He Real Madrid He rejoins the League with the victory in Leganés. He has done it the fast way. What seemed like it was going to be a much longer and more expensive job, the team Ancelotti He has resolved it with unexpected speed. The reaction of the whitesjoined to the ‘bird’ of Barçahave drawn a much more reassuring scenario for the current champion in his objective of revalidating the title.
He Real Madrid He has taken two bites in a row at Barcelona’s advantage that has allowed him to get out of the compromised situation in which he found himself in the fight for the League title in no time. Ancelotti’s team has cut five points in two days that allow him to recover balance in his league options, which had been seriously compromised. After the hard blow of the Classic and the postponed match against Valencia, Barça opened the gap to nine points and Madrid were left in a particularly uncomfortable league situation, with the serious risk of falling behind.
First mission accomplished
This crisis of results, fueled by the other blow that the team received in the Champions League against Milan before the break, forced Ancelotti to take action on the matter. The coach, in one of the most tense weeks experienced in Valdebebas in recent years, locked himself in with his players to demand a reaction due to the fear of entering a negative streak that would take them away from their objectives. League and Champions were at risk and the technician did not want to wait any longer to raise his voice and change the team dynamic.
For now, the new victory against Leganés is a confirmation that the players took good note. Change is a realitythe results have supported it and have also been supported by two setbacks for Barcelona who have managed to take Madrid from being nine points behind Barcelona to just four in just 21 days, with one less game for the whites. Two victories in a row against Osasuna and Leganés, tremendously balmy.
Once the League is settled, the next objective is to do the same with the Championswhere the situation is also unexpectedly uncomfortable after two defeats in four days. Wait Liverpool at Anfield and the challenge is huge. However, straightening the league’s course has allowed Madrid to recover part of the lost confidence and also regain peace of mind after weeks of tension caused by the results and a sequence of injuries that caused great concern.
A planned reaction
‘Operation White Christmas’ has been successfully launched. After a break that served to organize ideas, reflect on the team’s situation and work on decisions that had to be made, the moment of truth arrived and Madrid returned to the competition to face a decisive month that will mark the rest of the season. Ahead, nine games (now eight after the victory against Leganés) in 29 days in which the League and the Championsin addition to the second title of the season for the whites (the Intercontinental). And all this in a delicate situation due to the casualties that force Ancelotti to squeeze the few resources it has to achieve its objectives. Results that will also mark the decisions made in the Valdebebas offices when acting in the winter market. There are 29 days of maximum demand to arrive safely at the Christmas break and have the holidays in peace. And the first step has been taken in Butarque.
