ANelotti ranked great
A few months ago, when the media was forced in a press conference on how to arrange troops (it was the period when Real was embarrassed when he had to “stuff” more Kylian Mbappe in a struggling attack) , Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real is angry: “I trained about 1,300 matches. I have ranked 1,300 starting squads and replaced people about 4,000 times. I don’t need anyone to teach me about how to arrange the army.”
Real Madrid always knows how to win in the Champions League
Now, Real the triumphal song, leaving Etihad with a 3-2 victory over Manchester City (Man.City) in the play-off match, the ticket to the 16th round of the Champions League team. It is time for observers to get used to the concept of “Derby Champions League”, when Real and Man.City have been constantly meeting in the knockout format in the last 3 seasons, and the victory team has always been a straight team coming forward. The Champions League championship. Ancelotti himself declared before the play-off round: “I think the team won in this match is fully capable of winning the championship.” Of course, the 3-2 victory in the first leg is a great advantage for Real, before the second leg at home. The squad full of patchy and charming scoring of the reserve player Brahim Diaz helped Real win against it.
Man.city is not only enough, but also has surplus defender. The quartet Josko GVARDIIM, Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji in Man.City’s defense are all played in the forte, while center -back John Stone is also used in a higher position, in the diagram 4-1-4-1. In contrast, Real lost up to 5 defenders before the ball rolled. Ancelotti must send midfielders Aurelien Tchoumeni, Federico Valverde down, assembled with Ferland Mendy and young Raul Asencio. It was a defender that had never been to each other. And perhaps that temporary defender will never appear again. In another match, with other specific circumstances, Ancelotti will not have to rank like that anymore. But in the immediate future, just admit that the Real defender has successfully played in the recent trip, despite conceding 2 goals.
Real Madrid BWish one foot in the next round
Ancelotti comes from Calcio – the world’s No. 1 football background in two characteristics: high tactics and defensive instincts. That is why Ancelotti clearly sees that midfielder Valverde can kick the full -back while Tchouameni can carry the center -back. On the other hand, Ancelotti trained in the match, adjusting everything depending on the game, rather than training according to the philosophy of pre -determined philosophy like Pep Guardiola. This is the path to Real to a spectacular reverse victory: Brahim Diaz equalized 2-2 in the 86th minute and Jude Bellingham set a 3-2 victory for Real in injury time.
Earlier, Erling Haaland scored both goals for Man.city, before and after the Mbappe’s goal for Real. It was surprising that Real won back in the last minutes. However, the panoramic view shows that Real deserves this important victory.
The strange bravery of the team “Champions League championship” was once again shown by the expert tactist Ancelotti. Immediately after the victory, he announced always about the recovery of several pillars, confirming they would return in the second leg. That may be just “damage”. Not only more in terms of score, Real is better than Man.City, as if he had put one foot in the next round.
