2-0: La Real start strongly

It’s like months haven’t passed. A retroactive picture of the good football that Real produced for a whole season where the runner-up was based on effectiveness, which depended on good invoice or intensity. Superiority over almost all rivals as a result, exactly the same as the presentation of credentials enjoyed by the fans on a sunny afternoon in Zubieta. The spectators proved that life in the Z7 remains the same: Real won, convincingly, beat Villarreal with authority and Nerea Eizagirre put on his boots.

The first three points of the season outline an ideal debut in the F League. The mental slingshot demanded by the players for Tuesday’s historic Champions League match is based on the recognizable springs of the Arroyo era. If anything, as a nuance, some mistakes in defense that could give wings to Villarreal, but without consequences. Those in the Mediterranean were destroyed whenever they stretched.

For Eizagirre to shine at the helm of operations, to control the most dangerous actions, for Real to prevail by possession, for the advantage to be too short for the chances created, it is very important that the profit has of shape five minutes in the league. A dream start, courtesy of a Jensen that presents itself as an absolute discovery.

The Norwegian has been putting judgment aside since the preseason. A phenomenal volley proved his summer goals were no fluke. Eizagirre crossed and Jensen scored with his left foot, airborne, soft and delicate, as if he stopped a little in the corner from four three. Nerea Eizagirre continued to delight with passes, drives and breaks inside the area that Gaby finished in the sky.

If the game was a carbon copy of last year, Real’s second goal had the same virtue as the first: it was just beginning the second act. Eizagirre kicked a corner which Lara Mata cleared into her own goal. Lete quickly deflected Villarreal’s most dangerous cross and, soon after, Gaby, Franssi and Gemma, hitting the crossbar in a strategic move, saved the third. La Real won and gave Bayern a warning: life goes on.
