It was surely not Mbappé’s dream debut at the Bernabéu as a white player. He left a bit of sparkle and almost scored towards the end, but he was always surrounded by purple rivals. Despite this, he was at first the most cheered by all the Real Madrid fans. The joys would not be long in coming. The Frenchman was replaced three minutes from the end by Endrick, who made his debut in an official match and was the protagonist. Both were blessed right out of the box by the look of Ronaldo Nazaire.

Ancelotti has chosen Burn Güler about Modric to replace the injured Bellinghamand the Turk played the Croatian in his most distant version of the rival zone since he became a Real Madrid player. The other change from Mallorca was that of Fran Garcia enter by Ferland Mendywho saw the red in Are Moix.

We continue to see that this team is new and that it still lacks, among other things, automation. Only Mbappé has arrived – in addition to Endrick, whose place is for now on the bench – but the departure of Kroos makes this Madrid play something else and not the same thing that led them to win two of the last three Champions Leagues. Balance is the key, Ancelotti knows it, but it does not seem so easy to find it. The victims do not help either.

It will take time to explore the maximum potential of this team, which will have to suffer from close rivals and learn to fight them. This happened with Mallorca and it happened again with Valladolid. The approach of Pezzolanowith a line of five in defense in the defensive phase, left the whites without ideas due to the lack of space.

The only chance Madrid had in the first half came from Mbappé, who caught a ball from far behind. Rudiger. Nothing else came of the Frenchman in his first minutes in white at the Bernabéu, just like Vinicius. Without Bellingham, Ancelotti’s team did not circulate the ball quickly and there was little fluidity among the attackers. Too many individualities that ended in the void.

Before the second half began, Ancelotti’s gaze was fixed on nothing from the bench. The Italian made no substitutions at half-time, but he did warm up Modric first. Luka’s substitution for Tchouaménireplaceable in a game with so little work behind it, it seemed a matter of time if things continued like this.

“I told you so” by Fede and Ancelotti

Madrid came out of the dressing room tunnel with a different face. With attitude, that’s what can never be missing in games. Pezzolano kept his plan intact, after his central defenders, Comert And BoyomoThey would make up to twelve successful defensive actions in the first half. Valladolid was a block behind that had worked until that moment, but he knew that the hardest part was yet to come.

Madrid looked more fluid and people had no time to get impatient in the second half. A foul up front gave the Whites the opportunity to take the lead. Ancelotti told Valverde to shoot – until then Güler had been responsible for the set piece – and the Uruguayan listened.

It was the 50th minute and Valverde, after touching Arda and Rodrygo in the court, shot to make it 1-0. The shot lightly touched Legalwho poisoned the ball and made it sneak near the goal post. eh. Valverde first celebrated with rage, then hugged Ancelotti. “I told you,” the Italian retorted.

The game was unlocked for Madrid and they were able to close it immediately after the goal. Güler was keen to score the second. The Turk advanced into the area after the break and, after his mistake, in the next play he received the first yellow of the match. The white football was more cheerful, with Valladolid now opening up more. The Pucelano team was the first to make changes, introducing Amallah And Raoul Moor.

Until the second Madrid player arrived, everything would remain open and Courtois would perform his daily miracle as a warning. Ancelotti’s first changes came around the 70th minute, eliminating Güler and Rodrygo. Surprising for the Turk, who was clearly the best in the chaos, and a little less so for the Brazilian, who moments before missed a simple pass – after a wonderful control – that left Vinicius the goal on a marble. Those who came on were Modric and Brahim.

Madrid clearly aimed for the tranquility objective. Around the 80th minute, Mbappé managed to score. Vinicius stunned his rival with a delicate break-shaped move and put him at the penalty spot for the Frenchman whose shot was centered. Syllacame on from the bench for Pucela, also almost scored in the final minutes and rumours were heard in the stands of the Bernabéu.

Brahim and Endrick sentenced

Ancelotti finally eliminated his star duo, Vinicius and Mbappé, and they came in Ceballos and Endrick, who made his debut in an official match as a Real Madrid player. The Brazilian was going to have little time to show the player he can become, but he faces challenges. Brahim appeared before. With a run, without anyone being able to knock him down, he placed himself in front of Hein’s goal and fired the ball to beat the Pucelano goalkeeper.

The game was coming to an end, but it wasn’t going to end until Endrick put his signature on the scoreboard. The young forward seemed to have been hit by a wand. He scored on his first day at the Bernabéu, with Brazil, and he did it on his debut with Real Madrid. The Brazilian showed his powerful shot to make it 3-0 and close the white victory against Valladolid that gives three points to start growing in La Liga.
