I honestly can’t wait for Bellingham to play a bit deeper. As incredible as he is at the tip of the diamond, I honestly think it’s a waste. It wastes his ball carrying and powerful dribbling from deep areas. It wastes his technical ability as a passer. It wasted his defensive acumen. Bellingham has always been somewhere between a 6 an 8 and a 10 so playing him at LCM and giving him the freedom to drop in, bomb on, or stay in midfield is the best way to use him. Frightening team but god it’s exciting
This is exactly what pains me when I see everyone on the England discussion saying you HAVE to play Bellingham as the 10 and leave out Foden and Maddison. As good as he's been in the 10, his ability to drive the ball is so much better than anyone else in the England squad, compared to the differences in ability as a 10 between him and the other two I mentioned.
Benzema drifted to the left his whole career. It actually complements the player on the left in context of Madrid. Madrid doesn’t function like most clubs. They play in narrow spaces with more focus on player relationships than strict systems. Unique. Additionally Bellingham and valverde play these roles often already when Carlo changes the diamond.
@@bigpunisher9366 He’s been injured most of the season and yet he still scored a goal for Real Madrid in only 5 appearances. Also he did well for Fenerbache for a time, and scored a goal in only three games for Turkey. Keep in mind he’s still only 18.
Top video James, but one counterpoint I will make is that Mbappe usually gravitates to that left hand side when in build up. It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things as Mbappe and Real Madrid can build up on either side but I don’t think Vini’s impact will hinder, if anything it’ll increase.
exactly vini sometimes struggle when 2-3 opposition players surround him and he finds no one to linkup up with but with mbappe drifting left, bellingham on the same side of midfield and potential signing of davies Real Madrid would be able to unleash vini at his best more often.
Brahim, Rodrygo, Endrick, Guler, Joselu in that order as forwards off the bench. Then in midfield it’s Kroos, Modric, Ceballos off the Bench. In defense Alaba and Nacho off the bench.
ceballos kroos modric gonna leave in max to max 2 years so midfield will be pretty empty with valverde tchouameni bellingham camavinga guler and brahim. forwards will be mbappe vini joselu endrick and rodrygo. rodygo and joselu can come on as supersubs on a 442 and rodrygo can start on a 433. the team can rotate the midfielders against lower teams so it is always good. also endrick and guler need patience. real madrid is team of patience. not everyone walks into the first 11 of a team like real madrid easily. this was the same with vini and rodrygo and will be the same with guler and endrick. fans can be annoyed but this is what real madrid is all about@@benzemaballondor3920
I think it's so crazy how Madrid have ask these players. I've been reading comments of different formations, and they all make sense. It's going to be hard to stop Madrid without injuries, especially in the CL with Carlo. I'm just going to enjoy them on EA FC while i can before I'm permanently scarred. 😅
Endrick is comfortable playing the right hand side as well. I see it more likely that he's rotated with Rodrygo than anybody else. Especially whilst he's still developing physically, Endrick's best role is likely on the right hand side, cutting in on his left peg.
I think with davies coming it its more likely that rodrego is dropped and then valverde starts on the rw but moves to a more midfield role as it shifts to a 4222 shape with davies almost making it a front 3 as he overlaps extremely high with the RB tucking In to make a 3 back so it would look like a 3223 / 3232
i wish james spoke about this more rather than just putting players. having the front 3 of Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo while also have davies push seems very prone to counters. i'd imagine carvajal would have to tuck in and the midfeild has to be good at tempo. Which is something i question bellinghams ability in personally
@@Football_Advanced I don't think so considering how packed footballing calendar is these days and will be even more so with new Champions League format playtime is not gonna be the issue for Rodrygo. Elite clubs nowadays not just need elite players in their starting 11 but also on the bench to compete in all competitions
This is an excellent analysis. And the compliment comes from a Madridista who has been watching the club for half a century. I don't necessarily agree with everything but it is an excellent exploration of options for next year. Thanks for the great content.
The Diamond Formation is definitely the one going forward. I don’t think people watch us enough or they would know that Rodrygo likes to switch to left to often despite him starting of on the right. You can easily see that on his heat map but thats not even the main problem he is to inconsistent to have a starting position on lock. Yes I understand he is not playing in his natural position but he never will at Madrid because of Vini. So many people are making line ups without camavinga or Kroos(if he extends) to accommodate a player that is to inconsistent. The Diamond Formation with Mbappe Vini and Jude behind them is the only way going forward. If their is a manager in world football that can make that formation work its Ancelotti.
