jude's not a ghost, people just created perfect image of him due to previous season. He's doing more defensively hence lack of goals; he's doing alot + he has to go on free spaces because mbappe isnt doing what hes supposed to do so bellingham basically does more than he needs to. Problem is with the team as a whole. There's no chemistry whatsoever. Mbappe is clearly lacking confidence therefore he's scared of attempting anything
Plus ancelotii isn't doing his job either. He keeps playing mbappe even though he's not in form. Theres young blood in the team i.e. Endrick who could actually make some impact, for sure there is less pressure on him as everyone is focused on mbappe. Real Madrid seems to be trying to play with no general idea how to create a chance to score a goal and are waiting for some magic from individuals, and usually magic came from Kroos but he's long gone so they need to find new solution.
and u made a great point by pointing out that we have massive names in midfield but none of them is 'calm' one, they are great in their roles, but none of em can be like Kroos. I fully agree with that.
they should of gone for Viktor Gyokeres instead. he is a true center striker. therefore Vinicius can shine on the left while having a beast in the middle
I think if Kroos had stayed we would have seen a different version of Mbappe where he would be more effective in matches. With Kroos’s vision, passing, and tempo control, Mbappe’s runs would actually go somewhere and he’d be scoring loads of goals. But as is generally the case, the goalscoarers would get all the praise from fans and media. I think that would have fed Mbappe’s ego and we would have seen the cocky and control hungry player we knew from his time at psg. I think Kroos leaving when he did was meant to be as he left at his peak like Zidane did, but also it allows us to judge Mbappe for his own contributions, in game IQ, and technical ability without being fed by a goated midfielder.
Ballon D'or don't deserve Toni Kroos. He is above that useless award. 1x World Cup winner 6x Champions League winner 6x FIFA Club World Cup winner 3x German Champion 4x Spanish champion 5x Uefa Supercup winner 3x German cup winner 1x Spanish cup winner 4x Spanish Super Cup winner 1x German Super Cup winner 1x Torneio Internacional Algarve U17
had the handball been given to germany in their match against spain and they managed to go through and win the euros he would have definetely been at least top 3 in the ballon d'or rankings
@@argy7526 dont think that any other team was on the level of spain and germany. feels like 2008-2012 again, lets hope that germany can get at least one title in the next 4 years tho^^
like even as bayern fan, my most painful regret is selling kroos. i saw the potential in him a bit, but our club really sold the deal. and we couldn't had the ultimate duo of Prime muller and Prime Kroos and Xabi alonso. we really paid gotze so much but not a talent which had so much potential to be best. fair play to kroos, gotta ask for the bag for ur contribution, and if doesn't work out, u should probably go to other team which values you more.
@@chicagomademe4928 Gotze had potential thats evident but he had health issues that the bayern doctors didnt find until it was too late for him to reach his potential
Imagine this: Germany had Kimmich AND Kross at the same time. Unfortunately, it was a short term dream. Kroos is real legend in this game. He is WC-Winner and won the UCL 5 times. But still is underrated. Insane.
bellingham didn't dissapear he just cnanot play the way he used to last season because there is no longer 2 wingers as a striker duo in a 442 (= a lot of space to play with up front) but rather 3 left winger in a 433 forcing him to play more defensively
Totally get what you’re saying! It’s wild how the formation shift changes everything. Bellingham just needs to adapt and show us his skills in this new setup!
@@FutbolHistoria88 yeah i think he is adapting well even though it's not being really visible we also have to remember that adding to the fact that kroos is not here anymore, modric is becoming old, real lose a lot of ball in attacking phase (offside, regular ball loss,...) and the defense is weakened the priority is not to be the goal scorer he was last season but rather fill in the gap in the team with cama (injured now but you get it) because of how well rounded they are
He can't play no 8 maybe 10 or 7 but not 8 Valverde and Camavinga are better by a landslide I'd even rather have Tchouameni and Ceballos at no 8 not Guler
Thought we cleared up Jude was one of the only things we had going this season. Everyone is caught up about it but thats funny considering it isn't even true. In my opinion, Camavinga in the last two league games has filled that hole and would keep doing it if he wasn't injured, but Jude did a semblance of the role at Dortmund and personally I think he would excel if he was put into it, he became 100 million in the first place for dominating midfields and just added that attacking facet to his game.
