Real Madrid come back against Betis with Benzema and with controversy

• Controversies. Offside, expulsion and penalty at Villamarín: "There are things I cannot say ..."

• Direct Narration and statistics

The VAR brings truths and controversies, because the same things are seen differently.

At Villamarín he saw a fine, fine white thread penalty, which

had not appreciated

, and which served Madrid to advance towards victory and the rest to make noise.

There will be a lot, too much.

The debate on the beneficiaries is anachronistic, from another time.

The debate about whether this is really football is something else.

In any case, it is a different football in the bars, to which you will have to get used to, but in which the usual ones rule, guys like

or

.

It was, however, a goal subaltern,

, who caused the play of controversy and the outcome after the failure of Jovic, the unexpected starter.

Asking everything from Benzema, who had opened the first goal and tied at the most delicate moment, was too much.

The initial bullfighting of the French, however, heralded something different.

One-two, one step, one-two, one step ... Patient and with more faith than his adversary, Benzema banned Álex Moreno to the limit and took the poisoned center towards the cave of nine, because there was a nine at the that only justifies the only fate that was once associated with such a dorsal.

The goal.

But Jovic was not in that place, no.

attended the auction

, with due anticipation for the auction, clean, accurate.

The Serbian, to whom Zidane had granted ownership, did not come that time nor would he later.

When Madrid dominated, at the start, it was out of step, as if it did not understand the rest, with movements that were not what the team needed or their teammates wanted.

When ZZ's men were overtaken by Betis, it was like a lost soul.

He did not even reach the auction that could redeem him, at the beginning of the second half, and that Benzema transformed, in the correct position according to the VAR.

Cachazudo, the Serbian has the physique of a stevedore, heavy, more typical of old-fashioned battering rams, who expect centers and move little.

In this Madrid and in this football, everyone moves.

His failure in the match, where he barely forced the expulsion of Emerson before being replaced by Borja Mayoral, carries a message that Zidane thinks about, whatever the priorities in T4 at the Bernabéu.

The Serbian's line-up led Madrid to change their drawing with

from the start in the second consecutive game since his return.

If ZZ wanted to play outside at Anoeta, with

and

, at Villamarín he opted for the opposite, with a diamond in the center of the field, with Valverde plus Kroos and Casemiro.

It allowed him to dominate but not hold, especially when Betis managed to reach the line of their midfielders, with Canales,

and

.

Lot of talent.

It is beautiful what Pellegrini starts, a coach who does not cheat, but will need time to adjust it.

Betis, who was able to go ahead in a shot from

taken on the line by

, offered as much danger in the attack as the one they suffered in their area.

The example was Mandi, who failed in Madrid's first goal, but hierarchical to achieve the equalizer in a set-piece action, by rising above Casemiro.

Ramos' 'Panenka'

The ball for the green-and-white tie was thrown by Canales, the same one who had put the ball to Sanabria, a good puncher.

The Cantabrian was the best of his kind.

Joaquín accompanied him while he could.

He retired within the hour.

knows that he can contribute a lot to the game, although his overflow is not the same, but he knows that he has other important intangibles in the wardrobe habitat.

For Madrid everything would have been easier if they had clinched the score within minutes of Benzema scoring, but whoever never does it failed.

Sergio Ramos fished in the initial surge of the green-and-white defense, but the hook released the goal when he was already celebrating it mentally.

From there, he played as if he had succeeded, with little intensity.

Casemiro, a diesel that starts the seasons at idle, was diminished by an entry from Emerson, but both Valverde and Odegaard lacked nerve.

The Norwegian was replaced by Isco.

Before, still in the first half, ZZ had relieved Kroos for Modric, and it is that he observed how his team had lost the initiative, the advantage and could lose much more.

What the white team had not achieved, the Verdiblancos had done, taking the lead three minutes after drawing, before an indolent defense.

entered the area at a trot and finished as if he had no one in front of him.

In the white dressing room things were said, enough, and two minutes were enough for the score to reflect it, thanks to Carvajal and Benzema.

The VAR did not estimate anything, but it would do it to leave Betis at a disadvantage and decree a penalty from

that sealed the white victory, a la Panenka, by

, and with noise.
