leave the pitch Vallecas stadium with muscle problems minutes before the referee decreed the end of the first half.

The French striker, who has been replaced by Lucas Vázquez, took a few minutes before limping confirm the change. The tip suffers slight discomfort on the right side of the right thigh and has been changed as a precaution, so that their participation in the Champions League is not in danger.

He Real Madrid has left the rest falling by the minimum against Rayo Vallecano (2-1) after goals from Embarba, Miku and Gareth Bale.

'Eagle' Gareth Bale also in Vallecas

It could not be otherwise. In a working stage,Real Madrid had to put on overalls. Partly because the party started twenty minutes later that Rayo Vallecano . With franjirrojos released, the white team had not yet awakened from a nap, and when he tried to sound the alarm, electronic and scored 2-0. And Keylor Navas avoiding the third and fourth of the franjirrojos. He played heroic again, just ten days after coming back to Wolfsburg, but this time with even less time. And less initial predisposition, by the way.

Stuck in the middle of the field, Real Madrid had to toil in recovery and also in circulation in midfield. Too late, but he ended embarrándose the monkey. Hence the goal came Gareth Bale . Corner, head zo and the hole. Or the network, depending how you look. Too bad for white interests that had to do without Karim Benzema before the break.

He was not being his best game, but not otherwise '9', their absences are of the most talked about in the template. Not as much as lack Carvajal and 'have' to play Danilo, but almost. And the semifinals of the Champions League are just around the corner. A year later , history repeats itself: at the Juventus without midfielder; against Manchester City , perhaps without striker. Or at least, since he retired as a precaution, not the only striker to 100%.

SO IS THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE LEAGUE BBVA
The second half was Real Madrid and completely. With the cast Ray, the white team owner and master of the game was made. As if the first part had fallen on deaf ears in the fourth step of changing time. With much faster in circulation, soon franjirrojo team was completely enclosed in their own area.

And there, until Lucas Vázquez is able to make head-to Danilo center. As it happened.

Luka Modric and James Rodriguez took the field in the final minutes, reinforcing the merengue superiority in midfield. Look at the Vallecas stadium is minimal, and Ray took him immeasurably.

The comeback was a fact, and ended up signing Gareth Bale in a hand by hand after the Lightning lost ball. Without Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, the Welshman took the gallons and responded as expected of a 'crack' of its size.

If ever a king accepted in Vallecas, Gareth won his crown Saturday with this 'eagle' for your card in the field franjirrojo.

Diego Simeone, sent off in Atletico - Malaga,

Diego Simeone was ejected from the match between Atletico Madrid and Malaga after he threw a ball from the Atletico bench that cut a backlash costasoleño team.

Argentine coach saw the red card after not to leave the official who threw the ball to pitch, so Simeone did not continue in the band of Vicente Calderon to be responsible for the bench.

But Diego Simeone could say goodbye to the league season, it is that as reflected in the regulations, could be punished "with a minimum of three parties" considered the action as "an incorrect action".

Rafa Nadal: "It is the mind that lets you do more"

After beating Fognini, and after learning that Kohlschreiber will rival in the semifinals, Rafael Nadal talks about how you are feeling at this week's Barcelona Open.

Rafael Nadal has said, after defeating Italian Fabio Fognini 6-2, 7-6 (1) and get the pass to the semifinals of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Trofeo Conde de Godo, the "mental strength" is one of the key is allowing him to make "fewer mistakes" in this stretch of the season. it will measure Kohlschreiber , who beat Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-1.

Spanish, first head of series , has thus broken a run of two years without getting the ticket to the penultimate round of the Barcelona Open, which has won eight times.

" It is the mind that lets you do more, either the forehand or backhand, not making mistakes, not giving away points and I am getting", he stressed after the Nadal match, who added that "hopefully I can continue like this because it is one of the bases of my game of life ". A " mental strength " today has allowed him to beat Fognini, the man who last year got off him in the second round of the Barcelona tournament.

"Fognini played very well, with you left and hit winners. I played a pretty good game , that could have been closed before, but to win two sets against an opponent as Fognini is always good news , " he added. In this sense, number five in the world rankings has recognized that in the second set, when the Italian has won four straight games, might have let slip the meeting.

"The feelings were not comparable to last year. If it had happened today what happened last year, I had entered anxiety , " he explained. Therefore, it has been shown very satisfied with a win against one of the "best players" on clay: " It is a very positive result against a very tough opponent , that the circumstances of the game could have been more favourable or unfavorable."

Tomorrow Nadal will face German Philipp Kohlschreiber with "Kohlschreiber plays more with the boat and its style is more like clay" he analyzed.

Thus, Nadal will enjoy semifinals in Godo - "I can not ask for more , " he enfatizado- and thanked the support of the center court at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona in the game today. "I have enjoyed and support from the stands was very special for me. I am very happy for the win and play great tennis. Tomorrow is another day to have the opportunity to compete well again" he concluded.

Vicente del Bosque: Spain is not required to win Euro 2016

Vicente del Bosque , national coach wanted to play down favoritism to the Spanish team , which will be presented at Euro 2016 as defending champions: "We have greater responsibility because we are champions of the last two editions is not easy to do try to keep up.. "he told the newspaper People .

"Being on stage in Paris during the draw for the European Championship, the 24 coaches, I thought 23 fail. But it is not failure, it is impossible to win all will only do one. How much can we speak of disappointment, but this is sport, not be forgotten. We must raise awareness of the need to be more athletic. you can not put on any publication that Spain is obliged to win. that is not understood" recalls salmantino.

