No hay nada de lo que preocuparse en el Real Madrid: el jardín merengue está a salvo. Se fue Zidane, cuya flor en los momentos complicados llegó a dibujar una leyenda sobre el francés con frutos en forma de títulos y entonces se temió lo peor en el Bernabéu. Sin embargo, aterrizó Ancelotti y en su segundo partido demostró que él también tiene otra flor. Vinicius. Una flor más pequeña, más joven, de tallo corto pero que está regando en Valdebebas y que ya está empezando a dar sus frutos.
Ayer ante el Levante, el brasileño, con dos goles de definición perfecta, su kryptonita hasta la fecha, salvó al Real Madrid del primer tropiezo de la temporada y consiguió maquillar el golpe hasta dejarlo solo en un rasguño. Nunca es positivo un empate en el Real Madrid, pero siempre es mejor un punto que ninguno. De cajón.
Abanderado de la ilusión
Y es que al doblete de Vinicius, hay que sumarle su gol conseguido en Vitoria durante la primera jornada y asegurar sin miedo al error aunque sí con algo de apuro que, actualmente, el brasileño es el Pichichi del campeonato. De un campeonato sin Messi, claro, que no es lo mismo. Pero dejando al ‘10’ a parte, lo cierto es que Vinicius ya abandera la ilusión del madridismo.
Un madridismo que se empieza a hacerse a la idea de que Mbappé, precisamente, va a jugar con Messi esta temporada y de que, por lo tanto, le toca inventarse nuevos héroes. Para ello bien vale Vinicius, que de carisma va sobrado, Isco, que tuvo buenos minutos y recordó al jugador de fútbol que fue, o Gareth Bale , cuyo primer gol en el Real Madrid tras su vuelta fue tan rápido (lo marcó en el minuto 5) como poco efusivo. Apenas nació una sonrisa del rostro del galés.
Así pues, en el Real Madrid, cada uno a lo suyo. La afición, con su héroe, Ancelotti con su flor y el presidente cada vez más cerca de volver a su gran fichaje: el Bernabéu.
