It is paradoxical that in a game with so many players on the pitch (in the Real Madrid up to 21 different ones participated) the most complicated thing is to find a protagonist. Although it also helps that summer is not a time for exhibitions and the Vegas Classic, in a madridista key, proved it that way. No merengue shone more than its equals.
In any case, he did. Courtois, as was usual last year, but that was in the final stretch. The Belgian, with three stops high, did not avoid defeat but he did blush more and that, given the new and logical image of the white team in its summer debut, is enough.
The brilliance of absence
Such was the story Hazardone of the most colorful names of this duel without BenzemaIt hardly made any noise. And that he had a fairly simple bar to overcome and high hopes placed on him: his first Classic, his summer of metamorphosis, his new position as false ‘9’. But nothing.
It is clear that 45 minutes, which are the ones that the Belgian footballer was on the pitch, are not necessary to draw conclusions. Not even in a sport like football where everything is black and white and there are fewer and fewer grays. Even so, it is no less true that he barely entered the game with the ball and that he continued to be somewhat timid when entering the battle of the divided plays.
However, in the Madrid they do not lose hope and, if they continue in good conditions, they are confident that it can return to being the Hazard of before. He trusts. And that is the most accurate passport to end up taking off.
