Chronicle Madrid takes a step forward to which only Falcao responds
Opinion El Rayo almost electrocuted Madrid
Few things have had such a special meaning for
Toni Kroos
during his time at
Real Madrid
than
Rayo
.
The rival against whom he scored his first goal as a Madrid player, in November 2014, and the team against which he has seen the goal again after a few months complicated by his recovery from a pubalgia.
An award for the German's commitment to
Madrid
, for which he withdrew from the national team despite being only
30 years old
and for which he threw himself over the goal line to avoid the
Vallecas
draw
.
It was a fun and agonizing night at the
Bernabéu
, who enjoyed and suffered with his team in one of the best innings of the season at the stadium.
Ancelotti
, who left
Hazard
on the bench for the seventh consecutive game, was greeted with
Davide
, his son, always the first on the road to celebration. The Italian added his
100th victory
as a Madrid coach
against Rayo
, the seventh to do so after
Miguel Muñoz
(357),
Zidane
(174),
Del Bosque
(133),
Mourinho
(128),
Beenhakker
(121) and
Molowny
(107 ). To do this,
Carletto
relied on
Camavinga
instead of
Modric
, with a fever, and
Asensio
on the far right.
"Bed! Come in,
" Casemiro corrected the Frenchman.
In attack, the fashionable couple in the League,
Karim Benzema and Vinicius
.
The Brazilian, already idolized by the stands, who celebrates each of his dribbles as if it were a victory.
He chanted his name for a minute after
leaving several Rayo defenders sitting
inside the area, with no final success.
The Frenchman,
"Ballon d'Or"
for an audience that enjoyed his tenth goal in the championship.
Hazard's "faith"
In the
60th minute
of the second half, the fans focused on one of the corners of the field.
There
Hazard
began to warm up
, wearing long pants to protect himself from the cold.
He received a warm welcome from the fans, aware that, perhaps, the moment of anger has already passed and it touches the moment of encouragement.
"Have faith"
, as Ancelotti has advised him.
The whistle of the night was taken by
Falcao
, a former
Atlético
who had never been able to score at the Bernabéu but who made his debut in the white fiefdom with a header, of course.
It was the 2-1 that infected Rayo's desire for a comeback and silenced the public, desperate for the steps behind his team.
Finally Hazard entered, to whom Ancelotti gave
ten minutes as a false nine
, perhaps looking for a new position as a generator of the game from the attack point when he could not compete with Vinicius.
The Belgian, who will now leave with his national team, seems very far from the title in Madrid.
"We didn't have Valverde and Modric"
"These are game moments," Ancelotti explained about the delay in making the changes.
"
I saw Karim very tired
. Besides, we didn't have two important players like
Valverde and Modric,
" he excused himself.
The Italian assured that they could score "
five or six goals
" and that the first 80 minutes were "the best of the season".
The Madrid coach had words for
Barça
and for
Xavi
, whom he wished "luck".
"
It is a surprise that Barcelona is left behind
, but it is a long league and it can come back."
