Real Madrid’s Season So Far: Highs and Lows”
Real Madrid’s season has kicked off with a bang, securing victories in all four of their La Liga matches. While the team’s overall performance has been commendable, there are certain players who need to step up their game. Let’s take a closer look at some of the areas that require improvement.
1. Fran Garcia: Fran Garcia, a 24-year-old academy graduate, returned to Bernabeu this summer after an impressive season at Rayo Vallecano. However, his performances have raised concerns due to defensive lapses, including one that led to a goal against Getafe. While he may need more time to adapt, there’s room for improvement in his game.
2. Rodrygo and Vinicius: Real Madrid’s tactical shift to a 4-4-2 ‘diamond’ formation has impacted the form of wingers Rodrygo and Vinicius. Last season, the team played with a 4-3-3 formation featuring Karim Benzema, but with his departure, the wingers have struggled to find their best form. They have collectively scored significantly fewer goals than Jude Bellingham alone. Additionally, both players have missed penalties, putting them behind Joselu and Modric in the penalty-taking rankings.
While these players may be facing challenges early in the season, there is room for improvement and adaptation as the campaign progresses. Real Madrid fans will be hoping to see their performances improve in the coming matches.
