These observations, where I review the history of Real Madrid, their loan players, Castilla, tactical details and other related thoughts, have now become the norm.All previous versions can be viewed here.

9 Tactical Observation, including Bellingham and Vinicius' Assassination of Barcelona

Gayundin: Güler, Carreras, Tchouameni, Mastantuono

Welcome to the post-El Clasico edition of my observations column, where we take a closer look at the returns of the world's best midfielders, young ball players, central defenders and more.

1. Alvaro Carreras Consit

I underestimated the impact Alvaro Carreras would have at Real Madrid.After a full dive scouting report on film, data and deep conversations with soccer watchers and people in Portugal, the conclusion I came to was this: He's a solid two-way player.He's not Paolo Maldini in defense and he's not Marcelo in attack, but he's good.Qualified attendance is required for this position.Carreras' two-way ability to join the attack, help escape pressure with good play on the ball - while being solid defensively - is a welcome addition to the team.

Was it wrong?Is he better than a 'good player'?My own analysis of my analysis, now that we've had a chance to see him as a consistent starter, is that I underestimated him.He has made 18 blocks in 10 games in La Liga.

Xabi-ball usually limits the number of times Real Madrid defenders are placed in deep positions against the wings in 1v1 duels.Most of Carreras work is carried.He wins the ball in the opponent's half, and if the press breaks, he goes back and stops with confidence.

But he also proved a decent shield in 1v1 play. It was almost insulting how effortlessly he removed Lamin Yamal in Sunday's Clasico.

Carreras on the ball against Atletico and Juventus.His confidence took a hit after the derby.

But in general he takes good care of the ball and can find an escape valve under pressure.He can lower his arm to cut to his man inside or play the ball down the wing.When players receive him, he gets to the top more often.

Have you ever seen someone look so bored on defense?:

2. Arda Güls pass, movement with moto

It is difficult to refer to Ardagar for anything at this time.He is one of the smartest creators of most of Europe's players and is among the top five leagues for both key passes and passes for them.Through the balls leads to La Liga.It moves vertically, visually and with perfect weight.The KILERIAIN MBAPP you will pass those Guler.Turkey is actively burning, and it seems a little inappropriate to give a sample of the big games he played without appearing in the big games.It was a good game where he was the team's best player in the run against Atlético Madrid (one goal, one assist, strong points).In El Clásico, he made a mistake that led to a goal for Fermin Lopez, but away from home, it was very important for the development of the team.

Gully's other criticisms offered his defense.But the pull of both strategy and aspirational muscle must be carefully balanced by history, succession, fraud and patronage by the mass media.

It's fun to see Güler solve a problem in real time while depressing his surroundings before he acts;

Simple but basic: he pulls another cue from Asensio by telling him to run more, and try to go farther with new times and times.Later in the game, he clears the ball and finds himself in position to shoot.Guler is linked to everything Madrid does in the building phase.

Guiler has met Xabi Alonso so far.With Eduardo Kamessa returning to Bellingham, he will get the help he needs in the middle.

3. At the insistence of Dean Huizen on verticality

Dean Huijsen refuses to make a cross.Everything has to be wired, even in traffic.

Huijsen should have had a license to make those passes.He was elite to them.Real Madrid is in dire need of a midfielder who knows how to play football.As seen above, he can quickly move teammates into good attacking positions by patiently waiting for the right passing lane to open, then shoot without hesitation.

But Huijsen will also need to be careful about his emphasis on these transitions.It is a high risk, high volume vertical pass.The transition – and their environment – ​​can be stunning to watch, but also put the team in very difficult positions.Against Atletico Madrid in September's derby, Huijsen missed these hurdles and Atletico came close to scoring twice.

He has to find that balance.Not every team has Kairat's passing ability up front.Compact, elite teams who understand how to press up the pitch will force you into difficult spots and challenge you to make high-risk passes - but Huijsen found the right pass again and again against Barcelona on Sunday night to escape the pressure.

Huijsen continues to handle pressure well when moving the ball forward.He, like everyone on the team, will need to be cautious when dealing with more aggressive and coordinated attacking teams.

4. Classico, exhibition

Going into Sunday night, I was confused about this desire, partly because Barcelona looked much better than the real madrid.But I understood that some of the concerns were down to: a) the actual record of the Major League Soccer in the past, and b) the mentality of Barcelona holding the real madrid in the last season.

