Every time he real Madrid It adds several convincing games and gives the feeling of being invulnerable, hits a firecracker that forces, again, to rethink everything. It happened against him Betisa game that lost after starting winning and playing reasonably well for 25 minutes. And not playing anything for the rest of the match. He Betiswith ISCO, Johnny and Altimira In command, he took control of the party and bringing to light, again, the problems of the Madrid When things twist: the mixture did not work Tchouaméni and Modrić; The strikers did not appear and the defensive system was wrong several times in the ball plays. He Madrid It was surprisingly diluted, returning to its constant irregularity in LaLiga. It is hard for him to compete and there is not the tournament to continue leaving points in matches in which you get ahead, with everything in favor.
Because the orange set was the Madrid of the good and new times: patient with the ball, playing in the opposite field and without letting out the Betis. The team of Ancelottias if the casualties of Ceballosfor injury; Bellinghamby sanction; Valverdebecause he can’t more; and of Asenciobecause Ancelotti or wanted to continue protecting or left him again on the bench for a discussed commitment to the hierarchy in the locker room. That plan does not work well.
The very good moments of real Madrid culminated with a goal at the height of their football: a 19 -touched play that ended with a fantastic pass of Mbappéan unexpected solution of Mendy and a center shot center Brahim. All good, all very well, even.
Therefore, it was so strange, so strange, the fall of the team. It started soft and ended up being very pronounced, inexplicable, with almost all players out of place and site. An image defined the meeting: Mbappéwho had given the goal pass, was replaced by Endrick When fifteen minutes were missing and you had to look for goals. Despite his sensational pass, he did not have a good day Kylianclumsy in controls and choosing badly.
It was not the only one: with the passage of the minutes, the Madrid He began to lose all the battles and his goal was to reach the fast rival area and against. He had one, at the beginning of the second part: Mbappé and Vinícius against the two centrals. French did not barge well.
Little else. Tchouaméni I was losing presence in the center of the field with a lack of alarming precision already Modrić He didn’t give him to hold the team. Above, we have already said it, there was resignation and the Betis The party was governed, with ISCO asking them all and with Johnny reaching everywhere. The footballer has an ene and has more football than expected too. In addition, it went unnoticed for the white defense in the corner kick that was the goal of the tie. It was not the only mistake in a stopped ball play. Gave the impression that it was the brand of Modrićbut the place from which he finished has to be where the centrals send, where he sent until yesterday Asencio.
The goal of Betis He put justice to the game and definitely turned him around. Does not say much about real Madrid Do not return to the meeting. It was never found again, surpassed by the opponent’s football. The penalty of Rüdiger It rang at total despair, what else could be done.
It was already raining to pitchers in Sevillebut only the real Madrid. Ancelotti made changes: to get Endrickbut also Camavingato give dynamism to the center, or Güler. But the Turk does not have the key. Nobody had it in the Madrid. It is March, the cold returns.
