Anoeta, first class port – AS.com

Solna model. This is the name in the European Union of the best known formula for the integration of immigrants and refugees on the continent. It occurs in a municipality north of Stockholm that is part of its metropolitan area and in whose cemetery Ingrid Bergman or Alfred Nobel are buried. Alexander Isak was born there, the son of an Eritrean teacher, and there he became a footballer, at the AIK. He entered at the age of six and came out at 17, having become the youngest player to score with his team (16 years and 199 days) and with the Swedish national team (17 years and 113 days). It was in the winter of 2016. Madrid gave his first steps in this policy of discovering footballers before they were priceless. He visited Valdebebas, they explained the plan to him and decided that at his age Borussia Dortmund I would offer more possibilities. Three years later he was at Real scoring two goals at the Bernabéu and kicking Madrid out of the quarterfinals.

“I soon saw that I had something extra, something that others did not handle. He understood the game, he was technical, he finished with both legs, “explained Nahom Ghidey, his first coach. also of Eritrean origin. “He is explosive in the first five meters”, adds Henok Goitom, also raised in Solna, also of Eritrean origin, also a forward, who played in Ciudad de Murcia, Valladolid, Almería and Getafe. Isak was not quite right. In three years he only played 24 games for Borussia Dortmund, which ended up giving it to Willem II, a modest from Holland. There he threw the eye the real. He had scored 14 goals in 18 games and took on the challenge of investing 10 million in it.

Holder

Substitute for Willian José in the first months, his 16 goals turned him up the ladder. In his second year he had taken the Brazilian off the track. In this, the third, he has six goals and he is, with Merino and Oyarzabal, the most relevant player on the team. Odegaard’s friend, a hip-hop and NBA enthusiast, is the great threat to Madrid today (follow the game live on AS.com).

La Real, third in the table, arrives in full braking. It is the lowest scoring team in the top seven. Although eliminated from the cup To the Pulido Bakery without disheveled, he came from chaining two of the three defeats he has suffered this season. If until then he had overcome the plague of injuries, now they begin to weigh. Today will be missing Merino, nuclear player, Silva, Elustondo, Carlos Fernández, Monreal and Illarramendi and yes it will be Oyarzabal, recovered from a fibrillar tear that took him away for a month. He has never scored a goal against Madrid. Port, one of the few starters in the Cup and last realistic scorer in white fiefdom, points to the bench. His goal at Panadería Pulido is the first he has achieved in eight months.

Carvajal returns

For Madrid, the toughest stretch of ascent begins. After Anoeta he receives Inter and Atlético with a concentration of effort in very few legs. The squad is strewn with missing persons, from Isco to Hazard.

A small remodeling was expected against Athletic, which did not come. And it also seems difficult to happen today. The return of Carvajal, who rested Wednesday, is taken for granted, and Rodrygo’s tenure for the unowned position seems likely. The Brazilian and Asensio have played almost the same minutes, with twice the number of goals from the Balearic Islands. That is the only real rotation of Ancelotti, although this time the entry of Valverde is not ruled out, who arrives fresh after having overcome his injury, due to housemiro. It is not the best season for the Brazilian and he comes under threat of suspension for next week’s derby. He has no natural relief (Camavinga is much less positional) but he is not tireless either. Madrid will play knowing the results of Seville, Barça or Atlético. What you will not know is whether that is an advantage or a disadvantage.
