Should Carlos Espí start for Real Madrid?
Three goals in 38 minutes and still no start this season
The debateCarlos Espí arrived this summer from Levante, whom he kept up with 11 goals last season. At Mourinho's Madrid he has yet to start a game: up to Saturday he had played 38 of the team's 900 minutes and scored three goals (Espanyol, Elche and Roma), according to Goal. In Rome he came off the bench and scored the 3-2 in a comeback that ended 3-4. With Vinícius banned for four league games, including El Clásico, part of the Madrid fan base and the press want him in the starting XI. Mourinho argues that his substitutions follow each game's strategy and, according to Goal, his attacking plan relies on Mbappé up front.
