Since it captures the core of the, Ancelotti regularly repeats the same simple maxim: winning necessitates winning. After Barça’s s in the Clásico shelved LaLiga, after a break of more than a week and a 15-point deficit against the Catalans, Real Madrid ran the s of coming from their break with the same mentality as individuals who return from vacation on a dreary winter Monday. defeated and ineffective. Yet he went into the match against Valladolid with caution, understanding that the best way to fly to Barcelona on Wednesday to try to overturn a 1-0 deficit and advance to the Cup final is by throwing a party, like the one that ultimately occurred. Keeping a slender body is also important to prepare for the Champions League. Also, muffle the chotis from Madrid and the bossa nova from Brazil that is being played in the background when discussing the coach’s future.
In his statement to open the game, a brave Valladolid named the adversary. He even had two solid opportunities to grab the lead in the opening minutes, but Roque Mesa’s and Monchu’s attempts both ʜɪᴛ the post and Courtois’s post, respectively. These warnings, together with the harshest one, which came in the form of whistles, woke Madrid up. It was worthwhile to put in a march and a magnificent Benzema in order to advance with Pacheta’s tactics and his players’ enthusiasm, who showed no signs of quitting in the face of difficulty. After scoring the game’s opening goal, Frenchman Rodrygo clinched the victory with three goals in seven minutes. In minutes 72 and 73, respectively, Asensio and Lucas put an end to the defeat. Given how unremarkable Ancelotti’s afternoon was, he even allowed Hazard some playing time. A helpful hand was left by the Belgian. Because they are aware that an is on the way, Madrid had a s and received a lot of good news.
💯KING KARIM IS BACK!
The gap brought on by national team commitments has been a cold shower for Benzema. He has the impression of being too lively, focused, awake, and active. He has a new wire to plug in now that he has quit France. Karim must be at his most brilliant and decisive for Real Madrid to have any hope of enjoying some success at the end of this season. Given how challenging it was to win the league, Valladolid served as his first chance to try and make a comeback in the Cup. The Frenchman regained his sense of smell and changed color to match the jersey worn by Pucelana.
In just seven minutes against the Pacheta, he scored his first goal in the championship since February 15 against Elche! After a brilliant solo effort, a right hand, a header from Vini, and a Chilean following a Rodrygo assist. Celebration of a spring With 14 goals, Benzema has re-entered the race for the league’s top scorer, while Lewandowski has dropped out with 17.
😎 PACHETA APPROACH
When Pacheta recommended leaving the Bernabéu, everyone was taken aback. To counter Real Madrid’s “s” trinity, he decided to use three center backs, five players in the middle, and a man-to-man covering of Fresneda, Joaqun, and El Yamiq. Larin, the Canadian who works for him as a mounted policeman in, was left on the bench. It was an unconvincing idea. Valladolid pushed in the beginning as if they had nothing to lose. And if you don’t seize the limited possibilities that your fervor and your adversary’s defensive passivity give you, your attitude of suggesting a two-way match against Real Madrid practically verges on the sexist. The Pucelanos had that experience.
After receiving a white gift in minute 10, Roque Mesa finished the post. A few seconds later, Monchu grazed the wood. After two warnings, the Bernabéu blew its whistle. Madrid reacted by switching up its play, and as a result, scored four goals in 14 minutes. At the interval, Pacheta changed his strategy. He knocked four defenders back, but the ss-factor was gone. Any plan is destroyed by gunpowder. Now, citizens of Valladolid must row up the river. In the wake of this extremely ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ loss, they conclude the day just one point above the bottom. The coach instructed the players to consume bile after the game.
VINI JR CONNECTED WITH BENZEMA
❌ Hasn’t made me change my mind
Ancelotti won’t ever be able to walk without Vinicius. The coach carries the Brazilian on his shoulder before every game, much like a fisherman holds a rod. With him, there is a greater chance of success. In a game where some, many, practically all were thinking on the cup match on Wednesday at the Camp Nou, Ancelotti did not spare Vini, the captain. Vini had to deal with both domestic conflicts and wars in Europe. Predictably, he stumbled again and skipped over Fresneda, the partner he had been assigned.
The Frenchman was able to score on his own after he sent a ball to Benzema at the sᴛʀᴏᴋᴇ of 28 that neither the defender nor the goalie could stop. He contributed to Benzema’s second goal, which helped extend the rout’s carpet, three minutes later. Vinicius is in charge of addition at all times. He plays on the left side of the field in addition to that…
CAMAVINGA
🚨 Little is said about…
Due to the frequent changes, the inconsistency, and the injuries, Real Madrid’s defense, which was its safest asset last season, has turned into a. The final one was by Rüdiger, who abruptly dropped out due to knee ᴘᴀɪɴ. Alaba almost left the stretcher and moved to eleven, while Camavinga once more moved to the left side as a result of this and Nacho’s absence due to suspension. Or pretty much anything because he has been playing at his best for a few months as a “3” or a midfielder. His recovery led to the play that resulted in Madrid’s opening goal, and he once more displayed enthusiasm by shattering lines.
The Frenchman had some confidence issues at the beginning of the season, but after the World Cup, his confidence was at its peak. Eventually, because he made 18 starts in 19 games, and because the flight hours provide a lot of assurance, the faith that Ancelotti always had in him did the rest. A crucial quality, such as “3,” “5”, or “8.”
🤳ASENSIO AND RODRYGO
The FIFA window provided Marco Asensio with a fresh opportunity. Ancelotti trusted the Balearic Islands while switching the formation to a 1-4-2 -3-1 with Rodrygo as the midfielder and gave the rest of his midfielders (Valverde and Modric), who are the most restricted with their teams, priority. Ancelotti must turn on the high beams to view the League. That is not unusual. The players who have experienced the most physical abuse must be given a break during these league games, and the remainder must be prepared for the upcoming games (Barça and Chelsea). Marco needs to be happier in this scenario, just like the squad does. Similarly, Rodrigo.
After Valladolid awakened the Bernabéu whistles with two errant shots and the white celebration, both of the principal protagonists were in charge of popping the champagne cork. The Brazilian and Spanish burst ruined Pacheta’s strategy, and he was not sympathetic. He hadn’t attended a party since losing to El Ahly on February 8 in the Club World Cup. A solid end to a play that saw Valladolid fall apart after just four passes. Asensio performed his after 72 seconds. A beautiful afternoon to soothe the soul.
HAZARD
📀 My ‘bonus track’
Real Madrid’s afternoon was so reminiscent of spring that Ancelotti handed Eden Hazard, who hadn’t played since January 3 against Cacereo, more playing time. Since September 11 vs Mallorca at the Bernabéu. It is clear from the public’s response that they have not missed him. The whistle that the Belgian received as he came onto the field (64′) to replace the applauded Benzema was intended for football players who have trouble forgiving.
You need not be afraid to speak the words. One of Real Madrid’s most ᴅɪsᴀsᴛʀᴏᴜs signings is now Hazard. That Chelsea star who was a Ballon d’Or contender is no longer around. His past is a total wreck. This is already a different one that is heavier, slower, and much more frightful. due to the tragic ɪɴᴊᴜʀʏ, his lack of rhythm from the frequent substitutions, or a psychological ꜰᴀᴄᴛᴏʀ. He gave Lucas an assist, but the Valladolid game—which was already badly broken when he entered it—is neither a yardstick nor a sprout by which to judge his level of play. In any case, it is always reassuring to witness a man in ᴘᴀɪɴ regaining his smile.
