Fury Against Yamal: Real Madrid Celebrate Derby Win Following Provocative Comments

“Whenever I win they can’t say a word,” Lamine Yamal once remarked, however on this occasion he came up short and opponents closed in for him. They said he spoke too much; they replied that, indeed, they were going to meet him off the pitch; they told him talk is cheap. And that was just the players: further remarks from commentators in media platforms, men who always have opinions.

On the eve this epic clash, the teenager who says he abandoned nervousness behind in his hometown implied that Real Madrid rob and moan, according to reports. He also provided a recollection that on his previous visit he had been Madrid’s home ground – a kid with blaugrana braces, a spark in his eye and a right foot they didn’t know he possessed – his team triumphed 4-0. Yet that was past and this was now. Moreover, more mature currently, exactly a year on, he was beaten back. It was clear, as opponents made sure.

As the match conclusion sounded on a wild, intense latest Madrid-Barca match that was somewhat like old times, the Barcelona winger walked towards Dani Carvajal, offering a handshake. Rather than taking it, Carvajal did the old talking motion. The match was hard enough following with everything that unfolded in over an hour and forty-five that preceded it, a match of 38 shots, three goals scored and three more ruled out; at that moment it became impossible.

All at once there were footballers everywhere, running in and out of view and piling in, security pulling people apart. Amidst the scuffle, Madrid’s goalkeeper was accepting the offer to resume this in the dressing room area. The Brazilian forward was restrained, he saying to someone else they are too vocal. Raphinha was running to stop his countryman, Antonio Rüdiger also present. “It was when we young,” Aurélien Tchouaméni commented.

Shift in Momentum

Earlier this year, Tchouaméni posted: “They rejoice in our defeats as if we will never win again. We’ll be back.” Real Madrid were defeated in a clásico Copa del Rey final 3-2 in extra time, a collective breakdown greeting the final whistle, ice cubes flying. A fortnight later, they were beaten again. In four clásicos, Madrid were defeated on each occasion, La Liga, cup and Super Cup won by Barcelona. Their defense allowed 4, 5, 3 and four. However there is always the future and as it happened he proved correct.

Only once have the Catalan side ever won five clásicos in a row, Pep Guardiola’s historic streak concluding with the famous 5-0 versus Mourinho’s side, and it wouldn’t happen again. This past weekend, Real Madrid ended the coach’s unbeaten start as manager, defeating Barcelona 2-1 to move five points clear in first place of the table.

Significance

The Madrid squad required this. The celebration said so, players dancing in circles. So did the noise, their stadium more vocal and intense compared to for such matches for years: “amazing,” the English midfielder called it. The coach said so too. Asked if this was a relief, or existed a mental block around big games, a fixation, Xabi Alonso responded: “That’s you lot’s thing.” But he did admit that this was “more than a win, and where we come from and its importance for the squad; the boys needed the experience of securing a victory in a major fixture.”

In the previous campaign Madrid had not won in such matches. On fourteen occasions they lost: Lille, Milan, Liverpool, Bilbao, Espanyol, Sevilla-based, Atlético, Valencia and London club each defeated them. They did not achieve a single win against a top-tier opponent. Carlo Ancelotti departed and was replaced by Xabi Alonso but it continued. Madrid won five games at the Club World Cup, indications of tactical organization emerging, a game plan, however they faced PSG.

Current Campaign

That belongs to the prior year, Alonso said. Yet the new campaign, under his guidance season, started with a winning streak in a row until Atlético came and put five past them. It was all well and good beating newly promoted, Mallorca and Pamplona side however, against the big teams? Now at last they had beaten one of them as well. And it wasn’t just that Madrid triumphed, it was the way they won.

The opposition were missing out: Joan García, young midfielder, Dani Olmo, star striker and defender were absent. So too the winger, an important player might now be fully recognised by his absence. Others were not at 100%, Jules Koundé and young forward among them. On the bench were several individuals who hadn’t started in La Liga, others who had started just one time; teenagers, young talents and a couple who are nineteen. Plus a centre-back, Uruguayan star, who ended it in attack again. Even their manager was missing, Flick suspended and stuck in a radio cabin. His assistant, Sorg, has been in the dugout three times: he has lost each one.

Tactical Analysis

Much is made of the team’s vulnerable high line, but their offense struggled effectively on Sunday. Among comments directed to Lamine Yamal on Sunday, maybe the most revealing was from the Brazilian during the game, mocking the teenager by saying: “Your play is retreating balls.” Regarding their defense, more porous compared to past after the defender leaving, defensive intensity on passers dropping and coordination lacking, Levante created six clear chances versus Barcelona, another team five, Andalusian side 5, Girona three. Last year they trapped Kylian Mbappé in an offside position on multiple occasions in an open clásico; however, lost amid the defeats, was that in the last meeting he got a hat-trick, Madrid always likely to get opportunities now.

Decisive Actions

Playing like this, especially. The match served as a beginning as well as an end in itself. “In the future we’re going to need much of our performance in this game,” Alonso commented. They put shots in the net on five occasions – three efforts ruled out due to offside – missed {a penalty|a spot-kick
