Europe's top five leagues look like half-time champions are old acquaintances, and of course none of these teams are invulnerable. Today, let's take a look at some of the shortcomings of these league leaders now, in fact, it is very interesting, basically there is no perfect team.
Manchester City in the Premier League, now looks like the hope of defending the title is very big, but from the game point of view, Manchester City has a shortcoming
City's downside is the centre-forward, although it looks like this team is still scoring a lot. But look closely at the goal list, this team's front line is not the first to score goals, this is an interesting place, this must be a hidden danger, but Guardiola is using the idea of rotating the position of the front line to ensure the team's goal count, which is based on the ability to constantly create scoring opportunities, the Premier League may not be a problem, but if in the Champions League, it may be a problem, Manchester City has not encountered real challenges this year, but in the case of the team falling behind, it is true that some games have not performed well, this is caused by no center, So in the case that the rest of Manchester City is basically free of defects, the central striker problem will definitely be a hidden danger, and this hidden danger will appear in the Champions League knockout rounds, and this year's Champions League does not have away scoring rules, which may be good news for Manchester City. So let's see if City can overcome this shortcoming.
But Manchester City is indeed the best in the depth of the squad among these leaders.
La Liga Real Madrid, the hidden danger is the veteran
Real Madrid's performance this season is still good, there is really no important reinforcement this year, but a very troublesome thing is that this team has used a little more veterans this season, and these veterans seem to be indispensable, which is the biggest hidden danger. The combination of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro is basically unlikely to rest, of course, Casemiro still looks very young, the age of 30 or so still looks like the peak, Modric's problem is troublesome, Modric will soon be 37 years old, for such a veteran, no one knows which game will suddenly decline in form. Kroos is a good passing point, but the defensive ability is average, and the team's defense still needs Modric's help to make up the position.
But the midfield doesn't look like there are enough rotation players, and the youngsters haven't done particularly well this year, and that's the biggest problem. However, Real Madrid wants to exempt some players in the winter transfer window, including midfielders, defenders, and forwards, so it seems that it should be possible to solve the problem, but the hidden danger now is Modric, whether his state can be maintained until the end of the season, in fact, now everyone understands that Modric wants to participate in the World Cup, participate in the World Cup, and may retire.
The problem with Inter in Serie A is the lack of rotation in some positions
Inter's problem is the lack of rotation, the team's main center is still not very stable, but there is no way, after Romelu Lukaku left, the strength of the team's front line has indeed declined. The wing-backs have actually been unstable this season, but the team's midfield has been stable this season, so that the problem of the wing-backs has not been exposed so obvious, the back line Defrey and Shkrinha, Bastoni look like they can't rest, these three people have a break, the team's defensive ability will decline, and Devry's contract is now a problem, he does not want to renew his contract.
But because of the decline in the overall level of Serie A, Inter has performed well this season, and some of Inzaghi's rotations seem to be working well. Wing-backs and centre-backs are probably the next big point.
Bayern in the Bundesliga, the disadvantage is that there are no substitutes
Bayern's start is still good, at least at the top level in Europe, but the substitutes really have no one to use, so Bayern has always been this problem, but the team's center-backs do need reinforcements, Jules is now too low in level, Hernandez is actually in general condition, Anduasi still needs to exercise. So the rotation of players at centre-backs is not enough. The midfield really has no players to use except For Kimmich and Goretzka, and this is also the focus of the next reinforcement, Sabicze feels that the position is more advanced. But it is true that because it is in the Bundesliga, it seems that Bayern is less stressed, but the problem is that Bayern's next Champions League can not have player injuries, and there may be trouble for player injuries. But Bayern need to find a way to solve the problem of insufficient rotation players.
The problem for Paris is simple, paris now need to strengthen the defense
There are no problems with the attack in Paris, but there are too many defensive problems, and this team still needs some defensive players to join in the midfield and backline, but it is a bit difficult, because the good defenders don't seem to want to go to Ligue 1. In addition, from an offensive point of view, a problem in Paris now is Mbappe, I don't know the next game, whether Mbappe's future is determined, and how much impact it will have on Paris, so this team needs to bring in some defensive players next, and this defense will not have a good performance in Europe.
This is the shortcoming of the five league number ones now, in fact, Manchester City seems to have the fewest shortcomings, and the rest of the teams have some problems with their own squad rotation.
