The smile of Gonzaloas soon as the referee whistled the end, it cannot be counted. You had to see it, shining huge on the face, impossible to erase. The scorer striker of the Castilethat with its many has taken the team from Raúl From the well to think about better things, he squeezed his fists, received hugs in Butarque And I probably didn’t know how to handle the torrent of emotions. A few minutes before, in another good ball of Brahim (who got tired of putting good balls and playing football), Gonzaloin the small area, in the place of the strikers a lifetime, he turned his head, as he did throughout life Santillanato put the third goal of the Madridwhen there was no time left for more and it was no longer possible for him Leganés Take.
Because if he had done it before, with the two goals that the team had put Ancelotti and that they had to have closed the game and the classification for the semifinals. But, as happened against him Celtiche real Madrid He got carried away, lowered the tension, something that usually does in many games of this season, and saw how the advantage escaped and had to reach the extension. And if something does not need this team are more minutes on the legs during this February. The head turn avoided that and prevented the real Madrid Reach Saturday’s derby with a bad taste.
The team of that meeting with which it came out in Leganésat least in names, although in defensive problems it looks like yes. He does not find safety back, where the casualties have shattered confidence. In the Cup match, Ancelottibecause I had no choice, he opted for Asencio And another canterano that points a lot: Jacobo Ramón. However, unlike Gonzalo, Ramón He went through the game with too many nerves and little security. They are major words debuting in the defense of real Madridand the young player paid it a bit. He came well to some cuts, but he lacked. It was he who made the penalty that approached the Leganés.
Before, the real Madriddespite starting with some doubts, it had been made with the game thanks to the distinction they gave him Modric, Brahim and Rodrygo. Between the three they rose the level of football and the Leganéswhat so many problems had caused Barcelona and Athleticduring those minutes, it seemed like a minor team. Brahim It is to be more protagonist, while Rodrygo He is making it very clear that he expresses much better for the left wing. His problem is that, when he was replaced and went to the field Viniciusdid not lower the level of danger on that side. Maybe even went up, because Vini He put himself in an unbalanced plan and, in that plan, which has not reached in the last month, there is no one to stop him. Before, with Rodrygothe goals of the Madrid On that side. The first of an indefatigable Modric And the second of Endrickholder and attentive not to miss your occasion. It has a payroll of strikers so wide real Madrid that Endrick and Gonzalo They scored the goals and they are likely not to play a minute against the Athletic and few more during the rest of the season.
He Madrid He saw everything so easy that he took it too calmly. The one who spent it worse was Gülermiscariated, especially at the beginning, unable to take advantage of. Behind him, on the side, he was Valverdeand that position did sound like a general essay for the days. It is not clear that it was an essay of Tchouaméni In the center of the field. French did not do it wrong, although he was lost in one of the goals of the Leganés. Was Juan Cruz who signed a feat that will be forgotten by defeat: he scored the two goals of his team, the second with an invaluable help of Mendyto tie a party that seemed totally lost.
In favor of MadridIt must be said that he did not discourage or fell apart. Started again, thrown by Vinito take the clash. Against him, that the Leganés He made two goals and has no defenses because of the injuries.
Front yes. Young and very happy.
