It was very strange

Nothing. Zero. Real Madrid was missing, despite being a Champions League semi-final.Courtois was saved, yes, by avoiding what could have been a scandalous victory. I cannot find an explanation for what happened in Manchester, because no one who was on the field was spared, except for the aforementioned goalkeeper. It was never seen before.

In the defensive aspect, Real Madrid is far behind, very static and with a terrible attitude. He did not take the initiative and barely watched the game. The team was broken in defense. In attack, when you are pressed, it is normal to have mobility and rhythm changes, but there was nothing. City won without too much pressure. Real Madrid left Courtois. It cannot be said that they have shown themselves as a team, it is incredible.

As for the coach, Carlo Ancelotti I’m not criticizing it for the initial approach, because it might be right to begin with, but I’m criticizing it for the second part. In the first, it can be admitted, he surprised his opponent, but he must contribute much more to change the course of the match in the second half. He should have reacted already after fifteen to twenty minutes of the game, but he didn’t. Everything was very strange.

In the first half, he had to react to the attitude of the team, to force him to take the initiative, but he didn’t do that either. In the second half, he tested things, but the team was equal. Nothing has improved with the changes.

The players did not know how to understand the game and were burdened in all aspects: attitude, rhythm changes, passing, lines, individual tackles, play…

If they tell me before the game that this will happen, I don’t believe it at all.

One of the clearest examples is Valverde. Otherwise, he runs a lot, has a commendable attitude and decisive changes of pace. And in Manchester, he caught the negative dynamics of the team. I insist. Everything was very strange.
