@CarlosRojas-hr6ms if he'd gone to City or Liverpool instead of PSG, imagine the damn player he'd be. With his talent + discipline and hard work, he'd trully be gunning for the Messi CR7 role
In his defense, and I'm not joking either, Carlo *LITERALLY* told Kylian *NOT* to track back. Yes, you read that correctly. Why? Who the f*ck know my nigga🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. I respect the Don, but he's systems can be strange, at times.
They have prioritised midfield, just the wrong players. Valverde, Tchouameni and Kroos was a good midfield, now that Kroos is gone Bellingham has dropped into the midfield we're witnessing the problems unfold. Instead of Bellingham a Wirtz type player should have been brought in.
I don't think it's same story, if RM have new player like TAA and Davies next season, it will add options to attack. Kroos's replacement may be what peoples think are most needed, but if RM don't find one there are still many options to attack from other positions and players, such as the fullback area.
While a lot of channels are chasing the bullshit drama of Vinicius the Ballon d'or, you release this amazing analysis of the structural issues and poor decision making that has weakened Real Madrid. Congrats man!
Toni Kroos leaving Real felt like when Xavi left Barca, the whole rhythm of the team have been changed, very hard for the coach to first acknowledge how much importance they had on the game and then act on it. I think it will take Real at least till January to settle on something.
Look, I'm not saying that Brest will beat Real. What I'm saying is that if it does happen, the nationwide leader in vegetable distribution in France will gladly offer the Madristas the vegetables to throw at the players
Brest have really surprised me, some great results from a club I'm used to seeing mid-table in Ligue Un. Obviously Real will be favourites but stranger things have happened.
Arda Guler is such a sad story and matches like that Clasico are just proof that Madrid clearly bought the kid to spite Barca. How is he not getting any minutes and how did he not play ahead of Brahim Diaz who had been out injured? I feel sorry for him that Barca tried to sign him because had they not Madrid would probably have not bothered signing him either and he'd be killing it somewhere forcing legit comparisons with Yamal.
@SantiagoGarza-bg9wp yeah but what I mean is that he's good enough to start for PSG, both Milan teams, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Arsenal. I feel like Madrid are mismanaging him like they did Odegaard.
He would be a starter in every team including Madrid but not for Carlo and that s the problem because let's be honest he is by far the most technical midfielder we have and easily the most talented player so the problem ain't him it's the manager
as great as madrid is its not the best club to go to as a young player even bale complained that he was the better freekick taker in training but all where given to ronaldo ,its better to go to a team that bcomes number 2 or 3 in the league than go for trophies you win on the bench
Reminds me of the original Galacticos in early 2000s. At that time, Real Madrid had the likes of Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Ronaldo Nazario, but they had a lot of issues that led to the sudden downfall between 2004-2006, most notably the huge lack of balance.
@@OnIyASpoonfull Shame that it happened during the club's centenary year. Perez at that time wanted the club to win the Treble, but in La Liga, they lost to Valencia. They also had the infamous shock loss over Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish Cup Final. Of course, the 2003/04 season was even more tragic, as they somehow bottled up the Treble chance in just only 3 months (lost to Real Zaragoza in the Spanish Cup Final, lost to Monaco by away goals in the Champions League QF, and only finished 4th on the table with just 7 points behind La Liga winners Valencia after being 1st at the end of February).
As a Bayern fan, one thing I think is an interesting little tidbit- when Carlo Ancelotti was at Bayern, one of the criticisms he received and one of the reasons he (allegedly) was let go was that his training sessions were too casual and relaxed. Bayern was coming off Pep Guardiola for 3 seasons. Several players like Robben and Ribery allegedly complained training was too easy, and they complained of things like Ancelotti stopping training or disappearing for cigarette breaks. Just interesting to me, wouldn’t be the first time an Ancelotti team has had poor training habits.
Ancelotti doesn’t design the training lol, Real Madrid training session is managed and planned by pintus and players are actually have complaints that the training is too hard and leaving them too tired for the matchsb, Personally tho its just a collective bad run of form once mbappe adapts with vini and Rodrigo this team will also get going.
Ancelotti is so funny, the last time Barcelona beat them 4-0, Real Madrid was leading with 6-8 points, Barcelona was a struggling side and Xavi had just taken over. This time, Barcelona is top of the league, doing well in the UCL and they just beat Bayern. Ancelotti had not faced a team that could run the entire 90 minutes without taking a breath. Barcelona was all over them and they punched them when it mattered most. Barcelona scored 2 goals came in 2 minutes, Lewandowski missed 2 sitters in 2 minutes , Lamine yamal killed their dream of any comeback and Raphina just made them look stupid at the back. This Barcelona side are title contenders for every available trophy. What is even scary is Frenkie is not fully fit, Olmo is also not fit, Christensen and Araujo are still injured and they are using academy graduates. Imagine if they all come back from injury and the players who are coming back from injury become fully fit. Scary, Scary Scary😅
Ancelloti just got beaten by a better coach in his own home with a bunch of kids and he knows it He and courtois said the same thing when they lost vs Barca in the pre season game that madrid will easily beat Barcelona in la liga just like they did a few years ago but now they just found out that Hansi Flick aint Xavi Its just a matter of time before madrid will sack him
@@tayyab1614 do you think Mbaby has the ability to learn from his 8 offsides? Real Madjunk looks like PSG right now😆 Nobody that return from injury will improve them very much. Raphinha will eat Carvajal alive, Rodrygo will find himself with no chances versus Barcelona's defense. I can't wait for their next match. 7-0 this time? It's gonna be hilarious
@@bouzoukiman5000 what I hate about Gaycelona fans who always underestimate their opponents and think they have won everything from just one match. It's okay to be proud when your club can lift the UCL trophy, but it was almost a decade ago and now you can only hallucinate too wildly.