They omit kross like nothing the team will be in for rude awakening as we did with busquets. Kross is the calm to the choas of the other players all are superuiorly skilled no doubt but what kross offers will be missed
I dont know if youd want to play a 4 at the back with These incoming players.... what if you have Davies and Carvajal/Valverde as wide midfielders, a Front free of Vinicius and Rodrygo playing as "wide forwards" and with Mbappe ahead of them? Tchouameni and Bellingham could run the engine like Palacios and Xhaka Do at Leverkusen and a proper back three could help them with possible counter threats. If you have so much attacking output, you need some Balance or you might just play like Girona. "If the opponents score 3, we just gotta score 5" is actually a valid way of thinking, but I dont know if that works for everyone.
As a French, I watch Mbappé play every week and to me he has to play on the left side. He has so much more impact on the game in this position than in a central position. He’s not a central striker like Haaland is, he has the abilities to create much more but also to be lethal and so I'm not really sure that Vinicius and Mbappé can play together to their full potential, one is bound to be disadvantaged compared to the other.
There is an interview of Don Carlo where he says he just sets up the defense and trust the quality of the players he has from the middle field up to attack, the front is going to interchange throughout the game, create space, pulling defenders, it will be a nightmare for defences as goals can come from 18 and 15 from outside the box, who will also cover counter attacks, 12,5, 7,9,20, endrick and mbappe can be anywhere around the box and in the box, also the youngsters arda, nico Paz, alvaro will grow around the team securing the next generation.
Let's not forget that Mbappe often played on the right wing for Monaco, and was an absolute beast there. That's another option. He covers all 3 attacking options and that will give them incredible flexibility, as long as he agrees to play where coach tells him, and not insist that he always plays centrally.
Mbappe wasn't playing on the right at Monaco, he was a second striker playing alongside Falcao. He had his worst stats with PSG when he played on the right side cause he's a right footed player, not left footed 🤦
Mbappe wasn't playing on the right side at Monaco he was a second striker playing alongside Falcao. He had his worst stats with PSG when he played on the right side cause he's right footed player, not left footed 🤦
More likely a double pivot of Tchouameni and Valverde as (CM/DM) partnership while Bellingham as CAM central attacking midfieldera behind the front three will give space to Rodrigo and Vini to play more wide while jud eis behind Mbappe, the sacrife will be on Valverde to be more defensive and less runs into the right wing to balance the midfield and allow Bellingham who is more natural advanced midfielder. Real Madrid this season play some games with Vini Joselu Rodrygo Bellingham And Kroos Valverde as pivot this happened during the Tchouameni / Camavinga overlap injury it worked wonders
Endrick won't really be in first team talk untill he's atleast 20 or more and has some european experience. Like Fede, Casemiro and others before, he's probably gonna be on loan for a season or two. Vinicius & Rodyrgo both got chances in the first team by sheer luck of Ronaldo leaving, Bale's injury pileup and his break up with fans and club at later stages of his stay, and Hazard's move to Madrid being.... well a Hazardous descision 😅 It was lack of personals due to which Vini got so many chances initially despite how horrendous his finishing was. Glad to see him now being one of the if not the best winger in the world football at the moment.
i would still go for the diamond with rodrygo starting on the bench and being used as an impact sub other than that vini on the left and a free hand to mbappe bellingham as the am/cf and toni kroos starting purely because of how he opens up the play with his passes
I wonder if Rodrygo will be ok with this, or if Madrid will consider selling him for a very god price, etc.. But thinking solely on the football and disregarding the economic aspects, i agree with you.
What about a 4-2-1-3, double pivot with Camavinga/Tchoameni and Valverde, and Jude remaining higher up. It still kind of resemble their diamond formation, this time they have a striker
I'm actually more interested to see how the 3 Brazilian wonderkids will work together in attack, even if some massive upset happens to Mbappé's deal I won't be too disappointed with Endrick arriving.
Hey nice vid. can you please tell me the name of the video analysis tool you are using in this video… I’m a coach and I’ll like to use it to analyze our games.
As a Madrid fan everytime I make formations in my head to fit all the young guys, there is none some of them will be benched but if the mentality is right and they battle for positions regularly. We will see a team hungry and ready everytime.
This formation is scary .but i think it's important for madrid to rotate the players too..and also we need carvajal replacement...he is great ..but we need new prospect in that...and once again great video.. but rotation is the key...
One thing about Endrick is that he actually plays on the right very often so he could easily be a direct swap for rodrygo who sometimes has very ineffective games as hes not a natural RW
Real Madrid going back to the 4-3-3 formation will always be a welcome treat for me, and I think majority of the fans as well! I mean, look at that midfield, and the front 3 as well... oh my days! I'm a bit biased towards the 433 because it's so fun to play it as well in FIFA lol. I guess Bellingham dropping stats is something what I always expected since this season Madrid lacked firepower so bad, but I'm very much amazed on how talented Bellingham is because right now he is so versatile and can work on many positions in the field.
To all teams out there wanting to win the champions league, (coming from a liverpool fan) may you rest in peace. The real madrid reign is going to take everyone down. A moment of silence for other teams wanting to win a trophy...
