Two weeks ago, when the Real Madrid carried the Classical in front of the FC Barcelona (2-1) in Alfredo Gave Stéfano, just after winning him to the Liverpool in the gone of the quarter-finals of the Champions League (3-1), the madridistas were the favourite group to carry the two titles that were contesting, by his intensity and deployment of his players. In these five days, the Madrid was effective ofensivamente (with Vinicius Jr, Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio enchufadísimos) and to defensive level went back to be reliable, going through fearsome midfield for his two rivals.
Days afterwards, the White House held in Anfield (0-0) and obtained his pass to 'semis' of the Champions and, without shine, kept firm. Afterwards, they began to descolgarse of LaLiga and can that it happen him bill in front of Chelsea. The true is that in question of a week, the ones of Zinedine Zidane empataron two of three parties and, with five days ligueras for contesting, have gone down practically of the train of LaLiga, waiting for what can happen in front of the group 'blue'.
In front of the Betis, the madridistas looked for the goal, presionaron high and suffocated for the moment to the verdiblancos, that knew to keep firm in the most important moments. However, the Madrid was not clear of what could or not doing with the balloon, although had to Luka Modric, Casemiro and Benzema in the field, three of the leaders in the team. It noticed , more than what expected Zidane, the absence of Toni Kroos that, with passes sensacionales, can create danger of where does not exist at all.
In the defence, the good news for the French trainer, is that the things are working and the paper of Nacho and Militãor is being providencial, accompanied of Thibaut Courtois that scares completely the danger and that this Saturday, in front of the verdiblancos, had an anthological intervention to save to his, taking advantage of also of a monumental failure of Borja Churches. The Galician arrived only to the area madridista, trusted and, when it was to kick with his right leg, Courtois and Modric threw him on to avoid that it finished comfortable and the balloon left was.
The true is that in the Gave Stéfano, as well as it happened in front of the Getafe, the party was for the Madrid, but remained without answers. Once again the ghosts that have accompanied to the Madrilenian group did act of presence in the night that the ones of Zidane more needed to win to put pressure to the Barça and Atleti in the classification. The fault of precision in the last pass and the intermittent intensity of the players, especially of the forwards, went back to punish to the Madrid.
The offensive problem endless
To Benzema can him recriminar little. Against the Betis generated practically everything, but was only. Rodrygo And Marco Asensio were desconectados and the few opportunities that cuajaban, remained in at all by fault of decision. Zidane looked to the bench and his only 'solution' was Eden Hazard, that does not know if improvement or worsens the situation. The Belgian returned after long lesionado and left good feelings, but did not reach to be determinant and remained, again, with the idea that it could have done much more.
For Asensio, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. (That it went in in the second part) the situation is alarming. After happening some weeks to 100%, the Majorcan has gone back to 'fall' and his paper is every time less determinant, leaving to his step a lot of doubts. With Rodrygo, still worse. It follows without reencontrarse with his best level and goes back to remain distinguished. 'Vini', that ingresó to the desperate field for marking, went back to have problems to concretise the played and failed a very clear occasion, after a contragolpe, that could have meant the goal of the victory.
Care with Chelsea...
The ones of Zidane will not have rest and this Tuesday will go back to the film with a party of life or death. They will receive to Chelsea in the Gave Stefano, by the 'semis' of the Champions League, and in this eliminatory could finish the season for the madridistas, considering always the big level that has showed the group 'blue' from the arrival of Thomas Tuchel to the bench. This Saturday, before the Madrid punctured, lyou londinenses won by the minimum in front of the West Ham to settle in the fourth square of the Premier League.
And the reality is that Chelsea can do him a lot of damage to the Madrid. The English have improved notably his defensive facet and, with some forwards madridistas to which costs him horrors desequilibrar in the rival area, the situation can be very complicated.
