Ancelotti's Real Madrid is sick!
And it's not too sick!
This is the conclusion reached by Real Madrid after a three-on-three draw against Schalke 04.
After the game, almost all media agreed that Real Madrid lost, Ancelotti is the number one sinner, they can not understand why Modric, who has recovered from the injury, will reappear in the starting lineup, do not need to give him a little time ?
Ancelotti's explanation for this is that Modric has been training with the team for some time, and he has adjusted well in training.
But the editor-in-chief of Alfredo Alfredo pointed out in the column that training and actual combat are two rounds. Similar to the wounded like Modric, he should be allowed to replace him, let him adjust slowly, and find his status. He was not pushed to the starting lineup all at once.
Alfredo believes that Ancelotti is very stubborn, and even a bit paranoid trying to prove that his ideas are correct. .
"He hopes to reorganize the combination of Modric and Tony Cross's two technical midfielders, and then to drive Real Madrid's overall attack, allowing Real Madrid to reproduce the offensive football of the first half of the 22-game winning streak. But obviously, he lost the bet! "
The Marca newspaper also bluntly accused Ancelotti, believing that he was losing the trust of the Bernabeu and even Real Madrid locker room.
"Modric's return is certainly a pleasure, but Ancelotti's stubbornness is also unimaginable. Why must he be so important when Mascherano and Illyarmendi are performing stably Pick up the technical double back configuration? "
"Even against Schalke, even at the final stage of the game, he still refused to switch to a defensive midfielder, which is incomprehensible. Ancelotti seems to have been stuck in his mind. In the trap, I can't withdraw. "
The Marca newspaper believes that Real Madrid did play very well in the first half and the offensive was surging, but that has passed. Now the best and most beautiful La Liga is Barcelona. The two giants each played half of the season offensive Football, but Real Madrid fell into a trough.
In this case, Real Madrid should choose stability rather than risk it.
"Ancelotti should thank Azpilicueta and Suarez. Without them, Real Madrid is likely to be rejected outside the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and this game is also worth thinking about. What does Real Madrid need? "
The Marca newspaper finally said that against this Real Madrid against Schalke 04, people do not see any possibility of holding the cup. Even if they are barely entering the quarterfinals, they will only be eliminated by their opponents. further.
Even if Real Madrid does not improve, facing Barcelona in this state, it may be a sure defeat, and may even give up the position of the league leader.
"Ancelotti mentioned Yang Yang. Indeed, Real Madrid is very dependent on Yang Yang, but we cannot shirk all the responsibilities and all the pressure on Yang Yang. That is an irresponsible. We need to build a strong team around Yang Yang. And a competitive team, but now it seems that Ancelotti is going further and further away from this road. "
Catalonia ’s World Sports News directly sarcastically said that on this night in Bernabeu, Real Madrid is like a headless fly without a soul. Real Madrid kicked a lot of bad scenes in the game, the fans screamed players And Real Madrid players' game investment is also very bad, without the spirit of unity and mutual help in the past.
"Such a team does not dare to have high hopes!"
The World Sports News concluded that if Real Madrid did not improve, at the Camp Nou, the recent hot Barcelona will give Real Madrid a disgraceful defeat.
"Even if Yang Yang returns, this result cannot be changed!"
...
Yang Yang did not participate in the outside discussion. He neither fell to Ancelotti nor expressed any opinion.
The team lost the ball and everyone felt uncomfortable, including Ancelotti.
But this does not prevent him from researching and analyzing this game.
According to the statistics given after the UEFA official match, the total distance of the German team's running against Schalke's 04 game is 121.8 kilometers, and Real Madrid's total The team adds up to only 112.4 kilometers, which means that Real Madrid's running distance is nearly ten kilometers shorter than its opponents.
This is quite an incredible number because almost one person is missing.
I would like to ask, if there is one person less than the opponent in the whole game, how can we still play?
The game of Schalke 04 was indeed a fighting game. Obviously, they adjusted well before the game. Their team ran the least. Apart from the goalkeeper, it was the central defender Matip, but it also exceeded ten kilometers. There were three people running more than twelve kilometers, including former Real Madrid player Huntelaar.
The Real Madrid team ran the most. Tony Cross, 11.8 kilometers, it can be seen that he has been running hard to cover, maintaining Real Madrid ’s weak midfielder, but most of the time is chasing opponents, the effect Not obvious.
In addition to not being active, Real Madrid ’s accurate pass was only 347 times, Schalke reached 421, which was almost 100 times more than Real Madrid, which is difficult Believe.
