Vinicius's goal was like a vomit, the outbreak of a young man facing the suicidal challenge of being Pele in a few minutes. That leads the Brazilian to go faster than the ball, to make hasty decisions, to push himself to the unbearable. Responding to what we want to be is pressure; Responding to what others want us to be is torment. The goal is not the solution, but today, at least, it is the relief. [Narration and statistics: 2-0]

Rodrygo's situation, 18, one less than Vinicius, is not the same, but his desires, his goal. He has just arrived, it is true, but he had already tried the punishment of being a substitute in Castilla de Raúl . Zidane didn't care. Both Brazilians exchanged the place in the second half. In his first contact with the ball, when Osasuna sharpened his attack, Rodrygo drove, went inside in the area and crossed a whip to end the game.

Vinicius's shoe, in the first period, was different and had the slight deflection of a defense to become an impossible for Rubén . The shot had the strength and intention of the goal, but fate put his hand to those who need it so much. To make a place in the attack of Madrid without finding the network is a nonsense, however many other qualities are. Vinicius has some, the most valuable overflow and speed, but they do not satisfy any striker, whatever they say. Rodrygo has already shown the Bernabeu some of his own, equally fast, but with more pause if necessary. He still does not have the stress of his countryman.

Eight month drought

Rodrygo premiered as a scorer the same day Vinicius broke an eight-month drought. There is a big difference between their states. Injury aside, it was too long for Vinicius. Thanks to the fact that Zidane went down to Madrid to the opportunity plant, the Brazilian appeared among the headlines in a team that only had three of the regulars in his eleven: Sergio Ramos, Casemiro and Kroos . Low sticks, Areola . Rotations are like the fable of Count Lucanor's donkey: if they are not done, the players burst; If they are done, they are criticized. It is the results that make them good or bad. Those of Zidane, this time were a success. The marker says it.

Vinicius celebrates with Nacho 1-0 against Osasuna.

Arrasate made his own in Osasuna, leaving, among others, Chimy Ávila and Roberto Torres out of the team. It is common during the weekdays, because for Osasuna the points of the weekend are more realizable, against Levante, than those of the Bernabéu. That is managing resources to compete. It's in your right. Since he managed to make the long game, only with a disadvantage goal until Rodrygo arrived, he put all his artillery on the field in the last minutes. He did not avail.

With so many changes it was logical that the tune in the game resented. Madrid suffered more than Osasuna, well aligned but without danger in the progression, despite Nacho's deficiencies. In the white team it caused accelerations, whether from Odriozola , Vinicius or Lucas Vázquez . The side came where no one believed and its center was knocked on the door by the Osasunista central Navas . Rubén repelled the ball at close range and Jovic threw the rebound high. It was too fast and surprising to ask for more from the striker, who, instead, missed a clear chance after the break. When he finally found the net, the VAR did not override a boot cue. Fate, this Wednesday, had chosen others.