Great video, well I think Tchouameni will be playing centre back next season. He gives the team build up advantage given the fact Kroos will play less games. Rudiger and Militao are not good on the ball. We need a good passer for build up purposes. Another twist is that King Carlo is trying to unlock Vini to more of a Ronaldinho and Kaka. I see him playing a number 10/false 9 role for the upcoming season in certain games like he played against City and Bayern. He will do more damage inside. With Modric leaving, Mbappe will play LW or 9 and Rodrigo LW or RW. Belligham will take Kroos's role. Camavinga and Valverde will unlock defensive energy which will free the rest for transition. The bench depth is insane. Carlo will prepare the way for Alonso ball.
I think there wouldn’t be just one start XI you such that talent you have a lot of formations that you can use or experiment. Imagine this team with a brain like Xabi Alonso 🤯🤯🤯
Endrick is also very capable of playing on the right in the Rodrygo role, and may even be more suited to it than Rodrygo as he is left footed. Rodrygo has also historically preferred playing feom the left, and only plays so much on the right to facilitate Vini Jr.
I think real Madrid should go with a 3-2-3-2 formation with touchameni & camavinga at the bottom, jude, Valverde & arda at the center, vini and mbappe at the top , besides signing alphonso if we sign a very able pure defender with good aerial and defensive capablities its very useful, we can replace vini and kylian with endrick and rodrygo if needed , in midfield we can have diaz , nico and ceballos from bench...
Having Tchouameni as a defensive pivot and Bellingham and Valverde in those positions are great. I'm thinking that will be how they play when they want to be more on the defence. When they want more attacking football, they'll put Bellingham as a CAM and Valverde and Camavinga as CM. Camavinga is really agile and is always trying to win the ball back and start a counter attack. He will be at LB or CB depending on injuries
Tchouameni would play cdm before him if anything. To think camavinga might be benched cause of all the talent is crazy. We’re going to be tough to stop
Even if Jude drops from his current position at CAM/Nr10 to inverted LCM/Nr8, he will still pop behind Mbappe due to cutting in. If anything, he’ll have more time carrying the ball and invade defences just like Iniesta used to. And if need, they can always switch to a 4-2-3-1/4-2-1-3 at times with Jude at 10 and Valverde dropping next to Tchouameni/Camavinga. What an option to have!
I prefer rotational triangles!!! From 4-3-3 to 3-2-2-3 start cama as a Lb then in attacking he turn to cm with tchawa while beli and valverde are infront of them
I do think there could be a slight isue with both vibi and mbappe naturally going wide. Both are natural wingers and i dont know if either will sacrafice the want to dribble and take men on. Even at psg mbappe loves to go wide and take players on and he either cuts in or plays acroos and runs inot the box
Madrid will always emphasize the left size. Right side usually is for Carva's crosses. I expect Belligol to be the exact same next season but his assists going up too. Cant wait for fans to join and watch the best team itw
Valverde will take a huge part in that team. We already saw Carvajal being a beast this seoson, and valverde is why is a little bit better. Carvajal taking on the wing, Rodrygo taking deep in the no 8 or 10 role, and valverde covering the back space, OMG that right hand side will be on fire. And dont even mention the left hand side😂
Never watched one of your videos but I was impressed within the first minute. Reminded me of old tifoIRL videos and managing madrid. Stats but also tactics and perfect behind the camera. Continue the great work
the bench will be full of young starts the only thing I can see wrong is the old/experienced players like rudiger courtois Alaba and carvajal but obviously they still have a few years before leaving Madrid so I think they should now see what mbappe Davies and end Rick will add to Madrid I also respect carlo ancceloti cus he is about to be making a masterclass as a manger
I’m a Real Madrid fan and I have to say that, I’m actually worried. The conversation around us is blown wayy out of proportion, and we’ve just seen it again vs Leipzig at home I can see why this is happening maybe- hype, marketing, maybe a lot of English football fans not actually watching La Liga.. We are struggling at the moment, I believe we’ve been outperforming expectations this season so far; - Our defense is in shambles, even without injuries we still needed a LB and a CB, and also RB soon because Carvajal won’t be here forever. - Speaking of, what are we gonna do when Kroos and Modric are gone? All of our structure and playmaking goes through them, quite literally. Without them our midfield is not balanced - And our attack is also concerning, this season we only have Vini Rodrygo and Joselu.. that is not close to enough for the best club in the world. And I’m also scared of Mbappe just as much as I am excited. His shenanigans and politics must be left behind at PSG, I do not want my club to become a slave to this footballer.. Exciting times yes, but I urge people to temper their expectations, because it’s not all glamorous behind the scenes I promise
Honestly as a PSG fan, there's a slight amount of relief to see Mbappe go. World class player to be sure, and we'll miss the goals, but the problems created internally on and off the pitch are just tiresome. You'll get a good first year I think, he'll charm everyone with good communication in spanish and performances on pitch, but I think after that watch out for him wanting to play on the left and not upfront, picking his games and not bothering with defensive tasks... Just remember that Mbappe only does what is best for Mbappe.
