Forty-seven days after falling in combat with the Brazilian team, Vinicius returns to action in the Santiago Bernabu. Next to Carvajal y Arda G.ler, The Fluminense is one of the three troops that the newly renovated team recovers Carlo Ancelotti to try to button up with your darling Real Madrid the honorific title of winter champion. A laurel that guarantees nothing, but that is usually a fairly solid indication when predicting the outcome of the championship. It is enough to remember in this sense that since the current system that assigns three points for a victory was established, 22 of the 28 leaders at the end of the first round ended up winning at the end of the League, to account for the importance that there is a match for the whites to confront them with Mallorca of Rallo y Maffeo. Two defenders with whom the 7 drags old quarrels who will have a new episode this Wednesday at the Chamartín Coliseum (7:15 p.m., Movistar LaLiga).

I have not yet decided what I will do with Vinicius tomorrow because I have to talk to him and the doctors. However, he has shown in training that he is very good, Ancelotti pointed out in the preview when being questioned about a footballer called to share with Bellingham the status of Real Madrid’s flagship, but who is being martyred by various physical problems during the current season. First there was a torn fiber in the femoral biceps of his right leg suffered during the League match against Celta at the end of August that kept him out for four games. And then another break, this time in the femoral biceps of his left leg with involvement of the distal tendon, which he suffered while defending the interests of the Canarinha in a duel against Colombia held in mid-November and which forced him to be absent in another five days of the League and the last two of the group stage of the Champions League.

In less than five months, Vinicius has missed as many lawsuits due to injury as in the previous five campaigns. And, although Real Madrid has been able to overcome the absence of the Brazilian whirlwind, its return is celebrated like May water by the white parish, which hopes to see how its team continues to extend the streak that keeps it undefeated. since the stumble at the Metropolitano at the end of September. In the first half, and with many problems, we did well, said Ancelotti, who advocated commitment and intensity to start the year well against Mallorca.

Tchouamni estrena empleo

The Italian confirmed Lunin’s presence under the sticks, which does not necessarily mean that the Ukrainian has won the game against Kepa because the Basque has just gone through a flu process that left him handicapped. It is not correct that I choose the starting goalkeeper now. They are very good and I am going to choose at all times the goalkeeper who gives me the most confidence, indicated Carletto, who closed the door to the signing of a center back in the winter market and once again pointed out Tchouamni as the main emergency resource for said demarcation. With Nacho suspended as a result of his expulsion against Alavés, the one from Rouen will be the dance partner of Rdiger in a clash in which Real Madrid has the absences of Courtois, Militao, Alaba, Mendy and Camavinga due to injury. The last two are expected for the Spanish Super Cup, which will see a rising Mallorca on television.

The vermilion team added eight of the twelve points in contention during the month of December, which helped them distance themselves from the relegation places and reaffirm the figure of Javier Aguirre. Vasco does not have a bad record in its 21 league matches against Real Madrid, against whom it has drawn seven and whom it has defeated four times. The last of those triumphs was achieved last year in Son Moix, where an own goal by Nacho buried Real Madrid’s chances of fighting for the title. Mallorca’s numbers, however, are not good in Chamartín, where they have not scored since May 2009. With the aim of altering that dynamic, Aguirre, who has the absences of Muriqi and Valjent due to injury but recovers Lato and Mascarell, asks personality to his team while being sensible. We are going to go compete, then we will see if we are able to take advantage of the little we generate, said the Mexican.