Totally get what you’re saying! Camavinga's been a beast lately, and Jude definitely has skills. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out once everyone’s back in action!
Jude has never dominated any midfield. He was box to box at Dortmund not a deep lying ochestrator like kroos. Bellingham is not there yet when it comes to dictating the game's tempo.
mbappe has no off ball presence, hes not creating for others, and until then we wont see this team flourish the way we want to. Its just a test of time.
This video is a perfect reason of why they need Trent Alexander-Arnold. Trent has immaculate talent when passing, good defending, good reading of the game and pretty versatile because he can play as a CAM, CM, CDM and as a fullback.
Kimmy is the only logical solution. German players are thought to do it all and keep pushing, except Ozil. Kimmy has the tools and mind for the game. Plus, Kroos is always a text away for Kimmy. Kimmy’s contract is up this summer.
@@kugel96I had the same thought, he’s still playing a bit more advanced but I’m pretty sure Kroos did as well at the start. There’s many similarities, and the passing technique and range have incredible similarities. Bischof is just a rather naive player right now, though, but of course since he’s young. He and Wanner are the two best playmaking options from Germany’s 2005 class.
To say Jude is part of the problem is crazy…he’s literally one of the hardest workers on the team. This just tells me you look at stats more than the game itself, his main attribute is not scoring goals
I've said this since the mallorca game, we have a midfield problem and I was so upset we let nico paz leave. Yes he is young but the potential was there, he look like a faster version of kroos.
Toni Kroos and Luka Modric don't get the same oohs and ahhs because of their style but I think it's clear how important they were to Real Madrid's continued success.
If you’re going to make a video Ike this, then be honest. Bellingham has been an important player despite his recent goal contributions. He’s all over the pitch being absolutely essential to play in both offense and defense.
Great video. Here is a name, it may shock you as he’s already in Spain. Currently, out of favor with his new manager and has a deal expiring in ‘26 and could be bought in the summer on discount. Frenkie De Jong. He’s been so disrespected at Barca I need a pissed off FDJ causing a Figo 2.0 situation. Look at his passing metrics on datamb. He’s the only one close to Kroos in passing range, accuracy, through balls, line breaking passes etc. FDJ to Real Madrid, here we go!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Frenkie De Jong certainly has the talent to make a big impact, and it will be interesting to see how his situation unfolds.
Im sorry what he is A problem look at his preformance vs liverpool and more i want him to succeed and i believe he just needs time but right now he’s been a liability
Just because you like him, what is in itself beyond me btw. He plays dogshit and i never wanted to see him at real in the first place. His character and teamplay is lacking giant holes on top hes lazy aF.
The problem with Real is that they have good players but 0 leaders. They’re all young and ignorant which isn’t good when you have a young team because there aren’t any players who are mature and are greedy like Vini, Mbappe, Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Valverde who all want to be the star but not the leader.
Arda is an attacking middfield, not an all rounder midfield. He would be better as CAM, but they are not playing a formation that allows that, while bellingham would fill that roll better. Bellingham is playing on the Left Mid. The Only player to ever to play on the Left/Right in midfield and score consistently is Christiano Ronaldo. And that was before going to Real Madrid were he played more forward as a winger/striker.
Been saying it to everyone for the last year or so. That's why the recent news of RM linking to Enzo of Chelsea. But he's expensive. Might wanna go with Caseidai, Chewuemeka or Deusberryhall. They're cheaper & close to finished product than those in the video.
its just like barca without messi, they relied on him tooooo much that they didnt find any other players on that RW, and then u come all these players who were no use
Madrid will recover without buying anyone. They are a bit burnt out because of all the games they have been playing. They are the best in the world and will gain form as the season progresses
I think Jude can do what Kroos did. The problem is that I think he took a liking to being in the spotlight as he was more of a goal scorer last season. Now going back to his earlier role probably doesn't give him as much "high" as playing as more of an attacker in front of the goal. He's great but probably a bit pissed at Mbappe not making runs that he sees and makes himself. Maybe even thinking, "I could do better than you in that position." Jude certainly has the football IQ to do what Kroos did, but don't know if that's what he wants to do now.
