For every "Meringer", Real Madrid's performance this season has brought them enough joy. At the beginning of the season, if fans were asked to analyze the team's prospects for the season, almost no one would have thought that they would be able to play so well in the league and the Champions League when the season was about to be completed. Because from the overall strength of the team, the team does not have the top players in the year of playing in all positions, so not to mention that in the Champions League, even in the league, they do not have the strength to "thrive". However, Ancelotti made the "impossible" into the "possible." Here, one has to admire Florentino's "scheming" in the choice of head coach.
From the tactical level of the team, Ancelotti almost did not spend much effort to successfully find the most suitable tactical system for this team. On the offensive end, Benzema was the "key" to Ancelotti's choice. Objectively speaking, because Benzema is already older, he does not have enough advantages in terms of physical confrontation ability and speed, and because he has played the role of a "responsive" striker for most of his career, the scoring attribute seems to be not obvious enough. Still, Ancelotti chose to give him the most trust and entrusted the French striker with the task of attacking the whole team. Almost to everyone's surprise, Benzema has maintained a fairly good standard throughout the season, with almost no troughs. Under his leadership, a number of young players, including Vinicius and Rodrigo, have achieved very obvious improvements.
On the defensive end, the team also had obvious shortcomings in the lineup. This is mainly reflected in the player reserve. In midfield, Tony Kroos and Modric are not defensive players, especially as they age and their contributions on the defensive end decline further. In terms of young players, although Camaringa and Casemiro are younger and more physically strong, Ancelotti is quite frustrated that these two players seem to be able to play their own level in attack compared to defensive aspects. So when Casemiro, the only defensive midfielder in the team, couldn't play, the problems of the team's midfield defense were almost inevitably revealed. Of course, Ancelotti also tried to avoid this shortcoming through tactical deployment, such as shortening the distance between the three lines, and the overall formation was appropriately postponed, which also achieved certain results. Regardless, though, they need to find a partner for Casemiro in the transfer market.
In the backline, the team's problems are "more than enough" compared to the midfield position. If the team still has reliable players such as Modric, Valverde, Casemiro and other trustworthy players in the midfield position, then in the backline, except for Alaba, Ancelotti has hardly found a defender who has completely reassured him this season. In the centre-back position, Militang has not played as expected this season, and it seems that he is more suitable as a rotation player for the team; Alaba has performed well, but if there is a more suitable center-back in the team, Ancelotti should still let Alaba return to the left. After all, on the left side of the team, the performances of Mendy and Marcelo have made this side an obvious shortcoming of the team. The situation on the right side is not much better, Vazquez's performance has not improved, and Carvajal, as the main player, has declined significantly, which makes the team's reinforcements almost imperative. Reece James has been on the team's reinforcement list, but the transfer is very difficult.
For Florentino, however, he is more inclined to focus his transfer on the forward line than at the backline. After all, a large transfer on the forward line can bring an immediate improvement to the brand value of the team. That's the main reason why he has been trying his best to facilitate Mbappe's transfer. From the current situation, Florentino has already won. According to the Daily Sport, Real Madrid have reached a full agreement with the 160 million euro superstar player. It will be an "epic" transfer. The time for them to officially announce the completion of the signing has also been determined, that is, in late May.
While Mbappe's transfer doesn't require the team to pay any transfer fees, they have to bear a lot of money in terms of player salaries and signing fees, plus they also need to recruit in other positions, so the team also needs to sell some players to ensure balance. According to Spain 4, the team has lost patience with Mendy, in their opinion, the main player of the back line has not met the team's requirements on both offensive and defensive ends, and has no ability to continue to improve his performance. It is reported that Real Madrid hope to recover about 50 million euros in transfer fees from him. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
