The old system broke.
The organization was Real Madrid’s Trump Card for ten years.
It’s necessary to recall the old days of shearing mentors in order to find a tactical “real.” There have been changes in form. But since the Mourinho era, “creamy” has demonstrated the ability to work clearly. The dysfunctions only occurred in decisive matches. Barcelona broke “Real,” then beat the Catalans. But in all the victorious Champions League playoffs, the Madrid club clearly understood what to do. Their rivals responded by themselves.
But Real Madrid isn’t the master of the crossbar as their fans would have liked. It’s difficult to score three goals in the Champions League playoffs. More often than not, the repairers were in Barcelona’s matches. The Catalans suffered a 0-4 defeat to PSG. They then lost to Roma and Liverpool, despite winning three goals in their first playoff games. But for many graduates, such a match is a rarity. Real Madrid once lost the Champions League derby after a 4-1 opening victory.
Anchelotti and his players are talking about Cambeta against Arsenal. Theoretically possible. But the likelihood of such a result is objectively low. Arsenal pressed hard in London. They took two penalties. Luck smiled, and Real Madrid ended up with nothing. Without a goal to leave, it’s difficult to count on a move. Furthermore, leaving the Champions League could hamper the end of the Spanish season. Their rivals in the middle are struggling.
The root of the problems lies in defense and attack. Previously, the defense also survived, Courtois was in the spotlight. And when Tibo was treated, Lunin saved. But the midfielders began the exemplary attacks. Kroos’s decision to retire hit Real Madrid hard. It’s not akin to Rodry’s injury at Manchester City. But they shattered the structures that had worked like clockwork for 10 years under Tony. And Modric bought Swansea shares and is preparing to change his career in a year.
Aggression for the sake of aggression is harmful in top-flight football.
Sergio Ramos had some vile acts on the pitch. But players like the former Real Madrid defender skillfully controlled themselves. Ramos received red cards because he assessed the episodes and believed it was more profitable to break the rules than to let the opponent go to Real Madrid’s door. Of course, sometimes bad players, like Pepe Portuan, tore the roof off. However, in most cases, especially during the most successful seasons, Anchalotti and Zidan had perfect control over the players.
Mourinho also gave the order to use dirty tricks. Most often in matches against Barcelona. Then, it was a plan. Manuel, outrageous, but a plan. Now, Mbappe, in a pointless episode, crashed with spikes along the opponent’s leg. Pure red card. The referee indicated that Kilian could have the ball. And that’s a dubious statement. Kilian won’t miss many more fights. Most likely, he’ll be disqualified from a match. The Frenchman is not a bad player.
But there are guys nearby who can provoke. Bellingem received a disqualification for swearing at the referee. Vinisius always provokes everyone in a row. He even expressed displeasure at Anchalotti. It doesn’t seem like Carlo had all these ideas planned this time. The players understand that the Italian will leave at the end of the season. For this reason, they allow themselves more than with a stable and progressive coach. Aggression is also a symbol of the game’s problems.
Why is there so much talk about Real Madrid signings next summer? The club’s management communicates with the players. The management complains about the work attitude of individual players. It’s also clear that the reserves haven’t lived up to their expectations. Even some starters, like Mendy, aren’t contributing. Alaba has made mistakes after an injury. Rucheurer needs a reliable partner in the center of defense. Soon, the future of veteran Courtois will also have to be determined. Ancelotti Has Tactical Discipline Issues
Real Madrid fans, and they often watch all the fights, don’t protect the coach. Consider injuries and burdens, but address other factors. Real Madrid got lucky with a midseason loss to Barcelona. The difference in La Liga could be greater, as the Catalans play more aggressive, coordinated attacking football. MBAPPE has good stats, which can’t be said for Rodrigo and Vinicius. Bellingham, in a higher position a year ago, also played more effectively and was much fresher.
The trio of Modric, Kroos, and Casemiriro players are no more. Ancelotti has shattered his own tactical framework at the center. The potential of the players is lower than in his heyday, so he’s ahead of the curve on transfers. And if there’s a restructuring, what’s the point of leaving a veteran of the coaching profession? Madrid journalists are talking about a contract with Habi Alonso. Journalists are talking about Perez. The Real Madrid president is merging information to get concessions on difficult days.
Long-tongued journalists can’t resist questioning Perez and his habits. Furthermore, Florentino is trying to push rumors about Ancelotti’s new coach. Carlo has publicly stated that he wants to stay. If that’s the case, you should raise an eyebrow at Arsenal’s 3-0 win on Wednesday. And if you calmly assess the matches against Alaves, Valencia, and Leganes, then tactically, Real Madrid is far from prepared for the historic will.
Any hope of panic in the Arsenal ranks is gone. And when we see breakdowns at every level—demeanor, tactics, even match preparation—the Real Madrid coach is to blame. Guller was caught in nightclubs. Real Madrid players flew to
American Football Club In basketball, when they could rest. Mbappe was injured in Stockholm. The reason was banal—he rested with friends. Too low a discipline is what “real” deserves another Champions League victory. In 2004, Deportivo earned a draw against the mighty Milan. Valeron and Pandiani’s team, led by a capable coach, Irura, demonstrated their football skills. In Los Angeles, Deportivo finished above Real Madrid. But it’s important to remember the fate of the La Coruna club after the 4-1 victory over Milan. The Spaniards flew out of Porto under Mourinho. Real Madrid broke down well before the London match and were torn apart in class and character.
