a chaotic team, short of ideas and without mastery in the areas

He the real Madrid living a nightmare. The return of Dortmund It was nothing more than a curtain which ultimately could not cover the great sporting crisis in which the white team was plunged. There are nine goals conceded in the last three matches, all celebrated in Santiago Bernabéuand sensations that do not invite optimism.

Against Milan, the definitive symptom came from seeing that Real Madrid are sick. Without ideas, missing the goal, pressing poorly, defending less well and without dominating any phase of the game at any time. And it was precisely not the Milan of Arrigo Sacchi who played at the Bernabéu. A team of ‘rossonero’ in crisis has arrived at the white stronghold. But no matter, the white stronghold seems very easy to desecrate this season.

Nothing happened from Real Madrid on a night to forget. One more in this course. The Whites had not lost two goals at home since 2020 and it was the first time since 2009 that they had conceded three goals in three consecutive home matches. And White are the current champions of Europe and of League.

White people have a problem, but it is collective in nature. In the defeat against Milan, the focus cannot be on individual numbers, but only on Tchouaméniand yes in team play. In Ancelotti’s team, disorder reigned from the 1st to the 90th minute and the Italian team had carte blanche on the pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid had 10 days to prepare for the match, but this time Ancelotti’s notebook was wrecked. Without ideas, the Italian coach was not right neither in the initial approach nor in the changes. It was absolute chaos.

Ancelotti, affected

There is no doubt that the latest results have placed Carlo Ancelotti in the eye of the storm. The Italian coach has more than demonstrated that he is capable of resolving any type of situation, but this year he is struggling to find the key. Perhaps because he lost one of the most decisive players of recent times: Tony Kroos.

Without the German, Ancelotti cannot find the team’s compass. To the footballer who sets the tempo and commands from possession. Neither Modricneither one nor the other Ceballosneither Tchouaméni, nor Camavingá…No one takes responsibility. Every day that passes makes good old Kroos more valuable.

Against Milan, the transalpine coach made another mistake. Far from changing the dynamic after the break, Valverde’s withdrawal and his team completely dismantled. Paulo Fonseca’s team took the opportunity to find all the spaces in the world and execute the whites, causing a loud whistle at the Bernabéu.

You still have time to change, but you need to do it now. The equipment is not working and the alarms have gone completely off. On Saturday, they play again at the Bernabéu and against a Osasuna which arrives launched.

Defensive ineffectiveness

Real Madrid’s bad moment can be explained by the unreliability of all its lines. The injuries of Courteous And Carvajal They do a lot of damage in a white rearguard that flows everywhere. Lunine And Lucas They do not reach the excellence of the other two and Mendy is very far from being a lock like before. Rudiger And Military They are alone in the face of danger and cannot cover everything.

Up front, Tchouaméni seems doomed for Real Madrid. The Frenchman, who cost more than 100 million, does not seem to have definitively adapted to Real Madrid. The shadow of Casemiro It’s very long and the Frenchman doesn’t impose himself. He was in the photo of Milan’s first two goals and the Bernabéu whistled him loud and clear. Ancelotti replaced him at half-time.

But the defensive problems do not only concern the defenders. The bad pressure exerted by the white team is also largely responsible. It already happened before him Dortmund And Barcaand both ended up vaccinating and piercing the white goal.

Bellingham He runs and presses constantly, but he does it with more heart than head. Modric is not capable of putting in as much effort and Camavinga is not omnipresent. Valverde He seems the only one capable of covering all the mess his team leaves with pressure.

No clarity above

The team is not working on defense, but it is not performing better on offense either. Vinicius He seems to be the only one to rebel, but against Dortmund, he did not have his best evening. He scores again (a panenka from the penalty spot), but he lacks inspiration.

He didn’t have daylight either Kylian Mbappé. His debut at Real Madrid was not easy at all. Against Milan, he made two notable actions, but in both cases, he came up against Maignan by not adjusting his shots too much. He is far from the level that made him one of the best footballers on the planet and he will have to change dynamics to win over Madrid fans.

Much of Real Madrid’s improvement could depend on his recovery. The white team seems stunned, but it is well known that it cannot be considered dead. Of course, there is no margin for error. There are two defeats in the Champions League after four games and on the horizon they appear Liverpool And Atalantaboth at home.
