Happy for the win Great goals by Vini and Fede Rodrygo needs more respect. It was great seeing Camavinga again That Carvahal injury has to be one of the nastiest I have ever seen The news came out today that it is both cruciate ligaments and possibly a frontal tendon. Wishing him the best
Thanks very precise roundup as always. Watching the match I noted poor Jude’s frustrations at times. Body language he is not himself having followed him since Birmingham days and Dortmund. He is wasted on the left and looks like he has not got the go ahead of making those late runs into the box as often as before. I agree Mbappe arrival has complicated stuff. We’re not seeing Jude’s potential as before. Even noted at times he was frustrated when he was possibly making good runs or in the box in a better position than Mbappe and was not passed to. Carlos has to sort this out. Tragic end to the match with Carvajal injured 😢. Sending him all our best wishes. HALA MADRID from Brazil 🇧🇷. Looking forward to your next podcast! Abraços.
Well done my bro well analyzed, I have said it from the beginning that we will really find it tough this season for the simple fact that other teams will be well prepared for us and ready to defend and frustrate us, and to make it worse the injury is not even helping matters at all so for now we should not even be thinking about playing fantastic football but to find away to win our matches and be in contention for the titles then try get our injured players back, then after this season we can now plan for the next season which I believe we will do better that’s my take from this whole debacle Hala Madrid
Yes, it's hard to be optimistic about this season. But we need to plan properly for next season, meaning strengthen our defense and if Modric leaves, give more playing time to some others.
@@TheGlobalMadridista very correct, a lot of things have gone wrong since Toni Kroos left, that doesn’t mean that we didn’t struggle when Toni was there but it’s now we now know Toni Kroos value so next season as to be properly planned, it’s just unfortunate that we are experiencing so much injuries this season, I still believe we can get out of it with positive results we just have to believe in ourselves and adapt to the current situation, you remain the best Hala Madrid
Glad for the win even though it wasn't very convincing; we are just not there yet. As always, you're very much on point about everything! Regarding mbappe, he did or tried runs into the box various times in order to get direct passes (vertical) but he barely got any balls. The only play i remember rn is the one with Vini that he ended up missing.
Yes, there were a couple of good combinations between Kylian and Vini. But it still isn't working properly. We can only hope they get more used these positions and improve. But the poor play and plethora of injuries have me very worried.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Sorry missed your reply! You and me both regarding the continuing injuries, and now after the 2nd half disaster in the clasico yesterday... Still believe we can learn from this and save our season - or at least the CL! Hala Madrid!
My heart goes out to Carvajal. I hope he returns stronger and better. I don't know the temporary solution we can find, because Vasquez is going to need some help as well. There are still many games to be played this year. If we have a player that can be promoted in Castilla, that might help in the interim. In the Villarreal game, Camavinga was the player who impressed me the most. His carries, and ability to just win the ball back is impressive. His passing seems to be a lot better than I remember. I believe in Real Madrid. Adversities don't stop us, rather they strengthen us, and we will rise above it. Hala Madrid!!!
How will Real Madrid solve Mbappé’s long term position dilemma? Who in the world can truly replace Carvajal? How can Rodrygo fit into the team without losing balance? What is Arda Güler’s best role with Bellingham and Rodrygo already in the squad? How long will Endrick remain patient on the bench? Should Tchouaméni or Camavinga play as the holding midfielder? The truth is, I don’t know the answers. Real Madrid’s situation is complicated, and even Ancelotti seems uncertain. Our hearts go out to Carvajal. Great video, keep it up! Hala Madrid! 👌
You hit the nail(s) on the head. These are very serious issues. And I have no idea how they get resolved. As I mentioned in a previous video, we bought the best because we wanted the best. But we were not thinking strategically about balance. It was not a very carefully thought out process. It was a bit capricious. And now we have a very messy situation.
@@TheGlobalMadridista This situation is similar to Barcelona’s with Fabregas, Xavi, and Iniesta, or Zlatan and Messi, and Real Madrid with Figo and Beckham, or Benzema and Higuaín. We all know how these experiments with overloaded players in the same position ended. Now, we can only rely on the tactical brilliance of our great coach, hoping he finds a way to make the system work in harmony.
Dani 💔💔🙏❤️🩹 I was happy with Fede goal and Vini☄️ then I heard his cry 😭 😢 I am really sad for him. I love Carvajal ❤ he is one of the old guard 🤍 he won 6 🏆 😭
He is a living legend. hen I was growing up it was incredible to think Paolo Maldini had 4 European Cups. That was already unbelievable. Now Dani has 6 !! He is a legend. Thanks for the comment.
Great video as always. Really sad to see Carvajal last night when he got injured. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery and I agree we will need the defence to be reinforced in the winter. The crucial ligaments injuries to all players is very worrying and definitely related to the amount of football they are all playing. Hopefully this is acknowledged by rule makers sooner rather than later.
I do agree with the underdog silver lining. Hard to quantify and explain how this works to people who don’t understand. All we need is for the rest of the lads start playing with Carva’s intensity and fighting spirit and we will be up there once more.
