Carlo Ancelotti read the Riot Law to its fantastic line of progress in the half -time of Saturday Derby Madrid, whether we play according to the plan or there will be immediate changes, was the message.
He was received strong and clear and, but for the goalkeeper of Jan Oblid of Atlético de Madrid, an impressive second half of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and, in particular, Jude Bellingham would have obtained the victory of Real Madrid instead of a draw 1-1.
On Tuesday in Etihad, the most popular attack in European football (60 goals among them in all competitions this season) faces the unconvincing defense of Manchester City. I should balance this tiebreaker of the Champions League in favor of the Spanish champions, but there are doubts and concerns.
Bellingham is the arrogant leader of the quartet, but has flirted with crossing the line between bravery and indiscipline during his second season in the league and, along with Aurelien Tchouameni, Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavovinga, will miss the second legitimate if it is reserved.
There is also concern of how the Madrid first level team can be made for the tendency of its talented strikers not to work as Ancelotti demands. If it weren't for a crisis of defensive injuries, the Italian would probably choose not to choose his four star attackers against the Pep Guardiola side.
Bellingham's place is not under discussion. It is still the heartbeat of the team and the captain without the bracelet. The tradition dictates that the player who has played the largest number of games for the club jumps to the team, but if it weren't for that, the 21 -year -old would lead the team in the Etihad on Tuesday.
Jude Bellingham had an outburst with X classification in a man of lines in Saturday's draw with Atlético de Madrid
The midfielder was livid with a narrow call and rebuked the party officer
Bellingham also directed the complaints to the referee when a penalty was granted against his side
He has certainly assumed the responsibilities of the Captain in terms of combat officials arguments. The pitchsis microphones at the Bernabéu on Saturday picked it up in the referee assistant fall with a save of 'f *** you man, f *** off' after a shock call closed it was only 11 minutes. The player in a different stadium would have been reserved for dissent.
He also directed the complaints to the referee after a hard fine against Madrid was granted, this time with a more measured language. “That is crazy, crazy, crazy,” he said and very soon the stadium was singing in unison: “Corruption in the Federation (Spanish FA).” Those followers love Jude's great attitude.
The fact that he grabbed the crotch while complaining to the referee about the penalty and hematter of Atlético del Atlético de Madrid, José Giménez, of the Uruguay of Spanish Television of Night Television. Everything adds to the legend that Bellingham began writing since the first day of last season when he scored in his debut and celebrated in front of the loudest end of the San Mames Athletic Bilbao stadium.
'You don't do that here,' was said Captain Atlético Iker Muniain. Bellingham made fun of excessive sensibilities. 'He likes mud' he agreed experts in the most prominent aspects of Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Atlético on Saturday night. It is literally translated: he likes mud, and basically means: he is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Nor are you afraid to work, but her three companions in those fantastic four do not always have the same appetite. The former Real Madrid player and the League analyst, Álvaro Benito, said on the weekend: 'At a collective level they do not work properly. They do not defend themselves well, they are disorganized, they find it difficult to press effectively and do not go back. ' They had asked him why the Ancelotti team has not been able to win almost all its great games this season, losing to Barcelona twice, Milan and Liverpool.
On Saturday, Ancelotti was more unhappy with the movement of his strikers than his lack of sacrifice. Vinicius was moving away to look for the ball and also stepped on Mbappe's toes. The Frenchman was falling deeper to find space and, therefore, crowded Bellingham.
In the second half, Vinicius hugged the left flank, Rodrygo on the right, and Mbappe and Bellingham hit the defense of Atlético del Atlético that combined for the goal that earned a point to Madrid and kept them at the top. “Bellingham dragged Madrid to the final border,” said Diario as, “imposed the tempo of the second half.”
The fact that Madrid could not go beyond that border and obtain the victory leaves them with just one one and two points on Atlético and Barcelona second and third.

Bellingham remains the heartbeat of the team and the Real Madrid captain without the bracelet
With four defenders of the first team injured (Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba), the last thing they needed was this extra round and against the team they still see as their greatest rivals in Europe.
At one end of the field of tonight, they will have a 21 -year -old defender, Raul Asencio, who City Group tried to sign and send Girona last summer, along with a midfielder Tchouameni at the Defense Center.
At the other end of the field they have four terrifying talents. Ancelotti believes that they will be the difference over both legs, but they must remain in the limits of their plan, and Bellingham needs to stay out of the book of the referee Clement Turpin.
They need it on Tuesday night, but they will need it even more next week.
