After the away draw with Las Palmas, former Real Madrid player Alvaro Benito said the team was a little unfamiliar.
Alvaro Benito pointed out that the new season of La Liga has already been played for three rounds, and it can be said that Real Madrid now feels unfamiliar. The reason why I say unfamiliar is that the most prominent feature of Ancelotti's team last season, and even one of the most important values, is the strong team spirit. However, in these games, we have seen the team perform dull and slow.
The team encountered problems in organizing the offense, the speed of passing the ball was very slow, and the process of connecting the midfield and frontcourt was dragged out, resulting in the forwards rarely getting good opportunities. The forwards also seemed too individualistic, and the cooperation between them was not tacit enough, and the offensive lineup had not shown a good understanding. I still think that the team did not pay enough attention to Mbappe. The French player was very active and frequently responded, but he did not get the pass he deserved, which was inconsistent with his level.
As for the defensive stage, there is no excuse here. Another way to find offensive and counterattack opportunities is to steal, but now Real Madrid has difficulty organizing its formation in any area of the field and cannot effectively steal or prevent the opponent's counterattack. Although this is a worrying start, considering that the season has just begun, the final result is the most important, and Ancelotti still has a lot of work to do.
