SPAIN. LA LIGA, 5 TOURS 21 SEPTEMBER 2018 22:00 Huesca 0: 1 Real Sociedad 22 SEPTEMBER 2018 14:00 Rayo Vallecano 1: 5 Alaves 17:15 Celta 3: 3 Valladolid 17:15 Eibar 1: 0 Leganes 19:30 Getafe 0 : 2 Atletico 21:45 Real Madrid 1: 0 Espanyol 23 SEPTEMBER 2018 13:00 Levante 2: 6 Sevilla 17:15 Villarreal 0: 0 Valencia 21:00 Betis 2: 2 Athletic 21:45 Barcelona 2: 2 Girona The sensation at the Camp Nou Know. Leo did not shave for luck?.
Very controversial match took place in Barcelona. To the champion from the next city Girona glanced and was able to sensationally take on the Camp Nou one point. To my great regret, after the fight that Girona undoubtedly held at the highest level, everyone is discussing not her game or even the game of Barcelona, ??but the decision of Hil Manzano, which influenced the further course of the match and the development of events. Speech, as you already guessed, about the removal of Clement Lengle in the 35th minute of the meeting. Let's start from now on.
So, Pere Pons drives Clement in the leg and the referee rightly assigns a foul to the gates of Girona. Then he is prompted that, during the fall, Lengle roughly drove into the face of his opponent and this moment allegedly requires a separate hearing. Manzano twice looks repetition and quietly removes the Frenchman. A bold decision, but is it fair? The grounds for sending Clement to rest at the referee were - on a replay it is clearly visible that Lengle elbow punced Pons in the head and at the same time his hand was in an unnatural position.
That is, can we say that Manzano acted according to the letter of the law? Repeat clearly shows that the blow to the head is almost one second with a blow in the leg, that is, it is a signal - no impact on inertia there and was not close. But still there is no doubt that it was not necessary to remove Langle. The match did not require such tough decisions. Yellow Lengle and continue the game. In this case, no one would have told the referee a word and did not even remember that episode, but in the end his radical measure led to endless arguments.
"I did not expect that in that moment the referee will go to watch the replay. I thought that VAR solves the problem. For example, when the referee is grossly mistaken and prompted. I did not even see an elbow blow ".
And here Valverde is not right. That is, in such "small" situations, you do not need to watch the repetition? And what if in the next match one of Barcelona's opponents will hit Valverde's wards in the face and this will be left without attention of the referee? Then you will not need to stop the game?.
Barcelona was about to appeal the removal of Lengle, but it is obvious that this is a useless undertaking. Prove that Clement acted unintentionally will not work, and disqualify the player no one else is going to. It is unfortunate that after such a match you have to spend so much time and energy for the sake of discussing a single moment, but ignoring it would be wrong. Our result - Manzano should write Lengle not red but yellow card.
Exhaled. Now to the game. Valverde has worked on the bugs and is trying to rotate right from the beginning of the season. In the match with Girona, several doubles appeared on the field: Semedu, Lengle, Vidal and Arthur. These permutations were expected to lead to problems. Home was in center field. Vidal and Arthur are far from Coutinho and Rakitic, and Busquets suffered from this. Vidal acted well ahead of him, freed the areas for Messi, excellent passes, but because of his actions suffered the integrity of the game of Barcelona.
The same goes for Arthur. The Brazilian tried to act next to Busquets and tried to free him from part of the work, but in the end he was waiting for about the same fate as Vidal - he was the second culprit of the fact that the structure of the game "blaugranas" was destroyed. It was the weakness of Barcelona in the midfield that the players of Girona enjoyed very well when they easily crossed the center of the field and created dangerous moments.
The paragraph about the Peak (or Pique - is it a paragraph?). In this match, Gerard was as ridiculous as ever. The only thing he did not do in this game was not retired. Everything else was. Did you bring the ball? Brought. Did you save the gate? Savior. Goal scored? Scored. And how to evaluate his actions? Pique pulled a draw for his team, but without his mistakes Barcelona would not be in this position.
Also note a mediocre match played by Dembele and Suarez. Louis remembered that cool moment when he elegantly threw the ball between the legs of the defender and struck the goalkeeper, and also. all. Dembele did absolutely nothing useful at all. Of the players who came out from the first minutes, only Leo Messi was good. The best player of the team. Also note Philippe Coutinho, who refreshed the game and brought the creative.
It is impossible not to distinguish Christian Stuani. Brilliant game and two goals. The real leader and leader of his team. As a result, we state that after the fifth round in Spain there was not a single team with a 100%. Valverde is absolutely right to rotate, but here he needs to find a balance. It is necessary to build a model in which doubles could be a painless substitute for leaders. Valverde had to do this a year ago, but, unfortunately, it is only now.
Real: uncertain, but with a taste of Kroos, Carvajal, Marcelo, Bale - the four most important players of Real Madrid got a break in the match against Hispaniola. Lopetegi is not afraid to rotate and it is commendable. Let's note the trainer's experiments. Ramos often found himself in midfield, Isco was freed from defensive functions, and Seballos was given more freedom. The structure has suffered, without it anywhere, but for trying to build something new, we put Lopetegi plus. The result will eventually be the maximum, and what else is needed?.