The reason Militao was caught upfield was tactical as it was a response from Ancelotti to not allow Olmo space to create. Problem is that’s exactly what Flick wanted and it’s why when people say Ancelotti relies on individual talent to win they’re not wrong. If Madrid played in the EPL they would be fighting for top 4. Without sound tactics a well organized and innovative manager (who also has money and talent and get a home and away fixture) would expose Carlo.
Ya'll modern day football fans have got so used to the strict, almost authoritarian archetype of a manager in the mold of a Pep or Klopp, to the extent that you look down upon on the classic type of a coach which Ancellotti is. This man has won far too much to warrant this much disrespect. Your favorite coaches have been whooped by Ancellotti teams, more than Ancellotti has lost. He adapts to what he has, not coming in with a set of beliefs he wants everyone to conform to. Its a different process but it has brought results. Put some respect on it. If Fergie could make it in PL, Ancellotti would, in fact, did ya'll forget about Ancellotti's Chelsea? Madrid is a team still recovering from losing the greatest passer of the ball since Xavi. It was never going to be a quick fix.
@ you’re misunderstanding my point. Ancelotti is a great manager and one that’s actually good for Real Madrid and their fluid desire in attack but we can see clearly that if he comes up against a good manager with the same budget he’s not dominating them over and over. Real play City and it’s not one sided, Real play Chelsea and it’s not one sided, Real play Liverpool and it’s not one sided, Real play Barca and it’s not one sided, Real play Atleti and it’s not one sided but you put him up against teams in league or Europe without quality and Madrid are undefeated. That’s why I said if he was in the premier league it wouldn’t be automatic top 2 like he’s done in Spain going back and forth with Barca and Atleti as many English clubs have money, talent and can outwork them especially in the mbappe era where neither he or Vini care to press or track back an entire 90’
It’s clear that the team overall had to adapt with the loss of Kroos and also the injuries this season. I think for the midfield they lack a controller too much box to box players. And for defense they def need a right back to cover for Dani.
Real Madrid problem this season is first in the midfield. Not the defence. Defence is secondary. Kroos retiring is the biggest problem that Madrid will be facing now. Few reasons there. There is no one to properly drop between the centre backs and distribute the ball safely. You can see this seasons how much Militao (who really is not a good passer) is passing more, and Rudiger is trying to hit on the left wing with long balls. Kroos missing took safety from Madrid when Madrid had possession and overall safety and calmness in midfield. Let's make an argument here to discuss it further. Tchuameni is a defensive midfielder, and he isn't a good playmaker. Valverde and Camavinga are literal engines that can run so much. Great on the ball, and can do a lot. Still, they are not as safe as Kroos. Modrić is more progressive and attacking minded player, who can do that job, but he is old. Bellingham, as Madrid fan, wants to see him playing more as attacking midfielder than a deep lying playmaker. Arda Guler, even if he is a young and amazing player, Ancelottin does not play many young players. Which is bad for Madrid. So we can conclude that Kroos leaving is the worst thing that could happen to Madrid. Next is the attack. The attacking trio wants to play on the left. Mbappe, Vini, and Rodrygo are left wingers primarily. And we could see this season how much they overload on the left. Which is disgusting to watch. Not to mention how much shooting quality dropped. You could see this season how much they shot literally directly in the keeper or around him. No corners or risk-taking shoots. Defence is and was a problem for years. But due to the Kroos impact, the work rate of the midfielders, it wasn't that much shown. Now we can see how shit it is. Alaba injury is unfortunate. Militao literally can be the best and the worst at the same time. Mendy sometimes looks like he is fantasising about, spaces out and fucks up. Also, not that great in the attack. Lord Vasquez can have amazing games and have amazing impacts. And then like he flips and fucks up everything. And he is primarily right midfielder not a right back. Which means only one true right back. Fran Garcia, unfortunately, same as Arda Guler, don't have enough minutes. Carvajal unfortunately took the biggest hit with injury, and Madrid lost good presence in defence, attack, and leadership. Rudiger is probably safest person in defence... even tho he is crazy. Madrid have unbalanced team. Mbappe arriving brought unbalanced in the attack. Kroos leaving brought unbalance in the midfield and defence. What Madrid should have done was buying Haaland and Gvardiol, good left back that is progressive in the attack, something similar to Marcelo or Roberto Carlos (yes, standards are high) and young backup for Carvajal. With that fix, midfield would be safer, Mbappe wouldn't be the one in the attack, but a viking who isn't running on the wing every few minutes... Can Madrid do better now? Probably. But there needs to be sacrifices. 4-4-2 with diamond in the midfield would be great. Valverde on the right back, and Tchuameni, Camavinga, Guler, Bellingham in the midfield. With Vini and Mbappe/Endrick in the attack. Maybe 4-3-3, but again, Guler is in the right wing. Center Endrick or Mbappe wini on the left. However you look, Valverde needs to drop to the right back, unfortunately, and Guler is the one balancing the team. Ancelotti will probably never do that and give Guler and Endrick a proper chance to show what they can do.
A team cannot simply buy who they want, even Madrid. Why would any player like Haaland and guardiol want to leave City, the most consistent team in the world for like 7 seasons. You buy players who want to leave.
@frankkkbard0n315 If you read it with a bit more concentration, you will see I wrote "should have done," which is past tense. Basic point I was trying to make that Madrid as much as they had good transfer markets bringing in players. They also missed the world class players that would bring to the team more. Perez obsession with Mbappe hurt Madrid this year, and probably in the coming seasons, if they do not bring more defensive options of the level they can do. If I was the one playing in any of the football manager sites, first move will be definitely selling Mbappe, trying to find midfielder in style of Kroos whom you can pass the ball and be safe, and have amazing passing abilities. Bring in players Like Gvardiol because player is versatile in 3 positions and proper striker like Haaland. There is need for another center back because Madrid could proabb pull from the academy. Next would probably be selling Mendy in favour of more attacking minded left wing back and proper successor to Cravjal. And with that, Madrid would be fixed when you think about postion coverage, bench and tactics. There is too much players doing same thing.
