Osasuna in the final countdown of El Clasico

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! This is one of the weekends when tradition mixes with football, and when I have crossed feelings for the match of Osasuna.F.C. Barcelona is running of time to catch the first team in La Liga to win the championship. Overall, the home team must show their skills and power to defeat a minor team like Osasuna, but as they lost in Zorrilla last weekend, Osasuna can get another surprise!

Gracia's players don't have anything to lose in this game and moreover, they have to struggle to get a point as they have lost their last two games in La Liga, one away, in Valencia against Levante(2-0) and at El Sadar against Málaga (0-2). Therefore, the relegation posts are closer than two weeks ago and the season is dying out. It is true that Osasuna were unlucky in their last match against Malaga, with a lot of failed occasions near the goal.

Nevertheless, Osasuna is still a weak team at home and they missed a good opportunity to reach a comfortable post in La Liga. As always, our team must get used to struggling for a position in First Division from now to the end of the season. There is always a place for surprise at El Camp Nou, as it happened on 23th May 2.009, when Osasuna won with Pandiani's goal and also the last draw at El Sadar (0-0) gives hope to the team for a good result in this visit to Barcelona.

On the other hand, Martino and his men have been on the spot for a week after their defeat in Valladolid and the anxiety to win against Manchester City in the Champions League. Besides, there are many issues in the club of Les Corts that players get distracted: Messi's injures or health problems, Neymar's court issues, Pujol, Iniesta, Valdes,...all these things are more important in the city, even more than the Nationalism Issue, than the match aginst Osasuna.
Another issue is El Clasico, the match against Ancelotti's team, which will be played next Sunday and when most people think that La Liga will be won or lost. Anyway, the team from La Castellana did their homework last night against Malaga, but Barcelona's players must be willing to satisfy their supporters and park their confrontations with their coach, Martino. However, it is expected to have the well-known "rotations" before "the match of the year": Bartra for Piqué, Montoya for Alves, Xavi for Cesc, etc...But Osasuna's coach would like to have those doubts for his kickoff list!

Kickoff lists:
Barcelona: Valdes; Montoya, Bartra, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Cesc; Pedro, Messi and Neymar.
At. Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Oier Sanjurjo, Loties, Arribas, Damiá; Silva, Lolo; Cejudo, Torres, Armenteros; Oriol Riera.
GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!

Osasuna-Barça, an unbias confrontation

 


Good afternoon, dear Osasunists!
Lionel Messi and Carles Puyol are the main characters for the match this evening. One is a star himself as he is considered the best football player in the world. The Catalonian Carles Puyol is as important as Messi not only for his quality in the defence of Barcelona goal but also for his symbolizing role inside and outside the pitch. It is definitely one of the best news for Martino to confront their next games in La Liga and in Champions League.
After seven months without playing, Puyi is back to a pitch and Messi  podrá volver a jugar con el Barcelona en el partido del sábado contra Osasuna por la liga española de fútbol, en el que el técnico after the game against Almeria.

The leader is visiting El Sadar to break a record of nine victories in a row that Real Madrid got when tv's were in black and white in 1968-69. Osasuna might fish in a week that Barça has to play against Milan in the Champions and against Real Madrid next Saturday at the Camp Nou. Therefore, even when the coach says that they must think of each game, players might be thinking in higher confrontations.
Osasuna must follow Barça's coach's comments that "they are very competitive and after their last game against Malaga showed they can change a weak situation".
Posible kickoff teams:
A. Osasuna: Andrés Fernández, Marc Bertran, Loties, Arribas, Damiá, Lolo, F. Silva, De las Cuevas, Armenteros, Sisi, Oriol Riera.
FC Barcelona: Valdés, Montoya, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Cesc Fábregas, Neymar.

GORA OSASUNA!AUPA ROJILLOS!

Osasuna-Real Madrid, the scary match

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists!

This evening is the D day for many Osasuna supporters as one of our hatred teams, Real Madrid, is visiting our fortress: EL SADAR! We expect to watch the third victory at our stadium!

