| The
lowest number of goals since 'day 5' this week, only 23 in the league plus
three in the midweek game between Real Madrid and Zaragoza postponed from 'day
12'. With no cup matches either there was little movement in our table, with
only four of the top scorers improving their position. Raúl answered the
gossips who claimed his marriage was on the rocks the best way he could,
following up strong denials by scoring both midweek and on Sunday and
dedicating his goals to his wife and family. He moves up level with Kluivert in
third place. With the new-look Barcelona not letting in goals but not scoring
them either, neither Kluivert nor Rivaldo have added to their tallies in two
weeks, and Javi Moreno moved one closer to the leader with a late headed goal
to give his side a 1-0 victory. Back to their roots for Alavés there;
last year they won most of their games by a single Javi Moreno goal. Roy Makaay
proved he is the striker on form, missing half the season through injury but
already into double figures after a brace in three minutes against Bilbao. Pity
about the result. Lastly Roberto Carlos left Juanmi asking "durrr, where'd it
go?" with another 120 kph free kick for his ninth of the season. He is rapidly
taking over the mantle from his teammate Fernando Hierro as the highest scoring
defender in the league. (29.01.01) |
