From Tacon to Real Madrid: this is how the white project has changed

Women's Real Madrid is already a reality this season. After a year in the shadow of Tacon, who even played and trained in Valdebebas, the first Madrid team in this category is already rolling through the fields of the Primera Iberdrola. And he does it with the feeling that things are starting to go well. Gone is the fight for the permanence of Tacon last year, in which the team left worrying ups and downs, which even dragged some disappointment for the white fans.

A situation that took a great turn with the arrival of the Real Madrid shield, which brought profound changes in the women's wardrobe. The Madrid club kept Ana Rosell in front, president of Tacon and now of the Madrid women's team, and David Aznar, coach who directs the Madrid women after having achieved promotion and permanence with the taconero team.

In addition to these two figures, the current squad has thirteen players from the defunct Tacon. Neither has anything changed at the training and match venue, Field 11 of the Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas being the place where the female team exercises and plays, just as it used to be last year.

What has changed is the game, feelings and results of the team. If we compare the league start of Tacon and Real Madrid female we find two very opposite poles. From a team that had a hard time fitting into the top category to one in which he fights for the greats to make the leap to the Champions League positions, from which he is separated by two points. From the five points added by Tacon in the first nine days to the sixteen that Madrid accumulates in the same period.

The difference is not only palpable in numbers. The new Real Madrid has managed to clear doubts both in attack and defense, improving the game that was presented in the previous season. Thus, the team led by David Aznar is the fourth highest scoring team in the Primera, after adding 15 goals, and the eighth fewest, after conceding nine goals.. In the absence of a match, which was postponed by COVID-19 with Levante, White is fourth in the standings with two points less than Barça, which is third with three games less than its rivals.

Asllani consolidates as a star in Real Madrid

New stars have also been admitted, including the rebirth of the cracks who already wore the elastic of the Heel in the previous campaign. This would be the outstanding case of Asllani that, after a very unnoticed season with the heel team, has managed to rise as a benchmark in the white attack. The Swede is top scorer in the Primera Iberdrola with eight goals and has led Real Madrid in these early stages.

Asllani is joined by his compatriot Jakobsson, who has already excited about the Tacon. And, like a great fresh air, footballers arrived who have burst with strength and quality in this League as Marta Cardona, Maite Oroz, Ivana Andrés, Misa or Kenti Robles. Their names represent the first and new stars of a Real Madrid that begins to build its history with great strides. The illusion is chewed in Valdebebas.

It will be difficult to reach out and kiss the saint, especially with the high level and competition that is presented in this First Iberdrola, with a strong commitment to several clubs. However, and despite the fact that there will be no pressure to win titles immediately, there is a clear aspiration to be one of the three teams that gets the passport to play the Champions League.
