Real Madrid: Vinícius makes us forget Benzema's absence against Elche
A Real Madrid without its top figure and scorer Karim Benzema by rest, has been able to count on a Vinicius who has made Benzema today, confirming that he is one of the most important of the team and the championship.
Carlos Ancelotti has complied with the rotations and Marcelo and Mariano have returned, two players who are practically forgotten in the Whites. While the central Real Madrid have looked very good again.
But the best news of all is that Vinicius is finally becoming the player that everyone wants to see, he transmits a lot of joy and turns a boring football into something more entertaining, showing every time he can his quality with the ball at his feet.
Summary of Elche — Real Madrid
The local team of Elche showed interesting freedom for Pastore, while Real Madrid showed the complementarity that exists between the two Brazilians Marcelo and Vinicius Jr. This time without Benzema, who is the one with the greatest weight in the white attack.
A match that showed a very moderate intensity for both teams, although in reality the only intensity that could be seen was that of Vinicius. While there was only one card for Raúl Guti. Now with the new fashion of the block system, teams have stopped being defensive or offensive, good or bad.
This is how Elche was a short rival, but did not have the contemplation of Osasuna. Bad news for Real Madrid was the injury to Rodrygo, who left due to muscle problems and Asensio entered for him.
The entry of Asensio greatly helped the team to carry out deep attacks that ended in constant threats to the locals. While the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Courtois, made the save of the day to Boyé, with a very strong forearm that saved Ancelotti's team.
While Real Madrid marked from a gift from Elche, where Casemiro takes the ball and hands it to Mariano, who gives the ball first to Vinicius, so that he will mark with his left leg after a little preliminary touches.
Vinicius has not only improved the definition, but he has also improved the completion of each play, which has led him to become one of the key pieces of Carlos Ancelotti, who right now has the Brazilian as an indisputable piece in the team.
Despite the lack of minutes from Mariano and being a player almost forgotten by the club, the game that the striker showed was surprising, that was how an unthinkable play was made with a threat, showing that he has a very good quality of play.
After Real Madrid's goal, Ancelotti's team found the possibility of carrying out several counterattacks, many of these were wasted, in each of these attacks the Brazilian could be seen running with great enthusiasm, so in a few plays his A lively urge to play made him hurry up and make a mistake.
A decentralized Elche
The local team not only gave away the ball, but you made mistakes like scoring and gave away spaces. While Real Madrid tried to take advantage of all this and Casemiro got on very well with the centrals allowing them to play a very fast game.
You could see Real Madrid very fast above and very fast below. That was how all the lines of the white team were rotating except for Casemiro, who practically played an impeccable match in his area. A style of play that allowed Ancelotti's men to relax.
For the second half, Elche tried to push harder and everything focused on the great duel between Boyé and Militao, the locals increasingly insisted on seeking the tie, where a Raul Guti was seen completely different from his team, who got so hot that he won a yellow card after a silly play that left the locals with 10 players.
This caused Elche to form with a double pivot, Pastore's sacrifice, so it took Real Madrid for a few minutes to show its superiority. Once again, Vinicius placed his authority to place the 0-2 of the match and his second goal of the match, thus reaching 9 goals this season.
Clearly, the purification of Vinicius is due to the great merit of Carlos Ancelotti, who has given him the confidence and help to the youth to reach the level he has right now. If the Brazilian continues with this progressive level, in just a few months he may be becoming one of the most decisive in the world.
Real Madrid defined the game
With a 0-2 in the marking, the match was already closed and Ancelotti's men were getting closer to the third than to the reaction of Elche, who seemed to be no more in the game.
Until then, everything was going well for Madrid, as he recovered Mariano and Marcelo to take them into account for the next matches and Vinicius took advantage of Benzema's absence to become the star of the team and get on the pedestal.
However, Real Madrid could not secure the zero at their door, after a great game by the centrals, where an error by Casemiro, who had played a great game, allowed Père Milla to score, a play where neither of the two intervened central. The goal would arrive at minute 85 of the game.
This made Elche believe they could tie the game, but a good game by Mariano and Casemiro prevented this, where they demonstrated their commitment, performance and professionalism with the team.
