The Real Madrid could not begin worse the most decisive week of what goes of season. The whites measured to the Manchester City this past Wednesday in Santiago Bernabéu and fell with all the team. The English were better, had many more opportunities of goal and finished winning by 1-2. The result leaves to the merengues very touched of face to the turn and to the Classical of this Sunday against the FC Barcelona.
The ones of Zinedine Zidane almost will not have time to digest this defeat before receiving to the Barcelona in his stadium. A stadium that, by the way, visited Quique Setién this Wednesday to see in direct to the Madrid against the City. As they explained different media, the trainer barcelonista displaced beside Eder Sarabia, his second, to analyse in person to the that will be his rival of this Sunday in LaLiga.
The Cantabrian technician is a big studious of the football, the same that Sarabia, and safe that took good note of the approach with which Pep Guardiola surpassed to the madridistas. The one of Santpedor drowned to the merengues backwards with a very high and insistent pressure and knew to dominate with balloon when it could do it and hurt without him when the whites had the possession. The santanderino does not be used to to deliver never the ball, but could take aim of what has to do if the Madrid removes it to him in determinate phases of the party.
The group of Concha Spine had more the balloon that the 'cityzens' in a lot of phases of the crash and, in fact, to the rest arrived with more possession. Zidane took out four midfield players, the same that did Setién in front of the Naples, that is what allowed him argue him the spherical to the team of Guardiola. This Sunday sucederá the same, by what Setién has to plan something in case his do not have so much the ball as they accustom from his arrival.
Setién Saw with Guardiola in the hotel of the City
After witnessing the defeat of the Madrid, seems that the ex of the Betis and his assistant went to the hotel where lodges the Manchester City. There, as it aimed Mónica Marchante in 'The Partidazo of COPE', the Barcelona saw with Guardiola, with the one who was chatting a while. Perhaps, the santanderino asked him council to win to the merengues in the Classical of this Sunday. The Catalan is all an expert in winning to the madridistas and could teach him a lot of things.
Although the Barça does not arrive especially well of form, yes has better feelings that a Madrid that has a foot and half out of the Champions after falling this Wednesday. The Catalans have to take advantage of the bad moment of the Madrilenian to give a hit on of the table and leave LaLiga encarrilada. A victory in the Bernabéu would suppose to leave to the whites to five points, an important distance that very carried could be decisive.
