The match was a procedures for Real Madrid. There was nothing at stake and it was noticed. The Berlin Union He came out determined to surprisery Behrens touched the goal with a very clear shot that saved Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Basque goalkeeper showed many reflections in an action of merit. Within a few seconds, The Germans worried the goal again of a Real Madrid that decided then rest with ball. The next few minutes were total white dominance before a Union locked behind with a classic 5-3-2.
The first white opportunity came with a good pass from Lucas Vázquez and a quality cut and shot from Bellingham Who saved Ronnow. Joselu He then touched the goal with a forced finish. The player, on loan from Espanyol, had his best chance in a header that repelled the crossbar. The game was dull and had a tiring pace. The Berlin Union did not take any risks, armed behind, andAncelotti’s men played with the confidence of those who feel superior..
They played and played the ball but without any intention or quality. Barren possession that would not continue to worry Nenad Bjieliça’s team.
VAR negligence
What happened ten minutes before half-time has no no logical explanation. Nacho deliberately stepped on a rival and the referee Rade Obrenovic did not see it. It can happen. What is inexplicable is that No one would warn from the VAR and that the television production would not consider it necessary to repeat the attack. of the white youth squad. With everything, Bellingham saw a yellow which could cost him dearly, since if in the first leg of the round of 16 he is reprimanded again would miss the second leg.
Modrid fails and Union surprises
In the final stretch of the first halfand livened up the game with an innocent penalty forced by a local defender que Modric did not know how to take advantage. Penalty taken clumsily that repelled the local goalkeeper Ronnow. When the first part was dying, a Union Berlin’s vertical delivery was defended in a grotesque manner by white defense They sang loudly Lucas and Alaba and Volland scored a goal as surprising as it was unexpected. he sleazy approach of the Germans had a prize thanks toat the pleasure of a Madrid flat and boring.
Second intense part
The resumption began with a new local notice with a Gosens forced header that touched the second goal. It was a mirage. The real Madrid accelerated and created chances clear. A volley from Lucas Vázquez and a Joselu’s header saved by Ronnow were the prelude to the goal of the white tie. Joselu headed into the red in an action that Germans protested with insistence. They were absolutely right Joselu fouled his marker but Neither the referee nor the VAR wanted to take obvious action and somewhat invalidate what was totally illegal.
To have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League, Union Berlin needed to win but the Germans justified why this season they have added an amazing streak of twelve consecutive defeats and they are at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings.
those of Bjieliça was innocent in attack and soft in defence. AND Joselu, very motivated, he took advantage of it with his best weapon. The forward formed in the f.Celta’s grassroots football once again finished off with a header. to the net taking advantage of a center from Fran García. Madrid needed very little to come back.
Madrid relaxed and paid again. When it seemed that victory could not escape him, Union Berlin tied with a long shot Delaware Alex Kral. Little hardens the joy of the locals, since Ceballos with a cross shot placed the final 2-3. Madrid added its sixth consecutive victory in a very affordable group.
Ancelotti’s confidence in the quarry
Nor the fact of having numerous casualties nor the inconsequentiality of the match They encouraged Carlo Ancelotti to bet on Factory players. Only Nico Paz had minutes. In fact, the Argentine midfielder replaced Ceballos in the 90th minute and was barely able to come into play in added time. The rest of the youth players he was left wanting to participate. Like a good Italian coach, Ancelotti is very cautious and cautious with young people and more if they are not signings and it is about footballers who play for Castilla.
To the Madrid coach It costs him a lot to dare with the white youth players who have to settle for a very residual role. Mario Martín, Gonzalo or Vinicius Tobías they stayed on the bench without being able to participate in a match in which nothing was at stake the white set. Ancelotti is coherent and He does not give his fans minutes of these young people which he barely counts on. So far this season only the midfielder Nico Paz has had some minutes (60) while the presence of Gonzalo has been a testimonial with only 17 minutes played.
In a favorable context with a loaded schedule and a plague of injuries Anceloti He has not trusted the talents of the white youth team. fans nostalgic for Quinta del Buitre you may ask When can the opportunity come for these players? that grow in the renamed Florentino Pérez Sports City.
