First half

Real Madrid sits in a similar 4-3-3 system. At the beginning of the match, the team first uses the dimensions of the teams with pretty balloons of Odriozola, which makes it possible to center the game towards the inside of the track. Sometimes it takes a notch for one of the inner circles and create a 4-2-1-3 system. In the third minute, Asensio creates a small spell and creates a more convenient position for Benzema, but lacks Benzema. Sometimes it also looks like a 4-1-2-3 game system with Modric and Kroos aningen higher up on the track than Casemiro.

Modric is very active during the first seven minutes of play, but Real Madrid as a whole does not regularly succeed in getting dangerous chances, while Valladolid begins to enter the game slowly, apparently with possession of the ball.

It's obvious because it does not end. In the 10th minute, Real Madrid started to use his biggest ball possession by fitting around the ball in circuits designed to take advantage of the game's width. And just at that minute, Asensio returned to his defender many times, a chance for Benzema, unfortunately too well finished. Bale gets a dream situation in the 12th minute and his nickname is not efficient enough, so again, the chances of goal are burned, but positive that the team creates an opportunity to score.

The ball and its starting points are treated as "on a rope" and it's a very creative rhythm behind the passes with special use across the edges. Odriozola represents an edge and Kroos sometimes stands on the other in a secondary game. as a defensive midfielder, he takes advantage of his magical right foot.

As soon as Reguilón moves, he is doing well as in the 17th minute with a difficult and messy position. Valladolid's game plan begins to get brighter: stay on defensive positions and quickly attempt a black counter-football thanks to passages directed against Unal.

In the space of a few minutes, from 24th to 29th minute, Real Madrid does not create enough powerful finishes that will deeply threaten Valladolid in case of danger. But you also have the same control over the course of events as Valladolid stands so deeply while being organized enough for everything to work.

The attackers of Madrid are also authors of "stationary" because they do not work deep enough and it is easy to defend oneself. 33 minutes into the game, Valladolid had a great opportunity to score after a Madrid counterattack, but Antonito managed to manage the ball and missed the chance to pace Courtois.

In the 35th minute, Asensio and Bale create a very good combination game (as before in the half) and Bale gets a megachan with the forehead but fails again. Bale also suffered in the same situation as she was. Named Unal gets another superchance in the 40th minute, but he also misses the opportunity for the guests.

The game system and ideas is really similar to Christmas Lopeteguis the game philosophy to be honest for Real Madrid. One of the differences between the opening of the center and the end of the match lies in the fact that Santiago Solari moves the Kroos and Modric more than ever in the game modes and especially during the conquest of the ball. This in pure desperation to recycle the pen as soon as possible to establish any kind of basic game.

Second half

Madrid opens (at the beginning) the second period with a more active and active press game. Much of what happens is happening on the edge of Odriozola / Asensio while Reguilón starts getting extra help from Basel at the same time. At the 53rd minute, Reguilón and Kroos collaborate to create a small space of play. A corner is created for a corner, but unfortunately, this opportunity also passes by Casemiro. Casemiro could only escape with a powerful shot that Masip was watching at long distance.

But in the 55th minute, Real Madrid starts to create many opportunities, including Modric and Benzema, and the timing is propitious for the team. Solari also chooses to go out Casemiro and put in Isco, a clearly offensive change. Valladolid also creates a chance in sylvasse thanks to an interaction between Villa and Alcaraz and the ball takes the post. But the game begins to take an increasingly offensive pace. Courtois warms up again in the 60th minute, when he is paralyzed by a second free kick from Valladolid. But Valladolid shows that they are in Bernabeu to fight.

After the exchange with Isco in – Casemiro, it seems that Isco or Asensio could share in the middle of the field. Otherwise, it can theoretically look like a 4-2-4 with two classic expressions from time to time. And that in itself has created a risky Real Madrid with Solari so desperate for the three points. Valladolid would also have another shot in Villa's shores. Same Villa was invited to leave the area, he was replaced by kom Verde after 69 minutes.

After 70 minutes, Solari replaced Vazquez with – Bale. 3 minutes later, Vinícius has a lot of playing time (for him, considering this season) when he enters the course and Asensio leaves the plan. Plano intervenes for the guests instead of L. Suarez at the same time. Odriozola is regularly on its edges, but a more regular final product is missing from 77 years old. For its part, Real Madrid seems to have moved to a 4-1-4-1 with as many offensive circulating players as possible.

In the 82nd minute, the salvation of Argentinian Solari and the young Brazilian star shot Vinícius, who managed, by deflection, to crack the otherwise intact nolla of Valladolid. 1-0 at Real Madrid. Thanks to Vinícius, no matter how you look at it. Minut 87 and Benzema organize a penalty for Real Madrid and Ramos does not make a mistake without sitting there 2-0 to Madrid.

Reflections on the match

A Real Madrid that did not initially enough variations in the game modes and with players who value a little the situation. The irritation would be noticeable on the part of the training teams with the many changes made, but you can still assign Solaris' board of directors in Santiago as flawlessly until now.

And the more Solari succeeds in winning matches with his Real Madrid, the more echo will be high so that he becomes the club's governing body officially. A certain despair had to be noted during the match, but the three points are homemade, it is the object of the sport. However, the game's philosophy can be improved to more than one level. so that you do not have to be placed in positions as vulnerable on the plane and despair reigns now, you want to see security in the future no matter who trains us.

Player evaluation

1) not approved

2) approved

3) good

4) very good

5) world class

Courteous: 2 – Do what he does in his mind and could not do more on the ribs either. Inactive moments of the game, which is positive for us.

Odriozola: 3 – Around his benchmarks often because of speed, but he lacks both the cold and the experience / skill to convert it into combined effort. Missing in some cases, the final product.

Ramos: 3 – Defensively, he is right when he gets it and that he spices it all up with a Panenka goal.

Nacho: 3 – Represents two breaks and shows the general grinta. A clear positive injection in these wounded times.

Reguilón: 3 – Coming on the edge, but, as in the case of Odriozola, missing a playing partner on the edge to combine more often.

Modric: 3 – Always available in the game modes and his training with the ball is admirable from time to time. Do a good job as a ball carrier.

kroos: 4 – Can change positions several times during the match (but rolls) but does it all with a goodbye.

Casemiro: 3 – Be one of the best before it is traded.

ball: 2 – Is the passive point in the game, but flashes at times. Can no longer and should have shown more.

Benzema: 3 – In fact is misclassified No. 9 given his behavior, but inflicts a penalty and participates in a corner of the game, which is positive.

understudy:

Isco: 3 – Enter the game in a difficult position, but puts his authority through the game.

Vinicius: 3 – Perhaps an exaggerated celebration of a personal goal, but an important goal that meant that the young man was the winner of the match with his opposition.

Vazquez: 2 – Too few ball showers in general, but very little time to do it.
