M8 I’m sure replacing Joselu with Mbappe won’t be a disaster
They will have some of the best attaching players. If they have a good team, it is discussable.
Yeah, ik they made a comeback but letting Almeria score twice really shocked me
What you think means press is not what intelligent football managers think of as a press!
With the speed of Vini, Mbappe, and Rodrygo, that team will be devastating in the counter. That team will be like the Real Madrid of 2012 with CR7, Benz, and Angel of Death Di Maria
I thought Ancelotti signed a contract extension for a couple of more years?
That's why they should keep playing with 4 midfielders, staying in mid/deep block will work better with box or diamond, Mbappe and Vini can chill a bit, but they will press when needed
Stuff like that is what makes football boring sometimes. I like our deep style it suits the players we have.
Sit deep, problem solved
See pressing and maintaining a high line invites counter attacks, it is perfect for Real Madrid attackers.
Real Madrid is never interested in pressing because that's not the football about. Let the opponent have the ball. If they're good enough, they will score a goal. When Real Madrid has the ball, it is the turn for them to keep it as long as possible till score a goal. That's why Real Madrid is the real football.
When these boys in their prime few years later, any tactics work fine 😂
Mbappe coming to arsenal
But antony presses very good.. Rashford this season doesn't do anything for sure😮
Hansi Flick is going to suit this team so well with Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham in front and Davies, a potential new RB/Carvajal at the back. The pressing machine
Madrid never went for full press. Even against barca , they understood its ok if the opponents dominate you in possession. You just need to score more goals!
Becoming a pressing, mechanistic team like Man City vs. classic Galacticos is like “The Game Has Changed” Nike ad. I think we know what football would prefer!
If it works whats the problem?
Nah, Real Madrid do press if a team likes to build from the back, but if they can't seem to be successful they leave it alone and mark as normal.
Good luck fitting both Mbappe and Vinicius in. And i‘d rather have Vinicius
Who cares about conceding when you scorw 5 every game
Also Madrid has acknowledged they need a central striker, but Mbappe likes to play on the left. Which is where Vini Jr plays, so that'll be interesting…
Real will just tekkers their way through a high press 👌
Aas a madrid fan,I like this way of ancelotti approach bcoz all it needs just one quality chance to turn the game down,being clinical and not expending much energy on pressing
This Videos shows de Bias towards an football style. I don’t believe pressing would be the greater challenge specifically because we talking about a team that don’t care about pressing, rather it will be the fitting with Vini Jr since both like the same spaces and with Jude due to the fact that “arrives late” at the other spaces that Kylian could explore. Adding to it is the Egos, considering the entire drama of “Kylian to Madrid” it gives the sense that he has an Big Ego fulled by PSG that will require some adjustments by him and the new teammates who have being doing just fine without him.
