The second half of the season progresses and The five footballers that Madrid has foraging outside the Santiago Bernabéu experience different moments in their assignments. Reinier still fallow and it is the one that would give the worst overall grade to your experience. While the rest Brahim and Odriozola, although winners in general assessment, have hit a slowdown. The first due to a shaky performance and the second due to a knee injury. Mayoral and Kubo they are the ones who can smile the most in the present tense. The former is important in the rebirth of Quique’s Getafe, while Take will play his first match at the Bernabéu. And it could be the last one he disputes as a rival of the club that opted for him in July 2019. Lights and shadows that form a palette marked by chiaroscuro.
Kubo (Mallorca)
Take has the confidence of Luis García Plaza once he has kept the memory of the meniscus injury in the trunk. 62 days apart that are past and now he faces, perhaps, his most special game of the season. On Monday the 14th he faces Real Madrid in what will be his sixth clash against the whites. Next year he could finally get the opportunity to officially debut as a Real Madrid player if Vinicius manages to become a national. In Mallorca he has achieved two decisive goals, which served to beat Atleti, in the League, and Espanyol, in the Cup. eight consecutive starts and his account of minutes continues to grow (they are already at 1,335′). In the last league clash, against Celta, the team changed the drawing. Three central defenders, long-distance lanes and Kubo as Muriqi’s revelation partner. We will see if in his first game at the Bernabéu he repeats as second striker or returns to his usual right wing.
Borja Mayoral (Getafe)
La Roma and Mayoral went from effervescence to coldness in just a few months. The difference was a José Mourinho who did not have the one from Parla, who had taken ownership from an entire Edin Dzeko in the first year of the loan (17 goals and 7 assists in 2020-21). In January he returned to Spain, near his native Parla, and landed on his feet in Getafe. TThree goals and one assist in his first five games, with the added bonus that in the first he barely played six minutes. Enough to launch. He fights with Sandro for being the companion of Enes Ünal, leader of the reborn azulón team. He hasn’t seen a goal against Alavés, Espanyol and Valencia, but his loan is on the path to success so far. Real Madrid, since from the Italian capital they will not execute their 20 million purchase option, will have to decide in the summer. In the meantime, he is close by to follow his progress.
Odriozola (Fiorentina)
Among the five footballers that Madrid has on loan, The one with the most ballots to return through the front door in the summer is Álvaro Odriozola. As AS already reported, the white team’s intention is for it to be the first signing for 2022-23. Of course, they will have to battle with Fiorentina, with the intention of extending their link with the San Sebastian side. In the frame viola has left the doubts in the Paseo de la Castellana and He has become a key and indisputable footballer for Vincenzo Italiano (23 games and 1,639 minutes). His speed (he has reached 33 km / h in measurements shared by the club) and delivery of him have fallen in love with the fans and Álvaro has been delighted in Florence in recent interviews. Although he has always left his return more than ajar. “Ancelotti told me that, if I left, he would expect me back in June”, he confessed to AS. At the moment he is out due to a knee injury, but it will not take long for him to go back up and down Artemio Franchi’s right wing at full speed.
Brahim (Milan)
The midfielder from Malaga He does not live his moment of greatest brilliance in Milan. On the visit to Naples, clash for the leadership of Calcio, Stefano Pioli left him out surprisingly. The first time it has happened in his season since a game against Roma in October, but that was the first time back after being out for four dates due to coronavirus. This substitution was a tactical decision, to place Kessié further forward, with Bennacer and Tonali in the double pivot. Something that he repeated this Sunday before the victory against Empoli. But this does not tarnish the confidence you have in Spanish. in San Siro they have no doubts with Brahim and they would be delighted to have him beyond 2023, when the loan agreement with Madrid ends. However, the rossoneri they need him in his initial state of form to face with guarantees the rush end and to be able to return to the top of Serie A. With that electric and vertical footballer, the devils They would be even scarier.
Reinier (Borussia Dortmund)
Reinier is still installed in a labyrinth whose exit hides an uncertain future. In January he had offers to change the scene and leave behind the ordeal that is the perennial ostracism that lives in Borussia Dortmund. He did not leave due to the thinness of the squad that Marco Rose has, but the key that closed the winter market has not served to open a door of opportunities for him. The Brazilian midfielder also has the handicap of the team’s European failure. Outside the Champions League, where he had played three of the six games in the group stage, and outside the first change of a Europa League in which he participated both in the first leg and in the second leg against Glasgow Rangers. Without Europe, the minutes are even more expensive, since there will be no rotations from which you can benefit. In total it accumulates 314 minutes, but only 63′ (the last nine against Augsburg on February 27) in Bundesliga the only competition in which the borussia. In summer it will be time to meditate long and hard to avoid more false steps.
