The Champions League finally officially began, as the focus of this round of matches, the match between Paris and Real Madrid attracted the attention of most fans, and finally Paris won at home with Mbappe's 1-0 score in the final moments, taking advantage of the opportunity. The data of this game is unexpected by many fans, at the home of The Greater Paris, Real Madrid only has 3 shots on goal, and the number of shots on target is only 0 times, such a performance is completely invisible to the style of la Liga leaders, and it seems difficult for many fans who support Real Madrid to accept. Could it be that Carlo Ancelotti, as manager, has given up the Champions League?
First of all, if you don't look at the whole game, it is difficult to see that Real Madrid has made a huge change. Although Real Madrid is still a 433 tactic in this game, overall, in the case of the wingers completing and participating in more defense, Real Madrid's tactics are more inclined to 451, the tactics are relatively conservative, and Ancelotti is ready for a draw on the road. If you look at this goal, in fact, real Madrid have performed very well most of the time, they once made a very good restriction on Mbappe, and through the tacit understanding between the players, they reversed their feet back and forth in the backfield, destroying the offensive rhythm of Paris, which they did well, and still got more than 42% of the possession in the defensive posture.
Secondly, the reason why Real Madrid made such a change has a big background, this season's Champions League canceled home and away goals, only the number of goals scored by both sides is compared, Real Madrid's pressure on the offensive end is relatively not so great, so Ancelotti's goal is also quite conservative. Moreover, Real Madrid actually attaches great importance to this game, as can be seen from Benzema's comeback, or hope to be able to use Benzema as a fulcrum in the front court, tear apart the defense of Greater Paris through the speed of Vinicius and others, and win a goal. However, the process of the game did not achieve this, so it seemed that Real Madrid did not perform well.
On the other hand, an important reason why Real Madrid made such a tactical arrangement is that the forward line of Greater Paris is too terrifying, especially Mbappe's impact is difficult to limit through a defensive player. This can also be reflected in the course of the game, carvajal will even be eaten raw when facing Mbappe's breakthrough, and Militang and others must cooperate to effectively limit it. This is still the case of Mbappe playing well alone, and if Neymar and Messi are in form, the attack of Greater Paris will become even more terrifying. The tactical arrangement was conservative and the players did not have much problem playing, but Mbappe's goal still ruined Ancelotti's dream.
With no goals scored away and conceded, Ancelotti has less options. Returning to the Bernabeu, Real Madrid will have to make sure they score more than one goal and that the team will not concede goals in order to advance to the next stage of the game, but the absence of Casemiro and Mendy will put Carlo Ancelotti to more tests. Now that Real Madrid want to limit Greater Paris, it is already so difficult, and if they want to withstand the attack of Greater Paris in the absence of two big players, perhaps they need to change their strategy and take a more positive posture to face this problem before they can enter the top 8 of the Champions League.
