The beneficiaries and disadvantages of Madrid for playing a 4-5-1

The Real Madrid the new one is playing and very well Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and is doing so by overcoming major casualties in attack like Asensio, Hazard, Bale or Benzema. Zinedine Zidane, in command, his pulse did not tremble to make decisions of transcendence before the Valencia in the semifinals and he got it right.

The French coach reinvented himself and ‘revolutionized’ the team with an unprecedented system to date as is the 4-5-1 that he put in liza in the stadium King Abdullah. The goal (Courtois), the defense (Carvajal, Varane, Ramos and Mendy) and ‘9’ (Jovic) were ‘sung’, but then there were several doubts about who would accompany Casemiro, Valverde and Kroos in the middle (Modric or Isco) and who would do the same in the lead with the Serbian (Rodrygo or Vinicius). Nothing is further from reality.

Zizou opted for five midfielders and the Madrid fond of Valencia, monopolizing the game, chances and goals to end up taking the win. Analyzing in Central defense This new game system, we have realized that the core and its players is the one that wins the most. Casemiro he's still the blanco white firefighter ’; Valverde, the ‘allcampista’ that covers everything. With them, Kroosbut above all Modric and Isco they are more liberated from defensive tasks and can reach the rival area.

The Croatian and the Malaga had to assume more scoring responsibility and so he scored the second and third, respectively, while the German opened the path of victory with an Olympic goal. James, on his return to the team, he also felt very comfortable playing in that scheme. Although not all is good news, there are also several injured.

Jovic, only in attack, he was more than lost in the absence of spaces because the Madrid dominoes and Valencia remained very enclosed. The Serbian could score taking advantage of a rejection and gave the third to Modric, but did not participate in excess. Also, players like Rodrygo, Vinicius or Bale they remain site in this scheme while Benzema, a ‘9’ more associative, would also have a tough fight to adapt.
