Real Madrid improves against America but does not pass the draw

Real Madrid continues with its preparation in the preseason with its sights set on the European Super Cup. In their second game on the US tour, Ancelotti’s men faced the Mexican Club América and showed a better version than in their first game against Barcelona, ​​but victory eluded the Whites.

The match made it clear that Casemiro, Kroos and Modric are untouchable for the Italian coach, no matter how many more names are on the bench. He lined them up from the start in what is a declaration of intent ahead of the dispute for the first title of the season on August 10 against Eintracht. Along with the ‘three tenors’, Ancelotti made Karim Benzema debut this pre-season and the Frenchman did not miss his appointment with the goal. A goal that put the tables back on the scoreboard after a poor white start made America take the lead after 5 minutes.

But with Benzema, Madrid not only has a goal, but also play and more fluidity in attack. Quite the opposite of what was seen against Barcelona in the first game of the preseason. In the second half, Real Madrid was a different team, especially because of the eight changes, and with a younger midfield the team improved. More domineering. Valverde, Camavinga and Tchouaméni showed that white football is more dynamic with them, but today others have the stripes.

Hazard, from a penalty, scored again with the Real Madrid shirt 188 days later and when it seemed that the Whites were going to get their first win of the preseason, they saw how it escaped him due to a referee error. The former white youth squad Álvaro Fildalgo faced Vinicius Tobias and went to the ground. The referee understood that it was a penalty. Lunin stopped the shot, but the Ukrainian goalkeeper had moved two meters ahead of the shot. In the repetition, Fidalgo did not fail and put the final 2-2 on the scoreboard.
