Although the numbers in the shirt and their correspondence with the position in the field has lost almost all its mystique and it may be a thing of old man, being the 10 of a team still maintains a certain halo, resonances of so many good players that it is impossible to forget so much past. Mbappéthis year, it is ten of real Madrid. The footballer who determines the team’s game, the good, which all children want to be. And although he does not play in the theoretical position of the ten, which was that of creation near the area, he does meet the rest of the requirements: he is the differential player of the template. And that number may have remembered and stimulated.
A Mardrid worked
It was the French who marked the only goal of the party, who gave the victory to the real Madrid and avoided a small drama in the debut of Xabi Alonso. With the goal, the coach wins another week of work, which he needs so much. He Madrid It is being done and if good things are already seen in defense, such as the pressure and attitude of the block, in attack, on the other hand, it was a very heavy team, slow almost always and without solutions for the defense that planted Osasuna.
Lisci raised the same as so successful last year in the Mirandés: five defenses, a very close team, stuck almost always and endure. If the plan included looking for the goal of Courtois We will not know. Because neither Osasuna He tried (he only arrived once in the second half), nor Real Madrid left him.
Because the signings are noticed and much. The one of Huijsen We are going to repeat chronicle after chronicle: he is a footballer who has entered the real Madrid as if it were done perfect for the mold. He was joined by a Militao Without memories of his injury and a racing that has a very good painting and style to occupy a left band that needed something like that. It is missing that Trent Find what you want to do in the team. It seems shy or too subject to tactics.
Xabi Alonso asked all the time to the defense that was advanced when he real Madrid I already attacked Mbappé and Vinicius They were delayed when the team had to recover the ball. Between the attitude of Osasuna and that of Madridthere was no discussion due to the domain of the meeting.
Madrid, against a wall
That is, it was not a dangerous game for the team of Xabi Alonso. Osasuna did not think at any time that the little time of preparation of the Madrid It was an opportunity to demand.
What did the Navarrese team well was tied back and let the time run. Thus, the game was nothing brilliant. It still warn MadridIt is still too early for everything. You have to solve Xabi Alonso The equation Vini and Mbappébecause they do not shine at the same time. The Brazilian was in a monochord tone, but it is that the Frenchman was above the level of the party,
It was he who found the loophole for the right wing, in the second half, when the game was already in danger of getting into those minutes of overwhelming without result, when the clock is already weighing. I had tried before the break, but this time it did: a play was invented on the right and an innocent Juan Cruz land made a penalty. Kylian It did not fail.
With the marking in favor, Xabi He took the opportunity to make changes. Mastantuono He had time to show that nothing weighs and Brahim You can feel threatened. Carvajal He went to the field among the public applause. AND Gonzalo gave relief to Vinicius so that Mbappé Stite on the left. It has readings that.
