SPANISH SUPER CUP 2008 1º LEG: VALENCIA DEFEATS REAL MADRID

The Spanish Football season for 2008/2009 kicked off tonight with the
winner of the Spanish Cup - VALENCIA CF - taking on "La Liga"
Champion - REAL MADRID - in the 1ºst leg of the Spanish Super
Cup 2008
. This trophy traditionally heralds in the
new season & tonight
Valencia took the glory with a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid


















Valencia looked good, real good tonight as they played sharp Football,
was mobile & looked confident in what they were doing. Real Madrid

was virtually overrun via the wings & lacked real control of the
midfield, in fact, they spent most of the night defending & Real
goalkeeper Casillas saving shots.

However, Real has VAN NISTELROOY who is a guarentee up front
& the two clear opportunities that he received - 13th min & 67th

min- he riffled them home.
























Having said this, Valencia was in control & in the 2ºnd half got
the job finally done with goals from MATA ( 55th min), DAVID
VILLA (58th min) & VICENTE ( 80th min), independently if
Real Coach Schuster put on Ramos, Guti & Robben to fill the

gaps in the defence & midfield.

Good win to Valencia who deserved the victory, & now go to Madrid

for the 2ºleg - 24th of August - for the decider. I´m sure Real Madrid
will do better & strenghten its defence with its regular players &
improve, because tonight was a signal that they improve or they will
be
in trouble this season.

I enjoy Spanish football, but as a fan of the premier league I enjoy seeing Spaniards moving to England and playing there. David Villa, hopefully, will be next. There is a great class of footballer and style of play in Spain. I love the blog!
