Álvaro Benito Points to 2 Real Madrid Stars and Warns: With That Mentality...

The Madrid classic was a match filled with goals that will be etched in history. With several players performing at their best, one of the most outstanding was Brahim Díaz, who scored the winning goal. Fighting for every ball and contributing to defensive tasks, his level led to criticism of two teammates.

"With that mentality, the team suffers and the midfielders have to work twice as hard." These were the words with which Álvaro Benito spoke about the poor performance of Mbappé and Vinícius. Making it clear that neither met the minimum requirements, the former player used Brahim Díaz as an example.

"He is the example that you can leave high-level offensive plays and give your all in every defensive ball and be competitive." Through this statement, Álvaro left Brahim as a true example to follow for the rest of the squad.

The Two Criticized

Considered the best players in the world, Vinícius and Mbappé always find a way to shine. However, during the last classic, neither was able to connect with their best version. Despite some standout plays, their performance throughout the entire match left much to be desired by the fans and the club.

Part of the criticism they have received is due to their lack of defensive commitment to the team throughout the match. Instead of helping the club in several dangerous plays, both chose to stay away from the action, which led to the goal.

Álvaro Benito's words made clear the consequences of both Vinícius and Mbappé not supporting the rest of the team. While the criticism is understandable, a noticeable improvement is expected from both in the upcoming matches.

The Commitment Needed

Throughout the entire season, Ancelotti has worked for the entire squad to contribute in various offensive and defensive matters. Despite having achieved a 2-1 victory, this has not been enough to erase the poor performance of his two stars.
