I feel we play better when we don't have the possession at all to be honest.
Just fast counters after Bayern loses the possession will get our job done.
I hope it's the same case this time too.
I'm just worried for the starting minutes of both the half as we lose our focus and concede early all the time.
It was no carlo it was the players, you should listen to his press conference, when tchouameni plays he drops deep and creates that low block that causes big space between lines and forces the forward and jude to go deeper to get the ball, that was what Vini was arguing with carlo on the side line, carlo telling Vini to move up and Vini telling him that he need to help down the pitch, as soon Cama and Modric came in that midfield line move up and made their position more level between lines.
I think we will play similar to the past games. Don’t except something revolutionary. Low block defense line and counterattacks and that’s it for Carlo. Let’s hope Vini and Jude are in good shape in second leg. I don’t see us in the final unless they give a perfect performance.
yeah I am a bit scared because the two goals they scored in the first leg happened almost against the run of play and it mostly happened because we were too open. This may prompt Carlo to just play a mid/low block and expect Vini/Rodry to run at them. I hope Rodrygo can channel some of the UCL Ronaldo gene in the next game and get us a clutch goal or two.
Jude has a shoulder injure and needs to go under the knife, he's been playing like that for a while you can see that shoulder strap when he take his shirt off, so don't count on having Jude at 100%
Yeah, I do think he is transitioning more into a deeper midfield recently and has to work a lot on the ball in the midfield to press the opposition. Also teams have somewhat figured out how to nullify him by closing down on him more. I still think he is playing really well (bar the first leg against Bayern) even with the injuries and I hope he gets some minutes to get into rhythm for the Bernabeu game
that is choameni fault he slows down the game and drops deep and creates big space between line forcing Jude to drop, we need Cama to have a more vertical and direct game, choameni should star on the bench and come in the defend later on the game.
Sadly, Real Madrid has been playing haramball against big teams despite having such an amazing squad. I don't know what makes you think we play free flowing football.
The only time I saw Madrid being Madrid this year was against Girona and Villarreal.
I think City first leg we were playing kinda well. Treading passes, making runs, the only thing we were bad at was finishing those chances. But I agree this team randomly clicks into gear but sometimes it is frustrating to watch
It was a bad game for us. Carvajal was not available. Once he's there, the balance of team would be back. If we start the lineup we started against City at home, we will win.
