Direct This is how we live it
The
Real Madrid
of
Carlo Ancelotti
found the first wreck of the season in the
Ciutat de Valencia
who gave a surreal encounter, dominated by whites in the first half, buffeted by
Levante
in the Madrid errors and tied by
Vinicius
, who obviating the The pressure to which he is subjected due to his failures in front of the goal, added to the madness with two excellent definitions.
The game started between the stumbling blocks caused by an excessively wet grass, with Madrid still finding themselves in an unusual midfield.
Without Kroos or Modric
,
Casemiro
embedded himself in the axis and released
Valverde
and
Isco
, leaving the lead for the trident formed by
Hazard, Benzema and Bale
, who shared attack for the second consecutive game. Isco was the best the time he was in the field. He led the ball out on the left side with
Alaba
and linked up with Hazard and Benzema for the Madrid initiatives.
In one of those connections on the left side of Madrid, the first goal was born. Overwhelmed by the pressure from Levante, which barely left space in the midfield, Benzema tried a deflection that
Alaba
, integrated in the dressing room and on the pitch, turned into a clear goal scoring opportunity. The Austrian has entered Madrid territory with a red carpet and stars from the side in some of the best offensive pills in Ancelotti's team. As in
Vitoria
, where he assisted Vinicius, this time he found the Frenchman long with a soft touch so that he appeared with the ball in the area. The Frenchman did not look for goal, stopped the ball by the grass, and gave a
pass of the death that Bale accommodated to the net
in his first goal of white after 19 months.
Madrid converted the first goal into the fuel needed to ignite ideas.
He was able to score the second in different actions, launched by the clairvoyance of Isco and the technical and tactical delivery of Alaba, one of the signings of the year in the League, but he ran into his
lack of punch
.
Neither Hazard, the most irregular of the attackers, nor Benzema could overcome Aitor.
Not even
Fede Valverde
, powerful, heeled to the right to have a field to run diagonally, managed to touch the rival net in his attempts.
A soft defense
Levante appreciated the break and touched gold in their first opportunity. In a good combination with Morales,
Roger
took advantage of the fact that Lucas had thrown the offside line badly to position himself in front of
Courtois
and score against the Belgian, who touched the ball but could not avoid the tie.
The goal froze Madrid
, who had looked so good in the first half that they were confident as if they were winning comfortably. Ten minutes after the tie,
De Frutos
threw a cross to the far post where
Campaña
appeared
, unmarked, to volley into Courtois' goal. All eyes went to
Lucas Vázquez
, who had not understood with
Militao
and was defending another footballer: «He
had two
», Protested the Galician to his companions.
In a moment, Ancelotti's men had thrown their good game off the cliff.
The Italian moved the tree, removed Hazard and Bale, too intermittent for what is expected of them, and took Isco off the field with the apparent excuse of the physicist.
They entered
Asensio
, in that new
midfielder
position,
Rodrygo and Vinicius
, Brazilian electricity to wake up a shocked team.
The spark of Vinicius
Ancelotti tried to fan the flame with fast and powerful players, but in a context of few spaces, with Levante locked in the area, Madrid suffered. Only when he delivered the ball did he find the tie. It was Casemiro, with a
deep pass of 40 meters
, who left Vinicius only before a race towards the goal of Aitor. The young forward, pressured by his mistakes against the net, did succeed in finishing, with
quality and pause
, to the left of the Granota goalkeeper. The Levant could have been made small, but it continued taking advantage of the opportunities of the destiny.
Bardhi
took a free-kick that Alaba could not clear and the rejection fell to
Pier
, who beat an incredulous Courtois.
Without time to think,
Madrid climbed on the shoulders of the spark of Vinicius
, touched by the wand of those days that great players have. In an appearance that was reminiscent of that of the last
Champions League
against
Liverpool
, the Brazilian was the great solution for Madrid. With the game against and the first puncture in sight, he masterfully solved an opportunity in the corner of the area. With hardly any angle, he drew a
diagonal toe
that surprised Aitor and put the tables. A few minutes later, he caused the goalkeeper to be sent off with a break into space and a self-pass and had the most spicy moments of a discount that did not serve Ancelotti's men.
The final whistle confirmed the
first gray night of this 'new' Madrid
, weighed down by defensive errors and by the apathy in the final meters of its forwards.
The merengue team smiles with some positive news, such as Alaba, Isco's minutes and Vinicius's impudence, but the doubts behind, especially on Lucas's side, leave him two points behind the leadership.
