The defense line is all "skeleton". If you lose all your dignity, won t Real Madrid buy the defender?

In the first half, he encountered a four-goal reversal and almost lost his fifth goal at the end. In the background of the scene where Yamal, Rafinia and Fermin celebrated freely, the wounds of the torn defense line in the white clothes were pouring in blood. The third-line battlefield encountered four kills, and the failure of this game was particularly tragic. All Real Madrid's dignity and glory seemed to be exhausted in the national derby. Ancelotti's mid-term transformation around the frontcourt stars was completely failed. Xavi Alonso will complete the restart of the third phase of the Galaxy from a "ruins".

[All are "skeletons", the tragedy has been decided]

The four starting guards are all guest appearances, the area in front of the central defenders is dominated by offensive players, the defensive responsibilities of the side midfielders on both sides are unclear, and the contribution of the double forward combination to the defense is better than nothing... When all the players in the top 5 appearance rankings are on the wall, Ancelotti can only put forward this "substitute" defense line, and the tragedy has already happened before the game starts.

Considering the rankings of both sides in the standings, Real Madrid's desire for three-pointers is stronger in this game. In addition to protecting the defense line, Bellingham, Valverde and Cerbalos also need to actively support the frontcourt. The gap between them and their teammates behind them has become a stage for Yamal and Rafinia to gallop. If Ancelotti had made mistakes in setting up the lineup, it might be a questionable point to arrange Guerre's starting lineup. The young player has a weak presence on both ends of the offense and defense, and Vasquez is flat.

Guerre has performed well in recent leagues, but he seems to be unable to handle competitions like the National Derby, and Real Madrid is not on the right.

[There are holes everywhere, and there is no place to put the shortcomings]

Because Barcelona's positional offensive mode is obvious "asymmetry", Real Madrid chose to concentrate their efforts around Yamal and strive to achieve the goal of defending the enemy outside the penalty area. This move brought a two-goal lead at the beginning. As Barcelona gradually entered the state, Real Madrid could no longer keep up with the opponent's rhythm and could only continue to shrink near the penalty area. The scene was very passive. Fran Garcia's side was in danger, and Vazquez's defense area was completely in decline.

Real Madrid tried to start from the encirclement of Yamal and move the defense line forward. Barcelona adapted to the rhythm of the game in just 20 minutes and found a way to crack it.

made multiple mistakes in return passes, and the opponent directly cut the ball under his feet. He was crushed by the opponent in frequent one-on-one competitions. Due to the lack of tight marks, Vasquez lost the ball this time. This time, he had no reason to make excuses for himself. However, considering that Rafinia, Ferran Torres and Herard Martin took turns to his defense activities, it was a tough time to ask the thin player who changed from a winger to play defender to solve the problem independently.

There is no rigorous system to guarantee the bottom line, and the shortcomings in the personal abilities of Real Madrid backcourt players are infinitely magnified. In the first leg of the league, Real Madrid suffered a 4-goal defeat. Vazquez complained after the game that some players lack collective spirit. Ancelotti immediately issued an order to "do a good defense", but unexpectedly it was a succession of losing streak in the Champions League (AC Milan & Liverpool). When it was found that the hole in the backcourt could not be filled and the formation was difficult to take into account both the head and tail, Ancelotti chose to give up the moderate 442 formation and changed the center of gravity of the formation to 4231 in front. Vinicius, Mbappe, Bellingham and Rodrigo lined up on the front line, and the midfield was handed over to Ceballos and Valverde, and the disconnection between the front and back became increasingly serious.

When the mid-season change to the team, Ancelotti has given up on defense. From the crushing defeat in the Spanish Super League final to the successive massacres of Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's recent encounter is completely "planned".

After the defeat in the final of the Spanish Super League Cup, the dividends created by this change of formation have ended, and Real Madrid has since slid into the abyss where all four are empty. Rudiger announced his season reimbursement after losing the Cup del Rey final, becoming the last straw that crushed the White-Clothing defense line.

[Modric brings changes, Real Madrid also wants to buy a midfielder]

From spending hundreds of millions of euros to signing Mbappe with high salary and signing fees, Real Madrid has completed the upgrade of the midfield and frontcourt in the past two seasons, and the process of replacing new and old defense lines has been shelved. Fran Garcia and Vazquez's defense zones were reduced to scorched earth, but Ancelotti chose to shoot from the midfield when substitutions, which was not only because there were no defenders to switch, but also because the midfielders performed very poorly.

