Pedrerol's jab at Florentino and Ancelotti after Real Madrid's victory

Real Madrid keeps their hopes alive for one more day in their victory in the current league campaign. Despite the poor sensations offered during much of the match against Real Mallorca, achieving a rather good second half, the merengue players entrusted themselves to the epic. Once again, the desire to come back was present at Santiago Bernabéu, which closely witnessed the winning goal by Jacobo Ramón.

Thanks to that goal in the last play of the match, Real Madrid adds three vital points to put all the pressure on FC Barcelona's match. Although the real advantage is four points, considering they still haven't played against Espanyol, many believe that Hansi Flick's pupils won't fail... and that Real Madrid's league options ended the moment their defeat in the Montjuïc Clásico was confirmed.

In any case, some Madridists still believe that the feat is possible. Especially after Jacobo Ramón's goal, a goal that has sparked all kinds of comments and analyses in the post-match discussions. One of the most striking came from Josep Pedrerol on "El Chiringuito de Jugones", who described the agonizing way of winning put into play by Real Madrid.

"I'll tell you something: fighting like in the second half, things would be different". Josep Pedrerol understands that the best Real Madrid of this season was seen in the second half of the match against Real Mallorca, but has been absent in the rest. "Things would be different in this League, things would be different in Real Madrid's results", warns the host of "El Chiringuito de Jugones".

Unexpected protagonists

In his particular summary of the clash against Real Mallorca, Josep Pedrerol did not hesitate to highlight Kylian Mbappé, pointing out that he was the "true leader" in the match. "Without Vinícius, without Rodrygo, with Mbappé as the true leader". But Real Madrid also won "with the youth players", notes the veteran Catalan journalist.

That is precisely one of the key points of the brief analysis Josep Pedrerol made about the Real Madrid-Real Mallorca match. Because the victory came "with a pass from Vallejo, with a goal from Jacobo". That play in the last minute only offers one "conclusion: more youth academy and fewer stars".

With that statement, Josep Pedrerol values the inclusion of the youth academy in the first team's plans. This trend has cost Carlo Ancelotti a lot, who has turned to Real Madrid Castilla players when he had no other choice, given the absences. The long list of injuries currently managed in the Valdebebas offices has required the invaluable and constant help of the most advanced pupils from La Fábrica.

Because it hasn't been just in the match against Real Mallorca. The inclusion of the youth players has occurred throughout the season, albeit to a lesser extent than in the clash against the Bermellón team, to solve the shortage of players. Josep Pedrerol believes it is one of the keys to improving this Real Madrid after a certainly irregular season.
