Casemiro Wear the ax with gloves. Where it is needed, it is blunt; Where it is necessary, it is subtle. East Madrid Without strikers, for injuries, punishments or bisoez, you need to fill the basket anyway, and the Brazilian asks for the time in all queues. Again, as in the Super Cup, the midfielders put what the strikers do not put: the goal.

This time it was Casemiro's turn, twice, to advance Madrid on several occasions with unexpected appearances in the area. In the first, gently lift the ball over Vaclik; in the second, he finished off in the place of centrals that did not wait for him. The Brazilian found the only riot in the well-woven network of Lopetegui, to which the VAR provoked an attack of anger for a foul that seemed like basketball. Sevilla, who left the Bernabu indognado, was better in many phases.

The mediocentro seg what he could in his area against a well-distributed rival and with an interesting replica of the Real Madrid player in the figure of Fernando. A good acquisition over Monchi. But the best, however, was in their incorporations, ahead of Kroos and Modric, even, to become the unexpected guest in the Sevilla area. The second of his goals was the best example of the situation provoked before the defense.

Casemiro decided a bad encounter of a Madrid that lacked a lot in the start, as well as the heart, the lung and the fist. In other words, Sergio Ramos, Valverde and Benzema. For every absence there are reasons of force, whether they were injuries or penalties, although the French aguard in the fallow of the bench and in the second time jumped into the field. The initial loss of who else has the goal, which is not all necessary, did not cause the return of Bale, despite training normally all week. He arrived at Bernabu 12 minutes before the game and left eight before the end. Ugly, although it complies with the club's internal regulations. The moment you feel stronger, Zidane Speak clearly without saying a word. Jovic and Rodrygo did not accompany the purposes of his coach, except for the first heel in the first goal of Madrid. For now, the heel is the only thing we have seen of a signing that is not Achilles. Little bit.

In addition to Jovic and Rodrygo, Zidane gave minutes to Lucas Vzquez, out of focus and rhythm. This season was like opting for a discontinued player, but Galician always did Zidane good services. In the second of the white goals, he was the assistant.

The weight of absences

The first of the great absences hurt Madrid in the hierarchy of the start of the game, the exit of ball that Sergio Ramos gives to the team. Little weights that facet of the captain, because his exuberance eats everything else, but it is a Tarzn who knows how to play pool. Varane and Militao they don't have the same foot, nor such a throw. Sevilla took the opportunity to put the locals in trouble in the first phase of the game. Kroos and Modric, ahead of Casemiro, are little able to help their classmates.

The second low priv to Madrid of energy and surprise, since the young Fede Valverde He is not only a recuperator, but as he settles, he discovers his inner vocation, with the ability to break lines and reach the area. Casemiro, in his arrivals, put precisely something of what the Uruguayan player contributes, absent by the decisive hunt of Morata in Jeddah.

The Brazilian, in short, did everything to save a strange party at the Bernabu, between absences, hangover from a title and in front of a complex guest. Only in the second part, more open, with goals and the tickle that always causes Vinicius, deep and determined, made Madrid grow. Sevilla had good team stuff but not great team. He could get ahead with the auction of From Jong, canceled by the VAR when interpreting a blocking of Gudelj of which there are hundreds in the areas, but the Big Brother of football has changed everything. What needs to be clarified is the criterion, and the proof is the action that allowed De Jong to tie, at which start the ball hit the elbow of Munir. The tool that had to end the controversy has redoubled it. The problem is of those who handle it. Casemiro, on the other hand, is driven anywhere, this time to sleep leader, waiting for the Bara de Quique Setin, the last esthete.
