• Madrid - Sevilla. Match statistics

Casemiro wears the ax with gloves. Where it is needed, it is blunt; Where it is necessary, it is subtle. This Madrid without strikers, for injuries, punishments or bisoñez, needs to fill the basket anyway, and the Brazilian asks for the time in all queues. Again, as in the Super Cup , the midfielders put what the strikers do not put: the goal.

This time it was Casemiro's turn, twice, to advance Madrid on several occasions with unexpected appearances in the area. In the first, he gently lifted the ball over Vaclik; in the second, he finished off in the place of centrals that did not wait for him. The Brazilian found the only riot in the well-woven network of Lopetegui, to which the VAR provoked an attack of anger over a foul that looked like basketball. Sevilla was better in many phases, but without a Casemiro in their ranks.

The midfielder reaped what he could in his area against a well-distributed rival and with an interesting replica of the Madrid player in the figure of Fernando. A good acquisition over Monchi . But the best, however, was in their incorporations, ahead of Kroos and Modric , even to become the unexpected guest in the Sevilla area. The second of his goals was the best example of the situation provoked before the defense.

Casemiro decided a bad encounter of a Madrid that lacked a lot in the start, as well as the heart, the lung and the fist. In other words, Sergio Ramos, Valverde and Benzema . For every absence there were reasons of force, whether they were injuries or penalties, although the French waited on the bench fallow and in the second half jumped into the field. The loss of who has more goal, which is not all necessary, did not cause Bale to return, despite training normally all week. He arrived at the Bernabéu 12 minutes before the game and left eight before the end. Ugly, although it complies with the club's internal regulations. The moment he feels stronger, Zidane speaks clearly without saying a word. Jovic and Rodrygo did not accompany the purposes of their coach, except for the first heel in the first goal of Madrid. For now, the heel is the only thing we have seen in this signing. Little bit.

In addition to Jovic and Rodrygo, Zidane gave Lucas Vázquez minutes, out of focus and rhythm. This season was like opting for a discontinued player, but Galician always did Zidane good services. In the second of the white goals, he was the assistant.

The first of the great absences hurt Madrid in the hierarchy of the start of the game, the exit of the ball that Sergio Ramos gives to the team. Little weights that facet of the captain, because his exuberance eats everything else, but it is a Tarzan who knows how to play pool. Varane and Militao do not have the same foot, nor such courage. Sevilla took the opportunity to put the locals in trouble in the first phase of the game. Kroos and Modric, ahead of Casemiro, could little help their teammates.

The second casualty deprived Madrid of energy and surprise, since the young Fede Valverde is not only a recuperator, but as he settles, he discovers his interior vocation, with the ability to break lines and reach the area. Casemiro, in his arrivals, put precisely something of what the Uruguayan player brings, absent due to the decisive Morata hunt in Jeddah.

The Brazilian, in short, did everything to save a strange party at the Bernabéu, between absences, hangover from a title and in front of a complex guest. Only in the second part, more open, with goals and the tickle that Vinicius always provokes, deep and determined, did Madrid grow. Sevilla had good team stuff but not great team. He could get ahead with the shot of De Jong , annulled by the VAR by interpreting a blockade of Gudelj of which there are hundreds in the areas, but the Big Brother of football has changed everything. What needs to be clarified is the criterion, and the proof is the action that allowed De Jong to tie, at which beginning the ball touched Munir's elbow. The tool that had to end the controversy has redoubled it. The problem is of those who handle it. Casemiro, on the other hand, is handled anywhere.
