Real Madrid drew empty again in Vallecas. The goalless draw did not exceed another gray performance that adds to the days of the week in Liverpool, thus He ties two games in a row without seeing a goalsomething like that It didn’t happen … From May 2023.
Xabi Alonso’s men barely created any danger on Sunday and Kylian Mbappé practically did not feature. Just one shot after the hour mark could have Batala somewhat worried, although he did not even hit the target. Arda Guler was one of the few things that could be saved for the white club, the leaders who are three points ahead of Barcelona, who did not fail in their visit to Vigo.
In DeportePlus+, space for Movistar Plus+ Presented by Juanma Castaño who analyzes Weekend Day, Jorge Valdano addresses the lack of tusk in Vallecas. For the former player and analyst, the blackout of the team, especially Mbappe, can partly be explained by Jude Bellingham’s role.
Valdano’s diagnosis regarding Madrid
Mbappé is the top scorer in the Primera Division with thirteen goals, but, like the team, he has come away empty-handed in the last two matches, showing Real Madrid’s dependence on the Frenchman’s goals.
“What you have to do with world stars is to abuse them and search for them constantly.”
For Jorge Valdano, you don’t just have to look to the former Paris Saint-Germain player. “To be well, they have to find you. Mbappé had one shot on target and made ten appearances in the match throughout the first half, touching ten balls. “A ball every five minutes on average is too little,” the Argentine began his reasoning.
“What you have to do with world stars is to abuse them and search for them constantly. Give it to them, even when they are marked,” something that, in his opinion, Real Madrid have not done in the last two matches.
Focus on the Valikas duel »GulerEspecially in the first half, the starting position was very backward and Mbappe was very behind. I have a feeling he’s the player who knows how to explain that.», highlighted the Turkish, the undisputed starter for Xabi Alonso this season.
“Bellingham is more focused on the goal than on increasing Mbappe.”
However, Valdano believes he expects more from Bellingham to feed Mbappe. “I’m very surprised that Bellingham can’t get along with Mbappe, because they are two complete players in principle. But my feeling is that Bellingham is more focused on the goal than Ziad Mbappe. I think they’ll end up having a very good partnership.Because they are both superior talents.
This season, the Englishman, in eleven matches, scored three goals and one assist, specifically, to Mbappe. A brilliant pass to win El Clásico on October 26.
