This should be the end of Real Madrid’s league title defence this season, with four consecutive clean sheets in their last four consecutive games but conceding a crucial four, and against Betis, Real Madrid have kept four consecutive home clean sheets without a win. The general trend has passed, Real Madrid’s current squad is insufficient, mainly manifested in physical fitness and the schedule is too intensive, resulting in Real Madrid’s lack of attack in this game, and there is not much support in the midfield, simply summarize this game.
The first thing to mention is Rodrigue and Asensio, who are too homogeneous in their playing style
。 Due to the intensive schedule of the game, Zidane did not arrange Vinicius to start, but let Rodrigue play, now Rodrigue and Asensio take the ball and always think that the ball in the most reasonable way should not be, football requires a little risk-taking, half of the ball as long as a confrontation can not get the ball is also a problem, lost ball is basically physically crushed.
Secondly, without Real Madrid in K8, midfield scheduling is really not good.
K8 is still unable to play due to physical discomfort, only the Magic Flute and Casemiro ceremonial midfield has few in terms of full field scheduling, and none of the three Real Madrid can function properly without one. The attacking organization of the Magic Flute, the all-field dispatch of Kroos and the interception of Casemiro are the key to ensuring Real Madrid’s victory. From these three consecutive league games, it can be seen that especially in the extremely short of personnel, the ceremonial midfield is really the key to Real Madrid’s fate.
Third, Marcelo’s form has declined significantly.
In Mendy’s absence, it would be preferable to play Nacho on the left wing rather than Marcelo. The reason why Zidane did not arrange Marcelo to start is that his fitness has not reached the conditions to play the whole game, and secondly, Marcelo himself is weak in attack and defense, and the offensive aspect is really not the same as his peak. Like the magic flute, Messi is getting older and more demon, but Marcelo’s stoppage, pass, cross, and speed have not been played in this game.
Fourth, Isco really doesn’t fit Real Madrid’s current squad system.
Isco’s technical characteristic is that he can control the ball, but he is too sticky and the ball at his feet can no longer create decent offensive opportunities, but waste the running of the frontcourt personnel. This game did not see the role he should play, should not pass, and there is no speed, only cross, no wonder Real Madrid rushed to appear, it makes sense.
Fifth, Benzema was invisible in the second half.
As the biggest weapon of Real Madrid’s attack, Benzema failed to stand up to help the team in this game, which cannot be blamed on him, after all, Real Madrid’s offensive problems have always been Real Madrid’s weakness. In the first half of this game, Benzema’s role in the opponent’s penalty area could still be seen, but in the second half, Benzema’s role was not reflected, and he was drowned in many Betis players many times.
Sixth, Eden Hazard’s comeback created many opportunities but not an advantage.
From the limited time of 15 minutes, Eden Hazard’s few possessions of the ball made people feel dazzled and created chances, but they still lacked in grasping. Next up against his old club Chelsea, hopefully give the fans a chance to prove themselves.
To sum up, the Real Madrid league is at its end, although it is no longer realistic to hope that Atletico Madrid and Barca will drop the chain again. There are still Champions League games to play, and I hope to fight for a title back, which is also a successful end to the season. In the face of a serious shortage of personnel this season, Zidane can bring Real Madrid like this, even if they are empty-handed, the fans will be very relieved and there will be no dissatisfaction.
