There we go then! Nothing
short of a volcanic ash cloud floating in from Iceland could prevent
Víctor Valdés from taking the Zamora prize for the third time
after Barcelona beat Real Madrid 0-2 at the weekend. Even the Madrid press are
saying that Valdés should be in Del Bosque's World Cup squad, but the
coach has a reputation for being stubborn, and Diego López for example
will take a bit of shifting after a third clean sheet in a row for Villarreal.
Elsewhere relegation candidates Tenerife and Valladolid cancelled each other
out in a 0-0 draw, Aragoneses defending the local goal and new coach Javier
Clemente opting for Justo Villar for the visitors after he returned in place of
Fabricio following a one match ban. The Paraguayan keeper only lasted half the
game though before injuring himself, and Clemente preferred Jacobo rather than
"Fabri" as his replacement. Three other keepers, Kameni (Espanyol), Codina
(Getafe) and Ricardo (Osasuna) also kept their goals against columns to zero in
what was another relatively low scoring weekend. (13.04.10) |