Yes, if you look at the big picture, then Real Madrid was bad that night. There was a lot of marriage, childish mistakes in the transfer and few moments. However, unlike Barcelona, ??"creamy" earned three points. At minimal cost. And without this, it is impossible to be successful at a distance. Real Madrid equaled on points with Barcelona - the second round of races begins right now.
Sevilla finally broke through Levante took a chance and was severely punished for it. "Frogs" felt that they could play Sevilla in open football. To this the guests answered with six goals. However, the first 10 minutes were great for the hosts and they had several real opportunities for scoring. Then it seemed that Sevilla will have great problems this evening. And even Ben Yedder's goal did not change the situation, after a few seconds, Roher restored parity.
However, in the second half of the first half, the "nerves" just played an exemplary game on counterattacks and scored three times. The fate of the match was solved. The second half was a formality, but the opponents did not quit playing and pleased with three more goals. True, the audience on Ciudad de Valencia was not very happy about what is happening.
As for the personalities, we will not be original, saying that all the players of Seville deserve praise, but especially want to highlight Ben Yedder, Andre Silva, Pablo Sarabia and Tomas Vaclic. Sarabia managed to score and give out three assists, Ben Yedder recorded a hat-trick on his account, showing the real instinct of the killer, Silva scored once, but the rest of the time he played brilliantly in the podgryshi and participated in almost all attacks, and Vatzilik, except for the reflected penalty, as many as nine saves.
Champions League has helped Atletico Atletico has benefited the Champions League. "Mattress" failed in the championship, but in the Champions League have achieved an excellent strong-willed victory, after which came the Victoria and the championship. Under the hot hand hit Getafe. The hosts tried to play with Atletico on an equal footing, but to help the "Indians" for the first time in the season came the newcomer Tom Lemar.
The Frenchman at first unbelievably struck from outside the penalty area to the crossbar, which led to Soria's own goal, and in the second half he easily realized a one-on-one exit after a brilliant pass from Koke. Well, the removal of Ivan Alekho only summed up the line under the performances of Getafe this evening. Alejo, by the way, spent on the field only four minutes after the replacement. Removal - for the straight leg that flew to Saul. Atletico drew the player, but Ivan does not need to search for the guilty - he should only blame himself.
And for a snack an amazing statistical fact. Not scoring at the gates of Atletico in this round, Getafe brought his goalless series in matches against this team to 15 matches. The last time "city" was hammered into the gate "mattress" in 2011. The mind is incomprehensible.
Pique Valencia Valencia and Villarreal were the best teams Examples last season, except for the top three grandees, but this year, both teams are only disappointing. Villarreal looked a little better than Valencia and was a little closer to the goal until the removal of Parejo. Yes, yes, it was after the removal of his captain "bats" played better. The case where punishment is beneficial to the collective.
Of an important note, Gedesh's exit to the right, and not to the left, and recovery from a serious injury by Francis Coquelin. It was such events that gave us a match, which for many was one of the most intriguing in the tour.
After this draw it became known that Valencia showed the worst start of the La Liga season in the 21st century. The last time the team started in the national championship with five matches without wins in the season 1999/2000. Contrast improbable. Last season, "Los Ches" were champions among equals, and in this they fail everything that can be done. Incredibly steep peak.
One line:.
Nothing foreshadowed troubles for Selta in a home match against Valladolid, but it happened. The team, which before that match did not score in the Example, managed to ship three "Celts" in Balaidos, having recouped from the account 1: 3 (!). After the second missed goal the hosts finally lost control in the game, which led to the third goal of the opponent's goal. In such matches, losing points is a huge luxury, and in the Selta it is perfectly understood.
Lunin again did not play, Leganes again lost. This is the reality for our young talent, which in the foreseeable future should become the first number of the Ukrainian national team. But without the game practice, this is not achieved, and her Andrew is not in a hurry to provide. In this round, "pepineros" on the road to a minimum lost to Eibar. The "weapons-masters" were stronger and had to score more.
Rayo was unexpectedly destroyed in his field by Alaves. "Foxes" were higher in the standings, but to see such a huge advantage on the field is unlikely to be expected by anyone. It is clear that the hosts were disbanded after the removal of Abdoulaye Ba, but by that time the guests were winning with a score of 2: 1. The second half was a real execution, and the executioners were Ibay Gomes and the campaign. And now look in the standings and try to find Alaves. Just do not do it as usual from the bottom - there you "foxes" will not see.
Sociedad in this round made a real feat. Basques managed to keep the victory, although from the 71st minute they played in the minority, and with the 82nd - in general vdvyaterom. Hueske with such a game does not shine anything good - the owners could not take advantage of even such a numerical advantage. And this is in his field with the support of fans.
Betis managed to pull out in his field at Athletic. Basques shocked the "white-green" quick start and by the 20 th minute the score was 2: 0 in their favor. Then Bethis was helped by Marcel Susaeta, who retired before the break. In the second half, Betis twice realized the advantage and could snatch victory, but the draw was a more natural result.
