It is clear that Real Madrid is not going through a good moment and it is not easy to digest. The style of play remains unconvincing and the team’s mistakes directly affect the team’s results. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s charges must prove that they are the current league champions and continue their path in the domestic competition with the Italian at the helm. The last league match against Valencia could not be played due to the DANA that hit the Valencian territory, Therefore, the last league precedent for the white team is the painful victory in the Clásico. The meringues need to erase from their memories what has happened in the last two games that have been played at the Santiago Bernabéu. That is, wipe the slate clean so that the template returns to its best version.
There are so many problems that prevent us from seeing a good Real Madrid that they are beginning to make the fans desperate. The white team’s requirement is to add three at a time in almost any circumstance, which is why more and more people are being blamed for this bad moment. On this day Tchouaméni joins the list of casualties that already included Alaba, Courtois and Carvajal. Regarding the team’s situation, it is necessary to return to the path of victory before the last national team break of the year. With 24 points and a distance of nine from the leader, having played one less game, Victory is the only thing contemplated for this new league commitment.
It may not be the perfect context for a team that is used to things going well while leading the standings, but it is time for Madrid fans to be more united than ever. It is said that The coaching staff and players met in the locker room after the match against Milan to evaluate what was happening. A sporting crisis must be resolved from the field of play and what better way than by getting three points with a game that once again approaches the excellence of last season.
In the run-up to this league match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, good old Carlo Ancelotti sat down at a press conference to clearly answer the journalists’ questions. The Italian coach began by talking about the rival on this new day: “Osasuna is doing very well, they are well in the table, they play well and have very good dynamics.” To continue, the Madrid coach commented on how he had dealt with the problems that were holding the team back at the start of the season: «We have spoken and evaluated the situation with the players, we have found a solution. But this is theory, then it must be demonstrated in practice.
Finally, the highlight was when Carletto gave the Madridistas hope to continue trusting in their squad: “I see the future as a successful season, we are going to fight for everything and for all the competitions.” After Ancelotti’s statements, Real Madrid made public the call for this match against Osasuna: Monday, Fran González, Sergio Mestre; Militao, Lucas Vazquez, Vallejo, Fran Garcia, Rüdiger, Mendy, Asensio; Jude Bellingham, Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Modric, Arda Guler, Ceballos; Vinicius Jr, Mbappé, Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim.
The red team dreams of playing in Europe again after their short-lived journey through the Conference League last season. The arrival of Vicente Moreno after the departure of Jagoba Arrasate has given a new look to an Osasuna that is in fifth position. Their main weapons are the technical quality of Bryan Zaragoza, the scoring soul of Budimir and their unity as a team. The Santiago Bernabéu will be the ideal setting to see if the Navarrese team is capable of standing up to the teams at the top of the standings.
Real Madrid and Osasuna have faced each other 93 times: 61 wins for the white team, 19 draws and 13 victories for the team currently led by Vicente Moreno. The last precedent of an official match between both teams was found on matchday 29 of last season, a match that ended in a 2-4 Madrid victory. This match corresponding to matchday 13 of LaLiga EA Sportas will take place this Saturday, November 9 at 2:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu and can be seen on DAZN.