@@keutou1 Mbappe is such a player that by taking france through to two final world cups and scoring each season 40+ goals earned that right to choose the postion on the field, in every team sports the coaches bases their game on the ability of their best player. If Psg had created a balanced good team around Mbappe like signing Giround and Grizman instead of Neymar they would have had better chances to win Ucl.
What about a 4-2-3-1. This will allow Rodrigo and Vinicius to carry the ball more which they love to do. This will also allow Bellingham to play a more central attacking role. The 2 cdm/cms? Would allow good squad rotation for the rest of the central midfielders
Maybe Valverde starts RB in place of Carvajal some time in the future and plays up the wing like he can and does and the mid is formed by Bell, Tchou and Cama
missing Arda in my opinion, but let's see how he develops, I would rather put him on the right, bcs there is definitely missing one magic man as it was Luka all these years. Here on paper all athletic guys, but missing one tiny piece. Somehow I think that Rodrygo will be destined to go somewhere else soon, if not this year maybe next one, Endrick as well, playing with his left could be a substitute for him since he's also not typical CF. Anyway if they sell Rodrygo means, they saw limits in him and a good business opportunity :D that happened with Ozil, great player but yep, had limits tbh (a bit slow, focused more on attack etc).
Because of Bellingham being very good as a 10 they might play a 4-3-3 with a double pivot with Valverde and Tchouameni/Camavinga behind Bellingham. Something we saw a few times this season already.
Nobody's making stuff like this, James. With so much content, it can be hard to keep up sometimes but that's a good problem to have I think, means there's a video/podcast/short for every occasion. Something's happening here!
Rodrygo going to the bench. The diamond is made specifically for the freedom and versatility of bellingham. If you play bellingham deeper you lose everything that he provides. It doesn’t matter if mbappe overlaps over to the left as carvajal en valverde are the ones that attack the right when the left side is overloaded. Rodrygo is not untouchable
If this role change for Bellingham I’ll be excited to see if that provides the proof that he and Foden can operate as dual CMs for England 🤩 that’d be a ripple effect for ya
Camavinga plays, Rodrygo isn't optimal on the right, otherwise decent video. Modric is probably leaving this summer, Kroos may too. Think a 4231 or sticking with the 442 makes more sense than a return to the 433
I don't think Carlo will bench Kroos/Camavinga for Rodrygo. I still think he will opt for the diamond with kroos as a LCM, and cama coming off the bench for him or Thcou at CDM
the main problem of Mbappe in PSG is him playing alone striker in upfront....so i dont think Ancelotti will play him on striker at 4-3-3...especially when bellingham is so good on 442 diamond...i feel he will continue this shape with vini mbappe upfront and tchouameni camavinga valverde bellingham midfield
They should play 4-2-3-1. You can't have Bellingham covering for Davies. It would limit his offensive. And Real would concead to many goals in the counter. Bellingham should be in the central-mid. Camavinga is the best option to cover for Davies.
What do you think about a potential 3-3-4 where you have endrick and mbappe on the field at the same time with tchoumeni providing in defense if needed?
I think the most likely scenario is a 442 diamond with Bellingham as a CAM, which appears to be his best position. Probably Vinicius right center forward, as we have seen recently (Rodrygo has been playing on the left) and Mbappe in his natural position, left centerforward. We will have to see if Vinicius adapts. Sorry for Rodrygo, but he's not as consistent as the other three. Playing all four is a defensive nightmare.
I'm surprized you haven't shown another option: 4-4-2 with Vini and Mbappe as strikers and Rodrygo on the bench. This is how you can use Kroos in the middle.
Listening to carlo conferences, i seriously doubt he will use tchouameni instead of camavinga, hes been using thouameni as a center back and camavinga has been in the initial 11 almost all the season
What about Camavinga, Guler, Brahim, Fran Garcia regarding growing playing minutes… And we’re still short of defenders, considering Nacho, Cavajal and Alaba are going to be one year older, Militao can be a bit prone to injury after recovering from torn acl while Rudiger looks the only reliable option all through the season.
Valverde won't make those crazy runs until he assured that Carvajal is back. Don Carlo always sets up that right hand side to be unbeatable with that coordination between Carva and Fede the Falcon. You might see left hand side being under questions if Madrid plays Rudiger on that side and Militao on the right. Real will be very vulnerable to counters in that from that left side.
I think it will be more like 4231 than 433. Bellingham will boss the second line of attack (and help the lack of aerial capability up front), and Valverde and Tchouameni/Camavinga will hold the midfield.
