Castilla is still stuck in a yes but no. In that loop of being so few points from the promotion that seems there, a stone’s throw away, but every time the rock flies, it does so without luck. The visit to Tarragona could mean getting to 2 of the playoff and, however, what ended was a qualifying collapse. because those of Raul they return to Madrid closer to relegation (3) than fifth place (5). Dry of points and goal, something that had only happened in one of the last 12 games. Without Latasa the cannon gets stuck. There is no paradise.
All the debates focus on the -increasingly orthodox- scheme of three central that Raúl is using. bet on Sergio Santossynonymous with versatility, as a right-handed centre-back alongside Rafael Marin Y Gila (replacing the sanctioned Pablo Ramón). The idea was to establish a wall so that Marvin Y Peter they could gallop the wings at will, helping in defensive work, but without pressure to dare to go up and generate a superiority of seven men. In point, without Latasa (called by Ancelotti), Álvaro Rodríguez entered, starter ahead of Aranda and Gudjohnsen. He was already in the last league victory and, in fact, he scored (3-1 vs Andorra).
But this time the play went tails. Because what Raúl did not count on was a missile from 30 meters. This is how Nàstic scored, piercing the cage with a bullet worthy of a sniper fired by Bonilla. Impossible for Fuidias despite his feline flight. That goal was a blow for Castilla, superior until that moment, although without overwhelming. They had two in the first part: Alvaro Rodriguezvery deviated and doctorcentimeters from the left wood. Nàstic felt comfortable in the trenches and Madrid lacked ‘something’ in the midfield. In the engine room. without the best Mario Martin and with the wand you arrive off, everything was predictable.
Before those, Raúl shook the cocktail shaker and redrew the team giving entrance to Miguel Gutierrez: the schema became a 4-4-2 more recognizable, with Marvin and Peter focused exclusively on the attack. The sacrificed was Dotor. And the team improved, having up to two in the first quarter of an hour, both signed by Marvin, the most intrepid and brave to seek to break by band. Castilla arrived with remarkable ferocity and improvable sense of smell. He had the attitude, but not the aim. And that ended with three forwards: Aranda Y Nico Peace they entered to escort Alvaro Rodriguez in a all in unlucky ending.
Trilles, central of the Nàstic, cleared under sticks the most frank, all after that Aranda shot with his left foot behind a wall with you arrive, which took a long time to plug in but when it did, it showed that it has an inexplicable quality. That he is a soccer player with magic. The final minutes were a siege. The Nastic ended up applying the ‘raul formula’ and he defended himself with three centrals, locked up, asking for the time. Knowing how to suffer to win. Castilla, who had only failed to score in one of the last 12 games, added to that statistic and sank down the table. The playoff is still close, but the relegation is even closer. And that symptom, perhaps anecdotal in three weeks, today is worrying. Worth setting off the alarms.
