Valladolid – Real Madrid (0-3): Mbappé multiplies

For the purists of the Spanish language, “Hat-trick” sounds to rays. But it is already a common word in the world of football and, therefore (like Pucela, by the way), a word that has been installed in the daily conversation. It is shorter to say “hat-trick” than to tell that a footballer has scored three goals. It is easier to say that, of course, mark its. Mbappé has cost more than thirty games, a brief but intense walk for the desert and a reflection about his game, but has already succeeded. His three goals against Valladolid are the confirmation of what we already knew: Kylian is already here.

And with him, step by step, like the wounded who is recovering without hurry but increasingly with more enthusiasm, Real Madrid is making its way from the upper part of LaLiga’s classification. The Ancelotti team is settled, with an already decided scheme, recovering players like praise, maximizing others as Asensio, changing hierarchies such as Ceballos and finally taking out, gold from whom it has to be the differential player: Mbappé. The Frenchman has already taken pace, and his companions and fans enjoy his full performance. They are already inside those who were out and already part from the right centimeter to avoid the offside. Kylian scored the three goals to Valladolid and solved a little bright match, but without any risk for the leader. Atlético had tied before, Barcelona plays tomorrow, so Real Madrid, the vapuled team a few days ago, the one who has doubted so much, that he wanted and could not, sends in the table with decision and solve his games safely and without fear.

Because the rivals already have a lot of respect again. It happened to Salzburg in the Champions and Valladolid, La Colista de LaLiga. The history of the two meetings was similar: they come out with some mood, they try some attack play and think that if they sleep enough, they could take something positive. Then they receive a goal, and it is like giving Bruces against the stubborn reality: their impotence against a much higher rival and that is already clear how the games win.

It wasn’t a very bright Madrid because Valladolid barely let him run. It was the first rule of the local team and was right: the only time Madrid had an open field to fly, marked the second goal of the game.

That lesson was done by Valladolid. So well that it almost gave the impression that he did not care so much to win and prevent Madrid from playing. It was a very flat team, very aware of his weakness. Others from the same level have tried to do more damage to Madrid; Valladolid wanted to end the game with the least possible goals against. The defeat, more or less, gave it for done.

The truth is that Real Madrid had a hard time hurting the opponent because he could not find a way to enter. With Asencio as a right side, the entire team attack overturned through the left wing in such an exaggerated way that Brahim, so resolutive other days, went through the clash without attracting attention in attackbut with great professionalism in defense. Fran García climbed on the left, was Rodrygo, Bellingham fell and Mbappé appeared. Among the three they built a goal of precision and speed. He ended with a wall between Kylian and Jude, two players who speak the same language.

With that goal, Valladolid and Madrid already knew that only the number of goals that were going to fall. There were only two more because Madrid was not in a hurry or urgency. He saw him so clear, he felt so little threatened that he only had to wait for his chance and find Mbappé. He did it against a quick and then in a penalty, who again threw him again: with the interior, as only the one who has already stopped thinking about how to throw them out.
