Real Madrid managed to demolish their guests, Getafe, on Saturday, in LaLiga continued in the 31st week. Real Madrid again gain three points after ensuring victory with a score of 2-0. Carlos Casemiro and Lucas Vazques scored two Real Madrid goals. Real Madrid ready to party? Casemiro scored the opener in the 38th minute. He managed to convert a beautiful pass that was cleared by compatriot, Vinicius Junior, with a header. Vinicius’s pass is considered “beautiful” because it uses the outside of the right foot, which is how Luca Modric and Angel di Maria often used the bait.
Lucas Vazques scored the second Real Madrid goal in the 68th minute. In collaboration with Rodrygo Goes on the left side of the Getafe defence, Vazques managed to net the ball into the right side of the goal that was far from David Soria’s control. The goal put Real Madrid 2-0 up until the final whistle sounded. This victory was obtained through a tumben process from Carlo Ancelotti. It looks like Ancelotti is softening his head. The reason, there is a change in midfield. Usually, Ancelotti fielded Modric and Kroos to flank Casemiro. However, this time, Ancelotti’s rotation policy was adopted by playing Federico Valverde and Eduardo Mendy. The result is sweet.
In addition, Ancelotti also played Marcelo in place of Ferlan Mendy. Usually, Marcelo is played as a substitute or as a bench warmer. However, this time, Marcelo played full time and was appointed as El Capitano. The responsibility as a leader was successfully answered by Marcelo with a victory. This kind of rotation is what Real Madrid really needs. Giving trust by playing the players is very important. Ancelotti is still lacking in this regard so that in almost every game, the squad chosen is only that one person. However, in the victory over Getafe, Don Carlo dared to make a rotation. Hopefully this policy will always be considered by Ancelotti in the next matches.
Real Madrid’s victory over Getafe at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu managed to bring Real Madrid to lead the standings with 72 points. Real Madrid are ahead of Sevilla who are second in the standings who have 60 points with the same number of games (31 games) after winning the match against Granada (4-2). Real Madrid’s victory can not be said that Carlo Ancelotti’s team is safe. Overall, there are still seven games remaining. Of those seven matches, there are four remaining that must be won by Real Madrid if they are to lift the LaLiga trophy.
However, this is not an easy matter. The remaining seven games of Real Madrid are big games. Real Madrid’s life and death bet is in some of those big matches, namely traveling to the headquarters of Sevilla and Atletico Madrid and hosting guests Real Betis. The three teams are currently sitting in the top five of the LaLiga standings up to jornada 31. Meanwhile, if Real Madrid want to lift the trophy early, then Real Madrid must win four matches in a row, namely against Sevilla, Osasuna, Espanyol and Atletico Madrid.
A 12-point lead over the second-placed team in LaLiga makes Real Madrid confident of winning the remaining matches. There are Sevilla and Atletico Madrid who are ready to tackle Real Madrid and who are also competing for points to finish in the best position. In addition, there are also other teams who also want to embarrass Real Madrid. Thus, no party had yet been prepared. Process is still in progress! The dream of winning the LaLiga trophy must remain, but respect for the ongoing process must be adhered to by the players entrusted to play. The victory party in LaLiga can only be prepared when Real Madrid has definitely wiped out all the wins in the next four matches or four games from the remaining seven matches.
At times like this, the psychological condition of the team needs to be maintained at all times. The confidence of every player must remain burning in him to be a winner in every match played. It didn’t matter who was going to fight. And Real Madrid could do that to collect their 35th La Liga trophy.