I think we should try Vini center and Mbappe on the right. Vini at this point in his career just might have more plasticity and prove more effective in the role than Mbappe. As a long-time Valverde fan, I am thrilled with his performance as of late and am looking forward to more! Jude has very visibly been showing increasing frustration in the past few games. I admire that he is willing to play any role to help the team, but I when I think of Jude, I think of all the sacrifices that are being made to accommodate all of the star power in the team. At the end of the day, we are playing a patience game and the adjustments that are necessary for a team of this magnitude to be great requires patience. I just wonder what the individual effects will be the longer this drags on. These days I wonder more and more about Arda. Is Ancelotti trying to protect his confidence? Why does he not play more? There has to be a reason beyond our stacked roster. Still, I hope to see much more of him soon. We need to see him start and go close to the 90
Jude carries a lot of Mbappe and some of Vinnis work load, he’s not to blame for being frustrated. He runs box to box along with Valverde all game just for Mbappe to try a silly shot or lazy pass and lose the ball.
Very well said. It's hard to know what happens in practice and behind closed doors. But I agree Arda should be playing more. And I think you are totally right about the Jude frustration. It is palpable.
I'm glad Fede read my comments after the Lille match and took it upon himself to be the man to make those diagonal switches ;) Fede and Cama together has to continue. For me that was the best thing about the match. Tchouameni shouldn't be near the midfield again. Carva has just renewed till 2026. I love that the club has done that. Now he doesn't need to worry about his contract situation and can concentrate on recovering. We saw plenty last night of why his loss is a big deal. He's not been as good with the ball this season for sure, but man those interventions he has a habit of making save so many goals. Players like him are the difference in winning titles or not. Have a look at sofascore for heatmaps - their colouring shows a bit better Jude's touches away from the left space. Vini showing he can play through the middle. kiki needs to get fit, and get his form and confidence back. Maybe that would be helped by giving him the wing for a bit.
Very good points. Very much agree. I am also surprised that Kylian and Vini aren't swapping positions during the match. I think they would both benefit from it.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Yeah, I'm not so much a fan of interchanging during the match. I prefer them to be in one position to get better at it, rather than disrupting the repetition. I think we saw a good example of why when Cama had to play left back. He had been great in the middle, then had to play defence, then went back to the middle and his form dropped. It looked to me like it disrupted his progress.
As a connoisseur of muscle physiology and exercise I can tell you that it's not the matches that are the problem but the combination of matches and training.When a period full of matches comes, it would be preferable for training to be left in second place and as little as possible.
Funny you should say that as vini and rodrygo statistically does the most pressing for madrid even more than bellingham stop trying to pick on vini it will always backfire
@@JuniorSmith-truthseeker I totally understand you, and I am also the one who is always on the Vini’s side. Yeap, however, it is the influence that Jude and Fede have while both running wild from box to box. Have nothing against the Vini or Kylian, but currently, it is a little bit overwhelming since it still needs time. Also, I have still under the impression from the match vs Lille when Jude was pressing only fro Vini and Mbappe not to run for the ball
I actually think Vini works very hard, even in defensive duties. Mbappe does so a lot less, although he started to track back a little during the Villarreal match.
@@TheGlobalMadridista I totally agree, however, in this case, it will be hard to play with Vini+Mbappe+Rodrygo upfront due to imbalance with our midfield. We should stick with 4 midfielders and our two strikers pressing as well. Thus, imho, Kylian should at least try to press on the same level as Vini JR.
Hello my brother. We were playing narrow 4-2-2-2 with Vini pinned to the left sideline and Mbappe more or lesser through the middle. Modric was occupying RM spot . Since the formation was so narrow and primarily left side dominant, poor Carva was made to run up and down the right flank the entire first half . I swear I was of an opinion that it was too much to ask from a 32 year old RB
P.s this is our 4th ACL injury in 8 months. I'm not a physiotherapist or sports scientist but I'm a medical doctor and something is very wrong either with the fast twitch muscular exercises or post match recovery routine
But it seems to be affecting many clubs. Like you say, fatigue has a lot to do with it. And you're right, if you include Joan Martinez, it's 4 ACLs, not 3. Also, Dani's injury is not just ACL, it is a triple break. He basically shattered his entire knee. Horrible. Wishing him the best.
@TheGlobalMadridista May God give him strength and patience. That looked horrible . Just heard the news we will be searching for left foot CB in January market When it comes to Tchoumeni, he is not comfortable when his back is against the opponents goal .
I don't blame Jude for participating less in attack. As Vini was pinned to the left , mbappe was practically playing as number 9, and boy o boy he looked so uncomfortable there . Whenever Jude progressed with the ball, all he had to do was pass to vini on the left
Congrats for the realistic tone of the channel. I'm not a pessimist myself, but hated all the drumbeating at the end of last season. We sounded like Farsa's Appetizer Launcher. Our situation can be summed up in a school report: "Progresses Adequately. Good, but can do much better in future".¡Hala Madrid!
we still have some issues in the midfield but at least for the first time last night we could keep the ball tnx for camavinga and the 4-4-2, also vini mbappe lack of chemistry hurting the attack a little bit they should switch more .
I understand the critic there is to much matches, i can agree with that. But i think all the clubs should rotate more. Find a system, give players short vacations. Instead of waiting for a change for the game schedule. Teams should adapt. To many get injured and ACL injury to common now. As we can see this has not changed uefas approach and i'm sure it will never change. So teams in europe should rotate more.
I think vs Barcelona Lucas vazquez can play, but against bayern or city we will need Militão as RB, we had a hard time on that side with alphonso davies and Doku last season
If not Kylian is a star player I wish he should start from the bench when Carlo plays 4-4-2. Also vini does much better at the center but he doesn't want to give way to kylian at the left wing, it's worrying
thats exactly how i see it too. Vini should come through the center as he did time to time last season so Kylian can play on the left wing and rodrygo on the right.
