Tour results:.

SPAIN. LA LIGA, 8 TOUR 05 OCTOBER 2018 22:00 Athletic 1: 3 Real Sociedad 06 OCTOBER 2018 14:00 Girona 2: 3 Eibar 17:15 Getafe 0: 1 Levante 19:30 Alaves 1: 0 Real Madrid 21:45 Leganes 1 : 0 Rayo Vallecano 07 OCTOBER 2018 13:00 Valladolid 1: 0 Huesca 17:15 Atletico 1: 0 Betis 19:30 Sevilla 2: 1 Celta 19:30 Espanyol 3: 1 Villarreal 21:45 Valencia 1: 1 Barcelona Valverde is inoperable Exit to Mestal is always difficult for the giants, but competent coaches are often able to make life easier for their wards. Valverde does the opposite. During the week, Barcelona had a great match in London, and a few days later Ernesto fielded exactly the same squad for the game against Valencia, replacing only Clement Lengle. In this case, the first substitution in a duel occurs after the 80th minute.. Ahead of the “blue-garnet” is no less a simple schedule, and if Valverde continues to mock his players in the same way, then at the end of the season he will be in trouble, namely, the need to write a resume and look for a new job.

Now to match. We saw nothing new in the game of Barcelona.. 76% ball possession and ball rolling. One thing was clear - if Leo Messi was removed from the field, Barcelona would immediately collapse.. And even this was not a novelty.. Barcelona without Leo - like a man without a heart or head, and this will not change. The Argentinian brilliantly struck exactly into the corner after a discount from Luis Suarez, which allowed guests to even the score. A goal was missed at the very beginning of the bout after a terrible game of defenders in a corner opponent.

Second half was boring. The teams created very few dangerous moments and eventually painted a draw.. Both teams played far from their maximum. Barca did not have enough freshness and sharpness, Valencia tritely feared the opponent and was afraid to risk. Nevertheless, there is no catastrophe in this draw for Barcelona, ??but questions about the game accumulate and accumulate. Again Valverde surprises with its limitations. And it is very strange that in such a big club there are no people who will point the coach to this and help solve problems..

Real Madrid continues to degrade “Creamy” managed to beat Barcelona and lost on the road to Alaves. The team was supposed to "show teeth" after failing in Moscow, but instead it took another step back.. Lopetegi conducted another experiment, and he was again a failure. It's about trying to use Dani Seballos on the spot of Marco Asensio. Also, once again we received confirmation that Real has no leader. There is no player who would lead and earn for the team victory.

The press is even talking about the resignation of Lopetegi. Hulen was not avoided. The crisis was brewing. The only question is whether the coach will be able to bring the team out of this crisis? Time for this is less and less, and Lopetegi certainly understands this.. His only happiness is that Barcelona also loses points. If the main contender “Blancos” won, then the fans of Real Madrid could well force Peres to dismiss the mentor.

Alaves long endured and, of course, took advantage of his chance. Is it the case? It is unlikely, however, such a defeat may well finally shake Real. Not scoring four games in a row - this is not a joke. Ramos said in an interview that the team will fight for Lopetegi to the end. Well, it's about time.

Sevilla on top A few weeks ago, everyone criticized Sevilla after two defeats in a row from Betis and Getafe respectively, and today nerviontsy absolutely in the case rose to the top of the standings. In this tour, the team Machina beat Seltu. Victory named Pablo Sarabii. The Spaniard is progressing noticeably this season and is now making a serious bid for getting into the Spanish national team..

The players of Sevilla managed to quickly get into the ideas of Machin and now this team is the best in the championship in quality of the game.. Seville has a match with Barcelona on the Camp Nou, and this is a great chance to prove your strength and apply for the fight for. For what? What can this Seville claim? It’s too early to draw conclusions, but a match against Barcelona will certainly help in this..

Atletico Atletico's hardest win in a home game against Betis had the ball 36% of playing time, but in the end won. In the first half, the hosts looked closely at the opponent and looked for his weaknesses, while in the second half they switched to an active offensive..

Victory "Indians" brought the exact shot, who replaced Angel Correa. Brilliant punch. Interestingly, for all 90 minutes, Betis has never struck the shots on target.

In one line:.

Espanyol won again at home. This time the scalp was removed from Villarreal. “Parrots”, for a minute, struck 28 shots on goal Asenho, 12 of which fell on the target. Victory owners gave blows Darder and Piatti in the last minutes of the match.

Valladolid achieved the third minimum victory in a row and confidently burst into the top-10. The only goal scored by Ruben Alcaras. Leganes with the same score in his field took up above Rayo. Finally, an important goal was noted Guido Carillo.

Getafe Bordalas continues to fall. This time the team managed in its field to concede Levante. Enis Bardhi came off the bench at the beginning of the second half, and 15 minutes later scored the winning goal.

Getafe and Girona have a lot in common. Last season, both teams fought for Europe, and now they are failing match after match.. At this time, the Catalans in their field gave way to Eibar - 2: 3. The main exchange of fire took place in the first half, while the victorious goal was scored by Sergi Enrich in the 72nd minute.

And for a snack, the Sociedad and Athletics bout is the real Basque derby. Athletic is extremely strong on San Mames, but something went wrong this weekend. “Lions” failed the second half and could not return to the game. At the same time, we note that the hosts have surpassed the opponent in all respects, except for the main thing - goals scored.
