Kiyan SobhaniHOST
I always liked his performances.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
So is Diomande ready, and is that the next domino that falls if Vinicius gets benched? Um, because I don't, I don't personally see this Mbappe left wing thing with Espi up top.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
Um, I'm just not sure if Mourinho would do that.
Matt WiltseHOST
Yeah.
Matt WiltseHOST
And for me personally, I don't know what Mourinho would do if, let's say, if he benched Vini, I mean, he probably would feel now the pressure to start Diomande given the price tag.
Matt WiltseHOST
But for me personally, I would just shift the formation.
Matt WiltseHOST
Um, I would go 4-4-2, and I would have Mbappe as kind of like a second striker, left-sided striker, and I'd probably alternate between Espi and Brahim alongside him.
Matt WiltseHOST
And, uh, and then all the width comes from the fullbacks, and you play kind of a four, four-man midfield of Jude hedged more towards the left, Arda hedged more towards the right as the advanced number eights, but on each flank, and then Bernardo and Fede in the middle.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
Gonzalo Garcia started up top.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
Then you had Carlos Espi coming off the bench for just 16 minutes.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
He came in the 74th minute.
Kiyan SobhaniHOST
What other Maradises were involved today? Those are off the top of my head.
Eric KrakauerHOST
The defeat to Atletico aside, Madrid has already lost away at Betis, barely beat Espanyol at home and Elche on the road.
Eric KrakauerHOST
Lanky Carlos Espi coming to the rescue late in both those matches.
Eric KrakauerHOST
And looked second best by a mile when they beat Inter in their Champions League opener.
Eric KrakauerHOST
Displays that betrayed Madrid's lack of balance.
VicHOST
But Any other names you think should have gotten the call-up, like Sergio Carmelo? I mean, of course, Roberto Fernandez got in because he's more consistent from the start of the season.
VicHOST
Real Madrid fans are saying, why you didn't call up Carlos Espí? Why did you call up for under-21? We were saying Carlos Espí since the end of last season, but of course, he doesn't get proper full minutes at Real Madrid, so it's understandable he goes for under-21 teams.
VicHOST
But any other names that surprised you? Any omissions or also any names that you were like, why are they still in the team? Something like that before we close the episode?
RahulHOST
You know what? After our summer of moaning, I've learned better than to question the genius of Luis De La Fuente.
Herculez GomezPANELIST
Real Madrid have this in 'em.
Herculez GomezPANELIST
Where's Espi? Where's Espi? Where's Espi?"
Kasey KellerPANELIST
[laughs]
Alexis NunesHOST
Ah.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Younes' father has already brought success to Germany, winning a silver Olympic medal in taekwondo at Sydney 2000.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Carlos Espi, forward, Real Madrid, 21 years old.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Why on earth doesn't he play more? After Sunday's derby loss to Atletico, Real fans would rather not look at the table.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Their beloved team are only fourth, and if not for Carlos Espi, things would be even worse.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
The nearly two-meter-tall striker has played just 25 minutes across seven rounds, yet he's scored two goals, both last-minute winners.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
His goals per match is thus an absurd 7.25. Last season, Espy made a name for himself at Levante, scoring 11 goals to help them avoid relegation.
Hercules GomezPANELIST
And I tell you what, for a split second, you're thinking here, hey, Real Madrid have this in them.
Hercules GomezPANELIST
Where's Espi? Where's Espi? Where's
Alexis NunesHOST
Espi? Jose Mourinho saying, vamos, vamos, let's keep this going.
Alexis NunesHOST
But in the end, they could not.
Alexis NunesHOST
Cholo Simeone celebrating, fist pumps and all going down the tunnel because Atlético de Madrid once again getting the better of their crosstown rivals, Real Madrid at the Metropolitano.
DanHOST
He's having to sub off early in, against Elche.
DanHOST
They're winning two-nothing and they end up coming back 2-2, and they had Espi.
DavePANELIST
Yeah.
DanHOST
This guy's another creative talent that came out of nowhere-
Graham HunterHOST
But the goal and its execution, well, that was thrilling from Rui Romero.
Graham HunterHOST
In fact, it was reminiscent of the goal which his ex-teammate Carlos Espí scored but had ruled out for Madrid at Betis the other week.
Graham HunterHOST
Do you remember it? Overhead, overcoming the odds and over the goal line from an unfeasible distance.
Graham HunterHOST
Then, oh my word, there was the Molero goal.
Terry GibsonHOST
Struggled a bit last season.
Terry GibsonHOST
I'm surprised Carlos Espi, I thought, might have been an obvious one.
Terry GibsonHOST
He's with the under-21s.
Terry GibsonHOST
Gonzalo Garcia is another one.
Jon DriscollHOST
yeah right I guess that's
Terry GibsonHOST
more of Iglesias doesn't it it's that auxiliary they've got Isabel still in it Ferran Torres is still in it Fermin Lopez is now back in the squad as well after missing the World Cup through injury if they're looking for a centre forward I think I believe they must be Then eventually, is Roberto Fernandes the answer? Probably not.
Terry GibsonHOST
Carlos Espi and Gonzalo Garcia probably do offer more potential, I think, than Roberto Fernandes.
Jon DriscollHOST
Right.
