There are so many "guilty" of newsprint Real Madrid against Barcelona at the Bernabeu on Saturday, it seems one of those lines that the police suspected of movies presented for victims identify the offender: a mix of drunks, criminals and detectives, one fat, one thin, the high and the low, all meaner look.
And like so many faces in the line leading hangman, poor old lady assaulted make you want to cry. "Everyone, Commissioner, all these stole my wallet"
A large segment of the hobby and many commentators tell us that the main culprit was the coach Rafael Benitez, for "betraying" his personal conviction, that is cautious, and bet on the favorite align offensive team leaders ... and also the fans .
Another view says "the lack of attitude and commitment" of the team in general or at least several important players, a cardinal sin in a club that is rightly proud of their fighting spirit.
Also, of course, there are those who point to the ultimate responsibility of club president Florentino Perez, a very successful businessman accustomed to impose their will and often buy and sell players and outbursts and prestigious commercial considerations rather than the needs sports that will raise their coaches.
(These whims take him to hire James Rodriguez, great player who did not need but was a great success, but also to make the mistake of rejecting Ronaldinho, supposedly for their "physical ugliness", instead buying the handsome David Beckham .)
Florentino Perez has some megalomaniac little air that leads him to always want the best, or most expensive, which for him is the same. If I were a musical entrepreneur, all the instruments in his orchestra would pianos; and not of any brand but Bösenforder or Steinway.
The problem is that the orchestra also need other instruments, less grandiose: we need violins, flutes, horns, until some castanets ...
Technically, players and president are suspected, judging by the audience reaction at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and the flood of columns, blogs, tweets and radio and TV programs that have addressed the issue.
For guidance should examine each particular category.
Rafael Benitez is known for his obsession with balance, both tactically and in matters of discipline and organization. At first glance there is nothing negative in this preference, but what some interpret as a search for balance as others say caution and penchant for defensive planteos, and this is said with insulting mood.
It is said that the technical renounced the men who had given the desired balance (Casemiro, or maybe Jesse Lucas Vázquez) and to align "the favorite of the president" not only betrayed his professional conviction but also those players.
Some commentators justify the choice, saying that for the first time in a while Benitez had all their staff, since nursing was empty and had been working with almost all its players during the international break, unlike his opponent on Saturday: this will I would have given confidence to pose a bolder, who asked the President and CR7 and Sergio Ramos, among others the locker room.
This boldness imposed a high proportion of ball control, good communication lines and a pressure well above the adversary. These men had shown they could do that ... but unfortunately in different circumstances.
The problem is that Cristiano Ronaldo, either because they do not understand or do not like the position 9 or hate waiting for balls back to goal, or because you are too tired, or you want to go to Man United and PSG, or because He is upset with President (who prefers Bale), or because it violates the technician, or this is not the CR7 before.
And it also happens that Gareth Bale plays (when playing, because usually injured or uninterested) where you want it but not where it should play, with the result that their contribution is not very productive.
And do not forget that Karin Benzema, another set of pressure, is accused of complicity in a nasty case of extortion of a fellow national team, which could cost the prison: in these circumstances it is not surprising that he was lost in the field.
And James has not yet regained his best form after a long absence; and Toni Kroos is off, and Luka Modric puzzled, and Danilo is a ghost, and Ramos plays infiltrated ... and Keylor Navas, the decisive man of good initial campaign, this time left to spend four cucumbers.
All this points equally to the players and Rafael Benitez in the line of suspects: they were guilty of incompetence, or overconfidence or at least underestimated the power of the adversary, who was playing well, yes, but against rivals minor and not count fully with their talisman, Lionel Messi, whose recovery was in doubt.
They met, however, with a well-oiled machine by coach Luis Enrique, whose self-confidence is a show after the treble, and also good luck harmony between Messi, Suarez and Neymar ("it's amazing that these three monsters can live so well, "said Diego Simeone), has an excellent Iniesta, Alves a good, solid Busquets and even the consecration of another squad, Sergi Roberto, 23.
Also, and this should already much trouble the leaders meringues, is the finding that the Barcelona is getting used to win at the Santiago Bernabeu ... and win by a landslide. Echoes of the ball, a site analysis and frequented by surfers comments, called his comment "0-4, Barca in their favorite stadium."
It is likely that President Perez Benitez support for now (to dismiss him now would be admitting he was wrong to dismiss Carlo Ancelotti), but in pañolada and the boos he received from fans on Saturday, was a clear warning.
Not that its stability is at risk: between elected leaders, who do not own their clubs, Florentino Perez is the safest, virtually irreplaceable.
It happens that the new statutes of the club (approved by the membership during its previous management), requires candidates for president have 20 years as partners (previously 10) and endorses his own fortune (certified by a bank) up to 15% of the annual budget of the club. Can you imagine how rich one must be to give that guarantee?
It takes at least 88 million euros as collateral, deposited in a bank, that is immobilized. Before the endorsement was less stringent and burdensome requirements.
Florentino Perez was the only candidate who ran for election in 2013, since due to the introduction of these changes could not do candidates as Vicente Boluda, Eugenio Martinez Bravo or Borja Martinez-Laredo.
Justice must be issued on Wednesday on the legality of these requirements, at the request of members of Real Madrid.
