Madrid bite a bone at the Bernabéu

Madrid bites a bone on a night when it wanted fresh meat. Things like those that happened to

in Vallecas whet any predator's appetite.

is not there to be easily bitten in. You have to be excellent and Madrid, hard work, was not, with difficulties in the positional attack, little space to run and without the precision of other times in the definition. Herrera, goalkeeper for the Navarrese, did not come out in the figure of the Bernabéu. (Narration and statistics)

A victory can be due to a circumstance, even random.

Four wins are a trend.

They were those that Osasuna had added outside of Sadar.

All.

The reasons were clear at the Bernabéu.

has set a team that preserves the old constants, but is much more than the hard leg.

He accompanies work like few others without the ball, without giving away a single space, and has a plan when he gets it back.

It is the representation of a realistic set, which does not do what it can do, far from suicidal aspirations, but is convinced of its arguments.

At the Bernabéu, for example, he did not lead defense as far as he usually does.

That is the merit of who runs it, not everything is DNA.

The inheritance works when you know how to manage.

Otherwise it is like a dusty trunk that is useless.

The Bernabéu was not, possibly, the best place to consider continuing the winning streak at home.

Nor is it something that worries Arrasate.

These record things are of more interest to those of us who write and to those who read them than to those who interpret them, except for cases of supine ego.

It is not the case of the Navarrese coach, antidive by conviction.

Arrasate used two ends, when aligning

with

, a key spring in his system.

The former

striker

is the north of Osasuna, the vertex on which to activate the offensive game.

Receive from behind and protect the ball with your body, like a bear, and offer progression to the rest.

It was

main route

to advance when he could, because most of the time his mission would be to defend.

From three centers with excellent position and anticipation, especially

, a colossus in the air game, Osasuna formed with a line of five in a retreat situation.

Arrasate's slogan was not to leave a single space for Madrid, which is better activated against the counter than in the positional attack.

No way to get over the wall

not find a way

to filter balls or enable Benzema in shooting positions in the first period, so they resorted to mid-range shots. It is the specialty of Kroos, but the German did not hole between suits.

once again the most sought-after footballer by his teammates, the Brazilian active and profound, but without being able to complete the plays.

Madrid needed to be more aggressive to steal and create counterattack situations, and increase speed in transitions against a defense that swung to perfection. Ancelotti had chosen

as a starter, a key defender for the attack, and it is not a contradiction, and

and

, since you have to find when and where to give breaks to guys like Modric. Neither gave the expected level.

At halftime, however, the Italian called Rodrygo in search of the revolutions he needed. He succeeded, although at the cost of losing weight in midfield. The exchange of blows usually benefits Madrid due to a question of ammunition, but the first was Osasuna in a catalog counter started by Chimy Ávila on the right. Carvajal hesitated between intercepting him or covering the center, where Kike García, who had been at the beginning of the action, was advancing.

Carvajal could not divide as he would have liked.

Chimy Ávila centered for the arrival of Moncayola, in the opposite band, and the Navarrese adjusted the shot, spit out by the base of the stick.

It was the clearest occasion in both areas, along with another Benzema stick, but Osasuna no longer replied, subjected to the arrivals of Madrid, who added Hazard, Lucas Vázquez or Marcelo in search of the energy he was looking for to unbalance the rival.

None with as much clarity as Rodrygo and Benzema, but without the necessary for the imbalance that was easier for him in the classic.
