PREVIA – Real Madrid host Las Palmas this afternoon as part of the 20th day of LaLiga. The opportunity for Real Madrid to take the lead in the championship, after the surprise poor performances of Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona.
Destiny offers many surprises! Real Madrid has the possibility of regaining the lead in LaLiga, in a combination of circumstances which turn to its advantage. With an identical number of matches played, the Merengues can make the big move of the weekend.
An opportunity not to be missed for Real Madrid!
Real Madrid’s week has been eventful in many ways. Humiliated in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, manhandled before winning with forceps against Celta in the Copa del Rey, the Merengues can conclude this little marathon on the three national stages in the best possible way.
On the 20th day of La Liga, Real Madrid may find themselves alone in the lead with no match play to catch up on. Atlético de Madrid lost on the lawn of Leganés, also defeated FC Barcelona a few weeks ago. Later in the day, the Blaugrana club had to share the points on the Getafe pitch.
The opportunity is too good for the Merengues in search of control and confidence. The match against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey showed encouraging signs, like the performance of Aurélien Tchouaméni, before falling back into his faults like Eduardo Camavinga.
Faced with an opponent who moved the White House at the start of the season (to the point where he should have won), Vini Jr.’s teammates have the duty to win against Las Palmas, a team without complexes but which travels poorly…
-A new major physical and tactical challenge
Las Palmas has had a mixed season in La Liga. The draw on their lawn at the start of the season is not such a distant memory, given Real Madrid’s sporting form in the league. Diego Martínez’s men deploy effective pressing and demonstrate defensive solidity capable of plunging Madrid’s attackers into doubt. Despite their 14th place in the standings, Las Palmas fell to FC Barcelona at home in La Liga.
To be mistaken, we could almost see Real Madrid in the formation of the Canary Islands: like the Merengues, they have finishing problems, struggle to realize their highlights, and struggle to perform far from their base, and are capable of explosions that no one can see coming. Diego Martínez has often left a good impression tactically against the big teams, even if the results have not always pleased him.
The inspiration for his 4-2-3-1 comes from his apprenticeship with Unai Emery. The rigor in the transitions of his collaboration with Marcelino. The pressing and will that comes from his scheme resembles the Girona team last season. The native of Vigo comes from very good coaching schools in Spain. The draw at the start of the season, in both content and result, should remind Carlo Ancelotti that this match will not be won in advance.
Real Madrid has 3 major challenges against Las Palmas: regaining the control that we saw against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey, winning to take first place in La Liga, and preparing as best as possible for its trip to Leipzig. . Far from being calm in C1, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have the obligation to deliver in La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
