This was beyond many people's predictions. Real Madrid, playing at home, were heavily favored and believed to win the match easily. However, it turned out not to be the case. Real Madrid only managed to win by a single goal, despite Osasuna's very defensive tactics. I think Xabi Alonso should have made many changes to the team's play and created more chances, but in reality, he didn't.
So, even though Real Madrid won the match, their overall performance was still quite disappointing.
It was a bit disappointing and I don't think they are yet capable of truly doing what they can do. If the boys work hard they can do really great things. They have a lot of great players in the squad, much superior to Barcelona, but they can't express their football.
This was exactly what I was thinking yesterday, when Madrid was finding it difficult to net the post before the penalty came in. However, I believe that with time, they will improve their performance and tighten the bond. I don't see why they find it difficult to win Osasuna yesterday. I am happy that Madrid was able to get full points yesterday.
That may be Literally it is true
that when it was difficult for Real Madrid to find goals in this match, it seemed
thatlike the team was
sinking into shamegoing to be humiliated again
in the first La Liga match of the new season against Osasuna but it may be true that their team manager was just testing the tactics to see if they were truly fully fit, as we have seen many new players come in as replacements. Among them the most notable and captivating performance was by Argentina's Franco
MastattunoMastatuono. The new Argentine player's dominance of Real Madrid Football Club was astonishing because
for as long as he was
aroundon the field,
he seemed like a player from Real Madrid long before thateverything was moving forward in an orderly and controlled manner.
