I thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match seems very boring to me now. Neither team is doing much attacking. The players of both teams are playing very carefully. Mbappe is in Madrid's squad. But we have yet to see a better performance from Mabppe. At the end of 30 minutes, both teams managed to make only one shot each. Madrid had 51% ball possession and Atalanta had 49% ball possession.

As both teams are playing defensive tactics, it looks like the first half will end goalless. However, in the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy. I hope the second half will be more exciting. Madrid really want to win today's match.

Both teams seemed to play more carefully in the first half. And indeed the match was quite boring. Initially I thought both teams would immediately play aggressively from the start but it seems my guess was wrong. but I was quite surprised because Atalanta could also match Real Madrid well. And Real Madrid is also still having difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense. In the second half, maybe the fun will only begin. Because in the first half the two teams were just testing each other's strengths and trying to observe the opponents' weaknesses. So that in the second half all teams will have finished analyzing and a better strategy will definitely be used. But if it turns out that in the second half the match is still running the same as in the first half then it looks like this match will not be as lively as we expected.

Atalanta is indeed able to provide very strong resistance but for me this condition is very reasonable because both clubs have just started this season's match in the super cup competition.
Actually Atalanta is not too strong and Real Madrid only needs a little chemistry after the arrival of Mbappe, it certainly takes a lot of time to be able to become a strong formation.
Ancelotti always uses this strategy in the first half using a little attack to see how the Atalanta players play but after that Real Madrid will provide a stronger attack in the second half.
Just see later in the second half Real Madrid will definitely score a winning score.

Real Madrid problem is from the midfield, they don't have who to be in charge of the midfield and they allowed Atalanta to be in control of the midfield. This is where Kross will be missed because assuming he is still in Real Madrid, he will do the job professionally. However, I know that Ancelotti must have seen he laxity and will make substitutes that will improve their performance and change the game to the orb favor on the second half. Most games that Real Madrid won last season, they scored in the second half and the first half for Ancelotti is for studing his opponent weaknesses.