The issue is that this Madrid squad has no depth. Don't get me wrong. They have a better starting 11 than City does, but what about the bench. No one. They should've gotten more youth prospects to replace key areas like defense instead of throwing all the bank at Mbappe. Now they'll have to suffer with the consequences
On defense yes, they need reinforcements. Didn’t really replace Nacho and Kroos. Don’t know why Mbappe is the issue. He will end up figuring it out. They got depth on the attack and somewhat in mid.
Not really, they also need a proper midfield after Toni Kroos' retirement. This is really an important problems. Also, Luka Modric doesn't have enough power anymore due to his age.
@@ezraezra2928 Midfield will always have a void but it is not as big as of one in the defence. We have depth in the midfield but the defence is on the ropes.
Real Madrid needs to addresses their defensive issues seriously. PSG couldn’t win the UCL with MNM because of their defensive problems. Real Madrid don’t realize that even if Vini, mbappe, rodyrigo and Bellingham score 1 goal each they are gonna still lose because opposition will score 5 goals
Madrid losing la liga is nothing wierd. The last time Real Madrid won two leagues in a row was 2006-2007, and after that, it was in the 80s (they won 5 in a row). They are a team that play long term as they play each game: Just putting enough effort to not concede to save energy and playing 15 minutes at the end for real to score (or to comeback). Is the same each season, they will just put effort the second half, they may win the UCL even if they had a bad season. That's why they will never win a Treble.
Well, Real Madrid's 2006-07 season wasn't really good. They only won because Barcelona and Sevilla had an inconsistent form in the second half. Also, their manager Fabio Capello was sacked after the win.
It's not about targeting cheap players only. It's about buying right players for the club, for the right price at the right time. Unlike PL clubs, RM doesnt have the luxury of paying 2x of what the player is worth just to outbid someone. Laliga only has broadcasting revenue and no revenue depending on where the team finished in the table or if they win the title. Compare that to what PL teams makes even if they are 10th in the table. It's a night and day difference. That's why when ManU hijacked Leny Yoro deal by offering him way more money in wages and way more in transfer offer, they backed out of it.
I'm sorry but probably either no one is accepting it or no one wants to see it, but, Mpabbe is another issue aswell. I am not saying he is not good, he is, of course he is, but he ruined the system a little bit because I watched Real Madrid matches and I always saw Mbappe and Vini at the left and no one at the middle. Basically they bought a new TV while they already have a perfectly working one.
That's just them having a taste of their own medicine. Wanting to sign a so-called galacticos in every season despite barely having the money to do so, they signed mbappe as his contract is expiring so he can sign him for "cheap", despite already having a player that plays in the left
@@renaultmeganesuperleggera Exactly and its soooooo unnecessary to do aswell, they already had probably the best offensive players in the world before Mbappe, but getting Mbappe just because you can, that was not smart. It will ruin Mbappe and Real in the long run
The mistake to the second goal. When vini was standing mere feet away from the ball but chose not to track back was so awful. And this guy, just days prior, told he'd do 10x. If this is his 10x, idk what his 1x is
Nacho leaving was supposed to happen the season before the last one but he hesitated and decided to stay one more season, but it was well known in the club that he was leaving when his contract ended as agreed with the club
Great analysis and totally agree with everything you said. The defence is the first stage to solve madrid’s many problems. Also the midfield is somewhat lacking and Madrid haven’t really replaced Kroos with anybody and not to mention the lackluster attack, where everybody seems to be trying something of their own and not as a team… Hopefully Madrid can resolve these issues and show again, why they are kings of europe. Hala Madrid!!
arda guler's choice was wrong. If he had gone to Barcelona or some other team, he could have done better things and played more. if you bought him you have to let him play. he is a good player but he sits idle and do nothing lol
-Lost Kroos -Since Carvajal’s injury there has been no proper leader for the team -Lucas Vazquez is not a RB -No proper CB back-up was signed to replace Nacho -Rudiger/Militao never worked -Mendy drop in form -Injuries -Change in tactics and formation to accommodate Mbappe
Barcelona offense is much more creative than Real Madrid. It wasn't just defense problems. RM relies on personal talents to score without any creativity. RM needs to play Arda Guler and Modric together to add creativity. At the moment RM is playing Vini and Mbappe. These are fast runners but they can't pass defenses so far.
Ancelotti went from getting the most out of his players to not being able to get them playing as a team. It feels like there is friction with the new players wanting to stand out and the players that were there wanting to show they are still stars. I think Ancelotti is what they needed last season but now they need a coach with a clear vision and strong tactics
@@agdala1591 i will say this IS something a good coach should be able to at least work around. the issue is tactical. he has too many redundant pieces, but no real strategy to make them work regardless.
Idk why they didn't go for Calafiori in the summer. Listen, even if Alaba comes back, he's not gonna play like he did in 21/22. Nacho is finally getting the recognition he always deserved. He was crucial last season, and the season before that and the season before that. They need to sign Trent and a very good centreback. Bastoni or Schlotterbeck would be perfect
he is such a madrid boy, always like to underestimate barca, I remember when barca destroyed vallodalid 7-0 he didn’t even mention it on its barcelona video dropped on the same day.
