It is not the first day the most suitable for extracting conclusions, even less in this league of extended salary limits thanks to an investment fund, of signings that do not arrive and discards that do not find new home. Well, made this preventive killing, here is a conclusion: this Madrid has a goal. Perhaps much more than you think, maybe less than you may need when spring does not admit any mistake, but it has a goal. And he has it because he has Karim Benzema, that footballer who never presented leader credentials and that grows how much more responsibility. He left Christian, Ramos has gone, and there follows the Frenchman, willing to unleash knots to placate the anxiety of a premiere at an overwhelming moments, finally resolved with sufficiency.
Left Real Madrid some doubts last night in Mendizorilloza, especially in a first half in which the Alaves suited him without complex, but all of them left them for another day thanks to a furious boot in the second half, in which he drilled three times the Pacheco porter in 13 minutes. Two of the goals achieved them thanks to Benzema and in the first green outbreaks of a hazard whose spark was the best news for Ancelotti, in the first episode of his second white adventure. He also convinced Alaba in his debut, covering the left side of the defense by the Lasses of Mendy and Marcelo and crowning his debut with an assistance to Vinicius at the discount. The margin of the EX of Bayern, the presence of Bale, lying on the profile Right of the attack, as in the old days, it was the most striking message offered ancelotti with its alignment. It seems willing the technician to recover the Welsh for the cause, encouraged by his own tendency to respect hierarchies, but he does not stop being surprising to bet on a footballer in amortized appearance to the detriment of those who must star in the future, Rodrygo and Vinicius. He could be interpreted even as a message at heights, but he does not need Florentino Pérez be convinced of the suitability of signing a first level attacker. What he needs are circumstances that, today, have not yet occurred. Mbappé, meanwhile, was exhibited with the PSG after hearing whistles of his own fondness. Good for Madrid? We have to wait to know it ... Today it seems less necessary than yesterday.
The identity that Calleja wants to establish in the Alavés, anchored for years in a very conservative football, made the deficiencies of the Ancelotti team overflow during the first act. Not so much football and emotional, as the Vitorian team was imposed on disputes thanks to its greatest intensity and then generated problems at the white laggard thanks to its verticality and ambition. His was the best occasion of the first half, work by Pere Pons after a play of EDGAR, while Madrid could only record a shot at door, Bale's work in a distant fault that did not reach Pacheco. The luck of The one enjoyed by Real Madrid is that it always has the wildcard of talent to invest hesitant inertiaries when not negative. It is enough a pass from Lucas Vázquez, a Hazard Pure Fantasy Assistance and a Benzema Bocarro auction to clear the haze. It was the 13-minute boot of fury, to which Nacho gave continuity taking advantage of a Modric center and that he closed Benzema himself at a double chance. Without barely realizing it, Madrid turned 0-3 on a pispás: That's having a goal. An error of militano, the weakest of the white defense, propiticó propicient that Joselu cut out of penalty distances, but never Madrid feared for the triumph . There was even an opportunity for redemption for the Austrian, serving an assistance to Vinicius that served to cover the victorious premiere of Madrid. He smiled last night last night to Madrid that even the Brazilian scored.
