Spanish Radio Cobe wrote an article analyzing Real Madrid's victory over Juventus. He believed that although the team had bright spots, it also exposed hidden dangers in the next El Clasico.
The Western media affirmed that Vinicius "decided the game" and that Bellingham would regain the "important feeling" after scoring. But Real Madrid's biggest concern comes from the defensive end. The article clearly stated: "Behind Valverde, because he is positioned very high, everyone is playing now."
Based on this, the article predicts that in the national derby, Valverde may be assigned to play as a full-back, because Alonso may not dare to "risk using Carvajal." The article also observed that the decrease in assists from full-backs like Carreras was attributed to teams often "leaving three men in the backcourt."
For the upcoming El Clasico, the biggest tactical question in the Western media is Guler's position: "Will he play in the center or on the right, where Diaz played?" He reminded that a similar arrangement did not work well against Atletico Madrid.
In addition, it is believed that although Real Madrid's "high pressing" style is "modern football", it will bring huge risks when facing Barcelona, "one of the best teams in the world to control the ball and play the ball in the backcourt".
