  • Market Mbappé's hug with Leonardo and the eternal wait for Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti

appealed in the previous to the maturity of a professional dressing room oblivious to the rumors of

the transfer market

, but, coincidence or not, Madrid added its second victory of the season after curdling the worst minutes of these first three dates.

Only one goal from

Carvajal

defined the balance in the always difficult

Benito Villamarín

square

.

Florentino Pérez

was in the stands

, mobile at times in hand, surely thinking of messages destined for

Paris

. Economic experts repeat that the signing of

Mbappé would

enhance the external image of

Real Madrid on

several levels

without caring too much about the sporting results in the short term. Not at the level of the

Galacticos

or

Cristiano Ronaldo

, but above the step that the Madrid team currently treads. A star for a decade and a

Ballon d'Or

at his feet. But while the negotiation remains frozen and the economic potential is only imagined, the football reality is that Ancelotti's team has added

seven points in three games

, all away from home in a month with more shadows than lights.

The team shone in Vitoria, survived against Levante from more to less and yesterday it was somewhat insubstantial for many minutes in Seville.

Win, yes, but not convincing.

The start of Vinicius

Vinicius

appeared for the first time in the starting eleven thanks to the electricity shocks he offered in the previous two weeks. The Brazilian is pure spark, a hurricane in the open country that turns into a light wind when it has few spaces. His first part, and with it that of Madrid, was summed up in that. He galloped in the first moments to leave a dead ball in the area that

Benzema could

not take advantage of for the 0-1 and evaporated as the minutes passed, like his team.

Militao was

able to score with a volley after a rebound, but failed and Madrid began their slowdown.

In the first half, Ancelotti's side suffered and completed its worst minutes of the championship. Slow with the ball and weighed down by the excessive seconds to think that

Casemiro

needed

and by the touches of more from

Isco

, circumstances that no longer have a place in modern football.

Without Kroos or Modric,

the attack was a desert without water, and with

Alaba

as a center-back, and not a winger, the team lost organization, speed in getting the ball out and compromised too many plays. Only the starts of Vinicius and

Fede Valverde

managed to break lines, so the German and Croatian were once again indispensable despite watching the game on television.

Under these circumstances, Betis grew up guided by the wands of

Canales and Fekir

.

The Spanish became lord and master of the rest of the minutes before the intermission and ruled the center of the field before a broken and disorderly team.

Carvajal saw the seams of the lack of matches, Miguel Gutiérrez had a hard duel with Ruibal and Bale was lost on the right, waiting to make that diagonal towards a shot that never came.

Miguel's theft and Carvajal's goal

After the break,

Madrid raised

the pressure and possession lines

several meters

and felt more comfortable in the rival field, without having to start plays so far back. And the occasions appeared. He created danger near the Betis goal with several centers from

Miguel and Bale

and found the goal in one against. The young squad saved a two against one against the Verdiblancos forwards and began a transition that ended with the ball at Benzema's feet. The Frenchman waited for the arrival of his teammates, saw

Carvajal

at the far post and put a measured ball on him so that the side would redeem himself from his irregular first half and score crossed against Silva.

The goal made Madrid move back the meters it had advanced after the intermission, allowing several dangerous approaches from

Betis

but launching against it. Ancelotti again insisted with

Asensio in the midfielder

and the Mallorcan was able to sentence, but his shot, in the race and with the interior, left brushing the stick. Neither did

Hazard

hit the shot

, which was twenty minutes on the pitch. The absence of that second goal made the whites suffer, even more so after

Miguel's

muscle injury

, one of the best in the match, which forced Carvajal to play on the left and complete the entire match.

That tactical disorder starred in a thicker ending than desired.

A runner in which Madrid came out unscathed thanks to

Courtois

.