Three things 100% we have change the way we play from Kylian Mbappé‘s arrival. Tchouameni needs to be sold or convert as a center back. All love Dani I pray for you to have a healthy and speedy recovery. You will be missed Do you need to get a right back in the winter transfer window?
The team needed this win to improve their confidence, but still, we need a lot of improvements. I feel many players want to show off instead of contributing to the team. Mbappe's performance is still mid
I do hope that Alaba and Ceballos return soon. I'm very certain that the team will really benefit when you add back their experience. In the meantime, I also believe that, Real should increase their intensity in the first hour of the game, try to settle it at 2 or 3 goals up. After that, maybe just maybe, try out some of the young ones from Castilla. Who knows we may unearth a gem or two. Your thoughts, brother?
It's true we need to score more in the early stages of the match. But we have a more serious problem in the back. We started the season missing at least one more CB. And the injuries have now exposed this lack of planning. We need to buy another defender come hell or high water. Because Alaba won't be back until 2025 and we don't know what shape he will be in. This is a messy situation, I'm afraid.
@@Max692010 we have already brought in Jacobo as CB from Castilla. He has been on the bench recently. We are also waiting for Joan Martinez to recover from his ACL injury. But that will take a while. Beyond those two I don’t think any others are good enough for the first team. I really think we need to go shopping in the winter transfer window.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Thanks brother. Let's hope our beloved Madrid recovers from these setbacks soon. Cheers Madridistas and now and always Hala Madrid!
These ACL injuries are terrible... had one myself 1 year ago. A lot of work needed to recover. But he's a pro and he'll be back. That's just sports, our bodies are just not created to function in certain extreme positions. On Tchouameni, like I've said before, I don't see the quality to play for RM. Camavinga recovers balls and brings the ball out better. Makelele reincarnated 😅 On Mbappe, you said it. Hes basically wasted at the tip of the spear with no space. You're not mean at all, you're just calling it as it is. The only option is for him and vini to switch positions more often, but we have to accept that that might just not happen.. I did think and still do think that these 2 can play together, they have so much quality, but there have been cases in the past where 2 greats couldn't coexist on the field. Vini , I agree on all points. From Benz " don't pass to him" to this version, great improvement. Right on point with this stupid governing body of fifa. Now, to be honest, im just going to say it. I really don't see us winning much this season . I just hate to see barca winning anything 😅
I agree with every word brother. This year looks like a write off. Unless we can produce another epic miracle, which is always possible when you wear this shirt. Also agree that Kylian and Vini need to switch more during the course of play.
3 at the back might be the solution with mbappe on the bench if rodrygo is not working mbappe could come in for him a back 3 of mendy rudiger militao could work with 5 in the middle valverde and camavinga holding the width so they can cover the rb and lb positions tchou bellingham and arda in midfiled with vini rodrygo/mbappe up top that could work with the availbale personnel
It seems our general play lacks the spark, lacks the soul which I am so used to seeing. It seems all players are under-performing (Valverde being an exception). I am not able to understand why we seem like a shadow of last season. I understand no Kroos. But when all players are under-performing, it seems to be a tactical/coaching issue and that's where I am forced to question Ancelotti. Praying for lots of improvement post the international break, because we need it now, more than ever. 🙏 Hala Madrid!
Really sad for Carvajal. Looks like an ACL, lateral collateral ligament and Popliteus tendon. Three major tendons and ligaments. He’s out for at least 1 year. A major blow! 😢
Vini has improved his many skills. His crosses, and long shots. He plays also more collectively. Im sorry but Mbappe and Rodrygo are still same. They have not improved themself since 2-3 years. I am still very angry at that. Why did we signed Mbappe? I think Vini and Mbappe same kind of players and Vini is better. Anyway. It is too late to discuss. We still need RB and CB. If I were in Ancelotti's shoes I would do it so. Militao Tchoumeni Rudiger Mendy Valverde Bellingham Camavinga Arda Endrick Vini This team would be more creative. And of course more team play and ball control. But it is not easy to send Mbappe and Rodrigo on the bench for Ancelotti. Anyway, this year will not be easy for us but as always Hala Madrid!
Kylian is a great player but there is no denying he is struggling to fit in. This is a quagmire. Because it is hard to imagine Carlo leaving him on the bench. Rodrygo looks like the sacrificial lamb in this equation.
Carlo, Perez and board has take some blame for those injuries....we are playing more match than any other team with very thin squad in some area and overcrowded some other place...playing players out off position,, demanding too much from individual rather than playing team with basic shape or structure...
I think the Davies thing will happen FOR SURE this summer. But it won't fix our Right Back problems. We will need to find someone else. But not sure who.
I’m not a expert But it’s a puzzle missing Carlo have to find that puzzle we have so many talent in the midfield but we don’t have someone who willing to dictate the play, the injury on Dani is heartbroken
I don’t know if is a coaching problem. But why can’t he just play mbappe left wing and vini center. You can clearly see mbappe is struggling. How did vini end up playing through the center when rodrygo came in. Is it vini not wanting mbappe on the left wing or is it the coach.
I think the answer would be to have them switch during the game. It would make each of them more dangerous, I think if they switch back and forth throughout the match. And yes, this is Carlo's issue. He needs to give them instructions to switch.
