• Chronicle.The penalty is not the only evil of a Real Madrid that falls to Alavés

  • The lawnmower, Zidane is the Chinese drop

After only 10 games, Real Madrid has three defeats, the same as during the entire previous season.

"I don't have an explanation," admitted

Zinedine Zidane

, halfway between resignation and unease.

"And neither for tonight," added the coach about the poor show offered against Alavés, a rival who had not even been able to score in his five previous visits to the Bernabéu.

Yesterday, the people from Vitoria took advantage of the facilities to take from Valdebebas one of those victories that change trends.

Madrid's, just 72 hours after the 0-2 at the Meazza, is declining again.

Among other reasons, because the team suffered the same blow that Wednesday had inflicted on Inter.

Everything was triggered by a bad assignment from

Marcelo

, drowned by the pressure that

Pablo Machín

encouraged from the band.

Not satisfied, the coach asked

Duarte

to join the auction for the corner.

Something must have puzzled the presence at the last minute of the side, because

Nacho

lost the mark and deflected with his hand.

"His back is turned,"

Luka Modric

tried to explain

to

Cordero Vega

, who had seen him very closely.

In any case, the referee was much less rigorous with the infractions on

Eden Hazard

and

Marcelo

in the other area.

For the action on the Brazilian the sailor expression is enough: it was a penalty by the hair.

Despite the evidence, Zidane avoided any comment about the referee or the VAR to turn the analysis towards his own players.

"You don't have to look for excuses. We played a bad game, especially at the start and it couldn't be changed. In the second half, we didn't create many chances. We couldn't change the dynamic. That bothers me and worries me," the Frenchman stressed. , without a single criticism of Cordero Vega.

No respite

In any case, the balance is the most striking: five penalties against in the last three days of the League.

As many as in the previous 52.

To complete the statistical blunder, just remember that the other two goals conceded by Courtois during that time were Varane's own goal at Mestalla and Joselu after a gift yesterday from the goalkeeper.

Even more puzzling is Hazard's case.

Football does not allow a respite to the Belgian, deprived for another reason of the regularity that his confidence needs.

On his return on the 31st, just a week later, a positive for Covid-19 occurred.

The big game in Milan is now blurred by this injury, shortly before the half hour is up.

The '7' withdrew as soon as he felt pain in his right thigh.

In the first instance, the medical services assumed that it was a tear, although Zidane changed the perspective: "I think it is just a blow. I hope it is not muscular at all."

In any case, the '7' will undergo the first ultrasound today and on Monday, if necessary, they will perform an MRI for a definitive diagnosis.

Ramos' 'party'

In reality, each approach represented an ordeal for the defense of Madrid, which lost much of the credit acquired in the Champions League.

Of course, the source of the problem was located higher.

In a loosely organized and even less effective pressure.

Without

Ferland Mendy

and

Fede Valverde

, it costs Madrid too much to harass the adversary.

Even in the most predictable situations.

Because even Modric must have made Marcelo ugly with his alarming lack of concentration in a corner kick thrown from below.

Nobody raised their voices in Madrid.

Not from the grass, not from the bench.

So

Sergio Ramos

, located a few meters from

Florentino Pérez's

box

, started his particular match.

Not only did he remind the referee of the two penalties on Hazard and Marcelo, but he continually corrected Nacho and

Casemiro

.

In the last arreón of the addition, when

Isco

outlined from the balcony of the area, the captain saw it clearly: "Great goal!", He exclaimed before the ball exploded against the crossbar.

The second league defeat at home leaves Madrid six points behind the leadership.