Real Madrid's defense line is replaced by temporary workers. Barcelona's backcourt also lacks many main players. Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin have mediocre defensive abilities, but they can integrate into the system of pass control and oppression, and use the overall strength to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. In the process of setbacks in multiple lines, Real Madrid has become a team without characteristics and style. The technical advantages established in the midfield era of the ceremony have disappeared. Not only can defenders not be protected by the system, but their flaws are infinitely magnified.

Valverde's best position is the "wicket midfielder". Ceballos' ability is not enough to control high-end games. Real Madrid not only needs to buy defenders, but also midfielders.

As early as the "regular season" stage of the Champions League, the midfielder in the new ceremony was dismantled due to poor performance. Joan Améni was forced to participate in the rotation of the defense line because he was unable to play a role in the four battles. When the whole team resolutely set up a bus, Joan Aménie's outstanding ability to face the head-on confrontation can be demonstrated. When the pace of the game causes the central defender to expand the defense area, he will feel very struggling. It is obviously unrealistic to expect Raul Asensio, who has obvious shortcomings in physical fitness, to fill him up. Ceballos was once considered a stand-in for Cross, but in high-end games like the National Derby, the former European Youth MVP looks like he is not the one who can dominate the tripod..

uses rigorous local pressing to drive the offense. There are too few such scenes. Real Madrid's running and confrontation ability are seriously insufficient, and its tactical styles are outdated by the times.

After Modric appeared, Real Madrid's scene changed a lot. In the 70th minute, Real Madrid completed a partial siege at the sideline of the midfield. Modric successfully instigated an offensive. Vinicius and Mbappe shot the goal twice when counterattacked, and the latter scored a hat trick. Diligent running, active confrontation, rigorous local pressure and pressing... Real Madrid can play high-intensity football in some periods. Their main problem is that they lack tactical continuity and the running volume of frontcourt players is too small, which seriously affects the overall operating speed.

played 120 minutes in the middle of the week and was still able to enjoy the weekend. Barcelona's current state stems from the efforts of Frick and the players on the training ground.

From the 4-goal defeat in the national derby in the first leg, to the failure of Anfield in the "regular season" stage of the Champions League, from the defeat of the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, to the failure of the King's Cup final not long ago, in these four games that determine the trend of the season, Real Madrid's running distance is significantly behind their opponents. On the night of the Champions League, Real Madrid ran 12.7 kilometers less than their opponents (101.2-113.9), and the gap in the King's Cup final reached 8 kilometers (104.5-112.6), and both games were "playing one less person". This time, Real Madrid not only failed to give Barcelona strength, but was defeated in a short period of time. Not being able to escape the opponent has become a fatal injury to the team.

When Nacho, Cross and Benzema took away their technical advantages, Real Madrid's deficit in physical output cannot be filled, and it is reasonable to suffer a crushing defeat. According to statistics from Spanish media, Lewandowski (36 years old) averaged 10.1 kilometers in the Champions League this season, while Rodrigo, Vinicius and Mbappe were only 9.5 kilometers, 8.8 kilometers and 8 kilometers respectively. The lineup is top-heavy. Instead of easeing the pressure on the backcourt with excessive output, the forward players show off in a "walking" posture. The Galaxy battleships paid a heavy price for their pride and arrogance.

[The sign-free cannot solve all problems, it's time for Real Madrid to pay]

In the past ten years, Real Madrid has swept Europe with technical football, but they have also won the championship with defense. In the 2019/20 season, Real Madrid only scored 70 goals in La Liga, but relied on the best defense lines in the five major leagues (conceded 25 goals in 38 games). At that time, the white-clothed warrior was able to quickly launch a counter-attack after losing the ball, setting up layers of obstacles between the center line and the penalty area, and the fighting will and fighting spirit were moving. Now it's time to complete redemption by defending again. Xavi Alonso advocates overall football and is good at using a five-guard formation, and is undoubtedly the best candidate to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

tactical innovation requires the coach and players to work together. Xavi Alonso will bring Real Madrid a highly recognizable tactical style, starting from improving training quality and strict locker room management to change the temperament of the entire team. Xavi Alonso was able to lead Leverkusen to create miracles in his "second grade", and the assistance of Zachar, Grimaldo and others played a key role. Real Madrid also needs to undergo a comprehensive renovation of the midfield and backcourt. Whether Florentino can get out of the solidified thinking of the "Zidane + Pavin" policy and realize the limitations of the sign-free law will become the key to affecting the future trend of the "Galaxy Third Phase".