You make a valid point! Jude has definitely shown his scoring ability, but adapting back to a midfield role could be a challenge. It’ll be interesting to see how he balances both sides of his game.
You said Bellingham isn't about sitting deep and controlling the tempo, he was DLPM or CDM at Dortmund, he is amazing in the tackle and defensively, he has the ability to be a Gerrard on steroids meets Superman. Give the freedom back to Jude
it's exactly that. You can't considered an attacking team and have no deep-lying playmaker. It was a complete L from Perez not to sign a playmaker this season.
Toni Kross is gone and we can now see how truly great he was for Real Madrid as a player a leader a playmaker. Toni will be missed terribly at Madrid. Embape is playing out of position because Vinny is there.Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world and changes for no one player great players adapt or they fold like Hazard on laundry day.
Absolutely, Toni Kross was an incredible player and his impact on the team was immense. It's going to be tough to fill those shoes, but let's hope the new talent can rise to the occasion!
Average Stats Marchant I get that Mbappa is ging bad but Jude is doing he is supposed to do. Man up and watch real football not highlights on yt Jude is basically doing 70 percent job in pitch CLOWN
What decline ? We've had worse starts before Madrid shows its true intentions after Christmas, and it's around mid-February when we - madriditas - know for sure if the season will be great or empty 😅
Madrid should hire from La Masia if they want a playmaking type midfielder. Cole Palmer is that guy but he needs to operate with free movement like in Chelsea (its impossible in RM to play like that when Perez & Ancelotti both wanna play box to box to justify their forwards) Its not Bellingham's fault if Camavinga & Tchoumeni don't have brains which even 14-15 aged Barcelona players have (they are very skillful but lack brains to do playmaking)
Bellingham is practically a ghost?? are u serious. I didn't like when we signed him coz we had many midfielders but Jude and Valverde are the last players to ghost in any game it's just not their thing they can't ghost
I think Kross in Madrid great but Kanté in Leister and Chelsea is another level. He is an artist. Madrid always have best players, as strilers and wingers but Chelsea and Leister didn't. Kanté made thing possible. His stamina, work ethics, intelligence forced things to happen. He is a living legend!... *N'golo Kanté* take a bow!!. Master piece!!
Just like Barca don't have their new Busquets yet Madrid will also struggle to replace Kroos and so did Milan with Pirlo and Man United with Paul Scholes They could switch to a 3 man back line and have one extra man at the center of the park
@@FutbolHistoria88 Yeah let's see.. but as far as signing goes they should go for the type you suggested in the video, someone from Bundesliga or the Prmier League, their best players in the past 15 years have been from these leagues with the exception of Benzema. Serie A would also work but definitely not Ligue 1 again Thanks for the good videos 👍
I would say the only best player in Madrid this season is jude cuz hes doing a 3 man job . Creating chances like kroos . Supporting the defence and wing area . As long as i know carlos acceloti brought mbappe to show that RM have money to buy these player . Instead of wasting money on mbappe they should have bougth a great midfielder and also they should play guller and brahim, endrik more is small matches not against teams like Liverpool. Mbappe lack confidence. And the main reason is their is no chemistry btw the team . Like the shatter around a lot while a counter attack comes towards them . Most key player are also injured.
I'm so tired of this fallacy there's more than enough clip in our ammo as Kroos' replacement it's Ancellotti's adaption at fault Kroos' departure is a lazy claim
Because instead of getting a Kroos like CM,they go for a CAM/CF and wait for Mbappe to take The CF/ST role and move the CAM/CF to play the CM role like Kroos. Now they want to move Mbappe to the left and do what with Vini JR.Vini allready that LW.Would like to see what Real Madrid going to do. Galactico's is nothing if each and every player is not brought in as part of the team puzzle.if this does not work out.RM sabotaged themselves.RM got Cristiano Ronaldo syndrome
You make some valid points! It’ll be interesting to see how Real Madrid navigates their lineup and whether they can find the right balance with all those talented players.
