After C Ronaldo left Real Madrid, although Lafayette has introduced Mariano, Vinicius, Jovic and Hazard and other attackers in the transfer market, Zidane is not capable of stimulating the offensive talent of these players, and the veteran Benzema has no choice but to become the unique attack point of the galaxy in the post-C Ronaldo era.
Zidane was powerless to change the status quo of Real Madrid, and finally chose to leave again, the famous coach Carlo Ancelotti was not afraid of challenges, resolutely took over the whip of the Galactico, and his courage was very worthy of the appreciation of the outside world. Galeries Lafayette brought Araba and Camawinga to Ancelotti in the summer window, which did not help much on the offensive end, while Real Madrid lost Varane and Ramos, and the overall strength was reduced compared to last season.
It has to be said that Ancelotti's coaching ability is indeed a world-class level, and the same group of players have achieved completely different results in the new season. After the first 17 rounds of league battles, Real Madrid topped the table with a record of 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, 8 points ahead of Sevilla in second place, and 18 points ahead of Barca.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid's momentum is also very fierce, after the first game of the group stage lost to Sheriff Tiraspol by a score of 1:2, Ancelotti led Real Madrid all the way to the break, after winning 5 consecutive wins as the top of the group to reach the knockout stage, the feat of a strong double kill inter Milan shocked the European football world. The main reason why Real Madrid can transform in the new season is that Ancelotti has completely activated the offensive end of Real Madrid.
Benzema overcame the influence of age factors under Carlo Ancelotti and is in increasingly demon form, playing in 21 games this season, scoring 18 goals and 8 assists, and remaining the team's well-deserved number one attacker. In addition, Vinicius, who had a mediocre performance under Zidane, finally ushered in an outbreak and became Real Madrid's second point of attack, playing in 23 games, scoring 12 goals and adding 7 assists.
The two forward attack points of Benzema and Vinicius have completely opened up the strength of Real Madrid, but Ancelotti knows that in order to lead the Galaxy to the Treble, such attack power is still not enough, and the team needs a third attack point to do it, so Asensio has become Ancelotti's key training object. Asensio lived up to expectations and repaid Ancelotti's trust with his outstanding performances.
In the 17th round of the league against Atletico, Asensio started the game and scored a goal in the 57th minute to seal the win, and Real Madrid won 2-0. In the final round of the Champions League group stage against Inter Milan, Asensio came off the bench in the 78th minute and scored his second goal in the 79th minute, with Real Madrid winning 2-0. It is no exaggeration to say that Ancelotti has successfully inspired Real Madrid's third attacking point and has definitely the hope of leading the Galaxy to the Treble this season.