Osasuna is not that strong team that used to be in their stadium, now that everybody renames it as EL SADAR. Even away from their stadium the results are negative and the good expectations Osasuna got in November became a nightmare in December and continue with the first game in 2013 against Sevilla F.C. Osasuna is the last in the classification with five defeats out of the last six games.

The last game that ended with a victory at El Sadar was on December 2, it was against the surprising Rayo (1-0). Since then, there are many doubts in Mendilibar's team and decissions and there is more about miracles than good game. There is lack of efectiveness towards the goal and messy football, though we sometimes have to blame some referees' decissions to avoid a better result for Osasuna.

The figures in Osasuna are low: it is the team with the least scored goals in La Liga, though Andres Fernandez, their goalkeeper, is one of the best in this season too. Osasuna players have only scored 14 goals in 18 games. 

On the other hand, Real Madrid F.C. is an irregular team when they are visitors. Mou's team won four games and lost three away games. They got a draw at the Camp Nou, the invictus team in La Liga.
 
There are many abscences in both teams, but we mustn't compare the differences between teams. Mendilibar can't use the injured Sisi, Riesgo or Masoud. The Basque coach has to add Annan, who is playing The Africa Cup and Nano, Torres ( I don't agree ), Onwu and Lamah ( who is said to be about to leave towards the Premier ) are out due to technical decisions.

We must remember that the winter market is open and Osasuna used to incorporate an ex-goalkeeper, Ricardo, and this week De Las Cuevas, from GIjon, signed for Osasuna. The first one will be on the bench as the second goalkeeper and the midfielder can have an opportunity to show his abilities.

Real Madrid and other teams always point out the visit to Pamplona as one of the most difficult places to play. The size of the stadium and the untiring supporting chants of the audience must be two in-favour marks for Osasuna. Mou started complaining that he can't use thre key players in his team: Pepe and Ramos, as defenders, two of the most violent and disgusting players in my opinion who should be banned from the stadiums all over the world.

Besides, the most brilliant player, after Leo Messi, of course, is also absent at EL SADAR. He is scared of listening our hatring chants and our rhymes saying the true about his poor game at EL Sadar. He is arrogant, a showoff person and rude: HE IS CRISTIANO RONALDO. To be honest with him, he has saved his coach's throat in the last two games against Real Sociedad and in La Copa del Rey against Celta.

Mou has to use his SECOND GOALKEEPER: IKER CASILLAS. Yes, he is considered unfit by the Portuguese coach and it is said that the relationship between both people is absolutely broken. It is incredible that daddy Florentino Perez don't use his powerful decissions to take over Mou and substitute him for another real Real Madrid lover! But I suppose the money he has to pay for a dismiss is scandalous.

The scandal is the amount of points Barça is ahead the most hatred rival: 16 points. And Mou decided to take it for granted that they can't win this Liga, therefore his goals are the Champions and Copa del Rey. So, perhaps it is a good opportunity for Osasuna to ge a fantastic victory.


GORA OSASUNA!AUPA ROJILLOS!

Probable kickoff:
Osasuna: Andrés; Marc, Arribas, Flaño, Damiá; Puñal, Oier , Cejudo, Armenteros; Nino; and Sola.
Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Varane, Carvalho, Marcelo; Khedira, Alonso, Callejón, Özil; Higuaín or Di María and Benzema.

