The new Madrid was only helped by Osasuna and some sparks by Kylian Mbappé. An reckless entrance and out of the central Juan Cruz just around the break knocked the French within the area and that penalty sentenced a gray night of the whites, who finished the evening by resorting to Football Control. Neither when they found a leg jungle or when they handled the advantage with more spaces, Xabi Alonso’s boys showed great advances in the game. If perhaps, amendment signs to be more energetic when recovering the ball was the only thing that the white side could point as improvement. Too much thickness before a very pacato reddish set in attack to which the entire castle fell with the mistake of his defender. Those of ended up being victims of the plan of the teams that come out and then do not find solutions.

The first day of the course, Madrid fell one of the most damn exams of the Liga agenda taking into account the characteristics of his center of the field and attack. The young Italian coach resorted to that old inclination of his maternal school and set up a double defensive trench with three defenses on the axis (Boyomo, Catena and Juan Cruz) plus two midfielders with callus (Torró and Moncayola). The consequence during a long stretch was, denied what he likes most: spaces.
Yes it raised lines to quickly steal the ball, Vinicius stuck a race back and the reds were two worlds in the curtais garnish, but already. So far their progress came. I was still missing the usual: fine feet in the core to filter balls. Overcome the agitation of the premiere at home, the appointment was falling into a usual stage in the whites in the last year.
The intermediate came that they will not be off the top, another old scene. The Frenchman had had the clearest until then, a shot to the long stick that he lacked aim. Everything else was summed up in a succession of disruption shots that immutan very little to Sergio Herrera. Vinicius had no runners to run and his various attempts for the band did not bear fruit, Brahim passed on tiptoe, Güler was located without great footprint in the three-quarter area, Alexander-Arnold advanced to another match in silence, and Tchouameni and Valverde showed that the meeting landscape was not very pleasant to shine. So, except for that attempt by Mbappé, Madrid’s offensive was reduced to a long -distance pitched waterfall from his Militão, Huijsen and racing rooms.
Madrid found relief before the game. With the staff, still accommodating in the seats after pause, an imprudence of Juan Cruz knocked Mbappé, who had won the background in an action that was only the product of a personal adventure. The Frenchman, already installed by the route as an executor from 11 meters, cheated Herrera.
The 1-0 had no miraculous effects on the Madrid game, but really active to Mbappé, which was not a small thing. The Frenchman, who left some filigree, stretched again on the right and stayed at a nail to emboca the second in a center. But without allies around him, the flood of the Gallic did not go from episodic in the middle of the bit.
The collective functioning of the premises was not very there and Alonso had Carvajal for Alexander-Arnold, after another night in the shadow, and gave Mastantuono flight for a discreet Brahim.
Madrid’s difficulties sounded old, but some of Xabi Alonso’s measures are a novelty. Vini no longer completes the games yes or yes. Before Osasuna, again it was relieved by lack of a quarter of an hour and with the score even in the air. The one who did not appear was Rodrygo Goes, a sign of his current position in the locker room, and more with the arrival of Mastantuono.
A high header from Budimir fired the tension in the Castilian, although Osasuna’s attempts did not reach much further. The rigorous red to Abel Bretones for knocking Gonzalo García raided the outcome of a little stimulating night from Madrid.
