Direct This is how we live the Sheriff-Real Madrid
"The thunders of victory sound,"
Gavrila Derzhavin
wrote
in honor of
Aleksander Suvorov
in
Russia's
first national anthem
. Suvorov, 'generalissimo' of the Empire at the end of the
18th century
, 'the great captain of the Russian army' who, they say, never lost a battle, gives his name to the main square of
Tiraspol
, the capital of the
Independent Republic of Transnistria
, protectorate of
Putin
with hammer and sickle on the flag, province of
Moldova
and host of
Real Madrid's
comfortable triumph
.
On the penultimate night of the Champions League group stage,
Alaba and Kroos
paid tribute to Suvorov and shook off the Madridista "thunder of victory" with two shots. The hammer and sickle were his. In 1942,
Stalin
created the '
Suvorov Order
', which rewarded successful actions on superior enemies. That's what the
Sheriff
tried
, encouraged by a crowd that shouted in Cyrillic chants in memory of the mother country in the stands of the millionaire sports complex that
Viktor Gushan and Ilya Kazmaly
, the former
agents of the KGB
and owners of the Sheriff empire, raised. It did not serve a Madrid that learned the lesson of the defeat of the first leg, as requested by
Ancelotti
, and that only allowed the initial ecstasy of those of
Yuriy Vernydub
. Nothing more.
He started Madrid stretching his wings, with
Rodrygo and Vinicius
making the team fly under the helm of
Kroos and Modric
. In recent weeks, the Croatian is playing more than expected and that is appreciated by the Whites, who intertwine their lines and reach three-quarters of the field easier. The band
Carvajal
and Rodrygo with Modric as the third tip of the triangle, was the most effective of the first section meeting. The Spanish winger and the Brazilian winger exchange supports and breaks in attack and the Balkan serves as a pitcher. Thus came the best options for
Madrid
, with several passes to the holes of Carvajal and Rodrygo that their teammates failed to finish.
Benzema
warned with a goal disallowed for offside in the 9th minute, after a shot from Kroos, and Rodrygo defined too softly on
Athanasiadis
minutes later. Kroos dominated possession and little by little he bottled up the Sheriff out of sheer inertia. Relying too much on the counterattack, aware of their limitations and with the ticket to the
Europa League
achieved, those from
Transnistria
backed away too soon, forced by a rival who needed to win so as not to be forced to greater heights on the last day against Inter .
At the beginning of the siege came a hard foul from
Costanza
on Casemiro on the front, perfect for a left-hander. Last season, the only player capable of taking a free kick like this with the left was
Asensio
, but the signing of
David Alaba
in the summer has expanded Madrid's chances. The Austrian's launch hit the net after a defender deflected it and put Ancelotti's men ahead. The 0-1, which at other times could put the madridistas to sleep, further activated a squad that
wanted to make it 0-2 as soon as possible
. And he achieve it. Carvajal was able to score after a good combination between
Mendy
and Benzema and then Kroos, on the edge of the break, ended the play of the game with a great goal. Modric filtered for Rodrygo, who started and made a wall with Benzema before leaving the ball dead for the German who, first, pocketed the ball delicately in the squad.
In the second half, Madrid remained
ruthless, forceful and authoritarian
. The rest did not fall like a valium on those of Ancelotti but rather activated the hunger for goals that the team already demonstrated in
Granada
. This Madrid, at this time of the season,
does not manage efforts
or doubts when it comes to overwhelming its rival. Benzema scored the 0-3 after the intermission with a good shot from outside the area to ensure, in case there were doubts, the victory. There was more than half an hour left, enough to see the less usual, but Ancelotti spent the required changes first. Nacho entered for
Alaba, with muscular discomfort
, and
Blanco
he waited until '83, when Casemiro finally rested.
Carletto was not completely trusted, with the ticket to eighths insured.
A draw against Inter will leave Madrid the leader
.
