Well, Real Madrid showed signs of trouble in the first half.

Well, Real Madrid’s first half was a bit of a mess.

Before we talk about the talent.

The first issue is that Real Madrid are facing Juventus, who play with 5 defenders

and are back with their own press, which means you don’t need Goller as Regista

and you need him between the lines to produce from tight spaces and occupy

Vinicius and Gonzalo with intermediate passes,

but Billingham and Valverde between the lines are meaningless and unproductive,

but Billingham and Valverde are not.

The next issue is Arnold, he is alone on the right flank and is isolated a lot when the play

is assembled on the left, but when the play is switched to him,

he can’t play 1vs1 because it’s not his job, it’s Rodrigo’s job, for example.

To use Arnold here, you need to switch the play to him and make early crosses from him with density in the area.

This doesn’t happen, so Arnold gets frustrated and doesn’t have a solution.

Pressing is problematic because Real Madrid is defending with five,

they can’t raise their pressing line because they’ll be outnumbered and the line will break.

Alonso is the pressing reference from the circle and underneath,

so Real Madrid let Juve do what they want with the ball.

The solution is to drop one of Modric or Ceballos,

be Reguesta and Güler between the lines and dispense with Bellingham or Valverde,

that way the field will be more organized.

Finally, Kenan Yildiz is a great talent and a great player.
