The comeback experienced in Elche is a blow that values ​​Carlo Ancelotti’s category as a coach. The internal analysis of Real Madrid highlights that the Italian treats footballers first as people and then as professionals. He brought out Isco with ten minutes to go in regulation time and Hazard and Ceballos to play the entire extra time. All three responded, albeit in different ways. The man from Malaga scored the equalizer by putting his foot up and deflecting the ball against Werner. The Belgian got a great goal, in a breakaway with a corner shot, difficult, in front of the local goalkeeper’s exit. The Sevillian was the victim of Elche’s goal, hitting the ball on his boot and fooling Lunin, but later controlled it in the visiting domain in search of a comeback, helped by Isco.

The three sentenced had a blow to morale and surrendered when it was most needed. They took a step forward. In the template there is only one pending subject: Gareth Bale.

The Welshman was very serious at the Martínez Valero, because he saw that he was not playing and that he was not counted on when Real Madrid was up to their necks in water, losing and with ten men eighteen minutes from the end of extra time. Isco, Hazard and Ceballos they took precedence when the match got more complicated. A fact that made clear the reality of the British, who is physically perfect after two months injured. The man from Malacita ends his contract in July, the same as him, but his attitude is different, knowing the freedom letter he will receive in five months, since Francisco Alarcón never had a renewal offer. Bale, who knows that he will not see that offer either even if he scores in a hypothetical Champions League final, should reflect on it.

In the club they question with Christian resignation if Ancelotti can do something by Bale, whom he directed with good hand seven years ago. The white house is tired of paying 29 million gross annually to a footballer who has not performed since the final in Kiev. The entity is tired of a player who has faced Solari and Zidane in previous stages, angry at his behavior on and off the pitch.

Play against Elche and Athletic

Despite everything, the Italian coach thinks he can add him to the cause. Although the company is not even asking for it anymore, considering the objective impossible, Ancelotti tries.

That Hazard and Isco will come back from the game says a lot of what happens here. Two “hopeless” with a sense of reality. They have risen in the face of the difficult situation and have contributed to the team. Facts that leave Bale more and more surrounded and more in evidence.

Ancelotti plans to give him minutes on Sunday against Elche, in the league duel, and grant him ownership in San Mamés in the Cup if the absences of Vinicius and Rodrygo, summoned by Brazil, victims together with Militao, Casemiro and Valverde of an unpresentable calendar. The cupbearer confrontation will be a future test for the Welshman.
