That's why he's gone through so many different top quality stars to finally win CL. Probably gone though more than a Billion pounds. For me this proves how weak of a manager he truly is, yet for some reason, many in the media treat him as a Gods gift to Earth. I don't get it..

I saw a lot of people mocking, downplaying him after last night. They just gotta stop being starved for games, and stop treating every game like a final. He can only improve, and he's got no one else other than Kroos and Modric to learn from. He will go far, and I'm all for it.

I definitely agree with the bits about Jude's profile; tactical, and positional versatility. I disagree that Real's rebuild of the MF is complete. Having the slew of young CMFs (Fede, Camavinga, Tchouameni Jude) gain experience alongside Modric and Kroos is important. However, none of those young CMFs are the same profile, like Modric or Kross. The real challenge would be to see how Real's MF functions when Kross and Modric leave.

Florentino Perez is not fond of starting Kroos and Modric together as well. When Fran Garcia pushes up and if we are caught on the counter, and if it's Kroos at that natural LB position you know who's losing that battle. Camavinga on the left and Valverde on the right should work fine. There are games where either Modric or Kroos absolutely has to play according to the situation. They're still so good and dependable. Look at Kroos vs Getafe, changed the game after coming on. Also Modric vs Union Berlin was one of his best performances in recent years.

Awesome analysis

Carlo is known for his love of the #10. Be it through Isco, James, Kaka, Bellingham, he has nic for a central offensive player. This doesnt take away from the fact that we still need a striker for games that are too difficult for a 4-4-2 and forced to switch into a 4-3-3. Good examples are teams with 5 defensive players or teams that play a laid back defensive play. You need an extra man in the box for when pace and running behind a defense proves difficult. Thats where Joselu comes in, but it doesnt take the fact away that we need another ST, the 4-3-3 is looking more effective the more Joselu is becoming acclimatized with the team. If he gets consistent, a 4-3-3 attacking play is a more feasible and adaptive lineup. But what do I know

Its crazy how Jude can do it all. You could put him in almost every role and he would do well. You can see he combines football intelligence, technique and physics. Plus his mindset is key for doing it so consistantly.

This season unlike last season, this team is mainly a possesion based but vertical. But they can change their style at times. It makes it them play better and makes them more well organised, ever since the absence of Casemeiro, Benzema and Asensio.

Anchelotti always had a deep affections for CAM position. Maybe because he was a Midfielder and had offensive skill as a player.

Ancelotti’s AC Milan is his greatest work ever. Bellingham will never match kaka in terms of pure efficiency and output. How Kaka runs the length of pitch at full burst 90 minutes for 6 seasons in his prime while taking on astute and deep seated Italian defenders is nothing but a physical specimen. Bellingham doesn’t have that speed and power and even size or lung power. Hence Kaka’s prowess and directness matching his pretty good vision to boot makes him really the ultimate player for Ancelotti ever. In 2007, at his prime, Kaka made Ronaldo look like a tier lower in standard. Kaka’s ability is centred very much on his fitness and youth and that is why he fizzled earlier

This is exactly how Zidane's Madrid used to play in later part of UCL 3Peat. Where Casemiro used to drop centrally acting like 3CB and Marcelo Carvahal bomb forward. For playing 4-4-2 diamond you need extremely technical players with high footballing IQ but it will not work in Premier League where alot of teams are good on the ball and play good football with or without possession.

Bellingham thrives but I wanted vini and rodrygo to play in more prolific role

the only weakness is the width. Chelsea under Tuchel were the same. As soon as there were injuries to James and Chilwell the system stopped working. i have no idea who the back ups are for Carvahal and the LB: presumably Camavinga could be a 2nd choice LB, but without top quality out wide, it stops working. It shows though that packing the central areas of the pitch as Arsenal and Man City do is currently the favoured way of playing. Bellingham is just an incredible talent. Best English midfielder since Gerrard.

Shows you how Toni Kroos is very important for this team to work in the formation they are playing.

The number 10 role. Old school style. My type a ball

Brazil should try to play "same way", Vini and Rodry, Ney as 10, BUT with the 2 wingers (Martinelli and Raphinha) wide opened, SO the 2 fullbacks (inverted) would join the midfield

@tokiniainaricky8588

7 ай бұрын

Ney is finished.

Carlo Ancelotti earned his coaching skills during the golden age of Serie A, when Eriksson, Capello, Lippi and Trapattoni were at the helm of some of the best teams in the world back then. This 4-3-1-2 formation is similar to the one Lippi used (he usually used the 3-4-1-2, the 4-3-1-2 and the 4-4-2) when a certain nº10 named Zidane joined Juventus. And have we forgotten the "eye" on Ancelotti? the guy who saw Pirlo as a "regista" instead of a "trequartista", now saw Bellingam as a trequartista, instead of a "mezzala"... Nothing new from "Carletto", he's just smart like that!

ANCELLOTI is very shocked you put serious thoughts into his tactics

can someone explain why it is that all of a sudden the number 10 who doesn't track back to defend is seen as a positive all of a sudden? Just a few years ago the same people were saying this role was no longer possible and how it left the team at a tactical disadvantage when it comes to defending off the ball. James' first season at Madrid was some of the most beautiful football i have ever seen this team play and everyone was full of praise until Madrid finished second in every competition that year. Curious to see what would happen if Madrid don't win anything with Bellingham this time around.

I think they'll continue to do well against weaker teams, maybe win the league - but I think the lack of defensive numbers due to the high full back will be tricky against top level clubs

Carlo used this system before with Kaka in Ac Milan and almost succeeded

this guy changes the title and thumbnail of this video every day 😂

tho a problem is trying to find a kroos regen. in this day and age of football, no players have a similar skill set

Real madrid need a top striker to complement Bellingham

He’s been playing this style since Milan in the 00’s.

Classical brazilian structure system, with attacking fullbacks, 2 attackers inside confusing the defenders, and a lethal number 10 who can both assist and score... specially when Modric plays, like in 5:55 with 2 advanced midfielders Fran Garcia-Carvajal (FB) Tchouameni-Camavinga-Modric-Bellingham (MF) Vinicius-Rodrygo (ATK) Junior-Leandro (FB) Cerezo-Falcão-Sócrates-Zico (MF) Éder-Serginho (ATK) Leonardo-Jorginho (FB) Dunga-Mauro Silva-Zinho-Mazinho (MF) Romário-Bebeto (ATK) Roberto Carlos-Cafu (FB) Edimilson-Gilberto Silva-Kleberson-Rivaldo (MF) Ronaldo-Ronaldinho (ATK)

Sir Carlo is using Cryuff’s diamond formation

Remember what he did with Di Maria, from RW he converted him to CM

Marcelo would thrive in this formation imo, sad he is no longer with us in Madrid.

Close mid, play two rapid DMs and fast wingers… That’s what Barcelona did. Bayern can do the same, Manchester City, even United. You can’t simply throw your wing backs forward with impunity against those. You need to be able to create chances with less men and be ready to face fierce counters. Bellingham has pace and acceleration, but not much else so far. You will likely need Modric parts of the game and even maybe Joselu to battle mid and disrupt the defense.
