This is the third defeat of Real Madrid in the last five games, and the root of the defeat is defense. In these five games, Real Madrid conceded nine goals. Although the poor performance of the "defense team" is a big reason, of course, we can't leave all the defense problems to the defense line. In fact, the undefended midfield is the biggest problem of Real Madrid's defensive failure, and the lack of a defensive line with good running ability may be the fundamental reason for Real Madrid's defensive failure.
Of course, purely technical midfielders can also be used, such as Carlo Ancelotti's Cross -J-Luo-modric combination at the Bernabeu. But obviously, Zidane is not good enough to play such a high-tech combination, and forging Cross-Kasemi-modric's super iron triangle is the important reason for Zidane's three consecutive championships.
However, with Cross and modric getting older, Real Madrid's midfield control is declining. More importantly, after Cristiano Ronaldo left, Real Madrid's offensive firepower dropped sharply, and the midfield firepower alone was insufficient. Last season, modric and casemiro both scored the highest goals in Real Madrid's career. So far this season, Real Madrid have scored five goals in midfield, accounting for 1/3 of the total goals. However, in
Today, Real Madrid's third midfielder has taken on more tasks, greater physical strength and is moving forward. However, their physical strength is gradually declining. With the exception of casemiro, Cross and modric, the golden age of their careers has passed, and valverde is not a defensive midfielder. So as long as casemiro has any problems or can't play, Real Madrid's defense will inevitably collapse.
Casemiro played in the league this season, and Real Madrid only lost 1 game, which was the last game lost to Aravis. In that game, casemiro got a yellow card in the first18th minute, which made the whole game dare not make much moves. In this game, casemiro sat on the bench for 90 minutes, watching his opponent tear up the midfield of Real Madrid.
In fact, Real Madrid had already discussed the idea of filling the midfield this summer, and both gossip candidates were suitable for Real Madrid-Bogba and Vanderbilt. Although neither of them is a purely defensive midfielder, their defensive ability is good. Vanderbilt was the midfielder who stole the ball the most last season, and Bogba was the midfielder who regained the ball the most. These two men can make up for the lack of midfield sports ability and confrontation ability of Real Madrid.
But Zidane favored Bogba, and Galeries Lafayette was more interested in the Dutch. As a result, neither of them came. Since the second palace, the president and coach of Real Madrid always seem to be fighting. Zidane wants his son to be superior, and Galeries Lafayette wants to reuse navas. Finally, navas and Luca both left; Real Madrid president wants Zidane to reuse the Brazilian winger. As a result, Zidane frequently used asensio and Azar, and they always fought against each other, which undoubtedly hurt Real Madrid.
Real Madrid attack now, don't score, defend, can't prevent. More possession, but no defense to stabilize.
Many things are also fate.
Azar, buy it as the core. That's right. It really works. (I remember someone analyzed that Azar's position in Real Madrid was different from that in the car, which led to poor performance. There is indeed a reason for this. But it still works. ) But Iron Man turned glass when he went to La Liga and got drunk. If the injury lasts for about a year at a time, Zidane can rest assured to straighten the Brazilian Gemini. You charge for a month and stand by and charge for one or two games, which really suits you.
Brazilian Gemini is still too young, and a giant like Real Madrid can't expect two new recruits to conquer the world. And Azar. Come back and see from time to time.
Valverde, a really good player. However, the common fault of a typical hexagonal player, you can say that he is proficient in everything, or you can say that he is poor in everything. Moreover, the young man is inexperienced, and sometimes he should learn to be lazy, otherwise it will affect his continuous play in the future. I often see young men running errands and cramping. So, experience. But there is definitely a bright future.
Casmiro, there is not even a substitute. Defend the lower back, even if you can keep up physically, you should also guard against red and yellow cards. Now he even surpasses Cross. Why? Because you can attack indiscriminately, but you can't have loopholes to defend.
Cross, without modric's partner, is even more helpless and in a backward position, and his attack and speed-up help to Real Madrid are not as great as that of modric. With the growth of age and various honors, the motivation is also small.
Modric, I'm glad he can stay, but it's impossible to continue playing at this age. I can't ask too much.
Asensio, another Jose. But now it's better than Jose.
Isco, it's hard to say anything without playing. Isco gives people the impression that his performance is unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his personal feeling is still a psychological problem. His technique is fine. He played well for a while. Then I can't. I think it has something to do with his own psychological orientation and the arrangement of the coach. He still wants to be 10.
Odegard, continue to observe, his style and level, really may not be able to stand in Real Madrid.
Ramos, stay! Don't say anything
Valanne, probably used to playing football with his boss, can't lead the defence by himself. Enough level.
Underwear, forget it, go to navas, Real Madrid at least this deal.
In fact, Real Madrid should still call 442. Real Madrid's advantage lies in the midfield, which helps to defend and sharpen the opponent's defense. The front line of 45 1 is too single and it is difficult to score goals. There is too much pressure in midfield now. On paper, Real Madrid's midfield strength is still first-class. A thicker midfield can save energy, reduce red and yellow cards and control the ball better. Isco 28 Cross 30 casemiro 28 valverde 2 1 asensio 24 Age is OK.
Real Madrid is so successful in fighting back, but now they are studying, but Real Madrid can't play.
Coach can't
At present, Real Madrid will not only miss two games, but also lose many games. Last season, Barcelona unfortunately met Bayern. If Real Madrid met, it would be a fiasco. At present, Real Madrid and Barcelona are nearly as bad as each other, and the mocking value has been banned by Barcelona. People don't realize that Real Madrid is actually very poor! !
Compared with three years ago, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both weak teams! Buy a star quickly. Mbappé said it was a few years ago. Is it so delayed to buy C Ronaldo? Not only weak, but also poor. I heard that Barcelona is going bankrupt, but I don't think Real Madrid is much better!