But he knew that he will look uncomfortable against a team that can take advantage of the amazing opportunity that Barcelona left its defensive line. They live and die by Flickball. That means that they always live in high light and in danger of cooking, even if it is the last minute of the game and the decision is to kill themselves. POSG has recently had a search for their well-being. Seville is me.

Last season, they were tested.Flick knows the top line of exposure is enough, but he knows that the defensive backs will help them win 99% of their games.

But perhaps there is more to it now.Other teams that didn't take points from Barca – Levante, Newcastle – gave them hell.Iñigo Martinez is gone.Some of Barcelona's depth is questionable.Can they maintain what they achieved last season?

I wrote these two paragraphs before the game, but they went unpublished:

Led by Guler and Mbappe, the best players in the world, are Real Madrid ready to capitalize on their attack?Will Real Madrid be able to produce a high quality two-way performance from their wingers?Don't overlook the importance of the world's best wing-back duo of Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, to neutralizing Barcelona if Real Madrid starts to punish Barcelona's defense and score more goals.That said, will their own defense be able to prevent them from being taken advantage of?

Finally: PSG's press caused all kinds of problems for Barcelona.Their ability to escape third down diminished once Pedri left the field.BARCA is a team that doesn't like to be beaten.They also want teams to stay, give them the ball and put them in their comfort zone.There is still a lot to learn about this.

I'm glad that Xabi Alonso gets a place against Barcelona.It was the first time all season that you could really see the fruits of labor – the growing pains of a new identity – pay off.Real Madrid made Barcelona more uncomfortable in the first half than they did in four games last season.When the energy faded in the second half and they couldn't sustain the pressure, they made an incredible defensive shift to win the game.

As I always say, Barcelona don't like punches in the mouth.They prefer to let teams sit back and get comfortable with the pass.Everyone has now realized that it is foolish to hold them in such high esteem.Thanks to Alonso.

5. Vinicius Jr.Brings back the fear

Meanwhile, the part of the sermon <Vinny> was the closest we have seen this season.Then Clarkso finally rolled. According to Vinius, Julie de Jing de Jing John Deng John Jong (and anyone who goes are in the suffering room.

To me, 'peak vini' refers to the person who sings the normal steps of a football game.He has fear, tortures his right back, and things that most people only do in video games.

Despite not playing the full 90 in several games this season, Vinicius is again producing "Peak Vinny" numbers, accepting his role while staying active and breaking lines.He leads the Big Five leagues in penalty area carries (53), progressive passes received (128) — a barometer of activity between the ball off the line — and progressive carries (69).

Despite not being the best, the statistical output was there, but Villarreal's games before the international break, and then El Clasico on Sunday, were the games you'd expect from Vinicius 2024: torture at full-back throughout the game so bad, the player wished he'd never signed up to play football.

"Peak Vini" is a complete ceiling changer for this team.

6. Bellingham, Silk strokes

It's safe to say that Real Madrid are still a long way from reaching their ceiling despite being at the top of the table - but they are showing the right signs and ultimately a good sign that this scary looking team is still not at its best.There is a lot of room for improvement at both ends of the pitch.Xabi Alonso hopes the return of Jude Bellingham will solve the problems and raise the bar for the team.

This wish was fulfilled in El Clasico.

The challenges will come down to getting all the pieces to fit.The team is deep in some areas and thin in others.Many of the team's best players overlap.Not everyone can keep their best position.Bellingham and Güler are the best right behind the forwards.

Bellingham is always a very intelligent ball player.He knows how to take a lot of silk touches and be under pressure, but he is also good at bringing the ball up the field with just one touch:

Bellingham doesn't get the ball back, but he knows exactly which zone to sprint into after releasing the ball wide out.

These types of one-liners are great:

Bellingham plays brilliant defense and does things like that, above and beyond the attack.That's why he will pass the team ceiling on both sides.His assist in El Clasico was something only a player can do on a regular basis.He was the best midfielder on the pitch - no wonder he's the best midfielder in the world.

7. Press

It can be understood that a team that is going through the latest expansion is still not good with their new system.Pressing has never been a big part of Real Madrid's DNA.Real Madrid, in their history, has been a little bit of everything, features between low blocks, middle blocks, and direct football, and attacking football.

