• Classification. 22nd matchday

  • Knee operation, Ramos, two months out

  • Hazard's relapse, why are the wingers so injured?

Redemption never asks for permission.

It comes when someone decides.

For

Varane,

he did it at the moment when the defense felt the most orphan, with

Sergio Ramos

in the operating room and

Militao

in the thinking corner, writing a thousand times I will not fail.

The Frenchman had been the protagonist to the contrary, as in Manchester last season, but this time he vindicated himself with two saving goals, even in a less glamorous stage, El Alcoraz, which are like serotonin, so necessary in these times for

Zidane

.

The thing, today, is not for glamor, but to survive.

[Narration and statistics (1-2)]

The victory, however, does not take a comma away from what was said about Madrid's problems.

Looking at the bench, perhaps you could better understand Zidane's anger the day before, in addition to knowing that he lost the captain for a month and a half.

When he wanted to go for the game, he could only shoot

Mariano

and

Marvin

.

The injuries deepen the shortage of resources in some positions.

To begin with, he used

Vinicius

, who is like champagne.

Now it is necessary to improve the bouquet that follows uncorking and bubbles.

In minutes at the Alcoraz, more things had happened than in

Hazard's

past unfinished matches

, again at the dry dock.

Zidane is right when he says that the Belgian has to change things, perhaps in his head.

The injuries are also psychosomatic.

Ask

Illarramend

i.

Sergio Ramos is not, a problem of depth for Madrid, for the day to day in the field and for tomorrow.

If the ZZ team goes back, the renewal process now stopped will be entrenched.

If it is shipwrecked, the need for its permanence can be a cry.

Asensio does not give the stretch

Nacho

was the solution in Huesca, Militao sanctioned.

We know little about how far the Brazilian can go, almost unprecedented since his arrival, but we know how far Nacho does, far from the outstanding but well above the approved.

Madrid is not there for enrollment, let's be clear.

Without Ramos and without Hazard, the second for less time, Madrid is supported by the

maginot line in

the center of the field, where

Modric

,

Kroos

and

Casemiro

are the untouchables of

ZZ

, the only one where the hierarchy that the club is supposed to really guess , although in Huesca he could not contain the transition from 1-0 either.

The rest do not always respond to what Madrid is.

Odriozola

and

Mendy

are very far from

Carvajal

and

Marcelo

.

Asensio

grows, but does not give the stretch, next to a Vinicius of jerks.

Even such jerks are valuable in times of hardship.

Hazard's return had displaced the Brazilian, who the coach does not see as mature enough to start.

He is not without reason, but there are weighty reasons.

Vinicius provides them because he has them in his body, which is the one who decides.

He is a footballer in the wild, who must incorporate other things in decision-making.

In Alcoraz he uncovered his treasure, the overflow, to threaten Huesca.

The flight of Courtois, in the action of the 1-0 of Huesca.

The problem is what to do with the ball when he had achieved it, up to twice in the area, even to give Benzema short.

When he best decided, after an exceptional delivery from

Kroos

, he was offside and the ball went slightly outside the goal of Álvaro, who in the entire first half only had to respond to a low shot from Benzema.

Madrid started with the desire to be dominating, with possession and intensity, something that did not bother Huesca at all, very well placed.

It is evident that the arrival of

Pacheta

, a soccer day laborer, has given him good sense and character, without both being exclusive of ambition, as his changes showed.

I wanted to win.

The players of the Huesca team know what they want to do and when they have to do it, and that speaks of a well-managed team.

Huesca started with intensity in both halves, in search of the surprise that they could not achieve at the beginning, despite the arrival of Rafa Mir, but after the break, when Madrid believed they already owned the game.

In three minutes, Huesca arrived three times, with two shots on the post and one goal.

Madrid had not yet left the dressing room.

Between the shots of

Maffeo

and

Rafa Mir

to the wood, the second very violent,

Galán

caught the goal.

The defensive readings in the actions were of penalty, without the center of the field slowing down the transitions either.

Galán, a find for this team, soon after put a center taken from a jeweler so that Rafa Mir forced Courtois' best intervention, although by then Madrid had already managed to balance the shock again and take it to an exchange of blows in the that usually comes out the winner, and more in front of the modest ones.

Benzema as spring

The tie began in Benzema, the spring that was necessary to activate to change the game.

Paradoxically, Vinicius was at least when there was more space to run.

Zidane wanted Marcelo to do it, whom he took off the bench.

The Frenchman launched a foul on the wood and the rebound fell from the sky in Álvaro's private preserve, the small area, but the goalkeeper did not rejoin in time.

Varane pushed the net into the swarm.

It wasn't the only time he'd do it, almost unintentionally.

Zidane gave entry to Mariano and Marvin, but the area, finally, came a usual, Casemiro, to head a set piece from Kroos.

Álvaro's rejection, miraculous in a chest stop to Benzema minutes before, found again Varane's dragged left leg, as desperate in the goal as this existing suffering of Madrid.
