Scorer, the young Englishman allowed Real Madrid to make the pass of three against Celta de Vigo, this Friday evening, on behalf of the 3rd day of La Liga (1-0).
All of Spain agrees that this 2023-24 campaign will be a season of transition for Real Madrid, waiting for a galactic era. But this concept of transition does not stick to a club like Real. And that’s good, because this new season, the formation of Carlo Ancelotti has started it perfectly.
Without a professional centre-forward, Real revolves around a fairly new animation that is starting to prove itself. Carlo Ancelotti introduced a 4-4-2 diamond pattern with the talented Jude Bellingham in a free playmaker role. A mission that perfectly suits the qualities of the young English international, dressed in Zinédine Zidane’s mythical number 5 and already scored 3 goals in the first 2 games before the kick-off of this match in Vigo.
Bellingham never ceases to burst the screen
The history of this banal evening in Galicia will remember that Jude Bellingham scored his 4th pawn of the season to confirm, if necessary, that he could well be the big man of this new vintage. With a victorious header at the end of the match, the former Dortmund player delivered a hitherto laborious Real (0-1, 82nd). In front of him, the two Brazilian arrows Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo were still called upon to do damage in the Galician defense, but Carlo Ancelotti was forced to replace the first by Joselu after a thigh injury, after ten minutes.
In the bad news department, the Real Madrid infirmary therefore continues to fill up since Vinicius Jr joins Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao on the flank, even if his injury is certainly much less serious. For the rest, Real suffered. He was even frankly scared, Larsen finding the net from the start before seeing his goal disallowed (5th), and Kepa having to intervene several times on interesting situations from the local team. Without consequence. The Merengue make the pass of three to continue the alone rider at the top of La Liga.
