Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijon: unlucky Real Madrid players?

April 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Jose Mourhino's roll has finished. After having played 150 home games and never lost one, Sporting Gijon won the match against Mourhino's men last Saturday, 3th April.  

Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijon match was visited by a highly beloved former player of Real Madrid. Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima, who has gained a lot of weight, paid his former Spanish team a visit. In exchange, he was given tribute by the two team captains and Madrid chiefs Florentino Perez and Jorge Valdano before the kick-off. Real Madrid crowd was happy and felt grateful to Ronaldo, so they welcomed the Brazilian player as he deserved.

Ronaldo left the club in January of 2007 after four and a half seasons with Real Madrid. Nevertheless, after five years, he has never forgotten the years he spent in Madrid and his passion for Madridismo is still alive and well today.

Santiago Bernabeu enjoyed Ronaldo's visit, but, unfortunately, could not enjoy the other Ronaldo's game. Cristiano was not still recovered from his hamstring injury and once again had to miss a match. Other injured players who couldm't play were Benzema and Marcelo. Moreover, Xabi Alonso missed the match because of suspension. Therefore, the lack of Real Madrid's creativity was noticeable against a team that defended fiercely and didn't attack. The only creative player left in the pitch was Ozil.

The Sporting Gijon player Miguel de las Cuevas scored the first and only goal of the match at minute 12. Real Madrid was not able to score any goals and lost the Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijon at Santiago Bernabeu with a 1-0.

Real Madrid players didn't succeed in scoring any goals despite the many chances they had one, two, three, four and five metres away from target. Were they unlucky?

Anyway, after such an undeserved defeat, Real Madrid didn't surrender and soon went back to work to prepare for the Champions League tonight's 20:45 CET match against Tottenham Hotpsur at Valdebebas behind closed doors.

Ronaldo, their special guest, said the Spanish team is his favorite to win the tie against Tottenham. Even though, the competition will not be easy because that Tottenham is a tough rival, he thinks the Spanish team will defeat them. Why? Because they count on a great coach, the talent of Cristiano Ronaldo and the style of Benzema which reminds him of his own style.

Do you agree with Ronaldo? Is Tottenham going to lose tonight?
