Is Real Madrid ready to start the Champions League? No, no and once again no! The team did not please the eye with the content and quality of the game before, and more in the first game after the selection window. In the first half of the informative match on the field of the “Alfredo Di Stefano” stadium something strange happened. Cádiz had less than 27 percent of the ball, but beat Real Madrid in shots on goal. And in terms of hitting the target, there was an overall defeat.
Álvaro Negredo, if he had had better control of his chances, could have made a double at fifteen minutes. And if Lozano had also scored, it would have been a win. Lucas Vázquez tried to save the face of Real Madrid with his moment, but it was an unfinished episode. Cádiz played better.
After the initial activity, the guests did not stop, except that their attacks bumped into Courtois. Specifically, the Belgian won melee against Juan Cala. However, this could not last long. “Cádiz”, playing the second number, stuck “Real” needles under his nails, this is how the image of this match looked. The bleeding wound was inflicted by Lozano’s needle, released by Álvaro Negredo, the failure of Ramos and Varan, the helplessness of Courtois.
Helplessness at the time, but not in general. Thibault is almost the only one that Zinedine Zidane could not have claims to. Even despite the moment when the goalkeeper missed the ball under his gloves (when leaving the goal, the Cadiz striker did not find his bearings). Courtois rehabilitated himself beforehand with a save after Lozano’s blow, although it was not he who needed to be rehabilitated, but the field players.
After a mistake, to be fair, “Real” slightly modified his eyesight. More precisely, I aimed at the target. Lucas Vázquez scored, but from offside, then Modric finished off the bottom, and at the end of the half, Vinicius surpassed him masterfully. This is not agony, but the actions are clearly convulsive.
Zidane’s meds didn’t help in the form of four substitutions at a time during the break. Real Madrid was active in terms of ball control, but this activity did not pay dividends. The rivals acted in an organized way in defense, leaving no space for Madrid. And wit is not about the “Real” today.
The Vinicius moment at the beginning of the half? Individual work. Hitting the crossbar after hitting Benzema? Spontaneous lunge. Karim’s goal? From a frank offside position. “Real” failed this game on all links. Perhaps there are no complaints just against Courtois.
Madrid is not ready for the Champions League, it is not ready for El Clásico, which will be played in a week. And such conclusions are derived not only from this party. Zidane’s team advances with a creaking noise that hurts their ears. If nothing changes, the moment is not far off when one wheel, or perhaps even two, will fall off the cart.
