RAL VARELA
ORA secret to put this first reflection of the morning into context. Right after the game in the Bernabu a WhatsApp message to Javier Tint and Oliver Prietotwo great friends and the best thermometer to measure the feelings of Real Madrid fans.
“If Lamine had been there, Ancelotti would have been fired at half-time…” I write to you provoking and exaggerating in equal parts. Whoever puts Lamine, puts Haaland, Kane or the watered-down version of Messi in Miami. Anyone with a little more aim than the aforementioned Leweling either Fhrichforwards of the Stuttgart that even if they were wrong they were not right.
One of them told me that the grades are given in June. True. The other reminded me of an indisputable fact. One year, invincible. It is also true. And it is that since January 18, Madrid has not lost a match. It was at the Metropolitano, in the King’s Cuphe Atleti falls in the Saudi Super Cup which the Whites won several days before and the break that seems to be going to be so decisive next week was already so on that occasion with the tie in favour of the Colchoneros. An exception was that adverse scoreline given what happened afterwards.
In fact, if this Saturday they are able to at least draw against the Espanyolthey will accumulate 38 rounds, that is, an entire league without knowing defeat. The last one in the regular tournament dates back to September 24, practically a year, also in the Metropolitano, when that experiment of playing with Modric and Kroos together it worked so badly.
Yesterday neither of them played as starters. Modric He had a moment in the second half and Kroos, on his withdrawal, turned into the milonga that justifies everything, surely smiled thinking that that phrase he said at the Etihad, (“Madrid always comes back”), indeed, always comes true. He plays terribly, unbalanced and unstructured. Only one goalkeeper and one striker. Courtois for and Mbapp mark. 5 in 7.
History has left us some teams that always won. Arsenal of Wengersome Bara of Guardiola or that one Madrid with Zidane who had a B team as good as the A team. Now we are witnesses to this Madrid of Ancelotti, don’t kill them because they will do it again. They are the worst invincible team in the world.