I think this solves Real Madrid's many problems: Instead of playing a 4-3-3 the club should switch to a 4-2-3-1 setup and needs to make some decisions. Such as:- 1) Use Tchouameni as a CB. In the setup, a deep lying midfielder will be needed who can control the game, play threatning long balls to Vini, Rodrygo, Brahim and all the attackers. I think getting Kimmich post season makes a lot of sense even Toni Kroos has reportedly advised Madrid for this, Kimmich also has said he prefers CM over RB and he's been often used as a double pivot at Bayern. If not any other deep lying orchestrator will be fine. With a DLP play Fede Valverde/Camavinga (rotation) as double pivot who are ball winners. 2) Mbappe needs to adapt fast at that ST position fast. Preferably give him some time like max three seasons, if he fails to adapt, get rid off him and get a new ST who's a proper no.9 like Haaland, Isak, Gyokeres etc. in 2026 or 2027 window somebody slightly older like 25+ which will also help Bobby Endrick grow. 3) Get Alphonso Davies selling Mendy: This helps a lot as not only Davies will provide that recovery pace while falling back but also provide space for Vini making overlapping runs. 4) With this, in a perfect world Real Madrid's new lineup could be this:- Courtois/Lunin in goal Davies/Fran or Miguel (depends between these two, Rudiger, Militao, Alaba, Tchouameni and Raul Ascensio as two CBs and Carvajal/Trent or Porro(depending on signings and Lucas as RB. A deep lying playmaker like Kimmich/Vitinha or any other guy with Fede and Cama at double pivots. Bellingham as 10, Vini, Rodrygo, Brahim and Guler on wings. (Brahim can replace either of wingers when injured, if Vini's injured, Rodrygo can always be shifted towards LW. If Rodrygo's injured Brahim/Guler can always play as RW. Arda and Brahim can also rest Bellingham. Mbappe or other no.9 (completely depends on Mbappe's adaptation) with Endrick as solo ST. This solves a lot of problems. Team's balance isnt compromised and you get a deep lying playmaker to control the tempo, break lines and play risky long balls and through balls. Lastly, it pretty much depends on Mbappe to whether he turns to next Ronaldo or next Eden Hazard at this point. Valverde is there to provide a defensive cover to that deep lying playmaker. My options are Kimmich for the short run which is realistic given his contract is expiring, he himself said he prefers CM over RB and he's been used as a double pivot often at Bayern. On the long run Zaire Emery from PSG, hopefully he doesnt make the same mistake Mbappe did, staying too long at France.
Thank you for sharing such an in-depth analysis! It's clear you've put a lot of thought into this, and I really appreciate your insights on the team's potential lineup.
Nah saying Bellingham is a ghost this season is like saying u dont pay attention to the games Jude and the goal keeper are basically the only ppl doing anything, mbappe and the defense are sleeping so jude has to do both at the same time, which ofc doesn't let him shine like he did last season
@FutbolHistoria88 yh, I think there was this passing challenge where he had to kick the ball into the basketball hoop and he kicked it and it curved straight into the hoop first try
i think there many things wrong right now, if kroos was still there the problems maybe less but not gone. carlo seems kinda clueless, mbappe is not integrated well, potential young stars beeing nearly completely ignored ..... and then all the injuries in the defense... having all that in the back of your head takes confidence as well, even if your a star at real madrid. in the end, we're all just humans
we maybe need a new kroos bc if real madrid keep depends on modric passes its not gonna work bc hes old and not ass good as he was anymore we need a proper playmaker maybe we cam pick vitinha but psg are not selling him to real madrid so maybe we can try to give guller some chace or we need to buy a new talented midfielder but we kinda have to give guller a chace bc bro why do we have guller on madrid bech and just wasted guller potential we can't let that happen guller is talented but he just need more chace even if i play fc career mode and need a tapented midfielder i will always pick guller bc i know hes talented in game or real live so please give guller more chace we can't wasted his talend bc he have a potential to be the best turkeys midfielder and even became better than ozil himself i know he got that potential in him just give him more chace
Btw, im gonna make a video on Haaland being similar to Messi 2018-19 because Haaland is carrying man city and without haaland the city downfall would have started from the ipswich game and haaland is so much more than a poacher, if you end up making a video like that it would be great to spread the message because haaland is the 2nd best player of this generation and could be the best in a few seasons

Been saying it to everyone for the last year or so.
That's why the recent news of RM linking to Enzo of Chelsea. But he's expensive.
