Sevilla 4-3 Real MIERDA: “The better team won”

By: Anthony | December 7th, 2008

Dispite all the referee’s bias with his pro-Madrid, horrible calls, the better team still won proving that justice always prevails.

A total sidenote here for all viewers watching in North America on GolTV… Ray Hudson can take his CLEARLY OBVIOUS bias “Real can do no wrong” bullshit somewhere else. FUCK YOU RAY HUDSON, FUCK YOU. The better team won.

Rant over, back to the match.

We started brilliantly with Adriano scoring in the 3rd minute off a Casillas error from a perfect Navas cross. Real however managed to pull one back by of course getting a call that wasn’t correct and Guti set up Raúl to even the match at 1-1. It wasn’t long however before we started showing just how much better we are than Real. Navas exploited Marcelo’s lack of pace down the right flank and forced the Real man to come in hard and take out his legs. From the ensuing freekick, Renato hit perfectly weighted ball into the middle and dispite Gago trying to gain the advantage through some dirty play in the box, Romaric rose to the task, and headed it beyond the reach of Casillas. But the siege wasn’t over yet as Navarro burst up the left wing, put in a low cross only for Renato to strike it well but hit the two Real centrebacks and eventually bounce to Kanouté who slotted it away with ease in the bottom right corner, Casillas didn’t even move. So we went into the half with a 3-1 lead and not only that, but we absolutely dominated the first half. The second half however, started out a total different story. Los Blancos came out flying and eventually cracked our solid defence when Higuaín hit a cracker into the bottom left corner out of Palop’s reach. After that goal we just became de-moralised and really weren’t looking like the same Sevilla side that was present in the first 45, and as a result of this (combined with another horrible call) Gago was able to get on the end of a Guti setpiece and level the match at 3-3. The euphoria only lasted eight minutes however as Robben got his second yellow which resulted in a red and a sending off which now meant we were one man up and looking to turn the game around. To be quite honest I don’t agree with the call nor know what it was for but to be frank, I don’t care, Real were getting a bunch of rediculous calls all day and for one to finally go our way was refreshing to say the least. In the 85th minute Kanouté led the counter-attack, ran down Navas’ right flank, crossed the ball into the 6-yard box where Renato pounced and headed it perfectly past Casillas.

What bothers me is, why is Kanouté the one putting in the crosses? Why aren’t we getting that kind of service from Capel, Adriano, and Navas? If we could get better crosses in from the flanks Kanouté would have field day, he’d love it, I mean he towers over most defenders anyway, we really should be scoring more that way.

This game made me realise something today… Victory against Real feels amazing. Why you may ask? Well it’s like this. There are so many glory hunters in this world we live in, one of them just happens to be the commentator for the match, and the ref, and both linesmen. Dispite getting the benefit of the doubt 99% of the time Real was still beaten by Sevilla, yes, that small team from Andalucía, and this is why victory tastes that much sweeter.

This epic victory allows us to leapfrog Real into that fourth and final Champions League spot where we sit with 27 points, and only behind Valencia because of a worse goal differential. Next week we play Villarreal at home in which I see no reason we can’t come away with all three points. The yellow submarine are coming off a comeback 3-3 draw against Getafe in which they were down at one point 3-0 but thanks to some serious determination faught back to rescue a point. Won’t be easy by any means, but this victory against Real today will allow us to push on and do so.

PUTA CAPITAL
VAMOS MI SEVILLA
