The Ray of Iraola, solvent behind

Rayo's preseason is leaving clues of what Iraola's team will offer this 2020-21 and one of its pillars will be the solvency behind. The franjirrojos have signed two clean sheets and they have conceded a single goal in three games, quite flattering data, after the records of the last campaigns. The Vallecano team received 50 goals last year (19-20) and the previous one (18-19), in First Division, ended up being bottom and the most thrashed in the category, with 70 goals against. So that that was one of his pending subjects.

Special mention deserves the youth squad Morro, who has been the starting goalkeeper in all three stakes and it has carried them out with note. The Madrid native has taken a step forward without the injured Alberto and with Dimitrievski recovering from the positive for coronavirus. Beyond the statistics, the goalkeeper has made great saves. Without going any further, against Fuenlabrada, he had two almost miraculous interventions, first stopped a shot by Pathé Ciss in the small area (34 ') and then a direct free kick by Javi Gómez that would have meant the tie (84').

However, defensive strength it has not been the only quality evidenced by this new Ray. Iraola has implemented new concepts such as high pressure, a more vertical game (the objective is to shoot more on goal and the completion of the plays), bands gain importance … Meanwhile, the Basque coach continues to give minutes and watch his players in order to make their first eleven league. Before that debut against Mallorca, the franjirrojo team will play its last friendly on Wednesday against Real Madrid.