Thank you for sharing the video that addresses the challenges Real Madrid is facing this season. It’s clear that we started the season taking some significant risks by not reinforcing the squad with a reliable defender. Last season, we managed to survive despite missing three key players for most of the year. This season, with the demanding schedule of nearly 70 matches ahead, I feel it’s quite risky to enter without a solid alternative in the center-back position. I have my doubts about whether we will make any additions during the winter transfer window, but I believe we should consider giving Valverde an opportunity at right-back. While it may seem unconventional, I think he could surprise us much like Camavinga did last seasons at left-back. Additionally, I believe it might be beneficial for Carlo to explore a 3-4-3 formation, allowing Jude more freedom to showcase his freedom and creativity. If I could dream up some transfers, I would love to see us bring in players like Bastoni from Inter, perhaps on any terms necessary, Freibourg from Bayer Leverkusen along with a free transfer for Davies and. Of course, while we may not find a direct replacement for Toni, it’s crucial that we make some adjustments in formations, coaching strategies, tactics, and personnel to adapt to the season's demands.
bellingham at the right is downright weird to me. ancelotti has been playing valverde there for the exact reason of covering the rb area and bellingham at the left to provide more offense yet suddenly, RANDOMLY FOR WHATEVER REASON, ancelotti switched them both around, both play horribly, and ancelotti says "i like their new position" smh
Short answer: -low chemistry between the players don’t make good performance -defence is in a crisis with (again) no chemistry -mbappe normally plays left wing but he is playing as striker
This is so unbalance squad. Lack organisation in defence. Mendy is defensive fullback. So they attack through Carvajal and now he is gone. Alaba & Curtoise also injured. Militao & rudiger look lost i dont know why. No midfield maestro who control the tempo. Cama, Fede & Jude look very similar. Tchoumeni is anchor man not really up to standard as world class DM. The attack is weird as hell. No natural striker. Vini, Rodrygo & mbappe all are naturally is right wing forward. Last year only Vini get the license to perform less defensive duty. Now they have two walkers (Vini & Mbappe). So there is no effective high press. The defense is totally in chaos from the front.
I think the problem is that my club has neglected the defense for years. It’s never been a high investment area for Perez. We’ve just been getting by the years defensively, but on certain notable nights, our defense gets cut through.
They're missing a number 9 like Benzema. Joselu also did well. It IS early but it doesn't look good for them against great teams. A few more injuries and things get really bad. Barca would whip them 10/10 matches right now with children fresh out of La Masia🤷♂️
My club needs Two top level defender next journey transfer. Militao is shit after injury and we don't have a proper RWB like Carvajal. Papa parez needs to spend some money now. And in attack we need tall and good shooting skill striker because RM is all about good striker with proper front 3 attack. Last session Joselu done the same thing late goals, late heading goals.
One of the things i hate is how ancelotti restricted fede movement like now fede is nearly always in the centre of the midfield doesn't go up as mcuh as he was before and same thing for Billingham killed their offensive charm
same issue as the Brazilian NT, big names and individual performance but they don't mesh. Especially the midfield just doesn't ever seem to have any ideas when it matters or when they're stuck.
Real needs a press-resistant controller and any sort of actually competent pressing structure. For a much of last year they’ve looked rather porous in defense - I remember watching the RB Leipzig game (6 March 2024) and thinking “HOW HAS OPENDA NOT SCORED?” Barcelona were better for much of some of the Classico’s even when they lost, and Dortmund was better for the first half in the final. This has become far too common, and let’s be real - Real has NEVER been a defensive shutout team. The biggest issue Barcelona showed is how bad their press is - it was SO easy for us to play through the middle - see Casadó’s assist for the first goal, Saturday.
I personally love when people start doubting Madrid like this isn't the same shit we've been seeing for the last decade at least. start slow and finish strong the key thing that people forget is that during all those losses Madrid was short/missing key players never the full strength team. so celebrate for beating a team with an easy hole and just wait for the second half of the season.
But nah comparing last season to now, we are not in a very good spot. For example the league last season we never really dropped a lot of points and it was still close to the 2nd Classico before we pulled away. We also never suffered big losses and looked lost in performances
Defense was already a little bit shaky last season but they were always able to overcome it because of the heavy workhorse nature of their midfield combined with Kroos' creativity within the final third. All they needed was one chance and they could cause some real damage. To an extent, this is still true, but the players capable of making that happen are either worse (And also not getting played, like Guler), or just too old to be starting (Modric). Bellingham, Tchouameni and Valverde is a very physicality-based midfield with very little in the way of creativity, essentially all the creativity is left off to the attackers which makes isolating easier. You shut out Vinicius and if Modric isn't playing, Madrid essentially have to resort to flinging random balls forward hoping someone will pick them up and score.
I was having high hopes for them to sign ANYONE for the backline, but obviously that didn't happen. Now with Carva gone it has all gone south as expected.
Ancelotti has no spine to tell through the press that the team needs to cash in on defense, can't rely on Vazquez as he makes the whole team struggle even more.
Crisis today, champions tomorrow. Ive lived long enough to see and know Madrid has unbelievable champion’s mentality. They’ll iron out the kinks somehow in the 2nd half of the season.
@Casian291 Hope this news helps. ``As much gave rise to a recent call-up to first-team training at Valdebebas``. ``And, if the latest word stemming from the media this week is anything to go by, then Fortea, evidently, has already done enough to prove his talents to Real’s coaching team``. As per a report from Marca: `` ‘The decision is now firm: Fortea will not return to the U19 team and will become a first-team player' ``. ``Though the youngster’s senior bow is not considered as imminent, Fortea could be afforded minutes off the bench when Lucas Vázquez requires a rest over the weeks ahead``. Conor Laird - GSFN
Its Mbappes First Season, so many differences in how he should play and apply himself, lets give him time! As for Carlo there work to be done to restore the confidence in the fans!!
