José Luis Sánchez's Harsh Attack on the Team for the Defeat in Bilbao: 'Horrible'

The journalist and commentator didn't hesitate to criticize the irregular moment of the merengue team

Real Madrid's visit to the new San Mamés has left an unexpected defeat that has taken Carlo Ancelotti's men out of the fight for the League. At the same time, it has erased some of the good feelings they had after the game against Getafe at Santiago Bernabéu and brought back many of the aspects of the previous crisis .

So much so that the rumors about several of the club's suspects , such as Carlo Ancelotti and Kylian Mbappé , have quickly returned to the club's front line of information. José Luis Sánchez , after what happened in Bilbao, has been really harsh: "Today, 75 minutes for Madrid, horrible."

The team's poor performance was reflected in José Luis Sánchez's reactions: "Madrid hadn't had a shot on goal. We can talk about the penalty. We can talk about Mbappé's personality, whether Bellingham should have taken it, whether Ancelotti should have told one or the other to take it..."

These doubts about the competitive moment that Real Madrid is in only contribute to generating more bad feelings. José Luis Sánchez insists that the white team has played "75 minutes, playing for the League, which are not typical of a winning Real Madrid. They are not and that is the problem."

Critical Analysis

José Luis Sánchez points out that "Mbappé can score the 1-1, but it doesn't solve the problem." The LaSexta journalist understands that Real Madrid's problems are much bigger than a possible draw against Athletic Club and a missed penalty .

The defeat of the Merengue squad means that they have lost almost all the good feelings recovered after the forgettable visit to the Liverpool stadium . Kylian Mbappé, in that match, also didn't have a remarkable performance... in which he also missed a penalty that would've meant a draw.

The competitive irregularity that Real Madrid has been experiencing for just over a month is extending at the worst possible time. Because the Merengue team has a really complicated calendar ahead of it for December that hasn't started as it should.

The defeat against Athletic Club de Bilbao is a new symptom of a significant collection of problems that don't seem to have a solution. At least for now. The change from one season to another is causing many debates and criticisms such as those of José Luis Sánchez in 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' .