Mbappe did play on the left he's just out of form and again if mbappe can't make it as cf he really has no future at madrid left wing is vini's simple as that.
It is difficult for our players to impress you. We all know why mbappe struggles bcos of a certain vini who owns the left wing where mbappe likes. Mbappe needs to adapt or change with vini in a game when playing together.
Yes, they need to switch more during the course of play. As form players impressing me, you're right. I tend to be quite critical. But this is the culture of the club, I'm afraid. We are very self critical. But I believe that is what breads excellence.
I don't know why people think mbappe could have done something in a team that's not even playing the standard professional football. Carlo ancelotti is messing up this team. What is mbappe going to do with random long balls coming from the defenders. No build ups, no link ups. Nothing, just defenders desperately shooting the ball up into the sky so that one of them could end up landing on mbappe's or vini's foot. Real madrid plays a beach soccer and then mbappe takes the blame.
@@TheGlobalMadridista I swear, you can torture someone just by making him watch Real madrid this season. I mean, not even clubs from second class north American leagues play this cheesy.
Oh, and another mention to the referee last night. He did a great job in keeping Femenia on the pitch when he should have walked, and any Real Madrid player would have received a yellow for the same protests that Baena made.
So true. I didn't mention it. But there is a video you can see where the ref is running with his hand in his back pocket to get the yellow card, but then he realizes who made the foul and decides not to give it. Because he knew the player was on a yellow card. Typical BS we have to put up with week after week.
That's a bit harsh. I think the team needs to adapt. It's true that we didn't need him. But he is a great player. We just need to figure out how to fit the pieces, I think.
@@abody499no runs, the game was slow the attackers weren’t dangerous. 11 shots ,ONLY 2 shots on target 2 corners while the opponent had 5 corners and also 12 Shots Is that Real Madrid standard ? So you call that a change ?
I am watching Alaves vs Barca, and my thought since the season started am afraid is being confirmed. Teams don't play against other teams the way they do against Real Madrid. I 1st noticed this last season when Barca played Atletico at metropolitano, funny and ridiculous as it may sound, I just think it is the truth. Just look at how Alaves is playing Barca now. Don't get me wrong, Real Madrid is very bad now and prolly Barca is playing better than they did last year, but the intensity teams play Barca is no way near how to approach Real Madrid's game. I hope my thoughts are wrong though. That said, here comes the begging question. Why did Perez refuse to reinforce other areas of the squad? Relying on Lucas Vazquez to deputize for calvarja when he's unavailable was and is a huge mistake. Perez has been too arrogant to strengthen the defense line, apart from Militao, the other back line is old. Didn't sign a cover for RB, CB, nor the LB. We're suffering in the middle of the pack because, none of the midfielders are ball players like Isco was. A midfielder who can dribble in tight space and still find a killer pass. CR7 succeeded because he had young Modric, Kroos, Isco, and of course the unforgettable, unbelievable, selfless, and intelligent Karim Benzeman. None of these that Kylian Mbappe has. So he was doomed to struggle, plus he's playing and trying to play as a 9. The season might be over, especially with calvarja's injury. Hala Madrid!!!
Yes, I think you are right. I have discussed this in previous videos. We bought talent because we always want the best. But it was not designed very intelligently. The squad does not have balance.
When a player wear the Real Madrid shirt they playing there heart and soul on that field I love my team , sorry Dani 😢hope you get well soon , I love those guys who put out 110% in our game . HALA MADRID no excuse for mbappe how vini know how to shoot the ball that all mbappe need to do shoot the them ball … he is taking too long the more time mbappe take on the ball the quicker he is close down honestly I think mbappe need to learn from vini how to put the ball in the net when we need it the most . So no excuses from me for mbappe
@@TheGlobalMadridista I agree to some level that he is not comfortable playing in the 9 position but his overall has diminished. He played better at PSG in the 9 position
I get its not his natural position but Mbappe was absolutely horrible yesterday. We are in October. It should not be this difficult to get acclimated to a new position. He did not have a great day. He doesnt play any type of defense. Show some passion, move around. Get engaged. Thats what we need him to do. I’m getting very tired of him going 1v1 w the keeper, and losing. Its very embarrassing. Kylian deserves the brunt of the blame. Because if its this difficult to switch positions then how great really is he?
Camavinga back is a big positive. Every time he plays he reminds me that he’s the best tackler in the world. His dribbling is amazing too. Que jugador
I agree. I have always had a soft spot for Cama. I think he is an exceptional, multi-talented player.
@@TheGlobalMadridistareal baller our most talented mid for sure
I’ve been watching Vini since he arrived at Madrid and I said the day he learns how to score, he will be the best in the world.
You nailed it. Because he is. Grande Vini !
It's taken too much time for him to do so, what does he do in training or after training to practice more finishing?? Cause he has to asap!
Vini has already won the ballon d'or and it's time for him to help the team by playing more at the center
Agreed
I’m partial to Bellingham winning it
So mbappe can play left 🤔 instead of asking for mbappe to be sold and real madrid to get a cf you want vini to leave his position for mbappe 🤨
Carvajal is in the heart of everyone. One of us we loves him
We love our Dani !
Happy for the win
Great goals by Vini and Fede
Rodrygo needs more respect. It was great seeing Camavinga again
That Carvahal injury has to be one of the nastiest I have ever seen

Great video as always. Really sad to see Carvajal last night when he got injured. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery and I agree we will need the defence to be reinforced in the winter.
