Direct Narration and Statistics
Carlo Ancelotti
had kept in a drawer some of the characteristics that had made
Real Madrid
one of the most vertical and fun teams of the first part of the football season.
Perhaps due to a physical issue, so as not to squeeze his spine, perhaps due to the lack of confidence shown in several pieces of his second unit, such as
Valverde
or
Camavinga
, perhaps due to fear of the results after the bad streak in October, with defeat included before the
Sheriff
at the
Bernabéu
, the reality is that the Italian coach settled for weeks in a comfortable and thick block that lived on the imagination of
Vinicius and Benzema
and some whiplash of
Asensio
.
Tonight, against an impertinent rival like
Real Sociedad
,
Carletto
recovered his Madrid.
Pure
Rock&Roll
.
He also did it after being pinched by a mistake by
Dani Carvajal
.
When the game gave his first passes, the Spanish international was late to a
David Silva
cut and stepped on the Canarian midfielder.
Clear penalty for
Gil Manzano
.
Courtois
, in that positive inertia that he accumulates, hit the idea of
Oyarzabal
, but he did not get to the good shot of the Basque.
It was minute 8 and the meringues were already behind.
And maybe that was the good morning alarm.
Madrid, who were accustomed to some somewhat soporific first parts in their stands, left behind the comfort of previous dates, bit like they had not bit for a long time, and hit without hesitation, as their fans ask.
The energy of Camavinga and Rodrygo
The entries of
Camavinga for Kroos
and
Rodrygo for Asensio
, one forced by injury and the other within those timid rotations managed by Ancelotti, gave the locals ambition.
La Real, confident after having found the 0-1, waited too long and aroused the high pressure of their rival.
The physique of the young French midfielder is a mine for the coach, or should be, in a circumstance similar to that of Valverde.
And the energetic breadth of Rodrygo, spicier than Asensio, helps the system work.
Minute by minute,
the pressure from Madrid drowned out Real
and gave them situations in attack.
Several shots from Casemiro, a foul from Alaba, the classic starts from Vinicius... Until the fury of the 40th minute arrived.
A whiplash from Camavinga
from 30 meters, slightly deflected by Illarramendi, landed on the left side of Remiro's goal to tie the match and to reward the virtues and defects of the young French midfielder, talented and somewhat disjointed at the same time.
In one breath,
Gil Manzano annulled a goal from Benzema for rigorous offside
after a good steal from Camavinga and in the next breath of Real came the indescribable
Luka Modric
.
In full madridista effervescence,
the Croatian sent a colossal left-footed shot to Remiro's right-hand side
.
In just three minutes of '
pure Real Madrid
', Ancelotti's team turned around a complicated duel and generated excitement for the mother of all matches this year: on Wednesday against PSG.
deserved sentence
The whites did not slow down after the break,
launched by a physicist who accompanies
.
They were able to sentence on several occasions, stealing near the rival goal and being vertical, but
Remiro
always appeared avoiding the sentence.
And if the goalkeeper did not do it, the
VAR
appeared , which managed to notify Gil Manzano to annul Benzema's 3-1.
From the arbitration room they also called the referee when he signaled a foul outside the area on Vinicius.
It had been inside and a penalty.
And there yes,
Benzema added to his account the twentieth goal of the season
in the League in 27 games, on the way to a top scorer that should not escape him.
The goal did justice and reassured a
much superior Madrid
, both in pressure and energy.
The white team found spaces behind the Basque sides and did not waste them.
Carvajal, who had made the 0-1 mistake, avenged the mistake and won the baseline to assist Asensio in the fourth goal.
The Balearic, starting theoretician on Wednesday, had entered for a Rodrygo who wins integers for the duel.
The substitutes for the suspended
Casemiro and Mendy
, still up in the air.
