Morning forced to rest Fernando Alonso . The Spaniard, who took part Thursday in the fourth and final day of testing at Montmelo, has barely turn around three times since the beginning of the session at nine o'clock because of a failure in the water pressure in the McLaren .
More reliability problems that are added to those already suffered Button in yesterday and recover the ghosts of last year after the hopeful start of the first two days.
Alonso McLaren started up normally at nine o'clock, but after three laps installation returned to the garage and down the car indefinitely. According to the team until the afternoon session no plan to get back on track.
On the opposite side, Ferrari has shown that progress last year, when he came to discuss some career victory in Mercedes, this could be continued in 2016.
Therefore, Kimi Raikkonen has again put the Italian racing car as the fastest of the day, as happened in the first two sessions with Sebastian Vettel.
Raikkonen has dropped the clock at 1: 23,477 in four hours, while the Renault reemerged, with Kavin Magnussen, has lowered his best time to 1,786 Finnish.
Lewis Hamilton , reigning world champion, has been the most laps has given route, up to 99, with a best time something away from Raikkonen (1.26.053, to 2,576 Finnish), although in that time has made a mock race.
The Champions League is not an easy tournament for Atletico, who let out alive PSV Eindhoven in a game that clearly dominated, especially in a second half in which he enjoyed numerical superiority. The 0-0 is a troubling result because the Dutch somewhat at the Calderon Simeone forces to search the trunk of lost goals. Impeccable in defense, in attack this team needs a few hours of couch. It is what it is. And it is a problem.
Yesterday rojiblanco of blue- went to press high up, plugged from minute one, causing damage to some given the preciousness rival. With command of the match , looked combinations patients, all homologable allowed for a hard grass but too long at the back of the defenses balls : Juanfran first to Griezmann, after Gabi to Vietto; Argentina striker planted in a through ball, he caught the ball and Bruma him out when barreled into the net. In the first dangerous approach of local, Locadia dropped into the box and the referee did not buy the maneuver.
To 20 minutes, PSV took the air duel. Guardado began to appear in the path of the ball , good news for his family, although the Dutch waves sometimes not congealed. The resource centers to the area caused no problems Godin Savic -Simeone specialists and increasingly relies on the Montenegrin Central, which gradually has equaled its competition with Giménez-. After a few minutes of news, the balance was about to becomeunbalanced. Koke launched Griezmann, who inexplicably missed a dogfight with Zoet . In reply, I trompicado Pereiro appeared in the area and the ball came to Propper, who finished from close range for Oblak was brilliant.
This PSV led by exazulgrana Phillip Cocu is actually a hybrid that he notices the character of his American players , present in all lines: the impetuous Colombian Arias on the right side; Moreno Mexican -in the center of the defence- and Guardado -capataz of medullary, and Pereiro Uruguayan turned to the kitchen of opposites.
Expulsion of Pereiro
The Madrid returned after the break with renewed impetus, trying to collect advantage. The party entered a stage of rapid football, with Vietto and Griezmann ready to jostling for position . The Frenchman has dropped several rungs in recent weeks after a beginning of spectacular season: collides with few defenses before taunted and is chastised with the goal.However, the Cholo preferred to switch to Vietto by Torres for the last half hour of the meeting.
Koke, another that is below their level , made a clearance that took shape shot into his own net. At the other end , Godin headed on goal, but climbed on the back of Moreno and the action was canceled. The Uruguayan was the protagonist of the action that could have changed the match: he jumped for the ball and his compatriot Pereiro jumped him. The referee took out the second yellow card.
PSV began to run out of his praetorian guard with Spanish accent, becauseGuardado was replaced and the supporters dismissed him with the Mexican classic "Cielito Lindo" ( "Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and do not cry ...").Simeone became clear that the tie could be solved taking advantage of the numerical inferiority and fatigue rival. He called Correa to invent something at short distances. He tried without success, like all his peers.
Bale thinks the Champions League on March 8 match against Roma. And Zidane has him to perform at its best in the European Cup with Ronaldo and Benzema, his triumvirate of hope. The Welshman could force and play the derby on Saturday, but will not be in the best conditions and the risk of relapse into their twins damn would be too great.
All injuries since 2013 have been primed in the soleus , the left and the right. Five times broke the "left - handed", with constant relapses. It has been a chronic ailment. His athletic body, muscular, gets a hundred percent on the lawn and extreme effort involves finding a way of physical explosion, exhaust, that the Welshman has been left soleus. When Gareth Bale was best at Real Madrid always broken by this particular Achilles heel .
On the latter occasion, in his second game with Zidane, against Sporting,the Briton was defeated by the right soleus. It was the price the left and psychologically care work load in the right - hander. Always happens when players have fear of injury back in his weak spot. The face of sadness and resignation of Bale when he lost to the Spaniard set reflected his disappointment. Christian, that they say does not speak, went to console him . Welsh thought what he thinks Real Madrid: When is the best blow comes.
Against Celta in advance of the Roma
The crux of the question that asks the club, the player and Real Madrid is:Can play thirty consecutive games without breaking? He has never succeeded.
