Madrid gets stuck before the ‘Submarino’ and gives excitement to the League

The Real Madrid follow at odds with the goal. Three days after visiting PSG, the white team was unable this Saturday at La Cerámica to beat the goal of the Villarreal, which already ended his visit to the Bernabéu with another 0-0. Madrid, without Benzema but with Bale as the starter, suffered in the first half and grew in the second, but the video scoreboard did not move. Of the 15 points disputed in this 2022, he has already seen seven fly, and Sevilla is still on the prowl at only 4. There is League.

Benzema still absentsurprised Carlo Ancelotti lining up Gareth Bale in the starting team as ‘nine’, with Asensio thrown to the right and Rodrygo, Hazard and Jovic on the benchnext to a Reserved Modric for the crucial event in Paris for the benefit of Faith Valverde. The World Cup qualifiers are approaching, where Wales will play for a place in Qatar with Austria, and Bale is trying to fine-tune his form for what is undoubtedly the most important moment of the season for him. And Ancelotti does not blush for taking advantage of it despite his history and despite the fact that he had not played for Madrid since August 28, 168 days ago.

Rulli shines against Bale

The Welshman took 20 minutes to touch his first ball, although on the verge of the break he had Madrid’s best chance in a hand in hand with Rullithanks to a great pass from Casemiro, which the Argentine goalkeeper sent to a corner with a providential hand.

The first half was turned aside. Chukwueze I brought out the colors over and over again Marcelo While Vinicius tested a Foyth who in recent hours has been placed on the radar of the white club. At 23 minutes he took the yellow card from the Argentine, who would have to measure himself a lot since then in a very hot game.

Asensio Stomp

Vinicius took a innocent elbow in the Albiol area, who played the expulsion and the penalty, although Sánchez Martínez limited himself to scolding him. “I don’t see him coming and if he had hit him, I’d make him bleed for sure,” the ex-Madridista argued later. “He has collided with my arm. If I elbow him, he leaves the field. He himself has recognized me.”

Villarreal demanded the expulsion of Asensiowho was able to destroy Iborra’s ankle by stepping on him hard while trying to do a roulette, but he only saw a yellow card, and the first part ended with protests from Vinícius, who demanded a blow to Parejo’s face.

Villarreal was better in many sections of the first half. A killer pass from Chukwueze after 5 minutes did not enter the auctioneer when he only had to push it, Marcelo touched just enough a shot from Danjuma to send the ball to the post and Courtois had its moment of brilliance in a shot from Alberto Morenoalthough the break was reached after Rulli saved Bale, a warning of what was to come in the second half.

Madrid came back from the locker room with one more march, forcing errors when Villarreal got the ball out and enjoying many chances. Bale shot the crossbar (m. 56) after another recovery by Casemiro, Rulli once again showed off in a one-on-one with Vinícius (m. 58) and Bale forgave in the area for not daring to shoot with the right (m. 64).

Marcelo’s scare

The ‘Submarine’ seemed to be sinking, docked in its area and living on the wire, while Unai Emery He asked his players to calm down and play slowly. When they succeeded, with Vinícius already tired and Bale on the bench, Villarreal grew again and prowled Courtois’ area. The Belgian goalkeeper got a good scare in a lousy loan from Marcelo. The Brazilian threw a pumped ball at him that, after bouncing in the area, was about to pass over the two meters of the Belgian goalkeeper, who with a difficult blow sent the ball to a corner.

Both teams seemed to surrender to an immovable 0-0 until the game went crazy in the final minutes. Courtois half slipped a ball from his hands before showing off in a one-on-one with Estupiñán that would not have been worth offside.