Might wanna go with Caseidai, Chewuemeka or Deusberryhall. They're cheaper & close to finished product than those in the video.

Thank you so much for subscribing! Your enthusiasm means a lot, and I can't wait to share more awesome content with you! 🙏🙌
its just like barca without messi, they relied on him tooooo much that they didnt find any other players on that RW, and then u come all these players who were no use
👍
barsa havent done anything in europe since 2015. me$$i didnt leave till 2021. what's the excuse for those 6 years?
This is the only based explanation for Madrid's state of affairs rn. I have been saying this since
Bruno is the perfect replacement of Toni Kroos i think😊
hmm interesting
No don't you dare say that
we need a person who can also defend I don't think he's the right person
Underrated video my guy!! You have earned a subscriber!
Wow, thank you for subscribing! I really appreciate your support and I'm thrilled you found the video valuable! 🙏🙌✌
Madrid will recover without buying anyone. They are a bit burnt out because of all the games they have been playing. They are the best in the world and will gain form as the season progresses
Your channel is so good brother keep it up 👏🏿👏🏿 hope to see you grow bigger
8:29 😂😂 you saw me roll my eyes what is this sidekick ability 😂
Thank you for your support! It means a lot to me, and I'm looking forward to sharing more content with you! 🙏🙌✌
I think Jude can do what Kroos did. The problem is that I think he took a liking to being in the spotlight as he was more of a goal scorer last season. Now going back to his earlier role probably doesn't give him as much "high" as playing as more of an attacker in front of the goal. He's great but probably a bit pissed at Mbappe not making runs that he sees and makes himself. Maybe even thinking, "I could do better than you in that position." Jude certainly has the football IQ to do what Kroos did, but don't know if that's what he wants to do now.
You make a valid point! Jude has definitely shown his scoring ability, but adapting back to a midfield role could be a challenge. It’ll be interesting to see how he balances both sides of his game.
i still believe they are winning the ucl.
Modern Football Training simply deleted this type of player
They should try to get Kimmich. Tschouameni, Kimmich, Valverde is crazy.
👍
I rather have a kroos, than a Zidane in my team ngl .
You said Bellingham isn't about sitting deep and controlling the tempo, he was DLPM or CDM at Dortmund, he is amazing in the tackle and defensively, he has the ability to be a Gerrard on steroids meets Superman. Give the freedom back to Jude
it's exactly that. You can't considered an attacking team and have no deep-lying playmaker. It was a complete L from Perez not to sign a playmaker this season.
Toni Kross is gone and we can now see how truly great he was for Real Madrid as a player a leader a playmaker. Toni will be missed terribly at Madrid. Embape is playing out of position because Vinny is there.Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world and changes for no one player great players adapt or they fold like Hazard on laundry day.
Absolutely, Toni Kross was an incredible player and his impact on the team was immense. It's going to be tough to fill those shoes, but let's hope the new talent can rise to the occasion!
Average Stats Marchant I get that Mbappa is ging bad but Jude is doing he is supposed to do. Man up and watch real football not highlights on yt
Jude is basically doing 70 percent job in pitch
CLOWN
calhanoglu would fit the role perfectly, but idk if its a realistic option, plus he's 30.
Kudos for not posting the 130th video blaming it all on Mbappe.
hes probably the main part of it, but a big part of it is also mbappes fault because kroos cant tell mbappe how to finish goals/penalities
Sorry Kroos isn't the only reason, Kroos and Modric is the best centre pairing of all time
United should sign Wharton , him and Mainoo can boss midfields in the e future
My fav.midfielder with kaka and müller
What decline ? We've had worse starts before
Madrid shows its true intentions after Christmas, and it's around mid-February when we - madriditas - know for sure if the season will be great or empty 😅
Atleast a season of trio Kross Mbappe vini would ve been ❤
Zubimendi would be the best replacement
Real Madrid is the reason for Real Madrids decline. Let’s stop playing the blame game here, everyone is to blame at the end of the day.
Id go for Larsson, this guy is special!
✌
Madrid should hire from La Masia if they want a playmaking type midfielder.
