HARD DEFEAT IN LA CERAMICA
From Mendy's mistake to Ancelotti's mistake: The ghosts of Madrid return
Real Madrid fell to Villarreal and it has been evident. Between the errors and the lack of forcefulness, the White House has gotten into a "mess" that can be lethal in this course
The Real Madrid arrived to The Ceramics with the possibility to return, provisionally, to the leadership of LaLiga in case of empatar or win, waiting for what did the FC Barcelona against the Athletic of Madrid. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti remained to half gas and left in sight all the lacks of a team that is forced to react prompt to avoid a catastrophe.
The White House signed error after error and left the feeling that it did not know how replace. Has merit a Villarreal that planted expensive, presionó, knew desconectar to the protagonists madridistas and that, especially, took advantage of the desacierto of the rival to achieve a triumph that him 'stick' in the fight by the European places. The Madrid remains very touched and with doubts for dissipating.
And it is that, from the beginning, went a very complicated party for the merengues: they Began slept and allowing the exit of the 'yellow submarine', that brushed the goal to the six minutes with a shot of Coquelín that repelled the stick with help of Courtois. In the first part were very dangerous, but without luck in the last metres. Merit of the guardameta Belgian, that sustained once again to his.
However, in the second half did not run with so much luck and began to sign his sentence with an earthy error of Ferland Mendy, that before already had had unnecessary losses. In the 46', the left side gave a balloon to Gerard Moreno, that finished assisting to Yeremy Pino for the 1-0. The French showed that, the rumours on Alphonso Davies or Fran García for the 23-24 are not casualidad.
Ancelotti, without tarpaulin
To weigh that after the goal against the Madrid advanced lines and had more presence in the rival area, never left the feeling that they were comfortable or that they could dominate. They cost of a controversial penalti by hand of Juan Foyth in the area to sign the tie, with definition of Karim Benzema, but further of some occasions, the ones of Ancelotti did not know how give him turn to the marker.
After the 2-1 had long to put the tables again, but went the Villarreal the one who had the clearest occasions to sentence the clash. This time the entrance of Eduardo Camavinga did not arise effect, neither neither the intelligence in the area of Rodrygo Goes. A seguidilla of despropósitos so that the Madrid, in the most important point of the season, signed his second defeat in League.
