August was a trap month for Madrid. With only fifteen training, I had to compete, and seen the level of Barcelona During the last season, every point of this league that escapes through the sink can be decisive in the final outcome. So, even if the legs were not shot and the shooting chain needed, and still need, to be more greased, the white team was obliged to win Osasuna and Mallorca in the Bernabéu, and do the same in the tartere against Oviedo. And that has done. Three of three in terms of victories, and nine of nine at the score. Quiet break for Madrid and two more weeks for the team to take flight.

«We have had a good good reaction after hydration pause. We have revealed ourselves to the only one that had come to us and we have continued to insist to turn it around. We have achieved it and then we have worked the game even though we have had to suffer after not having that margin that would have given us the goal of Collar», Said Xabi Alonso after a victory founded in the cooling break of the first half:« In that break I have said that we had to adjust the pressure and the second ball. We were far and we couldn’t drown them when they took out the ball, ”Alonso explained.

The victory of Madrid did not lack the salsa of the controversy. Three canceled goals and the anger of Bernabéu according to Sánchez Martínez invalidated the many. Above all, the Arda: «We talked a few days ago with the referees in Valdebebas and the rule is that, if the player who scores the goal he plays before with his hand, it is not a goal. And if it has been so, there is no goal. But there is no problem, we have won and that is the important thing, ”said Tchouaméni. “For me that hand should never be hand, but the norm is like this and it is rare, but however involuntary it is, you have to whistle,” Darder said. «I have told the room that had to be immediately played and the interpretation made by the referee is different. That goal would have been good for us, but he is the one who commands and today has touched, ”said Xabi.

It was not the only arbitration action that the Tolosarra coach spoke. Neither Jagoba. Both coaches showed their surprise for what happened in Mendizorrozawhere Atlético scored a goal in a clear offside that the VAR did not detect: «I was surprised. They are mistakes of those that should not happen, ”said Alonso. «Mendizorroza has been very clear. I understand that the field referee does not see it, but that in the VAR they have not corrected him … », said razate.