Cole Palmer is that guy but he needs to operate with free movement like in Chelsea (its impossible in RM to play like that when Perez & Ancelotti both wanna play box to box to justify their forwards) Its not Bellingham's fault if Camavinga & Tchoumeni don't have brains which even 14-15 aged Barcelona players have (they are very skillful but lack brains to do playmaking)
Mbappé and Bellingham both don’t have a girl
So it’s better they will be on semen retention
Bellingham is practically a ghost?? are u serious. I didn't like when we signed him coz we had many midfielders but Jude and Valverde are the last players to ghost in any game it's just not their thing they can't ghost
I'd give Amadou Onana a shout
The disrespect Ceballos gets
Yeah after childish disrespect from Vini sure as hell Kimmich will get along with him😂
I think Kross in Madrid great but Kanté in Leister and Chelsea is another level. He is an artist. Madrid always have best players, as strilers and wingers but Chelsea and Leister didn't. Kanté made thing possible. His stamina, work ethics, intelligence forced things to happen. He is a living legend!... *N'golo Kanté* take a bow!!. Master piece!!
✌👍
What about Arda Güler
Just like when Makelele left
They never learned
Just like Barca don't have their new Busquets yet Madrid will also struggle to replace Kroos and so did Milan with Pirlo and Man United with Paul Scholes
They could switch to a 3 man back line and have one extra man at the center of the park
Totally get what you mean! Switching things up could really help them out. Let’s see how it plays out!
@@FutbolHistoria88 Yeah let's see.. but as far as signing goes they should go for the type you suggested in the video, someone from Bundesliga or the Prmier League, their best players in the past 15 years have been from these leagues with the exception of Benzema. Serie A would also work but definitely not Ligue 1 again
Thanks for the good videos 👍
@@kamran5756 👍✊
I would say the only best player in Madrid this season is jude cuz hes doing a 3 man job . Creating chances like kroos . Supporting the defence and wing area . As long as i know carlos acceloti brought mbappe to show that RM have money to buy these player . Instead of wasting money on mbappe they should have bougth a great midfielder and also they should play guller and brahim, endrik more is small matches not against teams like Liverpool. Mbappe lack confidence. And the main reason is their is no chemistry btw the team . Like the shatter around a lot while a counter attack comes towards them . Most key player are also injured.
I'm so tired of this fallacy there's more than enough clip in our ammo as Kroos' replacement it's Ancellotti's adaption at fault Kroos' departure is a lazy claim
Because instead of getting a Kroos like CM,they go for a CAM/CF and wait for Mbappe to take The CF/ST role and move the CAM/CF to play the CM role like Kroos. Now they want to move Mbappe to the left and do what with Vini JR.Vini allready that LW.Would like to see what Real Madrid going to do. Galactico's is nothing if each and every player is not brought in as part of the team puzzle.if this does not work out.RM sabotaged themselves.RM got Cristiano Ronaldo syndrome
You make some valid points! It’ll be interesting to see how Real Madrid navigates their lineup and whether they can find the right balance with all those talented players.
W video, but jude Bellingham isn't playing that bad, he will be one of the last players i would blame for Madrid
they need to change system to adapt.. And if they buy a young deep lying playmaker, Ancelottin will just leave him on the bench
I think this solves Real Madrid's many problems: Instead of playing a 4-3-3 the club should switch to a 4-2-3-1 setup and needs to make some decisions. Such as:-
1) Use Tchouameni as a CB. In the setup, a deep lying midfielder will be needed who can control the game, play threatning long balls to Vini, Rodrygo, Brahim and all the attackers. I think getting Kimmich post season makes a lot of sense even Toni Kroos has reportedly advised Madrid for this, Kimmich also has said he prefers CM over RB and he's been often used as a double pivot at Bayern. If not any other deep lying orchestrator will be fine. With a DLP play Fede Valverde/Camavinga (rotation) as double pivot who are ball winners.
2) Mbappe needs to adapt fast at that ST position fast. Preferably give him some time like max three seasons, if he fails to adapt, get rid off him and get a new ST who's a proper no.9 like Haaland, Isak, Gyokeres etc. in 2026 or 2027 window somebody slightly older like 25+ which will also help Bobby Endrick grow.
3) Get Alphonso Davies selling Mendy: This helps a lot as not only Davies will provide that recovery pace while falling back but also provide space for Vini making overlapping runs.
