For Real Madrid, this season was originally considered a transitional season, but judging from the team's performance in the first half of the season, their performance has clearly exceeded expectations. In the league, they are at the top of the table, and the score ahead of the second-place team has reached 8 points; in the Champions League, although they will face a fierce opponent like Paris Saint-Germain, they are not inferior to their opponents in terms of combat effectiveness this season. Predictably, at the end of the season, Ancelotti and his Real Madrid players are very hopeful of bringing a big surprise to the fans.
For the veteran coach Carlo Ancelotti, his construction of the team's tactical system and the use of players this season are eye-catching. Let's start with the tactical level. Unlike in the past, this Real Madrid team has a distinct characteristic on the pitch: fast, concise, decisive, and never dragging mud and water. On the pitch, the articulation and echo between the three lines of the team formation is quite good, and when the opportunity arises, their ability to seize the opportunity is also quite good. Moreover, the age structure of the team is also more reasonable, in the main lineup, there are veterans such as Modric and Benzema pressing the team, and most of the other players are in the current year, such as Alaba and Militan in the back line, Tony Kroos, Casemiro and Valverde in the midfield position. In addition, a number of young players with excellent abilities and potential have emerged in the team, such as Vinicius, Camarenga, Rodrigo and so on.
Let's look at the performance of the players. The biggest surprise to the team this season is undoubtedly Brazilian youngster Vinicius. The 21-year-old has demonstrated superstar level on the pitch, making great strides in his breakthroughs, passing and maneuverability on the left, as well as his shooting ability, and has grown into one of the best wingers in European football. In half a season, Vinicius has scored 10 goals in the league and four assists for his teammates; in the Champions League, Vinicius has scored 2 goals and 3 assists in 6 games, averaging nearly 1 goal per game. In the transfer market, Vinicius has reached 100 million euros, the most expensive player in Real Madrid and the most expensive player in La Liga.
If Vinicius is the player who has improved the most in the forward line, then Militang is the most impressive player in the backline this season. In fact, since coming to Real Madrid, the Brazilian centre-back has not performed as expected, especially compared with the transfer fee paid by Real Madrid, the transfer does not look ideal. However, this season, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, Militang has ushered in a reborn performance. He became more composed on the pitch and performed almost flawlessly on the defensive end. This season, Militang has made 18 appearances in the league and averaged 7.04 points per game, the highest-rated player of any centre-back in the league. In addition, in 4 of these 18 league games, Militão has won the honor of player of the whole game, second only to Benzema, who has won the best player of the whole game five times in real Madrid. This is undoubtedly a great affirmation for a centre-back. In the transfer market, Militang's value has reached 60 million euros, which makes him one of the top centre-backs.
However, for Florentino, although the team's performance is good enough, his creation of Real Madrid has not really begun, and he is still brewing a bigger operation. According to the ABC, decisive progress has been made in the negotiations between Real Madrid and Mbappe, and the two sides have agreed on the personal treatment of the players. Real Madrid offered Mbappe an annual salary of 21 million euros after tax, in addition to preparing for him a signing fee of about 40 million euros, which will be the maximum salary within the Real Madrid team. The French national team star will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid. It is reported that although Real Madrid have finalized Mbappe, they will respect Mbappe's wishes and will not announce that the transfer is completed before the end of the season.
In addition to Mbappe, Florentino is known to be interested in signing Haaland. In Florentino's view, only by including two of the best strikers in European football at the same time will the team have a brand value that no other team can match, which is what he has always wanted to achieve. This season, Haaland remains one of the most efficient goalscorers in European football, scoring 24 goals and providing four assists in all competitions. Judging from the current situation, Haaland seems to have also taken the initiative to "show favor" to Real Madrid. According to as, Haaland made it clear when asked which team he would play for next season. Considering that it is already difficult for Barca to continue to make large-scale reinforcements after completing the transfer of Ferran Torres, the target that Haaland is referring to can basically be determined to be Real Madrid.
