Copa del Rey, Real Madrid Alcorcón eliminated

He completed the mother of all surprises, or not so much. Because Real Madrid have come to expect his followers to fall into the Second Cup tie against rival B, as it transpired last season against Real Union de Irun.

Now was the modest Alcorcón that has left the whites without Cup, accumulating for 17 years without winning the prized award. The 4-0 first-leg seemed to be difficult to overcome, after all Alcorcón is formed by a group of players who can play football and that if they were positioned well on the pitch, playing with calm and determination could save the heat.

And so it proved. Real Madrid has hit the yellow wall along the whole match, lacking ideas to overwhelm some semi firmly planted on the turf of a stadium that once got the "stage fright" in the body to rivals . It is no longer the case. During the first act had just been struggling Anquela men, now better known as "Anquelotti", taking the game very quietly.

The transition triggered by the locker room at Real Madrid just over the entrance of Van der Vaart, but not enough to reverse the heat. Alcorcón suffered more in the second half, saving the goal posts would have given some more excitement to the game. Only Van der Vaart managed to break the resistance of incommensurate Juanma, goalkeeper of the yellow, with a goal ten minutes from time.

I understand that for white fans this result and this deletion is a bucket of cold water on the draft Florentino Perez. But football is healthy for the occurrence of these feats. Evidence that many times workers and eleven men can look forward to one of the biggest teams in the world, full of world class players, authentic cracks the ball. In conclusion shows that this is an extremely democratic sport where wins are not always rich.