The Clasico wasnt a 0-4 loss playing wise. But Barcelona pit away their chances. To say Barcelona could score 6 goals is true, but so could Madrid. With more luck
There are many problems in Madrid, Kroos retirement and lack of structure in the midfield, mediocore defense, but imo the main problem still lies in the Attack. Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo are all left wingers, Madrid basically has no strikers at all and the solution is not forcing players to play out of position and expecting them to play at their highest level. Neither of the 3 can play as a striker, they actually all never did anywhere else before. I actually feel for Mbappe, he gets put in a really bad situation here, being asked to play a position he never really played before just to be bombarded with criticism. I actually think Vini is the better option at the 9 of those 2, but the ultimate and only a solution is to get a striker, teach either Mbappe or Vini to play on the other wing and bench rodrygo.
the loss of nacho isn’t being talked about enough. our die hard players that were playing for the badge aren’t there anymore. we have strong players but our structure kroos, nacho, even joselu.. is gone
this really reminds me of the time when the Bigoton asked Flo for defenders and Flo ended up bringing Beckham, things didn't go well, the bigoton was sacked and the galacticos managed to win just a couple of titles,
Defense has been lazy all season long so far and Mbappe not ever making plays for the team but only runs for his own goal. 4-0 at at home to Barca will devastate the team mentality. It might haunt them throughout the season.

Perez at that time wanted the club to win the Treble, but in La Liga, they lost to Valencia.
They also had the infamous shock loss over Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish Cup Final.
Of course, the 2003/04 season was even more tragic, as they somehow bottled up the Treble chance in just only 3 months (lost to Real Zaragoza in the Spanish Cup Final, lost to Monaco by away goals in the Champions League QF, and only finished 4th on the table with just 7 points behind La Liga winners Valencia after being 1st at the end of February).
As a Bayern fan, one thing I think is an interesting little tidbit- when Carlo Ancelotti was at Bayern, one of the criticisms he received and one of the reasons he (allegedly) was let go was that his training sessions were too casual and relaxed. Bayern was coming off Pep Guardiola for 3 seasons. Several players like Robben and Ribery allegedly complained training was too easy, and they complained of things like Ancelotti stopping training or disappearing for cigarette breaks. Just interesting to me, wouldn’t be the first time an Ancelotti team has had poor training habits.
Ancelotti doesn’t design the training lol, Real Madrid training session is managed and planned by pintus and players are actually have complaints that the training is too hard and leaving them too tired for the matchsb,
Personally tho its just a collective bad run of form once mbappe adapts with vini and Rodrigo this team will also get going.
Ancelotti is so funny, the last time Barcelona beat them 4-0, Real Madrid was leading with 6-8 points, Barcelona was a struggling side and Xavi had just taken over. This time, Barcelona is top of the league, doing well in the UCL and they just beat Bayern. Ancelotti had not faced a team that could run the entire 90 minutes without taking a breath. Barcelona was all over them and they punched them when it mattered most. Barcelona scored 2 goals came in 2 minutes, Lewandowski missed 2 sitters in 2 minutes , Lamine yamal killed their dream of any comeback and Raphina just made them look stupid at the back. This Barcelona side are title contenders for every available trophy. What is even scary is Frenkie is not fully fit, Olmo is also not fit, Christensen and Araujo are still injured and they are using academy graduates. Imagine if they all come back from injury and the players who are coming back from injury become fully fit. Scary, Scary Scary😅
Ancelloti just got beaten by a better coach in his own home with a bunch of kids and he knows it
He and courtois said the same thing when they lost vs Barca in the pre season game that madrid will easily beat Barcelona in la liga just like they did a few years ago but now they just found out that Hansi Flick aint Xavi
Its just a matter of time before madrid will sack him

@@bouzoukiman5000 what I hate about Gaycelona fans who always underestimate their opponents and think they have won everything from just one match. It's okay to be proud when your club can lift the UCL trophy, but it was almost a decade ago and now you can only hallucinate too wildly.
The reason Militao was caught upfield was tactical as it was a response from Ancelotti to not allow Olmo space to create. Problem is that’s exactly what Flick wanted and it’s why when people say Ancelotti relies on individual talent to win they’re not wrong.
If Madrid played in the EPL they would be fighting for top 4. Without sound tactics a well organized and innovative manager (who also has money and talent and get a home and away fixture) would expose Carlo.
Your obsession with pl is meaningless here
Ya'll modern day football fans have got so used to the strict, almost authoritarian archetype of a manager in the mold of a Pep or Klopp, to the extent that you look down upon on the classic type of a coach which Ancellotti is. This man has won far too much to warrant this much disrespect. Your favorite coaches have been whooped by Ancellotti teams, more than Ancellotti has lost. He adapts to what he has, not coming in with a set of beliefs he wants everyone to conform to. Its a different process but it has brought results. Put some respect on it. If Fergie could make it in PL, Ancellotti would, in fact, did ya'll forget about Ancellotti's Chelsea? Madrid is a team still recovering from losing the greatest passer of the ball since Xavi. It was never going to be a quick fix.
@ you’re misunderstanding my point. Ancelotti is a great manager and one that’s actually good for Real Madrid and their fluid desire in attack but we can see clearly that if he comes up against a good manager with the same budget he’s not dominating them over and over. Real play City and it’s not one sided, Real play Chelsea and it’s not one sided, Real play Liverpool and it’s not one sided, Real play Barca and it’s not one sided, Real play Atleti and it’s not one sided but you put him up against teams in league or Europe without quality and Madrid are undefeated. That’s why I said if he was in the premier league it wouldn’t be automatic top 2 like he’s done in Spain going back and forth with Barca and Atleti as many English clubs have money, talent and can outwork them especially in the mbappe era where neither he or Vini care to press or track back an entire 90’
@@barstar888if mbappe score in first half those 2 or 3 goals or if Vini Jude score im second half those talks would be nowhere
@@naomidiamond1999 buuuhhhht they didn't
It’s clear that the team overall had to adapt with the loss of Kroos and also the injuries this season. I think for the midfield they lack a controller too much box to box players. And for defense they def need a right back to cover for Dani.
Real Madrid problem this season is first in the midfield. Not the defence. Defence is secondary.
Kroos retiring is the biggest problem that Madrid will be facing now. Few reasons there. There is no one to properly drop between the centre backs and distribute the ball safely. You can see this seasons how much Militao (who really is not a good passer) is passing more, and Rudiger is trying to hit on the left wing with long balls. Kroos missing took safety from Madrid when Madrid had possession and overall safety and calmness in midfield.