It'll be fascinating how Ancelotti manages to integrate the immense talent of Mbappe, the youngsters (Endrick, Arda Guler, etc.), and Alphonso Davies if they sign him. They could probably still do with some extra defensive depth as well, but we'll see.
and in the end belingham will be cam and valverde and tchuameni both defensive and then i dont know who stops that attack with beloingahm behind mbappe
Honestly, I dont think davies would fit in well. I think vini is best when he can stay wide, maybe a very progressive rightback and the left back stays a bit more back for defensive cover? Build up with a back three?
Asking "will vini get benched?" Has to be a bad joke

Yes I understand he is not playing in his natural position but he never will at Madrid because of Vini. So many people are making line ups without camavinga or Kroos(if he extends) to accommodate a player that is to inconsistent. The Diamond Formation with Mbappe Vini and Jude behind them is the only way going forward. If their is a manager in world football that can make that formation work its Ancelotti.
Exactly! 💯🤝
They omit kross like nothing the team will be in for rude awakening as we did with busquets. Kross is the calm to the choas of the other players all are superuiorly skilled no doubt but what kross offers will be missed
What a great video man!!! New fan here
I dont know if youd want to play a 4 at the back with These incoming players.... what if you have Davies and Carvajal/Valverde as wide midfielders, a Front free of Vinicius and Rodrygo playing as "wide forwards" and with Mbappe ahead of them?
Tchouameni and Bellingham could run the engine like Palacios and Xhaka Do at Leverkusen and a proper back three could help them with possible counter threats. If you have so much attacking output, you need some Balance or you might just play like Girona. "If the opponents score 3, we just gotta score 5" is actually a valid way of thinking, but I dont know if that works for everyone.
As a French, I watch Mbappé play every week and to me he has to play on the left side. He has so much more impact on the game in this position than in a central position. He’s not a central striker like Haaland is, he has the abilities to create much more but also to be lethal and so I'm not really sure that Vinicius and Mbappé can play together to their full potential, one is bound to be disadvantaged compared to the other.
benzema drifted to the left all the time. I think vini and mbappe will interchange positions often as vini as proven he can play as a striker too.
Endrick is also coming, so we'll have a proven striker.
There is an interview of Don Carlo where he says he just sets up the defense and trust the quality of the players he has from the middle field up to attack, the front is going to interchange throughout the game, create space, pulling defenders, it will be a nightmare for defences as goals can come from 18 and 15 from outside the box, who will also cover counter attacks, 12,5, 7,9,20, endrick and mbappe can be anywhere around the box and in the box, also the youngsters arda, nico Paz, alvaro will grow around the team securing the next generation.
Let's not forget that Mbappe often played on the right wing for Monaco, and was an absolute beast there. That's another option. He covers all 3 attacking options and that will give them incredible flexibility, as long as he agrees to play where coach tells him, and not insist that he always plays centrally.
Mbappe wasn't playing on the right at Monaco, he was a second striker playing alongside Falcao. He had his worst stats with PSG when he played on the right side cause he's a right footed player, not left footed 🤦

Kroos is the most important Madrid player.
Great analysis Jim
More likely a double pivot of Tchouameni and Valverde as (CM/DM) partnership while Bellingham as CAM central attacking midfieldera behind the front three will give space to Rodrigo and Vini to play more wide while jud eis behind Mbappe, the sacrife will be on Valverde to be more defensive and less runs into the right wing to balance the midfield and allow Bellingham who is more natural advanced midfielder. Real Madrid this season play some games with Vini Joselu Rodrygo
Bellingham
And Kroos Valverde as pivot this happened during the Tchouameni / Camavinga overlap injury it worked wonders
Endrick won't really be in first team talk untill he's atleast 20 or more and has some european experience. Like Fede, Casemiro and others before, he's probably gonna be on loan for a season or two. Vinicius & Rodyrgo both got chances in the first team by sheer luck of Ronaldo leaving, Bale's injury pileup and his break up with fans and club at later stages of his stay, and Hazard's move to Madrid being.... well a Hazardous descision 😅
It was lack of personals due to which Vini got so many chances initially despite how horrendous his finishing was. Glad to see him now being one of the if not the best winger in the world football at the moment.
i would still go for the diamond with rodrygo starting on the bench and being used as an impact sub other than that vini on the left and a free hand to mbappe bellingham as the am/cf and toni kroos starting purely because of how he opens up the play with his passes
I wonder if Rodrygo will be ok with this, or if Madrid will consider selling him for a very god price, etc..
But thinking solely on the football and disregarding the economic aspects, i agree with you.
Most reasonable formation for Real next season should be a 4222 with Kroos starting, unfortunately Rodrygo is most likely the one to get benched
Vini Jr gols against Valencia were completely out of his profile
What about a 4-2-1-3, double pivot with Camavinga/Tchoameni and Valverde, and Jude remaining higher up. It still kind of resemble their diamond formation, this time they have a striker
I like this option too
I'm actually more interested to see how the 3 Brazilian wonderkids will work together in attack, even if some massive upset happens to Mbappé's deal I won't be too disappointed with Endrick arriving.