In this regard, shares the statements of Portuguese defender Pepe, where the Real Madrid player said after the 2-0 at Wolfsburg, who try to turn around the result in the second leg with the support of their fans. "Such statements are typical of an athlete, but in some places the player was criticized saying it should have ensured that they were going to pick up. There are a number of unsportsmanlike gestures that are very bad and harmful for everyone" believes.

heart attacks and sudden deaths among athletes

There is little likelihood that a young person in good physical shape suffer a heart attack. However, one can not say the same for the athletes. Four years ago, English football fans watched in horror Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba, 23, is suddenly collapsed due to a heart attack during a televised match against Tottenham Hotspur in London.

Luckily, the player was quickly treated by medical staff and one of the Tottenham fans: a consultant cardiologist who helped immediately taken to hospital. Muamba's heart was stopped for 78 minutes but still survived, though no longer plays football professionally.

Dr. Paul Chiam, a cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital , explains why young people have heart attacks and how they can avoid them .

1) What is the leading cause of death or heart failure in healthy young athletes?

The most common cause is sudden cardiac arrest, often due to ventricular fibrillation, ie, an abnormal and irregular heartbeat. The two main causes irregular heartbeats in the heart in young athletes are:

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle.
Congenital abnormalities affecting the heart's electrical conduction, ie alter their normal pace.

2) Is there sex differences?

Yes, most sudden cardiac arrest occur in men.

3) Are rare cases?

The new Camp Nou, the perfect storm

Josep Maria Bartomeu not find eighteen million euros to bring Agudo Nolito in January, as it was the wish of first team coach, but says he will find six hundred to redraw comprehensively all club facilities. Last Wednesday the president guaranteed that "the new stadium will not jeopardize the sports project". However, there was also guaranteed that it would submit two proposals shirt sponsorship for the club in the Assembly last October and did not bring even a partner to the elector.

"I'm worried zero" Luis Enrique Martinez said today when asked about the possible impact in the short and medium term that can have such a work, whose investment equals total revenue for the club for a whole year. In the same line as the president, the coach said that "this project will have no effect on the playing field" and only regretted "having to wait so long before seeing it completed" in 2022, according to markings between the club and studies plan Nikken Sekkei architecture and Pascual-Ausió.

A boat soon, the dance numbers has already begun. Initially the new Camp Nou was budgeted at 420 million euros, serving as the jewel in the crown called Espai Barça, which will also include a new Palau Blaugrana and the Campus, with catering and hospitality, a project that in total amounted to 600 million. However, the budget of the new stadium has mysteriously reduced to 360 million.

It is not unreasonable to think that the lack of sponsor, and the freezing of negotiations with the supplier of sports equipment, may have had a direct impact in the form of some slowdown in reducing debt, and may complicate life the first team in the financial chapter, limiting the capacity and robustness pay when paid clauses of new players, and these circumstances, in turn, end up having a negative impact on results. Normal powerpoints that are increasingly austere, if you can use this buzzword when these astronomical figures are discussed.

Naturally it is a situation that nobody wants but hanging in the air like the goal at the Santiago Bernabeu match against Borussia Dortmund almost twenty years ago. That is, the future hangs by a thread, virtually, and can fall apart at the slightest. The only financial plan there is to sell the name of the stadium 200 million, without specifying for how many years, take a credit of 200 and put 200 out of pocket. In other words, Bartomeu already has 200 million and faces not yet have an increase of 400 million in debt, which would be multiplied by two. All this if there is no additional cost of any kind, which is also seen.

Given that the salary cap imposed by the FIFA prevents the club making transfers unless the budget is extended or financial margin designed to chips of the players is reduced, it is feared what might happen if Barcelona still can not find sponsor, unrenovated one of its stars and embarking on a huge project without having tied an admittedly optimistic in their forecasts financing. The foregoing, however, do not make me optimistic about the storm that you can find the Catalan club if something does not go well. And the president 's words are not especially reassuring.

Suarez feels "privileged" to break the record of Ronaldo

Striker of Barcelona Luis Suarez said he felt "privileged" after scoring four goals against Deportivo La Coruna with whom he surpassed the mark of Brazilian Ronaldo 48 goals in a season for the club.

Uruguay, which reached 49 goals in 48 games this season, inspired the resounding victory by 8-0 against Deportivo, ending a run of four league games without a win and rekindling the commitment of the team win the title League. "I feel privileged and proud to outdo Ronaldo for what he did for the club and world football, is a privilege pass a football genius like him," Suarez said Thursday.

Suarez also gave three assists in the demolition of Deportivo, becoming the first player in league history to be directly involved in seven goals in a game.

Ronaldo scored 48 goals in his first season at Barcelona in 1996-97 and was the second top scorer in the club in a season, although it is far from eclipsing the record set by Lionel Messi , who scored 73 times in the season 2011- 12.

The Uruguayan said it was important to win back the way they did against Deportivo, after Barca suffered three consecutive defeats in the league for the first time since 2003, which allowed the Atletico Madrid will tie on points with them and that Real Madrid is placed only one.

"We are very focused on winning after so many games without a win, we are human and it hurts when you lose, but we got the win and were the better team so we feel more relaxed now , " Suarez said also defended his teammate Neymar who had recently received criticism .

"We are humans, not machines, we have ups and downs and it hurts everyone would have blamed him. When we won all last year nobody said it was for Neymar and it's not their fault now," Suarez said.

On Thursday, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu presented plans for remodeling the Camp Nou stadium.

The project, designed by a Japanese firm, will increase the stadium capacity of 99,000 to 105,000 spectators and install a roof.

It is scheduled to commence in 2017 and end in 2021, with most of the work carried out for the season to prevent Barcelona's home matches are affected.

"A club like ours need the best stadium, we all win with the new Camp Nou," Bartomeu said.

Gerrard ) came to me and said: 'you wanted to punch him" he adds .
