“Did you notice this too?” the response between irony and resignation. Zubimendi to the question of an informant who made the assessment: “Without goals there is no paradise.” Real have gone five games and 474 minutes without scoring a single goal in an official match. The seven and a half hours are to pierce the rival networks between Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League. So much for a squad designed to compete in the Champions League. Historic drought. With only two precedents. In Anoeta’s next goal, instead of rockets, maybe they’ll have to use fireworks.
La Real hasn’t been ‘wet’ since Sheraldo Becker at Balaídos on January 23. Since then, Imanol’s men have been kept clean in the latter stages of that match, against Rayo Vallecano, Girona, Mallorca, Osasuna and PSG. A hellish streak. 48 shots, only seven on target, but zero goals. Against the French, nine attempts, but none towards the 7.32 square meters that the goal was vertical.
A drama of battering rams
The statistics are starting to get gory. This is the third time in the entire history of Real that they have linked five official matches without scoring a goal. The first was between 1961 and 1962 and the second, between February and March 1973, according to MisterChip data. Because this is Imanolthis is the most important and alarming director of the wasteland.
Didn’t play Oyarzabal and this season has traces of drama. The records of the other three sheep were disastrous. In 2,848 minutes of football in between Andrew Silva(a goal), Sadiq Umar (two and Carlos Fernandez (three) scored half a dozen goals. Of those, two were against very low class rivals (Carlos to Buñol and Silva al Andratx) and another penalty (Carlos in Almeria). The two great goals Sadiq and the Sevillian in Valencia is the only one in the game and against professional rivals.
