After a difficult opening period of the match, Real Madrid are beginning to wake up! Esteban Granero and Fernando Gago in particularly are really struggling in midfield, and you can tell Jose Mourinho isn’t happy with the situation as Xabi Alonso has already been sent out to warm up. Gago’s Real Madrid career is surely nearing an end.
Real Madrid Vs Mallorca: Real Madrid Beginning To Turn The Screw
As it must be as well for poor Karim Benzema. Bar the odd flurry of goals here and there the striker has been a shocking disappointment and tonight is no different. Truth is the Frenchman is not a number nine and simply cannot be relied upon to lead the line in Mourinho’s 4-2-3-1 formation. He can’t hold the ball up and he is not going to get Real Madrid important goals in important matches.
But regardless of these problems, Real Madrid are beginning to grab a foothold in this match without really creating a noteworthy chance. The counters from Mallorca have dried up and its backs-to-the-wall as they begin to defend deeper and deeper. If things carry on like this it will be a long night for Nunes, Ramis and company!