The crucial ligaments injuries to all players is very worrying and definitely related to the amount of football they are all playing. Hopefully this is acknowledged by rule makers sooner rather than later.
From your lips to God's ears, Doc. These players are being pushed to the brink. UEFA and FIFA are destroying football.
I do agree with the underdog silver lining. Hard to quantify and explain how this works to people who don’t understand. All we need is for the rest of the lads start playing with Carva’s intensity and fighting spirit and we will be up there once more.
Well said Alex. Un placer conoceros. Fuerte abrazo champ.
100%. It's always made me nervous when the media start talking them up like they are unstoppable.
I think we should try Vini center and Mbappe on the right. Vini at this point in his career just might have more plasticity and prove more effective in the role than Mbappe.
As a long-time Valverde fan, I am thrilled with his performance as of late and am looking forward to more!
Jude has very visibly been showing increasing frustration in the past few games. I admire that he is willing to play any role to help the team, but I when I think of Jude, I think of all the sacrifices that are being made to accommodate all of the star power in the team. At the end of the day, we are playing a patience game and the adjustments that are necessary for a team of this magnitude to be great requires patience. I just wonder what the individual effects will be the longer this drags on.
These days I wonder more and more about Arda. Is Ancelotti trying to protect his confidence? Why does he not play more? There has to be a reason beyond our stacked roster. Still, I hope to see much more of him soon. We need to see him start and go close to the 90
Jude carries a lot of Mbappe and some of Vinnis work load, he’s not to blame for being frustrated. He runs box to box along with Valverde all game just for Mbappe to try a silly shot or lazy pass and lose the ball.
Very well said. It's hard to know what happens in practice and behind closed doors. But I agree Arda should be playing more. And I think you are totally right about the Jude frustration. It is palpable.
I'm glad Fede read my comments after the Lille match and took it upon himself to be the man to make those diagonal switches ;) Fede and Cama together has to continue. For me that was the best thing about the match. Tchouameni shouldn't be near the midfield again.
Carva has just renewed till 2026. I love that the club has done that. Now he doesn't need to worry about his contract situation and can concentrate on recovering. We saw plenty last night of why his loss is a big deal. He's not been as good with the ball this season for sure, but man those interventions he has a habit of making save so many goals. Players like him are the difference in winning titles or not.
Have a look at sofascore for heatmaps - their colouring shows a bit better Jude's touches away from the left space.
Vini showing he can play through the middle. kiki needs to get fit, and get his form and confidence back. Maybe that would be helped by giving him the wing for a bit.
Very good points. Very much agree. I am also surprised that Kylian and Vini aren't swapping positions during the match. I think they would both benefit from it.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Yeah, I'm not so much a fan of interchanging during the match. I prefer them to be in one position to get better at it, rather than disrupting the repetition. I think we saw a good example of why when Cama had to play left back. He had been great in the middle, then had to play defence, then went back to the middle and his form dropped. It looked to me like it disrupted his progress.
Hala madrid sad for dani but we always find a way
Well said !
I am heart broken by yet again another ACL injury, mucha fuerza capi! We love you! ❤
Well said
As a connoisseur of muscle physiology and exercise I can tell you that it's not the matches that are the problem but the combination of matches and training.When a period full of matches comes, it would be preferable for training to be left in second place and as little as possible.
Good point. Thanks Dany.
We should all agree that Bellingham and Valverde are busting their 🎉 for the team, while Vini and Mbappe are jogging 😢
Funny you should say that as vini and rodrygo statistically does the most pressing for madrid even more than bellingham stop trying to pick on vini it will always backfire
@@JuniorSmith-truthseeker I totally understand you, and I am also the one who is always on the Vini’s side. Yeap, however, it is the influence that Jude and Fede have while both running wild from box to box. Have nothing against the Vini or Kylian, but currently, it is a little bit overwhelming since it still needs time. Also, I have still under the impression from the match vs Lille when Jude was pressing only fro Vini and Mbappe not to run for the ball
I actually think Vini works very hard, even in defensive duties. Mbappe does so a lot less, although he started to track back a little during the Villarreal match.
@@TheGlobalMadridista I totally agree, however, in this case, it will be hard to play with Vini+Mbappe+Rodrygo upfront due to imbalance with our midfield. We should stick with 4 midfielders and our two strikers pressing as well. Thus, imho, Kylian should at least try to press on the same level as Vini JR.
Prayers for Carvajal, and i wish he recovers well and soon.
He is a bull and i know he will get well soon.
Hala Madrid.
Indeed. Hala Madrid !!!
Hello my brother.
We were playing narrow 4-2-2-2 with Vini pinned to the left sideline and Mbappe more or lesser through the middle.
Modric was occupying RM spot . Since the formation was so narrow and primarily left side dominant, poor Carva was made to run up and down the right flank the entire first half . I swear I was of an opinion that it was too much to ask from a 32 year old RB
The ACL Injury which he sustained may appear as an impact injury but it has alot to do with fatigue .
P.s this is our 4th ACL injury in 8 months. I'm not a physiotherapist or sports scientist but I'm a medical doctor and something is very wrong either with the fast twitch muscular exercises or post match recovery routine
But it seems to be affecting many clubs. Like you say, fatigue has a lot to do with it. And you're right, if you include Joan Martinez, it's 4 ACLs, not 3. Also, Dani's injury is not just ACL, it is a triple break. He basically shattered his entire knee. Horrible. Wishing him the best.
