• Chronicle: Vinicius has it all, except the goal

The Bernabéu did not hide his interest in Vinicius in the morning session against Espanyol. Without Hazard or Bale , Zidane gave the Brazilian a clue, he needed minutes and confidence and also his team to recover him for the cause, now that curves arrive. Mestalla and Camp Nou , the next two league games, are places where Real Madrid will play the title, hence the urgency to find the best version of the young striker.

Vinicius started as a motorcycle on the left side, his favorite. Every ball he received was a race against the world, where he used to win. In its wake, rivals on the ground and runrun of expectation in the stands ... almost always dissolved with an "oops" because of Diego López - several paradones - or a bad final pass. The boy did not lack tenacity throughout the meeting, always wanting to move forward before a Spanish defense without a way to stop him. His excess of momentum won a yellow, in dispute with the goalkeeper. Early warning that afterwards is almost worth a dislike.

The companions also looked for the Brazilian, when checking the danger it generated. And the fans thanked him for the interest. Although sometimes he lacked a second of tempering to give the correct assistance and another 30 centimeters to find the net before the goalkeeper.

His compatriot Rodrygo circulated on the opposite band, who does not waste that explosiveness, but he does handle the cold leg when he plays. The two were removed 10 minutes later, with generous ovation from Chamartín. He had just closed the function Benzema, with his eleventh goal in the League, pichichi of the tournament.

A little earlier, Vinicius slipped on the spinal cord and ran over a Spaniard. Quick the blue and white box claimed the second yellow, that is, his expulsion, something that the referee, Jaime Latre, rejected. "Of course it is necessary, but it is without intention," said Zidane , contrary to the opinion of the visiting coach, Pabló Machín : "The force is excessive ... I think it was yellow."

The blur of the game was put by Mendy , with two avoidable yellows that melted into a red worrying for Zidane. With Marcel injured and the Frenchman sanctioned, let's see what he invents in the left-handed lane. Before Espanyol, Militao ended up in that area.
