I also will not deny that this season Real Madrid will face many problems especially Ancelotti who is required to be able to solve his attacking combination. Before the match started I was enthusiastic because the opponent was Las Palmas but eh it turned out that Madrid's game was very boring, having difficulty in finishing. Several opportunities were wasted because when they entered the penalty box Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo seemed to lose their way and did not know where to pass.

Madrid actually played by showing all their abilities, but unfortunately the Madrid players experienced a deadlock in terms of scoring goals. even the goal they were able to reply from the penalty spot, even though they should have been able to break through the home team. but there were many opportunities they had, 25 total shots they fired, 8 of which were on target and 5 big opportunities. so too with Mbappe, he tried to fire a hard shot outside the penalty box, unfortunately he was not able to break through the goal guarded by Cillessen. in fact, the Las Panas goalkeeper made 7 saves. uniquely, the pattern applied by the home team was not a defensive tactic. they used a 4-1-4-1 pattern, some of their players played quite impressively. in the Madrid camp, Diaz was unable to play his role with maximum performance which in the end Rodrygo replaced him. the entry of Arda Guller was unable to bring Madrid to full points, even Madrid almost lost if the goal created by Las Pamas was not trapped by the option. well, Don Carlo has implemented a similar system twice, but the results are not so satisfying. maybe he should try another pattern, for example a duo striker duo in the front line. thus, Mbappe can comb his playing style that is not just waiting for a pass if he is only relied on as a single striker. certainly, Ancelotti has homework to evaluate his team.

There are plenty of problems within Madrid's squad right now. Every player in Madrid's squad is very talented. Madrid has the best squad in La Liga. But the problem is Madrid's attack. The bonding between Madrid's attacking players is weak. And I'd say the problem arose after Mbappe joined the squad.

Vini and Rodrygo were in Madrid's attack last season. Bellingham helped strengthen the bonding of attacking players with the midfield. But since Mbappe's arrival in the squad, Ancelotti has had to make changes to his match tactics and formation. The players are yet to adapt well to the new match strategy and formation. This is why we saw poor gameplay from Madrid in all three matches.

Mbappe is a talented player but he is a bit selfish. He is keen to score goals but not keen to assist. Its negative impact is also likely to be seen in Madrid's overall performance. Madrid wants to be stronger as a team. Ancelotti will not base his match strategy on Mbappe alone. This is why Madrid's overall performance will take some time to stabilize.
