If there is a name that is on everyone’s lips after Real Madrid’s match against SC Braga, it is Brahim Díaz. Without Bellingham, who did not play because he suffered a dislocated shoulder, It was time for Brahim, who had only played 16 minutes in the last four games. He had not played as a starter since the game against Las Palmas on September 27, the only game he has played as a starter.
Second goal of the season
The ex-Milan player who arrived in July took advantage of the crack left open by Jude Bellingham’s replacement. Like the day against Las Palmas, he started and scored, or in other words, he scores a goal every 96 minutes. In both games the goal has the same value, since it was the one that opened the can.

In addition to the goal, Brahim was very involved during the game. He intervened on 65 occasions, only Kroos with 96 and Camavinga with 73 surpassed him. On attack He completed three dribbles and attempted nine.
“I may have been unfair to him these months”
While it is true, where Real Madrid’s number 21 is most successful is as a midfielder. And therein lies the problem; It is Jude Bellingham’s natural home. Even so, Ancelotti acknowledged in the post-match press conference that he had been unfair to him this time: “Yes, I may have been unfair to him these months. It’s okay to say it. As an excuse…Bellingham was in his position.”
In the last gamethe 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecanothe changes that coach Ancelotti made were not understood, since He didn’t give Brahim a minute, who could have helped break the deadlock in the game. In fact, he gave priority to other positions, like Nacho.

“The coach is always there and gives me confidence, even if you don’t see him”
With so little participation from the player in general in the last few games, there has been speculation that something is going on between him and the Italian coach, but the player hugged him when he scored and spoke about him in the mixed zone: “The coach is always there and gives me confidence, even if you don’t see him”. Brahim also spoke about how he felt during the match: “I am very happy for the goal and for being able to contribute to the team. Rodrygo made a fantastic play. I have worked a lot playing in the midfield position, but I am very satisfied because it means that the coach can count on me in various positions.“.
