larger goals

In the battle against Levante, there are a few readings that can be made. If we look at the punishment given to Diego Rico, clearly intervening in any analysis we may make to the contrary. If this controversial resolution had not been mediated, the result would certainly have been different, as well as the conclusions.

If, however, we choose to bet on bad luck as the main cause of defeat -three woodwork balls-, we will find another way to avoid the big problem underlying this whole scenario: the disturbing lack of purpose by this team. . . because that’s true Alberola This is seriously wrong, and the impassiveness of the VAR — if it doesn’t act, it will urgently change regulations — makes it even more lacerating. Because it’s true that Real has no luck in the posts, and although Imanoltired of using the argument became non-believers, apparently fate turned away from txuri urdin, because Isaac did not do better, despite this, the ball did not enter any of the aforementioned actions.

All of this is true, but it’s not enough to explain this team’s problems to get ahead in every game. It is unacceptable that a team that fights at the top of the table and seeks very ambitious goals manages scoring numbers for a relegation team. And this is not a way of speaking, and here the numbers are strong and descriptive. Only four teams in the category scored fewer goals: two of them were Mallorca and Alavés, recognized candidates for relegation, and the other two were Cádiz and Getafe, who see this and want to keep the ship afloat. An entire League suffering the same evil and finding no cure.

What if no one is awake?

Three weeks ago, the Sanse of Xabi Alonso it gave off the smell of a corpse retreating. After re-engaging with the possibility of competing to save the category, he repeatedly stumbled on the same rock, defensively straightforward against more seasoned rivals, and ended up almost certainly distancing himself from the train that led to permanence. But here, unexpectedly, and with fewer footballing arguments than usual, the Real subsidiary played two games, against Amorebieta and Valladolid, where it was less than the rival, but where it showed more more effectiveness than usual.

And then came the clash against Fuenlabrada, where, regaining the marks of this team -control from possession and combination play-, they got the same result, three points, although they had to sign up for a painful ending. This fact, along with the processional step by which teams like Málaga and Sporting advance, has the virtue of ‘awakening the dead’, and no one has dared to set a date for the announced death, because, perhaps , no awake.

Alex was the fourth

Alex Sola makes up one of the most interesting revelations. His contribution, even scoring, has gone unnoticed, and this year can be considered confirmation of an open rumor: Real has a right back with tremendous potential. Now he will be the fourth Alex in the squad.

The black corsair appears

Real Madrid fans are waiting for the re -emergence of the best Isak, the one who dazzled half of Europe, like water in May. We waited the whole season for the return of the black corsair, and dreamed of his raids on the opposing areas, sowing panic in his path. Last Friday in Valencia we thought we saw clear signs of recovery.
