Top teams falter
Valencia win at Bernabeu
Valencia won their match against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu with the scoreline of 1-2. Looks like Valencia scored from a freekick and a Penalty. Real Madrid were able to get a goal back with the Raul and Roberto carlos combination from a free throw.As usual the penalty granted to valencia created a controversy with the real faithful's claiming that the ball did hit Ramos only at his elbows and that too it was not a purposeful one. I didn't get a chance to look at it and so I dont want to comment on it. But what is disheartening is two of the Real Madrid players Gravesen and Beckham were sent off. Beckham who is the proud captain of England team with loads of experience was given a second yellow card for sarcastically applauding the referee's decision. Its identical to the way in which Rooney got his sent off during an International match and at that time Beckham said that Rooney should try to keep his cool and control his temper. I think the same applies to Becks also.I know its not that easy to control ones temper when he is frustrated and especially the team is trailing by a goal.Its during these times that one should keep his cool and use his talents for raising the spirit of the team and that is the difference I beleive between a good and a great player.As of now Real currently are without Ronaldo, Baptista, Salgado, Becks and Gravesen for the next away match at Deportiva la coruna.
Everton 1 - 1 Chelsea
Chelsea's impressive nine game winning streak was halted by everton when the David Moyes's team held on to their defenses not letting the champion team get a goal.As always there were complaints from both the coaches about the referees. Jose Mourinho complained that the Drogba goal wasn't offside whereas Moyes said that the Hand ball appeal against Terry should have been given.One cannot conclude that Chelsea might be depressed with the loss with such a wonderful team and a determined coach in Mourinho, but could this be considered Everton's come back, atleast I hope so.
It was a weekend where Real Madrid lost a match and even chelsea couldn't salvage a draw. Losing so many of the players I dont expect Real to win against Deportiva , But I would like to see them bounce back and provide some exciting soccer action. As for chelsea it is just one off match and Mourinho would have set his sights for a thunderous victory in next match.
