Here is the video of Goalkeeper DANI ARANZUBIA scoring the equalizer for DEPORTIVO in the 95th min against ALMERIA. It was a Round 24 match of the Spanish Football League - La Liga & Almeria was about to take the victory with a 1 - 0 lead. The Deportivo goalkeeper kicks out of this area & flies the ball into the Almeria goal area were it gets an Almeria deflection & onto to a last corner for Deportivo.
Dani Aranzubia decides to try his luck & races to the Almeria goal area &...

REAL MADRID CF | RELIEF AS THE DRY GOAL DROUGHT FINALLY ENDS | REAL MADRID 6 DEPORTIVO 1 VIDEO GOALS
Spanish TV "Cuarto" via its Sports News section televised this afternoon this piece on how REAL MADRID finally broken their "Goal Drought spell" yesterday against Deportivo with a 6 - 1 victory. The news piece is in Spanish BUT it can be intuitively understood, apart from also seeing all the goals from last nights game.
To help out in the translation & catch the many ideas in the video, it basically goes like this:
1. Mourinho weeks back in a post-Champions game when asked about the lack of goals scoring said "They (goals) will come & someday some poor team will pay the consequence"

1. Mourinho weeks back in a post-Champions game when asked about the lack of goals scoring said "They (goals) will come & someday some poor team will pay the consequence"
2. The post Deportivo interviews with the Real players say the same, they are happy & that the Coach was right , the goals would eventually come & tonight they did.
3. The news piece shows how RELIEF grows within the Real Madrid players as the goals flow during the match, especially Cristiano Ronaldo who finally scored & did so twice...
4. The word "Contento" = "Happy"
5. Check out the face of Real Madrid President Florentino Perez after shaking hands with mate & Deportivo President Lendoiro. Being a gentleman & very diplomatic, the Real Madrid President lets slip a "face" to someone that reveals that he was also "finally" happy.

UEFA CUP 2008/09 QUALIFIERS: 4 SPANISH TEAMS BEGIN THE LONG ROAD
The long road of the UEFA Cup kicked off tonight with 4 Spanish
teams in action. Many consider the Uefa Cup more difficult & much
more unpredictable than the Champions League. The 1ºpart set up of
the Uefa Cup is a home & away knock out leg which then turns
into a Group ( Champions League format) stage to see the top teams
of each group later fight it out till the final. It is basically a tooth-grinder
of a competition which takes the punch out of most teams.
The first team to feel the true nature of Uefa is DEPORTIVO who went
down away 2-0 to Norweign side BRANN BERGEN. The goals come
in the 20th min via a penalty that BJARNASSON converted & in the
36th min via SOLLI.
Bergen deserved the win as they were superior & will make the return
leg a must win game ( & with 3 goals) affair for Deportivo who face an
uphill battle.
SEVILLA FC did the job as was expected with a 2-0 victory at
home against SALZBURG. Young CAPEL ( above) scored the first
goal for Sevilla in the 6th min. From here Salzburg stood firm until
the 90th min when CHEVANTON scored Sevilla FC second goal.
In theory, Sevilla should´nt have problems for the return leg.
RACING with all the illusion in the world won an even affair against
HONKA ESPOO by the narrow margen of 1-0. The goal come in a
moment of a lapse of concentration from Honka as the 2º half had
just started. In fact, in the 46th min PEREIRA got in & scored Racing
only & winning goal.
Racing has the advantage for the return leg, but needs to be cautious
as it is not at all in the bag.
VALENCIA flew to the Portugues Islands of Madeira to meet
MARITIMO, a good Portugues side with class. Valencia won 0-1
thanks to then 12th min fabulous goal from MORIENTES (above).
However, Maritimo was not daunted & put Valencia at times against
the ropes. So much so, that in the 2º half they hit the post twice & nearly
equalized in the last minute, but Valencia too missed their chances
( Villa missed a beauty) throughout the game to have the game turn to
a seesaw affair for most of the time.
Good win for Valencia, they escape from a tough ground & from a very
good Maritimo team. The 2º leg is going to be a grand game. Tweet

UEFA CUP 2008: DEPORTIVO WILL HAVE TO SUFFER AT SPLIT
UEFA CUP Football kicked off yesterday with Spanish Club
DEPORTIVO A CORUÑA in action, but the result achieved was
not expected. They met Croatian side HAJDUK SPLIT in the
1º leg game & finished in a 0-0 draw, which will make the return
2º leg encounter at Split like landing in "hell".
The Croatians went into the match with the textbook theory of ...
"lets get out of here with a draw", & it worked brilliantly as they
placed a defensive wall that made Deportivo crash into it. Split
now go home with its advantage to attempt to win the decider.
Deportivo will have to suffer up till the end if they wish to continue
on the Uefa Cup road. Tweet

DJALMINHA : THE "FORGOTTEN" BRAZILIAN MAGICIAN OF SPANISH & WORLD FOOTBALL
While the World marvels at the increible skills, plays & dribbling
of Brazilians like Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho...etc, we ( & perhaps
the youngsters) forget that before them was DJALMINHA
(pictured below) who played in DEPORTIVO DE A CORUÑA,
who helped take them to their first Liga title in the year 2000.
Why bring this up now? Because it seems most contempary Football
followers only talk about Ronaldinho & company, & SFS though it
maybe the moment to remember that Djalminha has a place in
Football history: as one of Brazil´s & World Football´s great
talents.
Their is no denying, Djalminha was difficult, controversial & some
may say a little crazy, but are´nt most Brazilian Stars? He is
best known for his time in Spanish Football were he was vital in
Deportivo winning: La Liga (2000), Spanish Cup (2002) & 2
Spanish Super Cups (2000-01 & 2002-03).
The odd piece in this story is that he was only 14 times International
for Brazil . His controversial character played a part here & halted
his progression in the Brazil National side, it also halted him from
performing on the World stage & grabbing more media attention.
However, its his Football that we are here for & wish to remember
him. Here is a GREAT video on the player - in Spanish - that
deserves to be watched in full. Highly recommended. You will soon
see that his skill was beyond words at times...making Ronaldinho
look like (stop)...well, they are all good really. Let you judge:

DEPORTIVO A CORUÑA NEWS 2008: AOUTE & MANUA FIGHT ( PHYSICALLY) FOR THE GOALKEEPING SPOT
It´s always said that competition is good & keeps the boys in shape. This
philosophy went beyond an intellectual level today when both of
DEPORTIVO´s goalkeepers, the Israeli DUDA AOUTE ( picture above)
& Uruguayian GUSTAVO MANUA ( pictured below) carried their
particular "battle" into the dressing rooms after training today. The result
was a fist fight between both that saw Aoute come out with a 6º stitch
injury. In coloquial terms, Aoute got the shit punched out of him by
Manua (see the bottom picture).
This all happens after Aoute publically critised his substitution at the goal
mouth after some basic "mistakes" that the Israeli could not understand,
& did not take at all into account the good & hard work up till now of his
teammate Manua.
Its obvious that this is a very real sign of the problems that Deportivo A
Coruña are having this year , who are currently at the bottom of the ladder
& in danger of heading for relegation if they do not pull their act together.
This incident also puts more pressure on coach Lotina who is on the wire
in being possibly sacked. Stay tuned!
