The real Madrid is one step away from being new league champion. The white team, after a brilliant season, he only needs one point in the five remaining games to sing the alirón and the first ‘match ball’ he has is against Espanyol. those of Carlo Ancelotti They know that, drawing at home against the ‘parrots’, they will lift the trophy that accredits them as champions… but the heads of the players and the casualties could play tricks on them at the Bernabéu.
The leader of the League is having a season that, at the moment, can be described as remarkable tall: with the title of the Spanish Super Cup already in their showcases and the domestic tournament practically in their pocket -because it is only a matter of time to know when they will win it-, the Champions League seems like the main open front for the team chaired by Florentino Perez. For that reason, and due to the notable absences that the team has, rotations will be the order of the day this Saturday.
Ulises Sanchez-Flor
So, interestingly, the less usual players could be the ones in charge of giving the final blow to the championship and win the title in front of their fans. Many wondered a few days ago when it would be better for Madrid to sing the alirón, fearing that a celebration between the two semifinals of the Champions made the team lose the focus of European competition. But Ancelotti settled the debate with a phrase full of wisdom and intentions.
“The great tennis players win their matches on the first ‘match ball’ they have”. Almost nothing. It is, without a doubt, a warning to sailors of what he expects against Espanyol: that his team does not make strange accounts and close the league as soon as possible. In fact, he is convinced that winning the title will not only not mislead his squad, but will serve as an incentive in search of the last (pen) comeback of the season. He is sure that lifting the title will be the boost the team needs against City.
It is true that he has not had much resistance from his main rivals, but it is no less true that much of the blame lies with the steamroller that Ancelotti’s team has become. Madrid knows that the moment of truth has arrived, the moment of not failing and showing that the League has a first and last name. However, sportingly, several substitute players will be in the game and many of them only have a handful of minutes in their legs.
Ancelotti: “If we have to celebrate, we’re going to do it”
The Madrid’s main problem is in defensewhere it has numerous casualties. Nacho Y Military they are low due to accumulation of cards, to which we must add the injury of Praise and the doubts with Mendy. Between the absences and the need not to force hits to have them available to go to the Champions League match, Ancelotti will have to form an unprecedented defense that could be made up of Lucas Vazquez, Marcelo, Vallejo Y Gila either Casemiro instead.
In midfield, Ancelotti confirmed that both Ceballos What Camavinga will be headlines, most likely shielded by Kroos or Modric in the medullary Finally, the Italian coach confirmed that between Benzema Y Vinicius surely one of the two will play, possibly with Marco Asensio as one of the fixed companions. the doubt between Marian and Isco It will be the one that complements the third member of the attack trident.
With a simple draw, Madrid will be able to sing the alirón of a well-deserved League, the second in the last three seasons – last year he was one goal away from being champion – and with the possibility of confirming that his season is one of many carats. And what greater joy for Madrid than achieving a much-desired title before the last grand final that remains at the Santiago Bernabéu… and, incidentally, ‘provoking’ a remembered corridor in the Metropolitan. But that is already another matter.
The real Madrid is one step away from being new league champion.