Hey nice vid. can you please tell me the name of the video analysis tool you are using in this video… I’m a coach and I’ll like to use it to analyze our games.
Great work dude !
He can just slot into their current diamond form !!
And bench Rodrygo? Although I love him, off the bench he will be unstoppable
@@Adturbo8unot necessarily they can play 3-4-3
As a Madrid fan everytime I make formations in my head to fit all the young guys, there is none some of them will be benched but if the mentality is right and they battle for positions regularly. We will see a team hungry and ready everytime.
This formation is scary .but i think it's important for madrid to rotate the players too..and also we need carvajal replacement...he is great ..but we need new prospect in that...and once again great video.. but rotation is the key...
One thing about Endrick is that he actually plays on the right very often so he could easily be a direct swap for rodrygo who sometimes has very ineffective games as hes not a natural RW
Real Madrid going back to the 4-3-3 formation will always be a welcome treat for me, and I think majority of the fans as well! I mean, look at that midfield, and the front 3 as well... oh my days! I'm a bit biased towards the 433 because it's so fun to play it as well in FIFA lol. I guess Bellingham dropping stats is something what I always expected since this season Madrid lacked firepower so bad, but I'm very much amazed on how talented Bellingham is because right now he is so versatile and can work on many positions in the field.
To all teams out there wanting to win the champions league, (coming from a liverpool fan) may you rest in peace. The real madrid reign is going to take everyone down. A moment of silence for other teams wanting to win a trophy...
Great video, well I think Tchouameni will be playing centre back next season. He gives the team build up advantage given the fact Kroos will play less games. Rudiger and Militao are not good on the ball. We need a good passer for build up purposes. Another twist is that King Carlo is trying to unlock Vini to more of a Ronaldinho and Kaka. I see him playing a number 10/false 9 role for the upcoming season in certain games like he played against City and Bayern. He will do more damage inside. With Modric leaving, Mbappe will play LW or 9 and Rodrigo LW or RW. Belligham will take Kroos's role. Camavinga and Valverde will unlock defensive energy which will free the rest for transition. The bench depth is insane. Carlo will prepare the way for Alonso ball.
I think there wouldn’t be just one start XI you such that talent you have a lot of formations that you can use or experiment. Imagine this team with a brain like Xabi Alonso 🤯🤯🤯
As a Real Madrid fan, I’m fucking excited for the future of the club. This is insane. I think people don’t realize enough all the potential we have
Endrick is also very capable of playing on the right in the Rodrygo role, and may even be more suited to it than Rodrygo as he is left footed. Rodrygo has also historically preferred playing feom the left, and only plays so much on the right to facilitate Vini Jr.
I think real Madrid should go with a 3-2-3-2 formation with touchameni & camavinga at the bottom, jude, Valverde & arda at the center, vini and mbappe at the top , besides signing alphonso if we sign a very able pure defender with good aerial and defensive capablities its very useful, we can replace vini and kylian with endrick and rodrygo if needed , in midfield we can have diaz , nico and ceballos from bench...
Having Tchouameni as a defensive pivot and Bellingham and Valverde in those positions are great.
I'm thinking that will be how they play when they want to be more on the defence.
When they want more attacking football, they'll put Bellingham as a CAM and Valverde and Camavinga as CM.
Camavinga is really agile and is always trying to win the ball back and start a counter attack. He will be at LB or CB depending on injuries
Tchouameni would play cdm before him if anything. To think camavinga might be benched cause of all the talent is crazy. We’re going to be tough to stop
@@jadenr7543 Tchouameni has played CB recently. So Camavinga as defensive pivot at CDM works
Even if Jude drops from his current position at CAM/Nr10 to inverted LCM/Nr8, he will still pop behind Mbappe due to cutting in. If anything, he’ll have more time carrying the ball and invade defences just like Iniesta used to. And if need, they can always switch to a 4-2-3-1/4-2-1-3 at times with Jude at 10 and Valverde dropping next to Tchouameni/Camavinga. What an option to have!
I prefer rotational triangles!!! From 4-3-3 to 3-2-2-3 start cama as a Lb then in attacking he turn to cm with tchawa while beli and valverde are infront of them
What’s the website called for the formation thing? And great video btw❤
I do think there could be a slight isue with both vibi and mbappe naturally going wide. Both are natural wingers and i dont know if either will sacrafice the want to dribble and take men on. Even at psg mbappe loves to go wide and take players on and he either cuts in or plays acroos and runs inot the box
Best video on the internet ❤
Madrid will always emphasize the left size. Right side usually is for Carva's crosses. I expect Belligol to be the exact same next season but his assists going up too. Cant wait for fans to join and watch the best team itw
what program is he using to like analyze , where hes placing all the arrows and lines
Valverde will take a huge part in that team. We already saw Carvajal being a beast this seoson, and valverde is why is a little bit better. Carvajal taking on the wing, Rodrygo taking deep in the no 8 or 10 role, and valverde covering the back space, OMG that right hand side will be on fire. And dont even mention the left hand side😂
I think that the midfield would be Bellingham top triangle has a OMF then Cavaminga CMF and Tchouameni DMF in the hold...
