Señoras y señores el gol más hermoso de la temporada.
Mbappé un fenómeno, un auténtico bailarín de la cancha
Mou, I already knew that days before , and I recommended it to you 🥱
🚨 REVEALED: Mourinho REALLY LIKED Arda Güler and Jude Bellingham SWITCHING positions against Sevilla.
It caused problems for Sevilla’s defence. @diarioas
Why does this 11 fit better with the DNA of the current staff?
The great success of this approach is not only aesthetic, but functional. Real Madrid's current squad is full of players with thin feet, spatial reading and versatility (Güler, Bellingham, Diomandé, Huijsen, Mbappé). Forcing this profile of players to act in a rigid system of withdrawal and long ball castra their greatest virtues.
This "different 11" gave Mourinho the perfect combination between the structural solidity he demands (guaranteed by the Tchouaméni-Valverde couple and the forcefulness of Konaté) and the creative freedom that his stars need to flow. By allowing talent to be associated in short and for the pressure to be exerted above, Real Madrid not only offered a colorful and enjoyable football, but also minimized its defensive vulnerabilities to the maximum.
Sevilla's mistakes and lessons for Mourinho
Luis García Plaza's Sevilla made serious tactical errors in reading the pressure. He tried a middle block with a line of 4 defenders too sunken but without the necessary aggressiveness in the midfielders (Agoumé and Fofana) to narrow the space between the lines. This left a "no one zone" of almost 20 meters where Bellingham and Güler received alone throughout the first half. Likewise, in the balls behind the back of the back, the Castrín-Salas couple suffered horrors before the speed of Mbappé and Diomandé, becoming uncoordinated by throwing the offside.
Mourinho must draw clear conclusions from this match for the next demanding commitments:
Attention to disconnections after goal: Manu Bueno's discount for Sevilla occurred just due to a defensive oversight after a loss in the exit in his own area. Madrid cannot allow dominated rivals to revive through punctual concessions.
Consolidate inner fluidity: This XI showed that Real Madrid reaches its football ceiling when it bets on combined technical quality in the medullary. Returning to hyper-defensive schemes in big matches could subtract the volume of play that Diomandé, Güler and Mbappé have shown to enhance.