Let's make an argument here to discuss it further. Tchuameni is a defensive midfielder, and he isn't a good playmaker.
Valverde and Camavinga are literal engines that can run so much. Great on the ball, and can do a lot. Still, they are not as safe as Kroos.
Modrić is more progressive and attacking minded player, who can do that job, but he is old.
Bellingham, as Madrid fan, wants to see him playing more as attacking midfielder than a deep lying playmaker.
Arda Guler, even if he is a young and amazing player, Ancelottin does not play many young players. Which is bad for Madrid.
So we can conclude that Kroos leaving is the worst thing that could happen to Madrid.
Next is the attack. The attacking trio wants to play on the left. Mbappe, Vini, and Rodrygo are left wingers primarily. And we could see this season how much they overload on the left. Which is disgusting to watch. Not to mention how much shooting quality dropped. You could see this season how much they shot literally directly in the keeper or around him. No corners or risk-taking shoots.
Defence is and was a problem for years. But due to the Kroos impact, the work rate of the midfielders, it wasn't that much shown. Now we can see how shit it is.
Alaba injury is unfortunate.
Militao literally can be the best and the worst at the same time.
Mendy sometimes looks like he is fantasising about, spaces out and fucks up. Also, not that great in the attack.
Lord Vasquez can have amazing games and have amazing impacts. And then like he flips and fucks up everything. And he is primarily right midfielder not a right back. Which means only one true right back.
Fran Garcia, unfortunately, same as Arda Guler, don't have enough minutes.
Carvajal unfortunately took the biggest hit with injury, and Madrid lost good presence in defence, attack, and leadership.
Rudiger is probably safest person in defence... even tho he is crazy.
Madrid have unbalanced team. Mbappe arriving brought unbalanced in the attack. Kroos leaving brought unbalance in the midfield and defence.
What Madrid should have done was buying Haaland and Gvardiol, good left back that is progressive in the attack, something similar to Marcelo or Roberto Carlos (yes, standards are high) and young backup for Carvajal.
With that fix, midfield would be safer, Mbappe wouldn't be the one in the attack, but a viking who isn't running on the wing every few minutes...
Can Madrid do better now? Probably. But there needs to be sacrifices. 4-4-2 with diamond in the midfield would be great. Valverde on the right back, and Tchuameni, Camavinga, Guler, Bellingham in the midfield. With Vini and Mbappe/Endrick in the attack.
Maybe 4-3-3, but again, Guler is in the right wing. Center Endrick or Mbappe wini on the left.
However you look, Valverde needs to drop to the right back, unfortunately, and Guler is the one balancing the team. Ancelotti will probably never do that and give Guler and Endrick a proper chance to show what they can do.

Legendary comment ❤
A team cannot simply buy who they want, even Madrid. Why would any player like Haaland and guardiol want to leave City, the most consistent team in the world for like 7 seasons. You buy players who want to leave.
@frankkkbard0n315 exactly lol. OP trying to play career on FC25
@frankkkbard0n315 If you read it with a bit more concentration, you will see I wrote "should have done," which is past tense. Basic point I was trying to make that Madrid as much as they had good transfer markets bringing in players. They also missed the world class players that would bring to the team more.
Perez obsession with Mbappe hurt Madrid this year, and probably in the coming seasons, if they do not bring more defensive options of the level they can do.
If I was the one playing in any of the football manager sites, first move will be definitely selling Mbappe, trying to find midfielder in style of Kroos whom you can pass the ball and be safe, and have amazing passing abilities. Bring in players Like Gvardiol because player is versatile in 3 positions and proper striker like Haaland. There is need for another center back because Madrid could proabb pull from the academy.
Next would probably be selling Mendy in favour of more attacking minded left wing back and proper successor to Cravjal. And with that, Madrid would be fixed when you think about postion coverage, bench and tactics. There is too much players doing same thing.
They had the best left winger in the world, lost the best CDM in the world, so naturally, they signed the other best left winger in the world 😂

My brother you are the best footy youtuber in the world and no award can say otherwise love you bro ❤
Thanks for the upload RabonaTV.
The issue is that this Madrid squad has no depth. Don't get me wrong. They have a better starting 11 than City does, but what about the bench. No one.
They should've gotten more youth prospects to replace key areas like defense instead of throwing all the bank at Mbappe. Now they'll have to suffer with the consequences
So it's true, it's Galacticos 2.0!
A very laid back approach since hazard that I don't think will change.
Very unbalanced team all the subs are forwards. No defensive depth
@@animamaster better starting 11 except for Mendy. Man is he sub-par
On defense yes, they need reinforcements. Didn’t really replace Nacho and Kroos. Don’t know why Mbappe is the issue. He will end up figuring it out. They got depth on the attack and somewhat in mid.
FINALLY, SOMEONE NOTICED IT. Madridistas have been wanting CBs since 2021 (since Ramos and Varane left)
Not really, they also need a proper midfield after Toni Kroos' retirement. This is really an important problems. Also, Luka Modric doesn't have enough power anymore due to his age.

Real Madrid needs to addresses their defensive issues seriously. PSG couldn’t win the UCL with MNM because of their defensive problems. Real Madrid don’t realize that even if Vini, mbappe, rodyrigo and Bellingham score 1 goal each they are gonna still lose because opposition will score 5 goals
Madrid losing la liga is nothing wierd. The last time Real Madrid won two leagues in a row was 2006-2007, and after that, it was in the 80s (they won 5 in a row). They are a team that play long term as they play each game: Just putting enough effort to not concede to save energy and playing 15 minutes at the end for real to score (or to comeback). Is the same each season, they will just put effort the second half, they may win the UCL even if they had a bad season. That's why they will never win a Treble.
