Coming to the first stop -if it can be stopped in a World Cup- of the Qatari event and seeing the first matches of each team, at the level of Madrid many conclusions were made and almost all of them were good. Let’s go to them.
1
Asensio
Remaining
The Balearic winger, a starter in the attack of the national team, was one of the most active players in the defeat of Costa Rica (7-0), participating with purpose and having a great influence in the attack, as it was necessary Real Madrid will do
two
Courtois
Remaining
The Belgian goalkeeper once again saved his team, in this case the Belgium team, by saving a crucial penalty in the first half of the match against Canada. In fact, with the final 1-0 for the Red Devils, the save was decisive in avoiding a tie.
3
Fede Valverde
remarkably high
The Uruguayan, although he could not get the three points from his debut as a World Cup player, put up a fight until what were his final months at Real Madrid. In fact, he was chosen as the MVP of the match because of his courage, physicality and dedication which, in his team, was also unquestionable.
4
Modric
remarkably high
Like Valverde and with more reason, Luka Modric has been the beacon that has guided his team, Croatia, despite the fact that they did not go beyond a goalless draw against Morocco. The ’10’ game continues to be the most sensible and, above all, the most sought after. He is the player who completed the most passes.
5
Tchouameni
Noticeable
His first game for France in a World Cup was as a starter and the truth is he lived up to expectations. He lasted 77 minutes on the field and was seen with confidence and being the same player who in recent months has shown himself to be at an elite level at Real Madrid
6
Vinicius
The height
His debut, given his level, could have been better but the truth is that fewer balls reached him than those coming to him in white. However, he dispatched all the dangers of the Brazilian team in the minutes he was on the field and actively participated in the play of the first goal.
7
Rudiger
Stop
Despite Germany’s good form in the first half against Japan, the unexpected defeat and the responsibility of the defense in the Japanese goals meant that Rüdiger did not go far despite the fact that he could be one of the best players to the German team. .
8
Rodrygo
Stop
This is a misleading note because the Real Madrid footballer could only participate in the last 15 minutes, when Brazil’s match against Serbia was already resolved and in which he did not participate much.
9
Hazard
longing
The only suspense of the first World Cup matchday for the Real Madrid players was taken by Eden Hazard who, despite starting for Belgium and playing 60 minutes, barely stood on the pitch.
10
carvajal
no score
The right-back remained on the bench for Spain throughout the game and did not play a single minute. It is possible that, if La Roja is good, he could have minutes.
Eleven
camavinga
no score
He also had no minutes in the France-Australia match, but that could change on the second day since, given the plague of injuries plaguing the world champion, he could possibly enter the duel against Denmark.
12
military
no score
The last player of Real Madrid and another footballer without minutes. Despite the fact that his level is very high, the canarinha defense formed by Thiago Silva and Marquinhos seems unshakable for Tite.
