Madrid was enough for a good second part to eliminate Juve and advance to the quarterfinals. It was not a brilliant, effective performance, that of the Xabi Alonso team, which continues to accumulate good news at its premiere on the bench. Being three games of the title is not a small thing for a team under construction. Madrid did not start as a favorite and right now nobody wants to see him. Luis Enrique, surely, is taking note of what can come in the semifinals with this Madrid of Xabi, who is right with everything he touches. Although there is something that takes the palm is Gonzalo's. Again the canterano and again scorer.
Another of Gonzalo … who fights for the Golden Boot
Who was going to tell Gonzalo that he would be fighting for the Golden Boot in the First Club World Cup in History. The canterano adds three goals in four games and is one in Di María, with the important difference that Benfica's Argentine is already eliminated.
Gonzalo opened the account against Juve with a goal from Pure Nine, through a header to center of Trent. Somewhat who celebrated in style Xabi Alonso, the architect that the canterano is being the great sensation of the World Cup.
Trent is still cold, but he has a glove on his foot
He did not have a good game Trent Alexander-Arnold, who in his first games with Real Madrid is leaving doubts. Soft in defense, inaccurate in attack, almost always placed … as Carvajal returns to a good level, English will suffer to stay in eleven.
What cannot be denied to Trent is that he has a glove on his foot. Gonzalo's goal was born from his boots, with a perfect center to the striker. The maximum assistant of the Premier in the last five seasons, puts them like nobody.
Kenan Yıldız, what a footballer!
The Turk of Juve left signs of its quality in a great first part in which it drove the defense of Madrid crazy, especially to Trent, Rüdiger and Tchouaméni. Football player with dribble, verticality and fast, Yildiz made it clear who is the leader of Juventus and wants to be one of the best European football players. Incomprehensible that his coach would take away in the 70th minute. Yildiz, obviously, he did not take it too well.
What did Xabi Alonso say to rest?
There was a Madrid in the first part and another in the second. After the break, the white team came out much more plugged in and completely annulled Juventus, which practically did not step on the rival area.
It was Di Gregorio who kept Juventus in the game against a Real Madrid that was more aggressive with and without ball.
Arda runs a lot
The Turk is grabbing quality based on quality and kilometers. Güler was always blamed that he had no body for Madrid and in this Club World Cup is showing himself as a powerful player from the physical point of view. The Turk is the Concramines of Madrid, a player who goes from area to area and is being erected as a footballer committed to Xabi's idea. Then, with the ball at the feet, the usual: it is left over and is giving a good course to Madrid's football.
Tchouaméni, Captain General … at the Defense Center
There has been Xabi Alonso arrow with Tchouaméni, which ended at a very good level in May and has taken more gallons still in this Club World Cup. The Frenchman is imperial, although in a position that is not the one he likes. For now, Tchouaméni is chosen to play at the Defense Center of Tres, although Xabi is putting in value and is responsible for starting the game from behind. He touched the goal against Juve, although he crashed with the usual: Di Gregorio.
Mbappé is back
The French finally premiered with Xabi Alonso. Half an hour that will surely be more time on Saturday in the quarterfinals. There was not much difference between the Xabi Mbappé and the Ancelotti Mbappé. Kylian played nine and sought to be in contact with the ball as long as possible. He had no goal chances, but raised the “oooh” of admiration of the stands with his technical gestures. There is doubt, it is the crack of Madrid, the player with the most pull.
Another night of Luka
It had no minutes Rodrygo. As soon as Ceballos played. But Luka Modric did, who had 20 minutes to continue showing his quality. The Croatian is already in the quarterfinals of the World Cup and the fans of Madrid will have at least one more game to enjoy it. Luka's dream is to say goodbye on Sunday, July 13, lifting the title, the icing on a perfect race in Madrid.