It’s much more than losing La Liga tbh. Madrid is getting outplayed in every game this season
Well, Real Madrid's 2006-07 season wasn't really good. They only won because Barcelona and Sevilla had an inconsistent form in the second half. Also, their manager Fabio Capello was sacked after the win.

Real Madrid still on the cheap targeting free players only
Imagine if Davies or Trent wasn't expiring, they wouldn't target them
It's not about targeting cheap players only. It's about buying right players for the club, for the right price at the right time. Unlike PL clubs, RM doesnt have the luxury of paying 2x of what the player is worth just to outbid someone. Laliga only has broadcasting revenue and no revenue depending on where the team finished in the table or if they win the title. Compare that to what PL teams makes even if they are 10th in the table. It's a night and day difference. That's why when ManU hijacked Leny Yoro deal by offering him way more money in wages and way more in transfer offer, they backed out of it.
We can't compete with premier league clubs especially Man City. That era of madrid breaking record transfers is over.
@@str7413 that's not true lol, the policy has just changed.
I'm sorry but probably either no one is accepting it or no one wants to see it, but, Mpabbe is another issue aswell. I am not saying he is not good, he is, of course he is, but he ruined the system a little bit because I watched Real Madrid matches and I always saw Mbappe and Vini at the left and no one at the middle. Basically they bought a new TV while they already have a perfectly working one.
That's just them having a taste of their own medicine. Wanting to sign a so-called galacticos in every season despite barely having the money to do so, they signed mbappe as his contract is expiring so he can sign him for "cheap", despite already having a player that plays in the left
@@renaultmeganesuperleggeraPerez is so clueless I wish he left this turtle in PSG
@@renaultmeganesuperleggera Exactly and its soooooo unnecessary to do aswell, they already had probably the best offensive players in the world before Mbappe, but getting Mbappe just because you can, that was not smart. It will ruin Mbappe and Real in the long run
he is so selfish as well. He shoots when a teammate is open. He brought the spirit of PSG along
Bellingham would've been in the middle but he is being pulled in the defence beacuse we don't have anyone good there and are playing finished vasquez
You are so good at analyzing football. Simply the best
The mistake to the second goal. When vini was standing mere feet away from the ball but chose not to track back was so awful. And this guy, just days prior, told he'd do 10x. If this is his 10x, idk what his 1x is
Whos here after Milan destroyed Madrid at the Bernabeu?

Nacho leaving was supposed to happen the season before the last one but he hesitated and decided to stay one more season, but it was well known in the club that he was leaving when his contract ended as agreed with the club
You lost Kroos and bought mbappe is what happened
Perez greedy masterclass
Brilliant analysis man. Goated as always 💯
Great analysis and totally agree with everything you said. The defence is the first stage to solve madrid’s many problems. Also the midfield is somewhat lacking and Madrid haven’t really replaced Kroos with anybody and not to mention the lackluster attack, where everybody seems to be trying something of their own and not as a team… Hopefully Madrid can resolve these issues and show again, why they are kings of europe. Hala Madrid!!
arda guler's choice was wrong. If he had gone to Barcelona or some other team, he could have done better things and played more. if you bought him you have to let him play. he is a good player but he sits idle and do nothing lol
The heat map where most of mbappe touches are at the center circle is funny
-Lost Kroos
-Since Carvajal’s injury there has been no proper leader for the team
-Lucas Vazquez is not a RB
-No proper CB back-up was signed to replace Nacho
-Rudiger/Militao never worked
-Mendy drop in form
-Injuries
-Change in tactics and formation to accommodate Mbappe
Barcelona offense is much more creative than Real Madrid. It wasn't just defense problems. RM relies on personal talents to score without any creativity. RM needs to play Arda Guler and Modric together to add creativity. At the moment RM is playing Vini and Mbappe. These are fast runners but they can't pass defenses so far.
8:55-9:00 was diabolical and you know it... and we love it!
Spot on, on Nacho
Ancelotti went from getting the most out of his players to not being able to get them playing as a team. It feels like there is friction with the new players wanting to stand out and the players that were there wanting to show they are still stars.

Idk why they didn't go for Calafiori in the summer. Listen, even if Alaba comes back, he's not gonna play like he did in 21/22.
Nacho is finally getting the recognition he always deserved. He was crucial last season, and the season before that and the season before that.
They need to sign Trent and a very good centreback. Bastoni or Schlotterbeck would be perfect

This season has been hard to watch, but I will always be there to support my club. HALA MADRID!
Thank you for sharing the video that addresses the challenges Real Madrid is facing this season. It’s clear that we started the season taking some significant risks by not reinforcing the squad with a reliable defender. Last season, we managed to survive despite missing three key players for most of the year.
This season, with the demanding schedule of nearly 70 matches ahead, I feel it’s quite risky to enter without a solid alternative in the center-back position. I have my doubts about whether we will make any additions during the winter transfer window, but I believe we should consider giving Valverde an opportunity at right-back. While it may seem unconventional, I think he could surprise us much like Camavinga did last seasons at left-back.
Additionally, I believe it might be beneficial for Carlo to explore a 3-4-3 formation, allowing Jude more freedom to showcase his freedom and creativity. If I could dream up some transfers, I would love to see us bring in players like Bastoni from Inter, perhaps on any terms necessary, Freibourg from Bayer Leverkusen along with a free transfer for Davies and.
Of course, while we may not find a direct replacement for Toni, it’s crucial that we make some adjustments in formations, coaching strategies, tactics, and personnel to adapt to the season's demands.
Changing the system to fit Mbappe has backfired spectacularly.
bellingham at the right is downright weird to me. ancelotti has been playing valverde there for the exact reason of covering the rb area and bellingham at the left to provide more offense yet suddenly, RANDOMLY FOR WHATEVER REASON, ancelotti switched them both around, both play horribly, and ancelotti says "i like their new position" smh
Short answer:
-low chemistry between the players don’t make good performance
-defence is in a crisis with (again) no chemistry
-mbappe normally plays left wing but he is playing as striker
This is so unbalance squad. Lack organisation in defence. Mendy is defensive fullback. So they attack through Carvajal and now he is gone. Alaba & Curtoise also injured. Militao & rudiger look lost i dont know why.