4) With this, in a perfect world Real Madrid's new lineup could be this:-
Courtois/Lunin in goal
Davies/Fran or Miguel (depends between these two, Rudiger, Militao, Alaba, Tchouameni and Raul Ascensio as two CBs and Carvajal/Trent or Porro(depending on signings and Lucas as RB.
A deep lying playmaker like Kimmich/Vitinha or any other guy with Fede and Cama at double pivots.
Bellingham as 10, Vini, Rodrygo, Brahim and Guler on wings. (Brahim can replace either of wingers when injured, if Vini's injured, Rodrygo can always be shifted towards LW. If Rodrygo's injured Brahim/Guler can always play as RW. Arda and Brahim can also rest Bellingham.
Mbappe or other no.9 (completely depends on Mbappe's adaptation) with Endrick as solo ST.
This solves a lot of problems. Team's balance isnt compromised and you get a deep lying playmaker to control the tempo, break lines and play risky long balls and through balls. Lastly,
it pretty much depends on Mbappe to whether he turns to next Ronaldo or next Eden Hazard at this point. Valverde is there to provide a defensive cover to that deep lying playmaker. My options are Kimmich for the short run which is realistic given his contract is expiring, he himself said he prefers CM over RB and he's been used as a double pivot often at Bayern. On the long run Zaire Emery from PSG, hopefully he doesnt make the same mistake Mbappe did, staying too long at France.
Thank you for sharing such an in-depth analysis! It's clear you've put a lot of thought into this, and I really appreciate your insights on the team's potential lineup.
Nah saying Bellingham is a ghost this season is like saying u dont pay attention to the games
Jude and the goal keeper are basically the only ppl doing anything, mbappe and the defense are sleeping so jude has to do both at the same time, which ofc doesn't let him shine like he did last season
Kroos was also the best passer in the world imo
100%
@FutbolHistoria88 yh, I think there was this passing challenge where he had to kick the ball into the basketball hoop and he kicked it and it curved straight into the hoop first try
That's not opinion, that's a fact
Jude should play in the Kross postion. That will solve most of our problem
i think there many things wrong right now, if kroos was still there the problems maybe less but not gone.
carlo seems kinda clueless, mbappe is not integrated well, potential young stars beeing nearly completely ignored ..... and then all the injuries in the defense...
having all that in the back of your head takes confidence as well, even if your a star at real madrid.
in the end, we're all just humans
I would throw João Neves hat in the ring.
Mannn i just miss Joselu 😢😢
Simply.... Mpbappe is not working and in the midfield Thouimeni should he selled
bellingham is still playing well, he just changed his position so he wouldnt have has much ga
Kroos or Bellingham should of won the ballon dor
When will u guys finally understand that every single problem in Real Madrid is caused by just 1 men and thats Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti video is coming soon...
and people still have the audacity to say KDB is better than Kroos...
in der champions league ist es ein bisschen cringe aber in der liga steht real madrid sehr gut da von den punkten her
Develop Arda Guler into a deep-lying playmaker like how Andrea Pirlo was transformed into one
👍
It's mbappe fault and the club
Big teams are really falling off madrid city evrey league out there in the world is having their big teams falling off😢
Shame they let go of odegaard
we maybe need a new kroos bc if real madrid keep depends on modric passes its not gonna work bc hes old and not ass good as he was anymore we need a proper playmaker maybe we cam pick vitinha but psg are not selling him to real madrid so maybe we can try to give guller some chace or we need to buy a new talented midfielder but we kinda have to give guller a chace bc bro why do we have guller on madrid bech and just wasted guller potential we can't let that happen guller is talented but he just need more chace even if i play fc career mode and need a tapented midfielder i will always pick guller bc i know hes talented in game or real live so please give guller more chace we can't wasted his talend bc he have a potential to be the best turkeys midfielder and even became better than ozil himself i know he got that potential in him just give him more chace
Btw, im gonna make a video on Haaland being similar to Messi 2018-19 because Haaland is carrying man city and without haaland the city downfall would have started from the ipswich game and haaland is so much more than a poacher, if you end up making a video like that it would be great to spread the message because haaland is the 2nd best player of this generation and could be the best in a few seasons
