A Madrid thrown into the derby

NO Real Madrid appears this Sunday in the first Derby of the 2021-22 with the sixth gear engaged and with no signs of reducing that speed. Against Atlético a white team will be presented that smiles and an Ancelotti that all the pieces fit. The triumph over him Inter It was the ninth consecutive victory, the defense and Courtois have become an armored division and from then on everything is going much better than last season at this point. A duel against the great rival of the city that It can be a pedal stroke for Madrid to escape almost definitively through the League…

On a roll and armored

Madrid’s nine wins are not by far the best streak with Ancelotti (he set Madrid’s record in 2014-15 with 22 wins in a row) but they show that has hit the key. Nobody in Spain equals that, but neither are the great outsiders. City have only had a seven-game winning streak this season and Bayern and PSG eight. Back the thing works. Madrid accumulates three games without conceding a goal (348 minutes and adding) with Courtois unapproachable and favorite to Zamora. He has 64 saves, the most productive goalkeeper in the five major European leagues.

Better with Carlo

This Madrid is distinguishing itself from that of Zidane last year, also in the most purely numerical aspects. He has four more wins than last season at this point (17 to 13) and has also shot up in the director’s section. They are 16 more goals than Madrid stuck last year. In the preview of Mallorca, on September 21, Carletto he still saw his work far from being rounded. “We are at 50 percent of our potential …”, he admitted. If the Italian were asked today, he would surely raise that percentage quite a bit. Inertia is more than positive.

Militao, huge

Against prognosis, because that role seemed reserved for Alaba, the Brazilian has become the Kaiser of Madrid. He has played everything except the Los Cármenes game. “It’s great”, his coach congratulates him. In the Champions League it has risen and is the one that steals the most balls, 45 in this edition.

Kroos and the Trinity

The 8 Blanco has taken flight and, freed from the burden of matches with Germany, does not need to spare any effort. Handanovic’s left-footed shot is his third goal of this season and he already equals all those he made last season. Modric it is not lagging behind. Against Inter it was Man of the Match and launched a proclamation of youthful spirit to the world: “I feel like I’m 30 or younger …”. The two unite this Casemiro in a physical bump.

The power of Vinicius

Friends it has become the terror of defenses. The Sheriff said it: “He is the most destabilizing in the League.” It is recognized by its victims and reinforced by the numbers: 12 goals and seven assists in 22 games. He has come from scoring in three of the last four days, he knows what it is to score in a Classical and now he has the incentive to make his debut in a Derby.

No injuries at last

Ancelotti complained at the beginning of the course that the failures were due to injuries. Since Carvajal and Mendy have returned, the team has coalesced behind and the infirmary, with the exception of Benzema, is almost empty. Bale is very close to returning, as well as Ceballos. A Madrid in the state of a magazine …

Jovic gets on the car …

Madrid is in a state of illusion that turns on even footballers who were in the dark. This is the case of the Serbian. His goal and his assist against Real and the good continuation against Inter alleviate something that a few weeks ago would have caused panic: Benzema’s physical problems.
