Real Madrid was completely defeated by Barcelona again, it was definitely not because of the main team in the back defense. An Shuai s tactical mistakes are the key.

In the 35th round of La Liga this season, Real Madrid was reversed by Barcelona while leading two goals away and finally lost 3:4. He was already 7 points behind Barcelona in the league standings. With only 3 rounds left in La Liga, Real Madrid has almost withdrawn from the competition for the La Liga championship this season. For Real Madrid's national derby defeat in this game, many people shifted the blame to the performance of the players on the court or the injuries of the main players in the defense. This is only part of the reason, the main reason is Real Madrid coach Ancelotti's tactical mistakes.

Cebalos

The official La Liga formation given by the La Liga in this game is 4231, so I won’t talk about the defense line, and An Shuai has no other choice. The double midfielders are Ceballos and Valverde, Vinicius and Guillail play left and right forwards, Bellingham's midfielder, and the forward center is Mbappe. There are several problems here. First, Celeros, who has only recovered from injuries recently and is far from reaching the best competitive state. For such an important and difficult game, it is indeed worth discussing that An Shuai chose him to start. During the game, Sebalos collided with Mbappe and lost the ball, which directly led to a goal being scored by Barcelona. This is the best proof of his absence.

Ship An explained to Gulaire the tactics

and then the use of Gulaire. The young player performed well in the first two rounds of La Liga, so he got the chance to start in this game. Gulaire is characterized by delicate skills under his feet, broad vision, accurate passing, and good set-piece and long-range shooting skills, but he is slow and has weak ability to fight. Therefore, he was unable to directly attack the opponent's defense line in the wing forward or winger position, which directly led to the paralysis of Real Madrid's right attack in the first half of this game. After losing the ball on the defensive end, it was difficult for Gulaire to complete the task of returning to chase and assisting defense. It’s not that Gulaire is not capable, but that An Shuai put him in the wrong position, preventing him from playing to his own strengths. The most suitable position for Gulaire is the front midfielder or central avant-garde.

Bellingham

An Shuai also made a mistake in the use of Bellingham in this game. Ancelotti clearly knew that Real Madrid did not have a pure defensive midfielder in this game, and he also arranged Bellingham, who has considerable defensive ability, to be in the front midfielder position. Faced with Barcelona's high ball possession rate, it is difficult for Bellingham to play the characteristics of attacking in the back row, and his position on the court is relatively high, so his contribution in defense is not very big. If Ann lets Bellingham retreat and play as a central defender, then Real Madrid's defense will definitely be more stable.

An Shuai

When facing Barcelona, ​​An Shuai should choose a 442 midfield diamond position. Vinicius and Mbappe are on the front line, Guillail plays as a midfielder, Bellingham and Modric are on the left and right central defenders, and Valverde plays as a midfielder. Some people will feel that the defense of the single midfielder is even more unstable, but this is not the case. Real Madrid basically defends at low posts in the game against Barcelona, ​​so Bellingham and Modric can assist Valverde in defense. In extreme cases, the front midfielder Guerre can also retreat and play in a parallel position of 442 midfielders. As long as you grab the ball, Julaire, Modric, Bellingham and Valverde can all send accurate passes, allowing Vinicius and Mbappe to fight back quickly.

Alonso, who is about to take over Real Madrid, has an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat in this game, but this is no longer important. Real Madrid ushered in a season with all four being empty, and will be completely rebuilt in the summer transfer window. Next season is still worth looking forward to.
