Approved and suspended of Real Madrid against Alcoyano

Real Madrid lost at Alcoyano's home with a highly debatable performance of several players, in a match in which a Second B took Zidane's team to the limit and ended up winning. This is how the Marseilles pupils played.

Lunin: Very calm first half, he made a good save by overlooking a header from Mourad, but the play was canceled for offside. He caused doubts with a very defective punch and in the 1-1 Solbes did not dominate the airspace, although in his defense he said that he had a huge barrier of his own and other players. Then he was nervous in those high balls, strange in a player of his size (192 centimeters). In extra time he was lucky that a clear shot went to his hands, in the center of the goal; then he did not keep the site at 2-1 for Juanan, the ball entered his post. It was his official debut with Madrid after more than two years of his signing. It started well, remained regular and ended up going bad.

Odriozola: good in defense despite not having minutes since September 30, 2020, without major errors. In attack, little favored by an irregular playing field, but arrivals were allowed to the end line topped with low-danger crosses. He made the long game and left the place in 98 'for Hazard.

Militao: first goal for the Brazilian with the Real Madrid shirt, who is revitalized by the match after having fallen into oblivion, surpassed by Nacho in the head of Zidane. He entered with power and headed well Marcelo's center, something he had already done minutes before, with a stop by the Alcoyano goalkeeper. Mourad gave him some war, but in general he managed well. At 1-1 he was able to do more to intercept the center that ended in a goal from Solbes. It caused a clear penalty in favor of Madrid that the referee swallowed, before extra time.

Chust: official debut of the central Castilla in the absence of Nacho. He showed poise and good manners, the emotion of the moment could not him. He cut well some against dangerous Alcoyano and was neat with the ball. Good premiere, despite the defeat; on the 2-1 play he gave Alcoyano too much room to move, exhausted after almost 120 minutes.

Marcelo: You improve physically and it shows, the work you are doing outside the office helps you. Omnipresent at the top, when Alcoyano entrenched himself throughout the first half, it ended up being the best white resource to find cracks; in fact, his was the center measured for Militao's 0-1. From so much being up, he conceded back, but between Militao and Chust they covered his back well. With 1-1 he put Lucas a good ball for 1-2, but the Galician met José Juan. The extension was quite long, although it gave him to test José Juan. He ended up in pain after a left foot.

Casemiro: Good game for the Brazilian, reaching all the covers and narrowing all the spaces left by the sides, especially Marcelo. Faced with a close rival and with a complicated lawn, he understood that it was a game for the fine stylists to risk and gave that prominence. He could not stop the 1-1, a general empanada of Madrid overlooked in a corner. He went on the attack after the draw, with more presence in the area. It caused the expulsion of Ramón in extra time. To his bad fortune, he lost Juanan's mark in Alcoyano's 2-1.

Valverde: the Uruguayan discreet, not favored by a grass not very suitable for circulation and with a locked rival. However, it provided defensive deployment and a certain arrival; his was Madrid's first attempt, a dry right hand cleared by the Alcoyano goalkeeper. Then he left a good ball to Vinicius, who fell asleep before finishing. Pajarito's dispensable match, who had the 2-2 in the last play, but crashed his volley in Solbes.

Isco: it started with a lot of prominence, combining on the left with Marcelo and Vinicius. He looks better physically, with more spark, although he is still far from his version of past years. Long drives that did not favor a locked Alcoyano, the second part was a long point. All in all, he left a drop of class before the end of 90 minutes, with a beautiful center that almost ended at 1-2. He left in '98 for Kroos to enter.

Lucas Vazquez: a lot of work and good chances, he was in fact the Madrid player who generated the most danger; In the first half, with a control in the area at the turn and a shot that was cleared by a defender; and in the second with a long shot that José Juan cleared. After the 1-1, he was about to score with a faulty header to the center of Marcelo that José Juan cleared. With the entry of Hazard and the departure of Odriozola, the right-back game ended. It almost caused a penalty, the foul was inches from the line and seconds before Juanan's 2-1.

Mariano: desperate, the shortage of opportunities put him on his nerves and led him to play in a state of excitement that not even suits him. In fact, he took a yellow fruit from those haste. His best chance was a left-footed shot from the front easy to stop for the Alcoyano goalkeeper. He left in 67 'for Benzema to enter.

Vinicius: little of the Brazilian, despite the fact that he started with a lot of prominence and had chances to finish. First, after a good combination with Valverde; and then, in a counterattack in which he controlled a long pass with his chest well, but then it was night. In the second half he had the 0-2 moments before 1-1, in a heads-up game in which he kicked the doll. Days like this are the ones that you must use to claim, Vinicius is not going through his best moment. He left after 90 minutes and made way for Asensio for extra time.

Benzema: jumped at 67 'for Mariano to give clarity to the white attack. He succeeded in a way, but the match escalated after the draw. He had the 1-2 before the end, but crashed it against an opponent in a hubbub inside the area. A good ball crossed Hazard to which the Belgian did not reach. Then he served a good low center after individual dribbling, without finding a finisher. He did not find the hole and Madrid missed it.

Asensio: left at the beginning of extra time instead of Vinicius. He started on the left, with Hazard's entrance moving to the right, his preferred position. There he was close to causing a penalty; Sánchez Martínez did not consider it that way. Seconds later, he touched 1-2 with a low shot that José Juan took; a dry shot that was poison. It was diluted during the extension.

Kroos: entered in 98 'for Isco to refresh the midfield in extra time. He accumulated a lot of ball from the beginning, but without too much weight.

Hazard: he entered in 98 'for Odriozola, in an attempt by Zidane to put a spark in the Whites attack, very scarce. Instead of clearly positioned to the left, he became an improvised playmaker and made good combinations with Asensio. He was able to make it 1-2 after a good assist from Benzema, but he was slow to reach the ball. When he went to the band, it was seen again that he does not have the overflow that he should.
