Real Madrid's dilemma in the 20 15 season is that either the midfield is suffocated by the opponent or the striker is blocked by the opponent. Carlo Ancelotti has long warned the club's top management that the lack of pure midfielders forces Carlo Cross, J Ronaldo and isco to play together, which is not good for Bell and C Ronaldo.
The most dramatic scene of Real Madrid this season happened in the Champions League 1/4 final away game against Atletico Madrid. At that time, the team was stronger than Ma Zhuang, and no one was absent. Carlo Ancelotti can list the strongest teams, but the arrangement of the Italian coach is quite surprising. After an hour of continuous attack, Real Madrid's football became intermittent, Cross was panting, and the front waist players were exhausted. Bell and Cristiano Ronaldo are the direct manifestations of the team's anxiety. A player sitting on the bench of Real Madrid said: "Bell and Cristiano Ronaldo are very pale." The performance of the two big stars is paler than the jerseys. They are so ignorant that they can only shoot from 30 meters away.
Ancelotti once handed over the analysis of the team to the club's top management. An eyewitness revealed: "Ancelotti told the top management that the team's defects were so obvious that it had to rob Peter to pay Paul to strengthen this line, but the other line could not." He said that it is difficult for him to design a tactical framework that runs smoothly in all aspects. "
For Ancelotti's analysis, the top management of the club was very surprised. They remembered that Carlo Ancelotti once said at 20 13 that if Real Madrid wanted to control the game with the ball, then Ronaldo's ideal partner should definitely not be Bell. But the introduction of Bell is irreversible, and Real Madrid must design a special tactical model. Carlo Ancelotti proposed a 4-3-3 formation with three tanks in midfield. In order to make the tactics work, in the spring of 20 14, he suggested that the club renew the contract with Benzema. Benzema is the No.9 who moistens the front line. He can provide the ball to the shooter.
In addition, Ancelotti also suggested that the club should bring in strong midfielders to fill the huge space between the defensive line and the single-minded attack front line. Carlo Ancelotti urged the club to keep Alonso. Ancelotti said Alonso is the perfect player to complete this model and the smartest midfielder to control the pace of the game. Alonso can help strikers get rid of defensive tasks and save energy for teammates. In order to protect Alonso, Ancelotti suggested renewing the contract with marathon runner Di Maria and bringing in another player, vidal. But Juventus asked for 60 million euros, so Real Madrid didn't start negotiations at all.
Carlo Ancelotti wants to consolidate the tactics of liberating strikers and make the teams that win the Champions League more balanced. Under Alonso's command, Real Madrid's defense line retreated 20 meters. Alonso, under the protection of Di Maria and modric, knew how to create space in his team's half court and launch a counterattack, while ensuring timely retreat. There is a space of 50 meters in front of them, and Bell and Cristiano Ronaldo are very happy.
However, with the sale of Alonso and Di Maria, and the addition of two technical players, Cross and J Ronaldo, the panorama of Real Madrid has completely changed. Carlo Ancelotti found the front waist of the team crowded, Croce, isco, modric and J Ronaldo were all front waists. Real Madrid's first choice is to strengthen Bell and Cristiano Ronaldo, because it is not feasible tactically if other players don't quit. Ancelotti believes that other midfielders, such as Iralamendi, Khedira and Lucas, who joined later, are not pure midfielders, that is, they are not midfielders like Alonso, Pirlo, Mascherano and busquets. They can accompany the midfield, but they can't play the role of midfield in front of two central defenders without exposing their shortcomings.
In the process of Real Madrid's bid for the 10 Champions League, modric was relatively weak in physical fitness, but this season he became the most comprehensive midfielder. The fans and the top management of the club claimed to win the first 1 1 Champions League, but neither J Ronaldo, Cross nor isco could liberate Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell. They don't know how to defend in their own half like Alonso. The 4-2 defeat to Real Sociedad shows that Real Madrid will either change its plans or give up the La Liga title in September.
Carlo Ancelotti decided to push forward and push Real Madrid to the other half, making the work of the front waist players easier. Real Madrid's new tactic is to push the high position to make modric, J Ronaldo and isco stand out, but it also has negative effects: C Ronaldo and Bell suffocate among the opposing players. They have no room to run. The two superstars were squeezed into a narrow stage and their defects were exposed. Only Cristiano Ronaldo learned to shoot when he touched the ball with one foot and escaped the pressure from the other side.
Bell has been miserable all season. Real Madrid's best stage-the success at Anfield and the victory over Barcelona at the Bernabeu-was achieved without Bell. When Bell came on stage, Real Madrid failed to win in the face of direct competitors such as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Juventus.
The difficult 0-0 match against Atletico Madrid at Calderon Stadium made Carlo Ancelotti come to the conclusion that Real Madrid's midfield and strikers contained each other. After two rounds, Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid, but the tactical contradiction could not be solved. Now Ancelotti has left Real Madrid, but the problem of Real Madrid's midfielder is still left to Zidane. I wonder how Zidane can solve this problem.
