Unless football comes back to their aid, if it does, the results are good. The Madrid in Mestalla after another triumph that clarifies their difficult moment and the lack of strength of some rivals in the Liga, impotent as in the case of Valencia. It was enough for him to win with weak arguments that will not work in other stadiums. There is a tendency to fall into the easy analysis that physical appearance is Madrid’s main headache. The temptation is there, but the reality is different. What Madrid is missing is football.

From that point of view, the eleven that lined up the blackboard Not because of the names, but because of their configuration with laughs outside your favorite area. Yes, there were understandable decisions such as the bet on David Jiménez on the right side to return the Valverde to the center of the field. Relocations cannot be eternal. And the youth player complied with rigor and dedication despite having to face falls from Danjuma. In the other profile, Racing returned from his controversial substitution before the Ray. Nor was it natural to do without their services.

But Madrid shined again their football complexes. That’s what happens to him. He does not have a convincing game plan, nor does he know how to attack sunken blocks with a defense of five players like the one he had. Corberan nor is he capable of shaking up his offensive either. Arbeloa’s team was flat, without a worked strategy and with a midfield that did not provide solutions. Valverde, Tchouameni y Camavinga They put in legs and effort, but not too many ideas. It is difficult to explain why Güler leaned so far to the right. Despite his irregularity, he is the only player competent to provide a point of distinction in the middle, and removing him from there is of no benefit to Madrid’s already limited attack.

Arbeloa also tried with Camavinga delayed at the start to give Carreras room and ended up shooting Mbappé on the left, almost the only thing that worked for him. Half. Because Madrid’s general traffic jam against a well-established Valencia was reliable testimony of what their football is today. Without thought, clarity and packaging. Luckily Carreras saved him from another mess and Mbappé was in charge of putting the final signature.

To his credit, it should be noted that Madrid had greater solidity at the back than usual. The work was noted in the coverage of Tchouameni and Camavinga. Besides, Huijsen gave a better grade, Asencio He was expeditious and the way he defended more closely in his own field meant that he did not suffer excessively. In that sense, Valencia’s cooperation was evident. Corberán has also lost his team, alerted only by the appearances of Beltran or isolated individual plays of Rioja or Danjuma. In Valencia, as in Madrid, there is also a football problem.

He laughs, por dentro

The times that the Turkish player appeared in interior areas, there was a leap in the quality of the white attack. This pass behind the Valencia defense for Mbappé gave rise to a clear chance for David Jiménez in the first half.
