From Asensio to Asensio

One Real Madrid in obvious physical and game decline, he saved the furniture with a hard-fought victory against Alaves thanks to the goals of Marco Asensio and of vinicius Jr. The victory does not cover up the bad moment of the whites, still disoriented by the defeat against PSG and rescued again with a genius from Asensio as happened two weeks ago against him Granada. vinicius He calmed down by completing a great collective play and finding himself again with the goal after more than a month of drought.

Madrid lacks spark and has regressed in all aspects of the game, also conditioned because core players like Casemiro and Benzema are very stiff. But in the precariousness Asensio and Vinicius emerged to ease the pain of Ancelotti’s men, who, given what has been seen, are not few. The defeat against PSG hurt and these three points are a bandage on the wound.

The Italian coach continues without reacting despite the fact that his team has been transmitting worrying signals for too many weeks. Without going any further, he did not correct himself after a very thick and erratic first half of the Madridwith players out of focus like Asensio, casemiro O Mendy.

but persisted Ancelotti and found a prize by giving confidence to the Balearic player, who resolved again. The coach, yes, waited until the 82nd minute to make the first changes. Strange.

For Asensio everything changed in just two minutes. After sailing in insignificance during the first part, the Spaniard aroused the wrath of the stands with a blunder in a transfer to Courtois that almost ended in a goal from Pere Pons.

Practically on the next move, Marco Asensio He made the ‘house brand’ move that already unblocked Madrid against Granada. He received on the balcony of the area, he accommodated the leather and his left-handed shot had no response from Pacheco. The winger, enraged, faced the stands and demanded to change the whistles for encouragement.
