Barcelona Academy of drama and theatre hailed by Jose Mourinho
Santiago Bernabeu is experiencing a severe heat wave owing to the occupants and players of their football stadium, though their boss contributes largely to the increase in temperature.
The Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, is still fuming with anger from his last encounter against their bitter rivals, Barcelona.
The defending champions of La Liga managed to produce yet another controversial El Classico, as the two Spanish footballing giants went head to head in their first leg bout of Champions League. Their Copa del Rey encounter had provided much entertainment
owing to its intensity but a very different affair was seen in the European level of the clash.
The former manager of Porto went all guns blazing before, between and after the match against the match referees, and, Catalan manager, Pep Guardiola. He has blamed the drama and diving antics of Guardiola for starting this latest war of words.
Not to be the devil’s advocate but Mourinho’s allegations this time round are quite true. No matter how many press releases and responses are presented by the Barcelona board and officials, a picture does end up saying 1000 words and is a way better description
of an event.
Lucky for Los Blancos, they have evidence from the match to remind the Catalans over and over again about their cheap tactics.
In the match at Bernabeu, it wasn’t world class striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who had dirt marks over his shirt from landing on the green. By the last whistle of the match referee roles had been reversed, as it were men in Blue and Red, who were missing a
pair of goggles, flippers and snorkels, for diving of course.
Pedro Rodriguez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 all contributed majorly to the on-field fiasco. Pedro was falling onto the ground like a dead fly by bumping randomly into players on field, while the hated Busquets were using his infamous
face-slapped act to grab referees attention.
Javier Mascherano, on the other hand, was refraining from using his brutal tackles, rather becoming an unworthy victim, as Dani Alves, flew off the pitch from tackles that hadn’t even made contact with him.
All this would have been enough to enrage any manager in the world so no surprise came when Mourinho was given a red card and escorted to the stands.
Barcelona are not the only club, who are on suing grounds after the match. Though the Catalans want to sue Jose Mourinho for his rant on-field, Real Madrid’s board plans to take La Blaugrana to court for “unsportsmanlike behaviour”.
Clubs officials from Bernabeu have complained that “simulated aggressions”, from Barcelona players resulted in “unjust sending off”, clearly referring to the case of Portuguese defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670.
It seems like Madrid will once again be challenging Barca head on before the next El Classico. Their board has already declared full support for Mourinho rebuking Catalan terminology of stating facts by articulating Mourinho’s actions as “exercising his
right to free expression”.