But it's a different kind of passing to be brutalized by the furious fury of a high line

There are signs.As Matt Wiltse wrote about managing Madrid:

Movements of the group increase the mobility: total adjustments from 69.1 for 76.1 for 76.1 for 35.8 to 35.8 to 35.5.

Possession also increased from 60.5% to 64% or 67.1%, with the exception of the match at Anota, where Madrid played for more than an hour with 10 men.The vision is clear.They increase their intensity without letting the ball rest and press harder rather than smartly.As my coach likes to say, "If you run 10 yards now, you don't have to run 50 yards.".

Although there is an improvement identified through the simplicity of the system .When he got the victory in their important meetings.most happy to rate it.

8. Tchurekameni

Ayashin Kishosuyo is a "marriage" who is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, and when I claim that he's a sikumamani, the league runners-up just didn't come to me.

But we have never seen Tchouameni at this level.It may still peak in the next few years, but this version has to be pretty close to its peak.He's mature, focused, rational - insanely talented and so strong it's not fair.His ball-winning technique is one of the best in the world, if not the best.

Remember his quotes on the opening day of Real Madrid?That he learned from the greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant?THhoumeni is one of these special players who brings the game to the field when he plays.Not all players leave the game in his style.No wonder he is better and better.The new acquisition in Xabi Alonso has been ruled out.

"I can't say what will train separately (in public) but there are different situations, between Carloclotti and Alonso). "Some players have changed."

Tchouameni is being counted on more than ever, and he has made the call.He thrives under that pressure - just as we expected the day he signed for Real Madrid.

9. Haste Must Haul Must Haul

In a previous column, I said, “Mastantuono's growing pains are mostly (very) tolerable because he works so hard to defend himself.A fearless player like him, who makes risky mistakes and works defensively, is rarely negative.

He just took his defensive efforts to another level since the last column, increasingly sticking to Xabi Alonso's relentless pressing scheme.Mastantuono has been hunting the players, breathing down the neck of every left defender and making them as uncomfortable as possible.

It's not just Mastantuno.The meeting machine of the group is part of the environment it feeds on.But Mastantuono's energy is infectious.He's strong with his teammates - they know he won't let them down or miss a defensive assignment.Mastantuono pulls out the tank, throws balls-to-the-wall, and fills up.It usually means that you will be built in the second half - the price is not good enough to pay knowing the team can build a lead in the first half that is cool and can mark later in the game.

Mastonton is wrong about the traditional performance, lines of any kind of action, but he borrowed heavily from the play of nature.

Can he play deep or take Angel Di Maria Indima?He likes to drop deep for both club and country and is a smart ball with his steady passing game.He likes to handle the ball, lie down and get himself in a good position.

Mentally, I still sometimes see myself here:

Look at the drive, verticality, vision, and correlation.A complete mess to defend yourself - He is the worst player to have against you because it is difficult to read the next move when you come back.

Mastantuono will lose some minutes along with Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga.He brings a lot to the table as a two-way player.

Perhaps ahead of Franco's schedule, Mastantanmo has established himself as one of the youngest players of the modern era in the first month of the season.Many, myself included, felt that his involvement would be gradual, rotational and too long-term.But Xabi Alonso entrusted the Argentinian with a prominent role as the team's main man as the team implemented a 4-3-3 formation.

Mastaateruono's work is the reason why his presence is almost like 4-3-3.We don't see him in midfield, we don't see him on the left or in the middle.With Jude Bellangham coming back, I think that Alonso will find the balance between Arda Guler, Jude Belldesham, Yuarardo Camavida, 4-3-3, and 4-4-2.Great question.

Wellingham quickly returned to Atlético Madrid to launch a mastantuon and thus release the 4-3-3.Real Madrid are deviating from what has worked for them in every game this season.Starting Bellingham is a no-brainer.4-3-3 works and 4-4-2 with Comavinga seems impossible.Making the Bellingham Attack means you will lose the depth to bring down sepak safito.Could on the field?That is FEDDA FEDDA FOLD YANGKANDA IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT OR ENGLISH.

These are all 'good problems' to deal with, and I don't have the answers - these are just observations and thought-provoking questions.