Never watched one of your videos but I was impressed within the first minute. Reminded me of old tifoIRL videos and managing madrid. Stats but also tactics and perfect behind the camera. Continue the great work
the bench will be full of young starts the only thing I can see wrong is the old/experienced players like rudiger courtois Alaba and carvajal but obviously they still have a few years before leaving Madrid so I think they should now see what mbappe Davies and end Rick will add to Madrid I also respect carlo ancceloti cus he is about to be making a masterclass as a manger
I’m a Real Madrid fan and I have to say that, I’m actually worried. The conversation around us is blown wayy out of proportion, and we’ve just seen it again vs Leipzig at home
I can see why this is happening maybe- hype, marketing, maybe a lot of English football fans not actually watching La Liga..
We are struggling at the moment, I believe we’ve been outperforming expectations this season so far;
- Our defense is in shambles, even without injuries we still needed a LB and a CB, and also RB soon because Carvajal won’t be here forever.
- Speaking of, what are we gonna do when Kroos and Modric are gone? All of our structure and playmaking goes through them, quite literally. Without them our midfield is not balanced
- And our attack is also concerning, this season we only have Vini Rodrygo and Joselu.. that is not close to enough for the best club in the world.
And I’m also scared of Mbappe just as much as I am excited.
His shenanigans and politics must be left behind at PSG, I do not want my club to become a slave to this footballer..
Exciting times yes, but I urge people to temper their expectations, because it’s not all glamorous behind the scenes I promise
Honestly as a PSG fan, there's a slight amount of relief to see Mbappe go. World class player to be sure, and we'll miss the goals, but the problems created internally on and off the pitch are just tiresome. You'll get a good first year I think, he'll charm everyone with good communication in spanish and performances on pitch, but I think after that watch out for him wanting to play on the left and not upfront, picking his games and not bothering with defensive tasks... Just remember that Mbappe only does what is best for Mbappe.
most Negative Real Madrid fan. -ve
@@keutou1 Mbappe is such a player that by taking france through to two final world cups and scoring each season 40+ goals earned that right to choose the postion on the field, in every team sports the coaches bases their game on the ability of their best player. If Psg had created a balanced good team around Mbappe like signing Giround and Grizman instead of Neymar they would have had better chances to win
Ucl.
You guys are still on the idea that Mbappé is an ego-maniac. Yes, he had an ego, but so does CR7 and no extremely major issues came out.
Yes he will improve your team, but by how much is what’s being slightly exaggerated by the media.
What about a 4-2-3-1. This will allow Rodrigo and Vinicius to carry the ball more which they love to do. This will also allow Bellingham to play a more central attacking role. The 2 cdm/cms? Would allow good squad rotation for the rest of the central midfielders
It could work, but where would Valverde play?
right cdm or right mid
what't the name of the tool you're using on screen for tactics and formations?
Maybe Valverde starts RB in place of Carvajal some time in the future and plays up the wing like he can and does and the mid is formed by Bell, Tchou and Cama
missing Arda in my opinion, but let's see how he develops, I would rather put him on the right, bcs there is definitely missing one magic man as it was Luka all these years. Here on paper all athletic guys, but missing one tiny piece. Somehow I think that Rodrygo will be destined to go somewhere else soon, if not this year maybe next one, Endrick as well, playing with his left could be a substitute for him since he's also not typical CF. Anyway if they sell Rodrygo means, they saw limits in him and a good business opportunity :D that happened with Ozil, great player but yep, had limits tbh (a bit slow, focused more on attack etc).
Because of Bellingham being very good as a 10 they might play a 4-3-3 with a double pivot with Valverde and Tchouameni/Camavinga behind Bellingham. Something we saw a few times this season already.
Nobody's making stuff like this, James. With so much content, it can be hard to keep up sometimes but that's a good problem to have I think, means there's a video/podcast/short for every occasion. Something's happening here!
