Marco Asensio regains his rhythm. The midfielder prepared Lucas Vásquez for Real Madrid’s first goal in his 2-0 win over Celta de Vigo in the 17th week of La Liga, before scoring his first of the crusade: a welcome touch for the champions, but another blow to Eden. Hazard, who disappears with the white shirt.
Asensio’s functionality marked a return to the highlight for one of Real’s most valuable strikers, whose career slowed down due to a nasty knee ligament injury before last season’s start.
The 24-year-old charged Real just under four million euros ($4. 9 million) in 201four and is one of the few players to restrict opportunities for Hazard, who signed for a reported payment of around one hundred million euros ($113 million). In 2019, it was then contested through the Belgian media for 160 million euros ($197 million) Array broadcast through sport. If you are paid for your stay, the latter agreement will verify it as the club’s maximum signature.
Hazard is available for variety after recovering from injury on his part, but lately has found himself watching from the bench, controlled by his lack of playing time, while Asensio, in his heyday, becomes a genuine player.
Asensio plays the Royal in those days. The same can be said of Vasquez, who have a duty to bet on a club not easy, but without the heavy whispers of sums of massive movements on their shoulders, which can be a tension for strikers like Hazard and Vinicius Junior. As a component of the contribution of the Spaniards, those of Zinedine Zidane put pressure on Atletico Madrid, first qualifier, which he won at Alavés.
Atletico’s victory is dramatic. Barcelona was not so much, as it lasted to beat Huesca 0-1, so perhaps the other engaging story of week 17 Bryan Gil, the 19-year-old winger, scored two goals in the rain to seal Eibar’s first home win over Granada.
Gil is loaned by Sevilla, a team that already has talented offensive midfielders. After demonstrating his skill and cunning with the ball in the last matches with Eibar, the Gaditano striker nevertheless proved his quality with two well-taken finishes.
A player endowed with the ball on his feet, Gil brings a hint of delicacy to a team full of courage and physicality, which this time his contribution has taken Eibar away from the relegation posts, at least for now, in what is a very congested back of the table.
On the other hand, some other emerging star on the scoreboard of villarreal, fourth seed, who continues ahead of Barcelona after his 2–1 home win over the Levant.
Fernando Niño, 20, perfectly placed to score his purpose at the moment in six League matches, his appearance has added even greater firepower to the attack of Villarreal, which already includes the fit striker Gerard Moreno.
With coach Unai Emery, Villarreal suffered a successful streak and has lost twice in 17 La Liga games; a certain sign of progress after suffering 14 defeats in the 2019/20 competition.
