The wounded from a bad night

Real Madrid is out of the Cup, at the first change and against a Second B like Alcoyano that endured the initial downpour, tied shortly before 90 and in extra time it became enormous to prevail 2-1. Zidane, in a display of confidence that Madrid has not exactly justified this season, arranged an eleven full of new faces, only with two regular starters such as Casemiro and Lucas Vázquez. Of the rest, many had not played for months, which was clearly noticeable; others tend to count more as revulsive or incidental headlines, but they did not measure up either. Several were singled out.

Lunin

The official debut of the Ukrainian with Real Madrid, more than two years after signing for the white team and after transfers to Leganés, Valladolid and Oviedo, was to forget. First and foremost, due to the defeat, since it leads him to not have more minutes in the remainder of the course; League and Champions are from Courtois, just in case Madrid takes the league title weeks in advance (unlikely) or lets go and has nothing at stake in the final days (right now that option seems closer) Lunin could play again in 2019-20, except for the Belgian's injury.

But the Ukrainian also left many doubts in his first official match in white. Being a goalkeeper of important stature, with 192 centimeters, his overlooked doubts were enormous and conveyed much insecurity to the team. He made several faulty punches clearances that created options for the opponent. And it was transparent: Alcoyano finished off three times and scored two goals, Lunin only stopped a centered header at the exit of a corner. At 1-1, he didn't dominate the airspace well; and at 2-1, Juanan slipped the ball through his post, a gap that was his obligation to cover.

Marcelo

The one who was captain of Madrid in Alcoy improved compared to his previous matches, noting that the work he is doing in his free time with the physical trainer Adolfo Madrid is bearing fruit. However, he suffers a curse this season: he has played eight starting games, of which Madrid lost five, drew one and won only two. Against Alcoyano it cannot be said that the goals were his direct responsibility, as it has happened on other occasions, but the second half was very long and it did not contribute as in the first, let alone the extension. It was also a machine to lose balls: 32. He left the crash with an assist to Militao, but also with a controversial image: their laughter with Isco before the extension, without giving importance to a risky situation and that ended up being catastrophic. In addition, despite being the captain in the absence of Ramos, he did not face the media after the match; only Zidane appeared in front of the cameras.

Isco

The other one who was laughing with Marcelo before extra time, after 90 minutes in which he started very participative, but went off quickly. He complained weeks ago that Zidane gave him little starter, he soon took him out of the games and when he took him out, he did it in 80 '… But the man from Malaga did not hit the table on the day he was supposed to give it, he was not even very neat in the pass (78 good of 96) and lost many possessions for Madrid (29), although he was hard-working (12 recoveries). But he did not give depth or arrival to the team, Valverde being much more present at the arrival and to test José Juan.

Vinicius

The Brazilian started in white playing in Segunda B with Castilla, and not so long ago. The stage is no excuse for Vini's party, who once again did not take the opportunity to pressure Zidane and convince him that he deserves a place in the eleven. He left before the start of extra time with a single shot on goal, a heads-up in which he could make the 0-2 and solve the ballot; He again showed that the completion is not his thing and in the next play Alcoyano tied. He was also not particularly participative (22 good passes out of 24), he faced little (lost eight balls) and worked less (a recovery). He left the site to Asensio, who in just a few minutes had already improved his participation; It was a day to send a message to Zidane, but Vinicius got into trouble again.

Mariano

It was the first change for Real Madrid. Zidane withdrew him to give Benzema entry and incidentally cool his spirits, very heated throughout the game due to the lack of chances created by the team. He could barely make 12 passes, 8 of them good, took a yellow and flirted with the second. He left only a far left foot in the hands of José Juan. In a game to put on his overalls, he could not understand that his work was to wait and wait until the opportunity came; Desperate, he claimed it from his teammates, the desire to convince him in a new ownership could be and after the departure of Jovic, which has paved the way. In his discharge, Benzema did not improve white's offensive performance at all: not a shot in more than 50 minutes by the French.

Hazard

Nor as a revulsive. The Belgian continues to disappoint as a Real Madrid player, his ownership was expected to roll and win the form point again, but Zidane reserved him. Already in extra time, he pulled him to unblock the team, but his presence was hardly noticed, except in the first minutes in which he left Asensio alone against José Juan with a good wall. But he did not leave shots on goal and lost four balls in the 22 minutes he had. A new disappointment from the Belgian, and there are quite a few.
