3 GAMES, 3 WINS, 3 CLEAN- SHEETS.
Everyone must be in rejoice after these results and might have prepared themselves for Solari as their new manager. But I still have my doubts about him.Even though we scored 5 past them yesterday but still we were caught many times in the defence. In the past 3 games rather than the tactics we had luck on our side. Zizou left as he knew that the team needs a system. With Solari we don't have that. I would rather want an authoritative manager who would make the players work hard for their place in the team. He must have the guts to bench the likes of Benzema, Bale and Ramos when they aren't performing well.
The good thing about Solari is that he has shown a lot of faith in Vinicius which will be very vital for his development.
Is it alright to say benzema is regained his scoring touch, I guess he noticed Luis Suarez recent success in front of goals and quickly that change's him to push more. Karim Benzema has now scored his 200th goal for Real Madrid in all competitions, becoming the 7th player to reach this tally for the club.
VINICIUS GETTING MORE MINUTES
If anything can be said about Vinicius from a sample of the past three matches, it's that this guy has the hunger, conviction and talent to become the very best player for our team and in the world. The alarming thing however is that he is trying to escalate his progress to a level that is not feasible for an 18 year old who's had just 4 months in Spain. Everytime he comes on, he wants to be the protagonist and shows a desperation in his on field movements. He will make runs too early on or call for passes even when his team mates are in better positions and seems to have a general lack of level headed decision making coupled with unrefined general ability in the final third.
I'm not taking anything away from this guy. He's super talented and has a very high ceiling, but the fact that - he's trying to do too much on the field with a relatively weaker base in terms of the quality of league he is playing in - is not going to help him in the long run.
A good example is the other youngster Sergio Reguilon. What stands out about him is his composure and level headedness in the match. He doesn't try to do too much more than getting his basics right.
I also understand that Vinicius is a left winger who's made a name for himself because of his flair and trickery in the Brazilian League just like his fellow Brazilians. I just wish that he works on that additional and highly potent aspect of his game after he's mastered the basics like picking out and putting in timed passes, making timed runs and playing in coherence with his teammates.
HALA MADRID