@TheGlobalMadridista May God give him strength and patience. That looked horrible . Just heard the news we will be searching for left foot CB in January market
When it comes to Tchoumeni, he is not comfortable when his back is against the opponents goal .
I don't blame Jude for participating less in attack. As Vini was pinned to the left , mbappe was practically playing as number 9, and boy o boy he looked so uncomfortable there . Whenever Jude progressed with the ball, all he had to do was pass to vini on the left
Congrats for the realistic tone of the channel. I'm not a pessimist myself, but hated all the drumbeating at the end of last season. We sounded like Farsa's Appetizer Launcher. Our situation can be summed up in a school report: "Progresses Adequately. Good, but can do much better in future".¡Hala Madrid!
Haha. Very well put !
cant catch a break get well soon carvalhal
I know. It's insane.
Came will be back because he's not alone. He's our Cabtain
Carvajal is our heart ❤and will be back stronger
Yes, it is very unfortunate and frustrating to see Dani going through this and it is definitely related with the tight schedule.
The picture of his leg bending the wrong way made my stomach turn. Poor guy. We wish him a good recovery. But this was brutal.
There is no better training than the match itself. I think it is the fault of the staff who do not manage properly
we still have some issues in the midfield but at least for the first time last night we could keep the ball tnx for camavinga and the 4-4-2, also vini mbappe lack of chemistry hurting the attack a little bit they should switch more .
I totally agree. They need to switch more.. like we used to do with Karim.
I understand the critic there is to much matches, i can agree with that. But i think all the clubs should rotate more. Find a system, give players short vacations. Instead of waiting for a change for the game schedule. Teams should adapt. To many get injured and ACL injury to common now. As we can see this has not changed uefas approach and i'm sure it will never change. So teams in europe should rotate more.
Fair enough, but I still think UEFA and FIFA are pushing too far. It's not good for anyone, except themselves.
I have a recommendation that it will be great if you make a documentary for Carvajal 🎉
That's a great idea. Will see if I can find the time :) Thanks for the idea.
I think vs Barcelona Lucas vazquez can play, but against bayern or city we will need Militão as RB, we had a hard time on that side with alphonso davies and Doku last season
Yes, we need to find a solution for RB. LV has done well, but he will struggle against the big, physical teams.
And especially strength training, there shouldn't even be one per week at most
If not Kylian is a star player I wish he should start from the bench when Carlo plays 4-4-2.
Also vini does much better at the center but he doesn't want to give way to kylian at the left wing, it's worrying
I am also surprised that Kylian and Vini don't switch more... It would make them more dangerous.
thats exactly how i see it too. Vini should come through the center as he did time to time last season so Kylian can play on the left wing and rodrygo on the right.
Vini does much better as a winger. Kylian can do what Vini does on that wing let’s be honest. He’s the one who has to adapt play more centrally
@@brendamabou hmmm
Verdi needs rest to be at his 100% best as usual, to me right now he isn't because of the lack of it.
If Tchouameni isnt careful,he really might get replaced
I think he will spend a lot of time at CB this season !
i am convinced we will get at least 2 players in winter window
I certainly hope so !
Madrid need Ramos
He was a legend. We could certainly use him now !
Three things
100% we have change the way we play from Kylian Mbappé‘s arrival.
Tchouameni needs to be sold or convert as a center back. All love
Dani I pray for you to have a healthy and speedy recovery. You will be missed
Do you need to get a right back in the winter transfer window?
Totally agree with you on the first three points. And YES, we need another defender (RB) in the transfer window.
The team needed this win to improve their confidence, but still, we need a lot of improvements. I feel many players want to show off instead of contributing to the team. Mbappe's performance is still mid
I agree. Fortunately it's still early in the season. But we have many many challenges.
Man it's like every game we are more wishing for no injury. The team is already struggling in tempo and tactics, injuries just makes everything worse
Indeed. Let's hope this international break doesn't bring us any more injuries.
I do hope that Alaba and Ceballos return soon. I'm very certain that the team will really benefit when you add back their experience. In the meantime, I also believe that, Real should increase their intensity in the first hour of the game, try to settle it at 2 or 3 goals up. After that, maybe just maybe, try out some of the young ones from Castilla. Who knows we may unearth a gem or two. Your thoughts, brother?
It's true we need to score more in the early stages of the match. But we have a more serious problem in the back. We started the season missing at least one more CB. And the injuries have now exposed this lack of planning. We need to buy another defender come hell or high water. Because Alaba won't be back until 2025 and we don't know what shape he will be in. This is a messy situation, I'm afraid.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Are there any Castilla CBs and RBs that can be used as backups?
@@Max692010 we have already brought in Jacobo as CB from Castilla. He has been on the bench recently. We are also waiting for Joan Martinez to recover from his ACL injury. But that will take a while. Beyond those two I don’t think any others are good enough for the first team. I really think we need to go shopping in the winter transfer window.
@@TheGlobalMadridista Thanks brother. Let's hope our beloved Madrid recovers from these setbacks soon. Cheers Madridistas and now and always Hala Madrid!
@@Max692010 Hala Madrid my brother!!!
These ACL injuries are terrible... had one myself 1 year ago.
A lot of work needed to recover.
