Vinicius's goal |
As usual, lately, Real Madrid converted its late goal to a great win with a Great comeback from Vinicius and Tchouameni at Estadio Gran Canaria.
Canaries started the first half with big pressure on Madrid’s players which led to many chances for the home team where Marvin and Sergi Cardona were a danger to Madrid’s defense.
Dani Ceballos replaced Luca Modric but he failed to control the ball in midfield which
made the Yellow Team dominate the first half.
Madrid has
only one shot on target by the Brazilian winger but it was too close to target.
Las Palmas continued its good effort and succeeded in converting that into a goal when Sandro escaped from
defense with his speed and made it across to Javi Muñoz who scored in the 52.
But Vini
refuses the result and starts to spread his magic on the pitch when he assists a
good cross to Carvajal who scored it but it is cancelled due to offside.
Then Vini
himself convert a good chip ball from Camavinga into the net from his left leg
to draw the results 1-1 in 65Th.
Carlo Ancelloti made some tactical
changes in the midfield to give it new refreshment when he entered Tchouameni after only 3 minutes he scored from a header when he took off and met Kroos’s corner into a goal.
With that result, Real Madrid Continues to Lead La Liga with 54 points from 17 matches while Las Palmas stays in 8th place.
After the match, Ancelotti expressed his happiness to the win and he feels that he has a great weapon with ten comebacks this Season.
“It is a tool that we have, a motivated bench, which contributes a lot. They
are a tool that we have, although we would like to get ahead and enjoy the
transitions a little more” Carlo said in a press Conference.
When he asked about Nacho’s season he answered:”
Nacho is having an outstanding season”.
Modric didn’t play a lot this season neither the Almeria
match nor Las Palmas which leads many people to say he is injured but Carlo’s denied
that.
“When I'm not sure he's going to play, I
don't warm him up. I must respect it. When I'm sure he's going to come in, I
warm him up. But when I have doubts, no. He is fine, available for the next
game” the Italian said.
Carlo expressed his admiration for Las Palms
Goalkeeper Valles and said:” He is a
great goalkeeper, very good with his feet and enormously capable in goal. But
we also have very good goalkeepers.
Las Palmas coach GarcÃa Pimienta says
his team was so brave and said: “The team
was good at all times, it hurts you to lose like this but I am very proud of
these players”
Pimienta also continues “We are in the First Division; "It's very difficult... but we can compete with anyone".
When he was asked about his opinion of Vinicius Jr.'s goal he said:” incredible goal”
