in case you missed it the Cristiano who? edition March 7, 2011
In case you missed it Racing de Santander vs. Real Madrid [2011-03-06, Liga jornada 27].
The fantastic game that Madrid played, especially in the first half, had everyone wondering does Madrid actually play better without Cristiano Ronaldo? Mesut Özil carried the team on his back (Marcas cover said it well ¡¡¡ÖOOHZIL!!! and check out that bufanda theyre promoting too) and helped Madrid to to patch up the huge offensive hole left by Cris.
ONE. Anytime you cross little kids with football players, something adorable is bound to happen. In this case, it was Emmanuel Adebayor and a little baby. Look at them! And if Marcelo were wearing white or green, I would have mistaken him for one of the kids.
TWO. Three is a pretty good number, no?
The first goal was my favorite of the night, as it came off a superb, seven-touch play: Xabi→Ozi→Benzema→Ozi→Adebayor→Ozi→Adebayor. Of course, it was celebrated with the obligatory head rubbing and Benzema jumping.
Xabi, Ozi and Karim once again teamed up for the second goal, but this time it was Ricky Carvalho (!!! as hes usually one of the more serious guys on the field) jumping on top. I loved how Marcelo and Pepe held their arms open and even left a space for him!
And in the third, it was Ángel di María breaking down the Racing defense, and once again Karim Benzema had a big finish, which he celebrated with a kiss and a fist pump.
THREE. A couple of guys being boss.
And as much as I love Sergio, lets leave the free kicks to Xabi and Mesut (and Cristiano, whens he around), ok?
FOUR. Álex Fernández made his official Real Madrid first team debut, coming in for Mesut in the 88th minute. What a lucky 18-year-old, no? And debuting on the day of Madrids founding! Álex is the sixth canterano to debut this season, after his teammates Juan Carlos (Deportivo), Pablo Sarabia (Auxerre), MFC (Zaragoza), and first teamers Antonio Adán (Auxerre) and David Mateos (Ajax).
After the game, he told El Larguero that he was a bit nervous at first, but seeing that everyone treated him as one more guy on the team, it quickly passed. Álex has been with Madrid since he was 13, coming over from Alcalá to join the Infantil A team. His brother older Nacho is his teammate on Castilla, although he hasnt debuted with the first team yet. Álex kept the shirt from his debut for his family. Fun fact: he wants to study physical education and journalism.
I love how he kept fooling around with his hair! He fits in well with this team in that sense, no?
FIVE. Seriously, how cute are our canteranos? Im happy for Álex, but a bit sad that we didnt get to see MFC in action. And once again, I am surprised by how tall he is. He looks like he had to bend over in half just fit in the bench area.
SIX. Meanwhile, the only man who can rival MFC Álvaro Borja Morata Martín in terms of big Bambi eyes, Mesut Özil, spent the minutes prior to the second half chatting with his former Werder Bremen teammate Markus Rosenberg. Ozi was probably thinking, finally, someone who understands me! as Sami is injured (I assume Rosenberg picked up some German during his time there).
SEVEN. If I were Samanta from Conexión Samanta, I would be saying, ¡por fa-vor, Xabi A-lon-so! right now. And Im sorry Raúl, but that jacket does not go with your suit.
EIGHT. Iker was quite boss at one point in the game, literally, as he was screaming directions.
He once again showed that hes one of the best stoppers in the game, with the penalty save (although to be fair, it was a very weak effort). I love the manly hug and chest/back slap that Pepe gave Iker in celebration of the save.
The last time Iker made a penalty save in a Liga game was all the way back in the 2008-09 season, when he denied Casquero of Getafe in jornada 32.
By the way, didnt Iker look like he was sort of playing for Racing, as his green kit matched them better than it did Madrid? And what happened to the green socks?
NINE. Speaking of Iker, did you notice that he took off his shorts and tossed them into the crowd as he made his way into the tunnel at the half? I did. But thats not a surprise, is it. Stupid biker shorts. Remember that one time several years ago when he did the same thing, and was only wearing briefs underneath? The good old days
Also, how cute is Racings mascot Tula? Shes a cow (dont get the connection to the club, pero bueno) who walks on two feet. I still like Mallorcas Dimonió, because he always manages to interact with the opposition players.
Thoughts on what a good mascot for Madrid would be? And dont say Sergio Canales.
TEN. I loved those moments when Mou called his players over to confer with them, especially how he put his arm behind Marcelos neck and pulled him in, and then El Pirata did the same to him. Mou was upset with Marcelo, because it was his lost ball that led to the penalty in favor of Racing.
