Zidane gave a couple of tweaks to the team. In addition to the mandatory by low, again Mayoral place where Christian. On the right, instead of the touch of Isco, he tried with modest verticality of Lucas Vázquez .
He did not have much Madrid. Not Garrincha, okay, but has a healthy influence on the team. It brings humility, tactical clarity. He stood glued to the band and was the only one trying to outflank; the rest, frankly, is not for long.They move unless Congress ushers . It seemed that a party of mannequins against Mannequins Zara H & M.
Levante came very easily to the bottom line. Confusion between Nacho and James (how complicated is a band of Madrid). Pepe's presence was noted to repel high balls.
Casemiro stood in front of the defence. Something like a 4-1-3-2 of Madrid. Only one drawing, because often it was a 1-9-1 , being Christian that one loss, Robinson on the islands of Non-Pressure. Mayoral press that, that's why he is young.
White 's attack was as national governance. Attack, without understanding. Less mechanisms that a sundial. It has already been said Lucas, seek the soldier Lucas. It 's not a genius, in fact it is a normal footballer (in heating, kicking a door, almost decapitates a child who was at the bottom), but it opens the field well, so modest, "cruyffica" to Madridand goes to by the rival without thinking. Run like a dachshund, it is bouncy and repetitive.
James was the opposite. Without overflow, it is always late, a second later,as if playing in 'streaming' . On the left side and seems Puskas. Culón something with a little trot mess. Time to time, the lefty has it (and would be dramatic to stop being left - handed). Of the rest, little to say. Danilo sometimes seems even better leg changed, "I desdanilizado" and Kroos runs with a solitary selflessness and solidarity. But runs more than anyone.As a personal tape, without much shine. Kilometers and kilometers. It looks like a Jane Fonda video.
The match opened it , who else, Lucas Vázquez, "the one and only" : faced rival (not entertained him, would not go around haciando pass that he did Jesulín the bull, declined to bicycles hipsters to the corner, or he fled with caracoles Andalusian inspiration), faced and scored a penalty. Football sometimes comes so pressing, to droplets, as grapes are trod. Cristiano dialed, fatten his statistics, his altar "instagram".
After a few minutes, a ball came to the elegant Mayoral and shot hit the post and then Mariño, that goal was scored unintentionally. It should be noted, though, a great stop his shot Cristiano minutes earlier. The 0-2 was a relief to the tormented Madrid in recent days, but a subsequent dismissal Deyverson left alone with Navas. 1-2 was not entirely unfair.
The second half began with a bully Levante (ah, short granota bravura!) And the like Madrid, attacking where Lucas. His attempts, their Cañitos, their presioncitas were cinnamon amateur eye, both false hartísimo football.Lucas is true! Lucas is contagious football and bottom! Also liked Mayoral, fresh, fast and very generous in racing.
The Madrid attacked more. He got into rival camp. He stole Casemiro, agonized James and Danilo arrived, but when you get beat her with calluses. It was improving, despite everything, the owner at the end of all his band. The match was still open. Lopez hung a ball (where Nacho and James, Roper left the band ) that is threatening paced as Pablo Iglesias in the eyes aghast Luis de Guindos way the dais. And Christian was right about Pepe. It is the same with him than without him.
At 65, James pulled his left (you have to have you faith) A deciduous ball to Cristiano, who hit the post with effect carom frustrated.
Madrid improved his game a bit. He felt the personal effort to win the "divided balls" of which Habo Zidane. And those little individual efforts would arise, cumulatively, something I wanted to be collective. Why we have not been taught to appreciate the beauty of pressure , the coordinated effort of a football player running for his partner? You run by someone else? Think how beautiful is that.
Madrid came suffering at the end. He stopped Navas, and then Medjani brushed a corner kick. There were no more. Isco sentenced already in the discount, and it was not memorable, but Madrid won out with the cramped football and humble Mayoral and Jesse. As good as a thousand spinners.The minimum forgotten.
