The best / Merino He was the most present realist in the game and demonstrated his trade
It was another match of little brilliant individual performances, but Mikel Merino at least was consistent in his contribution. Given the system change implemented by Imanol, the Navarrese played closer to Zubeldia, and, in addition to winning almost all the aerial duels as usual, he participated more by playing head on and associating with his teammates. In the second part, he connected better inside with Oyarzabal, whom he found in the play of the goal of Januzaj. He was the most participative realist with 83 touches the ball, 63 passes and even dared with five dribbles. None of it was worth to add a single point.
Remiro
Responsable
Their 1-0 error is blatant; nothing was wrong and he gave the ball to Duro infamously. And at 2-1 he remains nailed to the goal, favoring the pipe to Mata. He did not intervene any more, except to catch easy balls.
Zaldua
Pundonoroso
It lacks spark, but its spirit is commendable, which led to forcing the early yellow cards of Olivera and Duro. A show taking balls above.
Aritz
Stained
He was carrying a remarkable game of vigilance to Mata and to close his area, that of right center. He tried to connect inside with Isak and Oyarzabal and was not far from scoring in a corner. But it was very soft with Mata at 2-1.
Le normand
Youngster
He committed a pipiolada with Duro, who looked for him to trample him and fell into the trap, although he had stepped on him before. In the center of the rear, he showed his usual levels of impermeability.
Pacheco
Grown up
The rookie started very tense, but he let go until he scored a very good game. She hovered over Mata until she couldn't breathe and dared to make long passes inside. In one of them, after a bankruptcy, he served Merino in the genesis of 1-1.
Monreal
Insufficient
He reached the bottom line more often than other times, but did not find his teammates on the shipments. Another one not found.
Zubeldia
Castaway
He was doing a neat job as a midfielder, going strong in duels and wanting to rase near Merino, but he was wrecked when Imanol placed him central. He yielded an unfortunate throw-in that led to the final 2-1.
Januzaj
Goal scorer
He put Real in the game with his great uncheck and shot at goal, the third of the season in the League. The whole team looked for him above and below, but all the balls slipped away until the break. Then he was comfortable and Real noticed it when he was changed.
Oyarzabal
Assistant
Insistent search for the slow '10' to decide on the first play. His best contribution, the goal pass.
Isak
Unattended
Follow 1,000 miles from what it was. He wanted to break behind two slow center backs, but did not succeed and was discreet assisting inside. He mishandled the ball he had against Soria to Monreal center. In February it would have been a sure goal.
THE CHANGES
For your
Artifice
It always seems that it is going to revolutionize the game and ends without contributing anything.
Willian José
Horrifying
He did not give a single ball to his teammate and did not reach a ball in the area. It is fatal.
Zubimendi
Strong
He imposed his strength.
Näis Djouahra
Late
In 88 ', little can be exploited for its explosiveness.
COACH
Desperate Imanol
He changed the system and dared to line up a rookie like Pacheco. His team reacted after a pathetic first half, but the changes turned the game back in favor of Getafe. Can't find solutions