Osasuna-Barça, a game in the fog

Good evening, dear Osasunists and Happy New Year for all! Tonight, if the weather forecast let us watch it, we can enjoy the second leg of the 1/8 round of La Copa del Rey at the El Sadar stadium ( you know I don't like the other name and I think the sponsorship is over now??? ). I know it is the third game Osasuna play in this New Year 2012. And there is for everyone! Good news in La Liga- Osasuna is still in European positions after the draw against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian-Donosti last weekend. But, on the other hand, the first leg of tonight's match was a complete disappointing moment for all us, as Barça players defeated Osasuna's very clearly on the 4th January at Nou Camp stadium. There were two players, Cesc and Messi, who ruined our expectations for a competing game in Pamplona. Osasuna didn't play badly that night. It is true they didn't disturb or get Valdes into trouble, but they made the victory of Barça difficult and a shorter result could have made Guardiola think of using his best team in Pamplona. But it is complicated now as last week result ( 4-0 ) makes impossible or a miracle to reach 1/4 final legs. There are two main attractive points to "watch" the game. First, we'll try to distinguish players in the fog, if it lets the game start. At the time I'm writing the article, it seems the game will be played. The second attraction is the young players who will play it. There will be players from the "cantera" teams in both sides. That is something I will always support and I critized from previous coaches. I heard on the radio that it was in Ziganda's time the last time that there were so many players from Navarra in the kickoff team. This is one of my topics for this article, apart from the match itself, of course. It was last Saturday, on the 7th January, in the papers: Michael Robinson signed for Osasuna! That was 25 years ago, but apart from Jan Urban, Michael was the best foreign footballer who has ever played for Osasuna. That must be the club policy for the search and seek of players for Osasuna. If there are similar players in the club as in the market we should support our young players. It is a waste of time and money, overall, and it disappoints us, the supporters. I understand Mendilibar's plans. La Liga is more important now, and it is not an idea of disliking La Copa, but at the same time he may see other future players in a competitive game. He will need Andrés, Sergio, Timor, Ibra or Nino for the game on Sunday against Santander. There are also some injured players: Echaide, Rubén, Rovérsio, Damià, Raitala, Masoud or Kike Sola ( a lot, by the way ). Besides, Satrustegi and Roberto Torres are almost of the main team, and it is a good moment to see the new gig of Osasuna: Raoul Cedric Loe. Pep Guardiola, the best coach in the world, is also more worried about La Liga, overall after the draw in Barcelona in the derby against Espanyol. So he left in that capital some good players like Iniesta, Valdes or Alves, and it is almost impossible to see Messi, Xavi or Cesc in his kickoff team. CA Osasuna: Riesgo; Marc Bertrán, Lolo, Miguel Flaño, Satrustegi; Puñal, Raoul; Álvaro Cejudo, Roberto Torres, Calleja; and Leka. FC Barcelona: Pinto; Montoya, Mascherano, Piqué, Abidal; Thiago, Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto; Isaac Cuenca, Cesc Fàbregas and Pedro.

Leo Messi's biography

Leo messi was born in argentina in 1987 he is one of the youngest and promising players nowadays inside the world football .In spite of his short age ,Leo Messi has a strong media repercussion accompanied by the practical unanimity of he critical speciality with regard to his exceptional quality .

It began his career in the low categories of the Newell's Old boys , but soon at the age of 13 he had leave Argentina for problems of health (hormones of the growth ) accepting an offer of the F.C.Barcelona that took charge of the costs of his treatment .

¨El Messias¨ .This way is like a great part of the fans refer to Lionel Messi , for many the best football player of the planet

Real Mandril vs. F.C.Barcelona, a different game in Europe

Good morning, everyone!You know most of my articles are about English culture worldwide and many other articles are about football and my favourite team: C.A. Osasuna. But, at least, twice a year I always write about another traditional confrontation in the Spanish League: Barça-Madrid and reverse.

I had a look to my previous articles and I realized that this derby was on 29th November last year. Therefore, there is another tradition that this game must be played before Christmas.

There are some differences from last year. First, I must say that the team from the capital of Spain is ahead in the classification ( 6 points and 1 less match played, due to El Mundialito ). That should be a handicap for Barça.

Besides, I have to congratulate Mou for his behaviour's change. It's said that the chairman of the club, Florentino Perez, conditioned his support to Mourinho with the promise of more politeness and education in his public interviews and comments. He accomplished, but he is still a bit arrogant and he didn't confront the international media press in the previous hours to the match and Karanka, the second coach, answer the questions.

I still have to honour Guardiola and Barça, because they still play a great football with the same team structure for the last four years, while Real Madril have changed their team structure during the same number of years. Even when they are below their rivals they still keep their speech and talk with education about the players and coaches of the white club team.
I hope at the end of the match tonight the difference between both teams was narrow, so I desire that Barça win.
Gora Barça!Aupa Guardiola!
