The "European Super League" plan was stranded, and Real Madrid, who took the lead, is now the weakest one. During the trip to the United States, Real Madrid lost 0 to 3 to Barcelona and 1 to 3 to Juventus, which washed away the little joy created by the previous two victories.
Tactically, the loss could be attributed to a few technical errors, or a lack of efficiency and bad luck on the offensive end. But from a strategic point of view, it must be admitted that this Real Madrid team has defects in team construction, and it is still the same sentence: it is not a problem that Mbappe can solve when he comes.
After 90 minutes of the game against Juventus, the score flashed from 2-2 to 1-3. Rodrygo was brought down in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty, only a free kick. At the last moment, Juventus scored the third goal with more plays and less in the long-term counterattack.
Throughout the game, Real Madrid had a clear advantage in CAB토토 statistics: as many as 34 shots, 8 of which were on target, and the ball possession time and the number of corner kicks far exceeded their opponents. What needs to be reviewed is that 20 minutes before the game, the team entered the state too slowly. In the first minute, the opponent passed a series of fast passes to break through the frontal defense zone, and the second conceded goal was basically the same.
Real Madrid's offensive organization does not seem to be a big problem, and the distribution of ball rights is much more reasonable than the previous game against Barcelona. Vinicius only took the ball in key positions, and Joselu, who started the game, concentrated on opening up space and grabbing points on the other side. The role of Bellingham has been further amplified. Except for a stoppage that caused the audience to laugh, the overall performance did not "disappear from the audience" as some media said. At least there was a very eye-catching long-range shot and a shot to Vinicius. The straight plug is worthy of praise.
The question is, such a strong offensive only got one goal, or Kroos' long pass of more than 30 meters found Vinicius. The latter ran out with speed, which is not a new tactic. Instead, the reporters conceded two goals, and the reporters deliberately pretended to be confused, not mentioning that Modric lost the ball and lost his position in the backcourt.
It can be said that the scenes and scores of Real Madrid's last two games did not match, and it was not a "should" or "normal" result. But this is the case in general games, that is, there will be situations such as losing to Sheriff Tiraspol and Mallorca.
For Real Madrid, there is only so much room for error every season. If you can't ensure that you win under the advantage of the scene, let alone defeat your competitors, the result is that you will drift away from the champion. To say that Modric is responsible for conceding the ball is not to criticize Modric, but to face up to: the problems that were not solved 3 years ago are still not solved now, and the holes are getting bigger and bigger. Because looking forward, the Croats are still in high spirits. The quality of his passing remains unmatched, which has helped Bellingham a lot.
Real Madrid's midfield configuration is unprecedentedly rich, but even if Bellingham and Brahim Dias are counted as half forwards, they can only play 4 midfielders. The biggest gain in the past two games is that the midfielder is not strong enough. In a head-to-head contest, they can't beat Barcelona, and they can't contain and delay the opponent's counterattack when suppressing the opponent. There is no need for Modric to run forward and chase back desperately in the warm-up match, but if the schedule is halfway through and the physical exhaustion period is reached, who can guarantee that he will be able to ensure coverage if he works hard? Looking at it, even Chuameni seems to be slow in defense, and the only one who can ensure coverage is Kamavinga, who has played full-back and knows the pain of full-back.
Why is Modric out of position? Both conceded goals were pierced on the right, probably because Lucas Vazquez was the starter. Real Madrid now has 3 right backs, but the one who is really reliable is Carvajal. Everyone knows where Lucas Vazquez's upper limit is and what kind of work he can do.
Odriozola also got playing time in this game, and his speed and defense are passable. If he ends up staying with the team, he is likely to be used as a left-back option, because Ferland Mendy's injury is less reliable than his cross. Congratulations to Fran Garcia for taking the main position. Judging from these two games, he has good physical fitness and good physical confrontation, but his pass reception is only at Vallecano's level for the time being.
The situation is clear. There are no Marcelo, Ramos, Casemiro, or even Asensio in Ancelotti's main lineup. Lingham and Vinicius, who wanted to be the top card. Real Madrid does not have an All-Star team right now, but there are many patch players with "great potential". In this way, it is not difficult to understand that Ancelotti has let everyone, including the echelons, play for a while in these few games. It is to test tactics and employ people, and to show the top management who must do it, who can do it, and who can do it. No matter what. It's good to understand this as "give me Mbappe", but it is obviously not that simple.
