"Adopting a certain "Pragmatic" way against better teams in terms of players' quality and tactical level seems to be a logical and appropriate road to take especially when you have the right profiles to execute such game plan. And actually it's depending largely on the game state because the opposition can score early on and opt for giving up possession or there is another case which I deem rare to occur which is both teams want to defend in a low block (So what are you going to do) Ruben Amorim stated before Liverpool game that launching long balls and trying to win the second balls is"

"I think Real Madrid's right side screams for an able winger in 1v1 situations. Brahim Diaz isn't the profile who has the qualitative superiority in these situations. Why does Real Madrid need that Because in 1v1s the winger can simply keep nudging the ball forward or attack the byline to push the opponent's block backward. So he can play it across or cut it back to the space around the penalty area. Mbapp did it in his first attempt against Cambiaso RMA flooded the box with numbers and dragged Juventus deep. As a result the space was at a premium at the edge of the box for Militao to strike."

"I think there are very very few players who position themselves smartly and well in the rebound zone. And Jude Bellingham is one of the best in this regard"

"Real Madrid - Juventus analysis is up I discuss: RMA easy progression but finds problems vs Juventus' low block; Juventus counterattacks; RMA improvement in high press but low-block defending is still a hindrance;"

"Real Madrid's problems against Juventus were as follows: Low Block defending from the left side notably because of Vinicius Jr still not having that awareness of his role OOP. For example Kalulu hugged the touchlines and McKennie pinned Carreras inside while Vini Jr. was still high trying to mark Gatti. That set off a domino effect. Carreras had to shift across a little bit so Militao was hesitating whether to step out on McKennie and leave Asencio in 1v1 against Vlahovic or stand still and leave McKennie free BTLs. This time of dilemma was enough for McKennie to receive and shoot. The"

"Real Sociedad's goal vs Barcelona was also from the same pattern. Double-width to generate space between LB & RB and exploit it via the winger creating separation to lay the ball off onto the center. Real Sociedad lined up in an asymmetrical 4-3-3 in which the center-backs stay narrowly in relation to the goalkeeper. That saw the left-back function in a deeper position with the left winger pinning Kound near the halfway line. Real Sociedad intentionally operated within large distances near the flanks to generate space and unlock wide combinations"

"Saka Eze Gyokeres and Timber will be so crucial on the right side to bait pin and release a runner down the inside channels. Depth and width are a must. I think the same applies to the left if Martinelli operates wide and baits Simeone forward to stretch the distance between him & Llorente so Lewis-Skelly or Rice can slide those passes in behind"

"I wrote the "Welcome Xabi Alonso" piece back in the Club World Cup taking a look at Real Madrid In Possession dynamics. You can go directly to the part discussing Juventus to see how Alonso tweaked his ideas to involve more numbers in the final third as Juventus in the first half surprisingly defended deep with aggressive step-outs forcing Real Madrid to recycle backward"

"I once said this about Barca PSG Bayern and it's really the same for RMA. It very rare when RMA has to sit in a low block. And if Xabi wants to render RMA one of the best teams OOP I think the process will be similar to what Arteta has done since 2022/23 season. IP for better OOP"
