You have the option of going ahead.
You have the option to equalize the game.
So you make sure at the Bernabeu that you don't leave spaces, that you don't leave probably the most important player
on the field that is vinicius junior in transition or valverde without no mark without a space to run and against a player who is not used to defend that he was um alex by nine that second half so um too many mistakes too many options to real madrid that of course when they play at the bernabeu
they're going to take them and it was that third goal who actually when we saw this like this is even with Valverde going out you could see that Real Madrid was ready to keep those three points whatever it was needed and the reaction with also with Arbeloa bringing on
Carreras on the left side, putting Frank Garcia on the left side too to try to keep it tight and together.
So in the end, I think that Real Madrid did what they have to do.
They managed to come back in a very difficult situation right after the second half when you might expect Atletico Madrid to be very compact and difficult to break down because that's what Simeone does the best.
But in the end, too many options for them and they took them very well.
Orange, I would say, because the first moment when I saw it, I thought it was a red carpet.
It's really aggressive, the way that he goes to the tackle.
If you see it on a slow motion, it doesn't look that bad.
But I think it's an interpretation of the referee.
He was very close.
He saw the intention of...
Valverde of not going to the ball, he's trying to explain to Arbeloa, he's trying to explain to Vinicius Junior.
The referee's been trying to be vocal about it because he was very close and he saw it straight away.
The aggressiveness, the way that he goes on the tackle by Valverde is reckless and that's something that you can expect if the interpretation of the referee is that he was too aggressive.
It's a red card for me.
A yellow, it was maybe too short.
