  • Chronicle Night of leader for the antidivo Joselu in Getafe

  • Opinion Madrid has nine

Seize the lead and look at the duel against Atlético with a distance of ten points. Real

Madrid

managed to climb to first place in the League with a placid match in

Getafe that

Joselu

's two goals

put downhill without Bordalás' team, undefeated in their stadium, offering any resistance. However, the match leaves consequences for next Sunday's derby.

The last play of the game may force

Carlo Ancelotti

to re-stitch the center of his defense. De Burgos Bengoetxea showed a fifth yellow card to

Tchouaméni

that will prevent him from playing against Atlético. The Frenchman was playing as a center back due to the scare that forced

Rüdiger

to leave at half-time. In a clash with Greenwood he suffered a very painful blow to the left thigh, above the knee, which set off alarm bells. Without Militao or Alaba, recovering from a torn cruciate ligament, Nacho and Rüdiger are the only centre-backs that Ancelotti can field, who uses Tchouaméni when one of the two has to leave the eleven.

With the Frenchman sanctioned, the Italian crosses his fingers that Rüdiger recovers. "Tchouaméni will not be in the derby and we hope that Rüdiger can. It is a strong blow to the thigh, but he is a warrior and I find it difficult for him not to make it to the game," consoled the coach, who made seven changes yesterday.

The calendar gets steeper and the rotations begin, ideal for Joselu, who scored his first double in the League for Getafe as a Real Madrid player, which could have been a triplet if he had not wanted to be generous with Vinicius. The Galician has scored seven goals in the League, three from headers, and 13 in all competitions. "

It is a blessing to have a forward with these conditions

different from the rest and this quality. He has always helped the team, he is humble and serious. We are delighted," said Ancelotti, satisfied with the result of this loan on which Real Madrid will have to decide in June. "He is doing everything possible to stay. He is doing spectacularly," admitted the Italian.

Equally complimentary was the performance of

Luka Modric

, a starter who played the 90 minutes after joining the bench. "He played a perfect game and was the one who handled possession best. He controlled the right

tempo

," praised the coach.

Two matches to hit

Real Madrid added six consecutive victories yesterday and climbs to the lead with 57 points, with two over Girona

and

ten over Atlético de Madrid. They will be the next rivals to visit the Santiago Bernabéu in two duels in which the whites could deal an almost definitive blow to the League.

But Ancelotti does not want accounts from the milkmaid. "

If we win we will have six more points and that will be good

. We are on a good streak and the team is doing well emotionally. It has been seen that in this match we have been engaged from the first minute and we have handled it well, something that was not easy," he warned.