But he's a pro and he'll be back.
That's just sports, our bodies are just not created to function in certain extreme positions.
On Tchouameni, like I've said before, I don't see the quality to play for RM.
Camavinga recovers balls and brings the ball out better.
Makelele reincarnated 😅
On Mbappe, you said it.
Hes basically wasted at the tip of the spear with no space.
You're not mean at all, you're just calling it as it is.
The only option is for him and vini to switch positions more often, but we have to accept that that might just not happen.. I did think and still do think that these 2 can play together, they have so much quality, but there have been cases in the past where 2 greats couldn't coexist on the field.
Vini , I agree on all points.
From Benz " don't pass to him" to this version, great improvement.
Right on point with this stupid governing body of fifa.
Now, to be honest, im just going to say it.
I really don't see us winning much this season .
I just hate to see barca winning anything 😅
I agree with every word brother. This year looks like a write off. Unless we can produce another epic miracle, which is always possible when you wear this shirt. Also agree that Kylian and Vini need to switch more during the course of play.
3 at the back might be the solution with mbappe on the bench if rodrygo is not working mbappe could come in for him a back 3 of mendy rudiger militao could work with 5 in the middle valverde and camavinga holding the width so they can cover the rb and lb positions tchou bellingham and arda in midfiled with vini rodrygo/mbappe up top that could work with the availbale personnel
That is certainly worth a try.
It seems our general play lacks the spark, lacks the soul which I am so used to seeing. It seems all players are under-performing (Valverde being an exception). I am not able to understand why we seem like a shadow of last season. I understand no Kroos. But when all players are under-performing, it seems to be a tactical/coaching issue and that's where I am forced to question Ancelotti. Praying for lots of improvement post the international break, because we need it now, more than ever. 🙏 Hala Madrid!
Very well said. Couldn't agree more.
Really sad for Carvajal. Looks like an ACL, lateral collateral ligament and Popliteus tendon. Three major tendons and ligaments. He’s out for at least 1 year. A major blow! 😢
Yeah, the triple whammy. Poor Dani. I feel awful for him.
Vini has improved his many skills. His crosses, and long shots. He plays also more collectively. Im sorry but Mbappe and Rodrygo are still same. They have not improved themself since 2-3 years.
I am still very angry at that. Why did we signed Mbappe? I think Vini and Mbappe same kind of players and Vini is better. Anyway. It is too late to discuss. We still need RB and CB.
If I were in Ancelotti's shoes I would do it so.
Militao Tchoumeni Rudiger Mendy
Valverde Bellingham Camavinga
Arda Endrick Vini
This team would be more creative. And of course more team play and ball control.
But it is not easy to send Mbappe and Rodrigo on the bench for Ancelotti.
Anyway, this year will not be easy for us but as always Hala Madrid!
Kylian is a great player but there is no denying he is struggling to fit in. This is a quagmire. Because it is hard to imagine Carlo leaving him on the bench. Rodrygo looks like the sacrificial lamb in this equation.
Carlo, Perez and board has take some blame for those injuries....we are playing more match than any other team with very thin squad in some area and overcrowded some other place...playing players out off position,, demanding too much from individual rather than playing team with basic shape or structure...
Totally agree
I wonder if this means we move for Davies in the winter transfer window?
I think the Davies thing will happen FOR SURE this summer. But it won't fix our Right Back problems. We will need to find someone else. But not sure who.
Can you imagine Tchouameni as CB and Fede as RB long term?
I think Fede would be wasted in a RB roll. We need to find another solution. As for Tchouameni in CB, this I think is more likely.
I think Militao will probably start at rb in big games
Animo Dani...sigh. In a very important and high performing period of your career.
He is already a legend. We will miss him terribly.
@@TheGlobalMadridista terribly
I’m not a expert But it’s a puzzle missing Carlo have to find that puzzle we have so many talent in the midfield but we don’t have someone who willing to dictate the play, the injury on Dani is heartbroken
Agreed, my friend. The team will hopefully continue to improve. And as for Dani, it truly is heart breaking.
We need to sign Tiago Santos in January to replace carvajal
Yes, we will need to do something, for sure !!
Ancelloti iş destroying Arda
Arda needs more playing time, I agree.
352 formation could solve that atleast short term
I don’t know if is a coaching problem. But why can’t he just play mbappe left wing and vini center. You can clearly see mbappe is struggling. How did vini end up playing through the center when rodrygo came in.
Is it vini not wanting mbappe on the left wing or is it the coach.
I think the answer would be to have them switch during the game. It would make each of them more dangerous, I think if they switch back and forth throughout the match. And yes, this is Carlo's issue. He needs to give them instructions to switch.
Mbappe did play on the left he's just out of form and again if mbappe can't make it as cf he really has no future at madrid left wing is vini's simple as that.
Can we please play 3-4-3 even for 1 game please
you got your wish last night !!! Just putting up video now.
People always ask for guler to play 🥲but to me he is not him😅glad to see cama bk he is soooooo gd idky how tchnomeni starts infront of him
Very much agree with you
You run such a great channel. All videos super on point.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. Thanks for the support.
If you don't rotate your players they will be injured.
Exactly
It is difficult for our players to impress you. We all know why mbappe struggles bcos of a certain vini who owns the left wing where mbappe likes. Mbappe needs to adapt or change with vini in a game when playing together.