Rodrygo going to the bench. The diamond is made specifically for the freedom and versatility of bellingham. If you play bellingham deeper you lose everything that he provides. It doesn’t matter if mbappe overlaps over to the left as carvajal en valverde are the ones that attack the right when the left side is overloaded. Rodrygo is not untouchable
If this role change for Bellingham I’ll be excited to see if that provides the proof that he and Foden can operate as dual CMs for England 🤩 that’d be a ripple effect for ya
I’m guessing we’ll be playing in the future
1xGK,1xCB,5xCM,4xATT
GK-Thibou Cortunis
LB-Camavinga
CB-Militao
CB-Tchouameni
RB-Valverde
CM-Bellingham
CM-Guller
LW-Rodrygo
ST-Mbappe
ST-Endrick
RW- Vini
Camavinga plays, Rodrygo isn't optimal on the right, otherwise decent video. Modric is probably leaving this summer, Kroos may too. Think a 4231 or sticking with the 442 makes more sense than a return to the 433
Is there a player to replace Kroos? I would say Joao Neves and you? Who takes Real for after Kroos? Or do they take Arnold as CC?
I think
Courtios taa Davies Rudiger miliato bellingham valverde choumeni rodrygo vini jr mbappe
Bench endrick cmamvinga carjavla lunin mendy Alaba nacho Fernandez
I don't think Carlo will bench Kroos/Camavinga for Rodrygo. I still think he will opt for the diamond with kroos as a LCM, and cama coming off the bench for him or Thcou at CDM
I think it will continue as 4 4 2 diamond rodrygo will be first of the bench in attack..
3-4-3 is the answer er need to keep the diamond, and in the defensive phase Camavinga and Valverde will cover the right and the left
Vini jr being benched shouldnt even be considered.
the main problem of Mbappe in PSG is him playing alone striker in upfront....so i dont think Ancelotti will play him on striker at 4-3-3...especially when bellingham is so good on 442 diamond...i feel he will continue this shape with vini mbappe upfront and tchouameni camavinga valverde bellingham midfield
They should play 4-2-3-1.
You can't have Bellingham covering for Davies. It would limit his offensive. And Real would concead to many goals in the counter.
Bellingham should be in the central-mid.
Camavinga is the best option to cover for Davies.
What do you think about a potential 3-3-4 where you have endrick and mbappe on the field at the same time with tchoumeni providing in defense if needed?
A functional back three of Militao at RB/inverted RB, Rudiger, and Alaba, while Davies goes forwards is a scary prospect in Europe for years
Valverde will be so important to support attack and deffence with an overlapping rb
I think the most likely scenario is a 442 diamond with Bellingham as a CAM, which appears to be his best position. Probably Vinicius right center forward, as we have seen recently (Rodrygo has been playing on the left) and Mbappe in his natural position, left centerforward. We will have to see if Vinicius adapts. Sorry for Rodrygo, but he's not as consistent as the other three. Playing all four is a defensive nightmare.
I'm surprized you haven't shown another option: 4-4-2 with Vini and Mbappe as strikers and Rodrygo on the bench. This is how you can use Kroos in the middle.
Listening to carlo conferences, i seriously doubt he will use tchouameni instead of camavinga, hes been using thouameni as a center back and camavinga has been in the initial 11 almost all the season
What about Camavinga, Guler, Brahim, Fran Garcia regarding growing playing minutes… And we’re still short of defenders, considering Nacho, Cavajal and Alaba are going to be one year older, Militao can be a bit prone to injury after recovering from torn acl while Rudiger looks the only reliable option all through the season.
Valverde won't make those crazy runs until he assured that Carvajal is back. Don Carlo always sets up that right hand side to be unbeatable with that coordination between Carva and Fede the Falcon. You might see left hand side being under questions if Madrid plays Rudiger on that side and Militao on the right. Real will be very vulnerable to counters in that from that left side.
I think it will be more like 4231 than 433. Bellingham will boss the second line of attack (and help the lack of aerial capability up front), and Valverde and Tchouameni/Camavinga will hold the midfield.
I prefer Cama at left back. I feel instead of splashing money on Davies, we should go for a right back taking place of the aging Carvajal and Lucas.
What App he used for making this tactical analysis anyone could tell me please?
Arda Guler is a real jewel who would be proper organiser for all forwarders.
What app is this, you are using?
which softwere do you use??
It'll be fascinating how Ancelotti manages to integrate the immense talent of Mbappe, the youngsters (Endrick, Arda Guler, etc.), and Alphonso Davies if they sign him. They could probably still do with some extra defensive depth as well, but we'll see.
é isso mesmo família, ele falou do nosso menino Endrick
and in the end belingham will be cam and valverde and tchuameni both defensive and then i dont know who stops that attack with beloingahm behind mbappe
Im wondering who will be the passing metronome when kroos and modric arent on pitch in that lineup 7:39
Honestly, I dont think davies would fit in well. I think vini is best when he can stay wide, maybe a very progressive rightback and the left back stays a bit more back for defensive cover? Build up with a back three?
benching Vini is criminal. He's been top 5 worlwide for 3 years
Need to sign a rb and cb
What is the app your using in 2:40
Hello James, great video. One little mistake: Latasa plays for Getafe, not Granada.
