[Scene] The stadium is simple and unobtrusive, "open to the face", Rayo Vallecano draws with Real Madrid

. Facing Rayo Vallecano, Mbappé was almost missing in the first half and did not complete his first shot until the beginning of the second half. This was also his only shot in the game. Vinicius, who was ridiculed by Rayo Vallecano fans, did not have an explosive mentality in this game, but he failed to respond with an outstanding performance. He fell into the encirclement of Rayo Vallecano on several individual breakthroughs. Compared with the El Clasico and the game against Valencia, Vinicius returned to mediocrity in the last two games. Bellingham and Guler's performance in this campaign was also unsatisfactory, and Rodrigo, who came off the bench, was also unable to provide changes.

When all the frontcourt generals are in mediocre condition, Real Madrid's offense is more of a separate battle, and the disadvantage of being unable to form an overall coordination becomes apparent. In the past few years, when Real Madrid couldn't open a situation, they also had the skills to break the situation through set pieces and crosses. When Real Madrid struggled to break through in the frontcourt, Carreras also made many passes. Alexander-Arnold, who came on as a substitute in the second half, also tried to deliver artillery shells to the frontcourt several times, but with little success. Real Madrid's 8 corner kicks and multiple frontcourt set-pieces did not pose a real threat. At the post-match press conference, a reporter also asked Alonso why he did not consider letting Gonzalo and Endrick play, or even give them a chance to warm up. Alonso just responded: "We have other forwards on the court, and they can also create threats."

Previously, Spanish media had stated that Alonso was training. The nearly stringent requirements during training prevented Real Madrid players from fully adapting. After the game, "Marca" pointed out: Judging from the state of Real Madrid in recent games, their pressing is no longer as active as in the games at the beginning of the season. The team appears more relaxed on the court, and there is a certain degree of disconnect. The players' dissatisfaction with Alonso's training methods seems to have appeared.

Before the game against Rayo Vallecano, Alonso commented on the team's lack of movement in the battle against Liverpool: "It must be looked at based on the specific situation and cannot be drawn from just one game." However, Real Madrid in this game was still in a state of confusion and basically did not give their opponents much pressure. After the game, the entire Real Madrid team did not stay too much in the mixed mining area, and everyone left the Vallecas Stadium without expression. Fortunately, after this game, Real Madrid still ranks first in La Liga with a 3-point advantage, and the upcoming national team match week is a good opportunity for the whole team to make adjustments.
