The first day is not the most apt to draw conclusions, even less in this

League

of

expanded

salary limits

thanks to an investment fund, of signings that do not arrive and of discards that do not find a new home. Well, with this preventive qualification made, here is a conclusion:

this Madrid has a goal

. Perhaps a lot more than you think, perhaps less than you may need when spring admits no mistake, but has a goal. And he has it because he has

Karim Benzema

, that footballer who never presented leader's credentials and who grows the more responsibility the circumstances place on him.

Cristiano

left

,

Ramos

has left

And there is the Frenchman, ready to untie knots to appease the anxiety of a premiere at times overwhelming, finally solved with sufficiency.

Real Madrid left some doubts last night in Mendizorroza, especially in a first half in which Alavés tutored him without complexes, but all of them left them for another day thanks to a furious start in the second half, in which he drilled three times the

Pacheco's

goal

in 13 minutes. Two of the goals were achieved thanks to Benzema and in the first the green shoots of a

Hazard

were appreciated

whose spark was the best news for

Ancelotti

, in the first episode of his second white adventure. He also convinced

Alaba

in his debut, covering the left side of the defense due to the losses of

Mendy and Marcelo

and crowning his debut with an assist to Vinicius in discount.


Apart from the former

Bayern

, the presence of

Bale

, lying on the right profile of the attack, as in the old days, was the most striking message that Ancelotti offered with his lineup. The coach seems willing to recover the Welshman for the cause, encouraged by his own tendency to respect hierarchies, but it is still surprising that he is betting on a footballer apparently amortized to the detriment of those who must star in the future,

Rodrygo

and

Vinicius

. It could even be interpreted as a message to the heights, but

Florentino Pérez

does not need

be convinced of the suitability of signing a top-level attacker. What you need are circumstances that, today, have not yet occurred.

Mbappé

, meanwhile, was exhibiting with

PSG

after hearing whistles from his own fans.

Good for Madrid?

We have to wait to know it ... Today seems less necessary than yesterday.

The identity that

Calleja

wants to establish in Alavés, anchored for years in a very conservative football, brought out the shortcomings of Ancelotti's team during the first act. Not so much the soccer as the emotional ones, because the Vitoria team prevailed in the disputes thanks to its greater intensity and later it generated problems for the white defense thanks to its verticality and ambition. His was the best chance of the first half, the work of

Pere Pons

after a play by

Édgar

, while Madrid could only score a shot on goal, the work of Bale in a very distant free kick that did not rush

Pacheco

.


The luck that Real Madrid enjoys is that it always has the wild card of talent to invest hesitant inertia when not negative. All it takes is a back pass from

Lucas Vázquez

, a pure fantasy assist from Hazard and a point-blank shot from Benzema to clear the fog. It was the start of 13 minutes of fury, to which Nacho continued taking advantage of a

Modric

center

and that Benzema himself closed in a double opportunity. Without hardly realizing it, Madrid went 0-3 in a flash: that's having a goal.


An error by

Militao

, the weakest of the white defense, led

It caused

Joselu to

cut penalties, but Madrid never feared for the victory.

There was even a chance of redemption for the Austrian, serving in the discount an assist to

Vinicius

that served to fasten the victorious debut of Madrid.

The goal against Madrid smiled so much last night that even the Brazilian scored.