Yes, they need to switch more during the course of play. As form players impressing me, you're right. I tend to be quite critical. But this is the culture of the club, I'm afraid. We are very self critical. But I believe that is what breads excellence.
I don't know why people think mbappe could have done something in a team that's not even playing the standard professional football. Carlo ancelotti is messing up this team. What is mbappe going to do with random long balls coming from the defenders. No build ups, no link ups. Nothing, just defenders desperately shooting the ball up into the sky so that one of them could end up landing on mbappe's or vini's foot. Real madrid plays a beach soccer and then mbappe takes the blame.
You are not wrong, my friend.
@@TheGlobalMadridista I swear, you can torture someone just by making him watch Real madrid this season. I mean, not even clubs from second class north American leagues play this cheesy.
😢
Oh, and another mention to the referee last night. He did a great job in keeping Femenia on the pitch when he should have walked, and any Real Madrid player would have received a yellow for the same protests that Baena made.
So true. I didn't mention it. But there is a video you can see where the ref is running with his hand in his back pocket to get the yellow card, but then he realizes who made the foul and decides not to give it. Because he knew the player was on a yellow card. Typical BS we have to put up with week after week.
Mbappe walks way too much.
Yes, he needs to back track more and help in defensive duties.
I wish we didn’t bought mbappe
Mbappe wasnt the reason the 2 games before this the team is awful overall
That's a bit harsh. I think the team needs to adapt. It's true that we didn't need him. But he is a great player. We just need to figure out how to fit the pieces, I think.
@Marrab2 this team is ucl and la liga winner without mbappe he should be sold and a cf brought in along with a cb and rb
Our season is over. we won 2-0 but the performance was awful as it was before nothing changed. Wish Dani speed recovery
"nothing changed"
I think we watched different sports last night.
The Dani thing changes a lot. As for season being over, I totally disagree. This is Real Madrid. Anything is possible.
@@abody499no runs, the game was slow the attackers weren’t dangerous. 11 shots ,ONLY 2 shots on target 2 corners while the opponent had 5 corners and also 12 Shots
Is that Real Madrid standard ? So you call that a change ?
if u want me to engage don't move the goalposts
@@abody499 don’t bother
I am watching Alaves vs Barca, and my thought since the season started am afraid is being confirmed. Teams don't play against other teams the way they do against Real Madrid. I 1st noticed this last season when Barca played Atletico at metropolitano, funny and ridiculous as it may sound, I just think it is the truth. Just look at how Alaves is playing Barca now. Don't get me wrong, Real Madrid is very bad now and prolly Barca is playing better than they did last year, but the intensity teams play Barca is no way near how to approach Real Madrid's game. I hope my thoughts are wrong though.
That said, here comes the begging question. Why did Perez refuse to reinforce other areas of the squad? Relying on Lucas Vazquez to deputize for calvarja when he's unavailable was and is a huge mistake. Perez has been too arrogant to strengthen the defense line, apart from Militao, the other back line is old. Didn't sign a cover for RB, CB, nor the LB. We're suffering in the middle of the pack because, none of the midfielders are ball players like Isco was. A midfielder who can dribble in tight space and still find a killer pass. CR7 succeeded because he had young Modric, Kroos, Isco, and of course the unforgettable, unbelievable, selfless, and intelligent Karim Benzeman. None of these that Kylian Mbappe has. So he was doomed to struggle, plus he's playing and trying to play as a 9.
The season might be over, especially with calvarja's injury.
Hala Madrid!!!
Yes, I think you are right. I have discussed this in previous videos. We bought talent because we always want the best. But it was not designed very intelligently. The squad does not have balance.
I forgot Mbappe played at all,feels like wasted talent.
He is definitely not himself. Let's hope things turn around. This is hard to watch.
When a player wear the Real Madrid shirt they playing there heart and soul on that field I love my team , sorry Dani 😢hope you get well soon , I love those guys who put out 110% in our game . HALA MADRID no excuse for mbappe how vini know how to shoot the ball that all mbappe need to do shoot the them ball … he is taking too long the more time mbappe take on the ball the quicker he is close down honestly I think mbappe need to learn from vini how to put the ball in the net when we need it the most . So no excuses from me for mbappe
Thanks amigo. I trust they will improve. Kylian and the team still adapting. But I am hopeful.
@@TheGlobalMadridista🙏🏽
Mbappe smells fishy. he forgot how to play football.
Poor first touch
cant dribble
cant make a good pass
He is clearly uncomfortable in the 9 position. They need to switch more during the course of play.
@@TheGlobalMadridista I agree to some level that he is not comfortable playing in the 9 position but his overall has diminished. He played better at PSG in the 9 position
8:53 until he gets injured, then you'll realise that playing him so much is huge mistake
8:53? But yes, he was playing too many minutes. In very strenuous position (RB takes a lot)
Vini? The best in the world?? 😂😂
Not even the best brasilian in the league
Who is better ?
I get its not his natural position but Mbappe was absolutely horrible yesterday. We are in October. It should not be this difficult to get acclimated to a new position. He did not have a great day. He doesnt play any type of defense. Show some passion, move around. Get engaged. Thats what we need him to do. I’m getting very tired of him going 1v1 w the keeper, and losing. Its very embarrassing. Kylian deserves the brunt of the blame. Because if its this difficult to switch positions then how great really is he?
You are not wrong. I don't want to be too harsh on him but I can't say that you are wrong. He hasn't been playing up to his standard, at all.
