Two (many) items I didn’t like Madrid 1. The performance of the leg against Arsenal star-news.press/wp

Stopping the arsenal

Can Real Madrid succesed three in Bernabeu and keep the arsenal outside the networks? High order. Could be lost around the dreamy dreamer: Maybe Real Madrid can score one in a early one, a second, and one-third between 45 and 90 minutes, but can they keep a clean sheet?

Two things. 1: Arsenal did not enter three goals in one and the middle of the game; And 2: Arsenal can score. Bendyo Saka has returned to the rhythm since the injuries, and Mikel Merino fans forget the injuries of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Haverns. Real Madrid will be forced to do a push. Saka and Martinelli will have more rooms behind a more aggressive blitz defensive line. Perhaps Real Madrid will score and the Arsenal will salute. As Arsenal can achieve a tie and equalize, it is to become a chamber of torturing rhythms on the clock, for Real Madrid lovers.

Real Madrid will have to do a lot of things better. Among them, Merino detects the space that operates in two central central central two central central central. Arsenal are very highly high. They have fluidity, but within a guided scope, players must occupy different areas to ensure that the group is always available with verticality and stores. Real Madrid acted in a zombie block in the central area for large stretches of emirates, and it was not compact enough to stop dangerous passages to attackers. Once Saka or Martinelli got the ball wings, they could cause danger, and Merino could take advantage of poor dialing in the box.

Real Madrid’s defense does not give little confidence to keep the sheet clean. Rio Ferdinand put it like this last week: Real Madrid will have to score four (or five) because at least you need to put at least the goldenal. Carlo Ancelotti is committed to defense: the previous two is not pressed or cover shade. Arsenal passes through a set of passes, and from there it is mathematics: there is always an open man to go as a defense scrambles, at the same time in a late rotation.

In this specific clip you will see in two fights: Real Madrid cannot deal with the high press of Arsenal, nor facing the attacker attacker:

The wood does not succeed in the final execution, but his dribbling skills gives all real problems. Bellingham has fallen in ødegaard. The wood puts the daughter in a blender. Arsenal offers complete backs and offers numbers in attacks – Real Madrid did not find an answer. The deck situation is very weak, and there is no well-equipped fight in these situations.

Breaking the arsenal

This particular first leg sequence has been in my mind all week long:

That’s Thibaut Courtois to catch a corner with eight Arsenal players in the last third, and he had the opportunity to throw the ball in the transition with Arsenal back-peddling. You can’t see the ball: Arsenal vinicius has blocked a potential passage to find the transition, if the set fails, and the whole team moves so fast. What you don’t listen to in the front clip: The whole stadium applauds the effort to return. The court is stuck with a simple passageway.

Eventually what happens in this sequence: Real Madrid knocks without target or verticality, Arsenal hit the ball with the ball.

Madrid (very) had the opportunity to attack the transition space, one of three things happened: 1) to break too slow; 2) Arsenal recovered so quickly that they erased counterattack; Or 3) It was horrible to pass through Real Madrid.

There is no margin of error on Wednesday. Vinicius and MBappe must discover the best games of the season; Asenci and Rüdiger will have to put a line of fire marshalling; The modches must pull the clock back; CEBALLOS has been rhythm and healthy for two months. It is reality that I should have declined the entire list of players who need to reduce the performance of the season.

It is a lot to oppose tactically perforated two effective direction.
