Negative points for Chabi Alonsu

Arnold scored!

He played a world-class first half against Marseille, but the game ended in a draw due to missed opportunities!

Carvajal, the team captain, was sent off and the team was tied!

However, they managed to win in the end and get 3 points despite being a man down!

We can talk a lot about the second penalty kick.

But Real Madrid created five clear scoring chances today, with an expected goal value of 3.65!

Real Madrid hit the crossbar twice today!

Mastanuno missed a chance with an open goal!

Marseille goalkeeper Rulli made 13 saves!

There are negative points we could talk about, but despite these strange situations, Chabi Alonso deserved his first win with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Alonso must be aware of his weaknesses, which almost cost him points in his first Champions League matches and serve as a wake-up call.

🔹 Arda Güler is unable to produce results on the left wing.

This position is completely uncomfortable for him, and because of it, he lost the ball a lot.

🔹His pressing structure has problems, and this was exposed by the first team with fast build-up patterns and tools, such as Marseille, who beat your lines and called your players to press outside their positions.

🔹Under the ball, Real Madrid is an easy team to lure out of position because of their hunger for quick ball recovery and the fast pace that Alonso wants to impose.

The whole team is rebounding, but their pressure is disorganized and unintelligent.

🔹The duo of Chouameni and Valverde on the pitch is impossible with Guler in the team, unless you cancel the right wing position and open up the line with the right back.

Then you can open up the line with Vinicius on the left and the right back on the right, and in the half-spaces you play with Guler on the right and Bellingham on the left under Valverde and Chouameni.

🔹A conversation with the players is necessary, given the recent spate of red cards.

This is the third game under Alonso’s leadership, with Real playing with a numerical disadvantage after the games against Monterrey and Real Sociedad.

And you have to be honest with some individuals about their level of performance.

🔹Real Madrid’s physical condition is frankly disastrous. The team looks very tired, and of course, their participation in the World Cup has clearly affected more than one player, foremost among them

Valverde, who has turned into an old man in need of at least two weeks of rest to get back in shape, or else he will get injured like Arnold, who started the season physically unprepared.

Sometimes I don’t understand this kind of behavior, especially from a big player.

Carvajal isn’t just a star at Real Madrid… he’s supposed to be the captain and one of the old guard.

Your team is tied and there’s not much time left in this tough match, and your teammate in your position is injured, which means there’s no one else but you.

Why would you do something unnecessary like that with the goalkeeper?

He laughed at you and provoked you, and the referee bought it.

These are strange actions that are unnecessary and have nothing to do with the game or the captaincy, to be honest.
