Alaves closed its 'stage' with a flawless win over Castellón in Vall D' en Bas. The men of Quique Sánchez Flores remain undefeated in this preseason and accumulate quality minutes that are accompanied by good feelings. This Friday they again left their door to zero, just like against Girona, and also were accurate to take advantage of some of the goal situations that were generated.
What happened?
Quique again bet on the 5-3-2 and the main novelty was the presence of Mikel Rodríguez in the engine room alongside Antonio Blanco and Pablo Ibáñez. The babazorro squad imposed their superiority from the start and took the lead from the 11-meter mark after Matthys collided with Mañas inside the area. Lucas Boyé did not forgive from the 11-meter mark. The Argentine striker would double the distance in the score with a shot from the front line after a recovery by Mañas.
Why it matters for Alaves?
The Madrid coach changed his entire midfield after the break. Guevara, Denis Suárez and Aleñá formed the trident and Miguel Rodríguez made his debut as a winger. Castellón had several opportunities to cut the distance through Nzanza and Douglas, but they were not accurate and Mariano had time to score the second goal of the summer in the 30 minutes that Quique gave him in another transition that ended with a release to space and a cross shot.
What comes next?