You know, Real Madrid let Tony Cross and Modric double back, the purpose is to control the midfield, but the number of passes is actually behind the Schalke by 0.4, which can not be explained.
Obviously, this is not just a problem of poor condition and fatigue.
These factors certainly exist, but more importantly, Ancelotti is gradually losing the trust of Real Madrid's dressing room.
In other words, many players are uneasy about him, or dissatisfied with his formation.
From this point of view, let Modric return to the starting line, directly replace Mascherano, and double back with Tony Cross. Although there was no strong opposition from the locker room, the players also voted in their hearts. .
Football has always been complicated.
Ancelotti went to the altar in Real Madrid, and now it seems that it is likely to go down this season.
…………
…………
There is a good saying, the house leaks in the middle of the night rain, and the ship is late in the wind.
In the first half of Real Madrid, everything was going well, but in the second half, Real Madrid began to be unlucky, and all its opponents came out one after another.
The results of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw came out, and Real Madrid once again won the same city rival, Atletico Madrid.
This is an unimaginable sign!
The King's Cup knockout encounters Atletico Madrid and Barcelona one after another, and it was difficult to get past the finals. As a result, the Champions League quarter-finals met Atletico Madrid again.
Another matchup with Real Madrid in the same half and half is Juventus and Monaco. The Serie A team was really lucky, drawing the weakest Monaco in the quarter-finals.
In other words, even if Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid, the next opponent will be the difficult Juventus.
So much so that when the result of the lottery came out, all the media and fans close to Real Madrid were staggering.
Luck in the second half was really too much, so extreme.
Of course, if Real Madrid wants to encounter Barcelona again in the Champions League, they can only reach the final.
…………
…………
Luck is one thing, but the game will continue.
On the evening of March 15, Real Madrid sat in the Bernabeu Stadium and ushered in the 27th round opponent, Levante.
Yang Yang returned to the starting lineup, and Ancelotti also adjusted Real Madrid's lineup.
In the midfield, Tony Cross took a break, Modric returned to partner with David Silva, Mascherano served as the team's single midfielder, Real Madrid returned to the four three three formation.
In the eighteenth minute of the first half, Modric sent a direct pass, Hames Rodriguez made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Yang Yang barbed at the edge of the small penalty area, breaking the goal of Levante Real Madrid opened the record for the first time.
In the 40th minute, Real Madrid expanded the score again.
Modric made a quick free kick in the frontcourt, Carvajal inserted the ball, drove the ball into the bottom line and passed back. Yang Yang caught up with a right-footed volley and once again broke Levante's goal. .
This score also remained at the end of the game, Real Madrid scored twice with Yang Yang's score, defeated Levante with two goals.
...
In another matchup with Real Madrid, Barcelona scored twice with Messi's goal, defeating Eval 2-0, and one of Messi's goals was still a penalty.
However, this game was the best. The Croatian midfielder Rakitic was elected the best player of the match. He performed very well in the game. With Busquets missing due to injury, he led Barcelona midfielder completely suppressed Ebal, creating many opportunities for the frontcourt.
However, in the victory over Ebal, Neymar in the trident was replaced again in advance, replacing Pedro.
The Brazilian winger looked ugly when he was off the court, but also expressed his dissatisfaction with being replaced by Enrique, but he did not perform well in the entire game. .
This is also a hidden danger in Barcelona.
The trident in the front court is certainly a collection of superstars, which is daunting, but the three superstars have always been unable to form a joint force, which is also a big problem facing Barcelona since the last two seasons.
Real Madrid has problems with Real Madrid, Barcelona also has problems with Barcelona, but in general, Barcelona has better momentum, which also makes the outside world full of worries about the next round of the century derby. After all, Real Madrid will be at the Nou Camp.
Instead, Atletico Madrid, this team can only play the role of a spoiler.
Simoni's team defeated Almeria 3-0 in the twenty-fourth round, and then encountered three consecutive draws in the next three rounds. Although the opponents are all strong players such as Seville, Valencia and the Spaniards, but In three consecutive draws, Atletico Madrid has basically announced its withdrawal from the league competition to ensure the top three.
Real Madrid is the leader of the standings with a four-point advantage, followed by Barcelona, which also makes Century Derby once again become an important node of the La Liga this season.
As long as Real Madrid win this game, the lead will expand to seven points, basically locking the overall situation.
But if Barcelona wins at home, the gap between the two sides will be shortened to one point, which will be a nightmare for Real Madrid, who are in poor condition.
