Real Madrid has shown more than enough that it attacks better with the 4-2-3-1 and has to take risks against the Catalans
If this Sunday against Real Valladolid was a test, ancelotti you must be happy. Despite a bad start, the team has proven this once again with the 4-2-3-1 He is able to create many more chances and also that he is more effective in front of goal. Against Barcelona it must be an obligation to play like this.
It will be necessary to see who is the one who comes forward and who is the victim, but in a tie you have now lost and against a team you have been beaten against in the last three games giving bad feelings with the 4-3-3more than names, the key is to present another alternative.
But yes, of course we have to talk about names. Here, Rodrygo goes He is the heavy favorite to take a spot in the eleven. His season has been great and the lack of goals in this start to 2023 can only be blamed on him. At the level of play, he has shown that he is at an excellent level and in a team that lacks creativity in the three-quarter zone. , doing without Rodrygo is too much. It is a gift to the opponent.
The expectation was that he would make a quality leap this season that is comparable to that of Vinicius last season and which he has delivered. Eleven goals and ten assists means he has participated in a total of 21 Real Madrid goals this season. A sensational figure surpassed only by Vinicius, but the best of Rodrygo is known to the Madrid fan, as the numbers and stats don’t say the best about the player, who plays at an extraordinary level.
Every time the team played with Santos’ ex partnering Benzema and Vinicius, the team was much more dangerous. Especially if Fede Valverde is also there or even Marco Asensio. This Sunday, the Spaniard, together with Rodrygo, was the one who best understood what the team had to do with spaces. If Ancelotti decides to bet on this variant, Asensio could be the other player to consider, although he starts with fewer options than the carioca.
The big question would be who could be the victim. Here is the main favourite Tony Cross. The German played ninety minutes this Sunday, while Modric and Valverde did not play a minute and seem to have secured a place in the eleven. And almost certainly Camavinga or Tchouaméni will also play a pivotal role. If the transalpine bet on Rodrygo and Camavinga, it would be the same team that attacked Anfield (2-5). Since then, the six have not started together in any game. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to try again.