It is the challenge of the British. Having continuity . Sometimes he fell by their eagerness to return. He always did for those wanting to retake when he felt better. Now those same urges and the brakes Zidane. He prefers to recover well for the Champions League, which is accessible competition, and not to advance his return in the derby, nine points behind Barcelona, with the danger of a new break.
The idea is shuffled to Bale you have two options: return a few minutes next Wednesday against Levante , on 2 March in Valencia, or leave for the visit of Celta day 5 , advance the European leg against Roma.
Pepe itself will be cleared to play against Atletico , but coach can count on Ramos and Varane, which is a warning to be sanctioned card cycle, after serving punishment in Malaga after being sent off against Athletic.
Nadine Gonçalves appears as investigated in the cause alleged scam perpetrated in signing your child for Barca
The mother of Neymar , Nadine Goncalves Da Silva, declared Thursday as investigated in the case on the scam allegedly committed in signing your child for the FC Barcelona despite that initially was scheduled to do so in Brazil to have there your residence.
The judge of the Audiencia Nacional José de la Mata quoted at 9.00 Nadine Gonçalves and the representative of the family company N & N Consulting Esporteiva and Business, which like the mother of Neymar would testify in principle in Brazil.
The two appearing as part of the complaint filed by the DIS fund, which is considered swindled for not having received all the money in signing your share of the concept of federative rights.
For these facts already stated as investigated for crimes of fraud and corruption between individuals Neymar himself, his father, the Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu , and his predecessor, Sandro Rosell , who refused to testify on the signing of the player , claiming that ratified what already explained in the cause they were investigated for tax fraud and is awaiting trial in Barcelona.
For its part, the Brazilian striker said in his signing he merely signed the documents that showed his father, who in turn exonerated his son claiming that he had nothing to do with these efforts.
Neymar's father told the judge that everything was done properly and withdrew from the case on the grounds that these are contracts between two clubs, Santos and Barcelona, also investigated in this case as a legal entity.
Real Madrid has accused overmuch absences Bale and Benzema home. He has lost speed and dribbling Welsh in games against Betis (1-1), the Granada (1-2) and Malaga (1-1). A low which joined the Benzema in the Rose Garden. French is the second striker whole Madrid with 19 points, after Cristiano, who has 22 (34 in total with the twelve scored in Champions), and the success that Karim has lived this season, the best of his career club, has missed with notoriety.
Zidane has played without two of the mainstays of the BBC , at the expense of noncombustible Ronaldo, and neither Jesse nor James, nor Isco well have covered those posts at the exits. At the Bernabeu everything it is easier. The question is:Why not pay out just like at home?
The canary missed a great opportunity in Malaga where Isco, who was returning home, did not contribute effectively to the white attack. The draw played down two points to Madrid 's box after the lost in the Villamarín. Now, Zidane breathe. Benzema is expected to be high for the derby on Saturday. And Bale will play Wednesday in the Levant field or next Saturday against Celta in the Madrid coliseum, a prelude to the visit of Rome.
It is two league goals to match your brand: 21
Karim Benzema has been exercised so far in the gym and worked with the physios, but the coach has him to face Atletico. The "nine" adds those 19 goals (plus four in the European Cup ) and is the most effective striker in the Spanish championship, because it has achieved those 19 goals in 1,435 actual game.
His average is somewhat every 75 minutes . Benzema has already passed in February, its sales targets last season and is about to match their best record in the league: the 21 listed in the 2011-12 edition.
Zidane arrived at Real Madrid on January 4 undertake important missions instantly: he spoke with James, Isco and Jesse to tell you that had them;Cristiano proposed to return to the left side as the Portuguese wanted; He told Bale would return to the right side ; exposed Varane would not be understudy Pepe and play more; and he spoke with Toni Kroos out again to the team manager, while Modric would return to its role as creative in attack.
Benitez changed roles Modric and Kroos in Julylast year. He decided that the German inside right away and directed the Croatian team. The operation was not good for the German. Madrid coach wanted Kroos played the attack, medium point, like Bayern.However, Real Madrid felt unimportant in the scheme. "Luka" the colossus, did everything for them.
The Spanish coach spoke with the "eight" to find solutions . There was criticism Kroos because their performance was not the same. And Benitez took the final position of returning to the role of Toni baton and placing Modric again as inner creative.
Kroos played well again. And Modric had no problems . Simply does everything well put him where you put, because its vertical dribble and pass construction are unique.
He has regained his football safety
Zidane arrived and confirmed that the German mission in the center of the scheme. The French coach spoke to him. Kroos wanted his confidence. And Kroos again has felt important. He has regained his football safety. He has played eight games with "Zizou" command. Suma 720 699 minutes . The coach changed his win in the Spanish to give you a break.
Now the "eight" plays better and better. It has not yet become the last season. It leaves too much delay press passes and receives snubs. You must release the ball faster. Zidane says. Moment, and sent again. It will improve even more if the front and Isco are unmarked with constant movements and do not play static, as in away games.