No midfield maestro who control the tempo. Cama, Fede & Jude look very similar. Tchoumeni is anchor man not really up to standard as world class DM.
The attack is weird as hell. No natural striker. Vini, Rodrygo & mbappe all are naturally is right wing forward.
Last year only Vini get the license to perform less defensive duty. Now they have two walkers (Vini & Mbappe). So there is no effective high press.
The defense is totally in chaos from the front.
Mbappe and vini dont play well together just admit it.
I think the problem is that my club has neglected the defense for years.
It’s never been a high investment area for Perez. We’ve just been getting by the years defensively, but on certain notable nights, our defense gets cut through.
They're missing a number 9 like Benzema. Joselu also did well. It IS early but it doesn't look good for them against great teams. A few more injuries and things get really bad. Barca would whip them 10/10 matches right now with children fresh out of La Masia🤷♂️

6:34 nice 😂😂😂
Not getting Yoro this summer hurt Real.
Also the decrease in fitness training is probably due to the injury crisis. With so little depth they cant afford to lose anyone.
Nacho leaving as well Kroos leaving were highly underrated
Real needs a press-resistant controller and any sort of actually competent pressing structure. For a much of last year they’ve looked rather porous in defense - I remember watching the RB Leipzig game (6 March 2024) and thinking “HOW HAS OPENDA NOT SCORED?”
Barcelona were better for much of some of the Classico’s even when they lost, and Dortmund was better for the first half in the final. This has become far too common, and let’s be real - Real has NEVER been a defensive shutout team. The biggest issue Barcelona showed is how bad their press is - it was SO easy for us to play through the middle - see Casadó’s assist for the first goal, Saturday.
Who here after Milan
When carvajal, alaba and courtois return backline problem will resolve.
They call you genius when youre at the top, but once you trip a little bit, they begin calling you shit.
I love football but the fact that it’s possible clubs can bet on their own loss is something we all need to consider a big problem!
Depth is a problem for real madrid and injuries
This is a perfect analysis of the problem. Hala Madrid
Lewandovski´s misses were giving me the creeps, I thought he was giving Madrid the chance to pull a Dortmund again.
Exactly bro. I love you ❤️ channel
I personally love when people start doubting Madrid like this isn't the same shit we've been seeing for the last decade at least. start slow and finish strong the key thing that people forget is that during all those losses Madrid was short/missing key players never the full strength team. so celebrate for beating a team with an easy hole and just wait for the second half of the season.
But nah comparing last season to now, we are not in a very good spot. For example the league last season we never really dropped a lot of points and it was still close to the 2nd Classico before we pulled away. We also never suffered big losses and looked lost in performances
Angelotti is like a black hole in the galakticos... He destroys the youngsters like Arda and Endrick. Sack him. Now!
Defense was already a little bit shaky last season but they were always able to overcome it because of the heavy workhorse nature of their midfield combined with Kroos' creativity within the final third. All they needed was one chance and they could cause some real damage. To an extent, this is still true, but the players capable of making that happen are either worse (And also not getting played, like Guler), or just too old to be starting (Modric). Bellingham, Tchouameni and Valverde is a very physicality-based midfield with very little in the way of creativity, essentially all the creativity is left off to the attackers which makes isolating easier. You shut out Vinicius and if Modric isn't playing, Madrid essentially have to resort to flinging random balls forward hoping someone will pick them up and score.
I definitely expected Guler to get starter minutes, considering how his Euros went.
I was having high hopes for them to sign ANYONE for the backline, but obviously that didn't happen. Now with Carva gone it has all gone south as expected.
Ancelotti has no spine to tell through the press that the team needs to cash in on defense, can't rely on Vazquez as he makes the whole team struggle even more.
Crisis today, champions tomorrow. Ive lived long enough to see and know Madrid has unbelievable champion’s mentality. They’ll iron out the kinks somehow in the 2nd half of the season.
Lol I'm a Barca fan but damn Adrian, leave Real Madrids defense alone 😂😂
Nah, as a Madridista, I say, let him speak.

`` ‘The decision is now firm: Fortea will not return to the U19 team and will become a first-team player' ``.

I couldn't watch the whole video, i died after watching Giroud and Mbappe having a moment.
Without kroos and modric , they lack control.
Mbappe is not a striker. You need a striker that holds up play and links up play.
The Clasico wasnt a 0-4 loss playing wise. But Barcelona pit away their chances. To say Barcelona could score 6 goals is true, but so could Madrid. With more luck
There are many problems in Madrid, Kroos retirement and lack of structure in the midfield, mediocore defense, but imo the main problem still lies in the Attack. Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo are all left wingers, Madrid basically has no strikers at all and the solution is not forcing players to play out of position and expecting them to play at their highest level. Neither of the 3 can play as a striker, they actually all never did anywhere else before. I actually feel for Mbappe, he gets put in a really bad situation here, being asked to play a position he never really played before just to be bombarded with criticism. I actually think Vini is the better option at the 9 of those 2, but the ultimate and only a solution is to get a striker, teach either Mbappe or Vini to play on the other wing and bench rodrygo.
Imagine struggling with occasional "Penalty a favor del real madrid" facility
No Kross replacement and Mbappe disrupting their attacking structure

this really reminds me of the time when the Bigoton asked Flo for defenders and Flo ended up bringing Beckham, things didn't go well, the bigoton was sacked and the galacticos managed to win just a couple of titles,
Defense has been lazy all season long so far and Mbappe not ever making plays for the team but only runs for his own goal. 4-0 at at home to Barca will devastate the team mentality. It might haunt them throughout the season.
