And even though some chances are created, if they aren't capitalized on, they're wasted. Real Madrid's players seem to need more encouragement to improve their game.
Osasuna is not a weak team. Osasuna knows how to defend and frustrate Madrid. Their defense is very tight, with many players packed at the back. Under these conditions, Madrid looks weak due to Osasuna's tight defense. Additionally, I believe Xabi's role is crucial in making Madrid more effective at breaking down defenses like Osasuna's. I am certain that many other teams will eventually adopt strategies to disrupt the rhythm of big clubs, as they are unable to play openly.
I always remember that the first game is always difficult. I also understand how Ancelotti is trying to change Madrid's style. So I think this process will be a long one. Because Xabi brings a new atmosphere and a new style of play. But I agree that Madrid's young players are starting to show composure, I see how Huijsen is like that.
