Jakobsson and Cardona, luxury 'partners' at Real Madrid

Marta Cardona and Jakobsson. Jakobsson and Marta Cardona. The order does not matter. If they go together or separately. Both show great facility to present that last pass that pushes their team towards the goal. With three assists each, Spanish and Swedish are the best 'partners' of Real Madrid, in which his performance goes beyond goal passes. And it is that the one of Zaragoza adds three goals, being a little less in the case of the international with Sweden.

But, the value of Cardona and Jakobsson for Real Madrid has nuances that cannot be measured with figures. His unchecks, his careers on the wings, with support in defense and attack, and his great imbalance turns them into two footballers of great weight for David Aznar's plans. Few dangerous plays do not pass through the boots of some of the two players.

For this reason, it is not uncommon to see that both Cardona and Jakobsson belong to the group of six players who have participated in the nine games played by white in this league start. The two have started in eight of the nine games, coming off the bench in which they remain.

It should be remembered that one of Zaragoza's goals came after jumping onto the pitch against Eibar (1-3) in the only duel he started as a substitute. It was his first goal as a Real Madrid player and it would not be the last, reaching two more goals in a row against Athletic (1-0), passed by Jakobsson, and Betis (0-3). As for his assists, the extreme skill gave two in the win against Sevilla (5-2) and another against Depor (3-0). It was precisely in these last two games that Jakobsson added his first two goals this season.

There is no doubt that Cardona and Jakobsson are two of the indisputable pillars in the Madrid attack. If both are fine, Real Madrid levels up their game and presents more bite and danger. A fact that those of David Aznar cling to this Wednesday, when they will face Levante (14:00) in the only duel that they have postponed due to COVID-19. It will not be just any game, but the air of an early end is already breathed. The Granota team fights for the European positions, the same ones that White can reach, ahead of Atlético, if they win in the city of Turia.
