Real Madrid played sunday a sad pre-season debut at the Santiago Bernabéu for the 1-1 tie with the modest Al-Ittihad Arabic, by the football betting Peace Cup, where the star Cristiano Ronaldo unnoticed.
Right from the beginning to be realized after a discouraging climate regarding expectations of the organizers and supporters of several of Real Madrid. Provided only about 20 thousand people, according to the dimensions of the Santiago Bernabéu, knew a little.
Still, the figure of Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the few able to wrest power ovations during the night, both at the start of pre-warming party, which entered the field in last place and unleashed the first cries of the day, as when he played the first ball of the match, a few seconds of initiation.
The Portuguese was uncomfortable throughout the first stage. Each intervention of the Portuguese out certain luxuries cloud capable of connecting to the game. In this way, enhance the applause from the stands, but was kept passive offensive.
Meanwhile, coach Manuel Pellegrini was trying to move around the flank attack. Ronaldo started the match on the left wing, but only in the first half walked through the center of the offensive and on the right. Its position changes with Wesley Sneijder was a constant game.
Karim Benzema itself, which also premiered at the club's white, emerged as its main partner in the attacks, but the former Manchester United player was still unable to deploy their game.
In the absence of seven minutes to rest, the Portuguese had a clear position to open the account, but was brought down inside the area and the referee opted to let Michael Koukoulakis run the game. The first part ended and the great star of the evening was with a debut in the Bernabeu too irregular.
About the beginning of the second half, Pellegrini decided to remove only the Argentine Ezequiel Garay, who was replaced by the youthful Augustine Garcia. However, Real Madrid had a parsimony in the game according to the environment.
Cristiano Ronaldo just highlighted with three appearances and sporadic, with the passage of minutes, it started to digest their departure from the party. Then, Pellegrini decided to replace the 66 minutes by the Argentine Gonzalo Higuaín and the audience dismissed him with some absolutely opposed to the applause of welcome. "Oh shit debut," exclaimed an indignant plateísta.
Also, the goal from Raul, the 56 minutes, hardly allowed him to relax to homeowners, as Hicham Aboucherouane, so clever as selfish, decreed equality, eight minutes.
Thus, Pellegrini decided to move the bench in the last 15 minutes and gave rise to 'old friends' of the house. Guti came on the scene, while Esteban Granero, who contested his first game after the experience in Getafe, was the only core where people name. The public display of the Real Madrid seemed that, apart from money transfers and "Stratospheric" is maintained by an unconditional love canteranos.
The "New" Real Madrid played a premiere at the Santiago Bernabeu too warm. Star Cristiano Ronaldo was kept away from the event and the image he left the Spanish team worried even the most optimistic.
The Spanish club's next bet game is next Tuesday against Liga Universitaria de Quito, which will close and the Group B contest.
