Real - When “The Best” becomes “The Worst“

"The Worst"

After just 39 minutes, Los Blancos were 3 goals down thanks to a brace from Andre Silva and Wissam Ben Yedder. No one could recognize this as the back line of the 3-time Champions League winners.

Real's centre-backs are having major problems with positioning and covering each other in counter-attack situations. Full-backs Marcelo and Nacho often push too high up the pitch, leaving the space behind them open to exploitation.

Real's defense was powerless to stop Jesus Navas from using his incredible speed and combining with the strikers. That was the source of the goals conceded and countless other dangerous situations towards Real's goal during the match.

After Ronaldo left, Benzema was considered Real Madrid's top scorer. The French striker also proved his importance when he scored regularly in the first 5 rounds to bring victory to Real.

But in the away match at Sevilla, Benzema showed his usual poor form. In 59 minutes on the pitch, he only touched the ball 30 times, firing one shot that missed the target. That's it.

Not only that, but Madrid's attack, apart from Benzema, lacked sharpness. The aim of the Spanish royal team's players was completely off when approaching Sevilla's goal.

They fired 21 shots at Sevilla's goal, all of which failed. Real were too strong for the Ramon Sánchez Pizjuan home team. In the end, "The Best" became "The Worst", from best to worst.

New coach Lopetegui cannot be blameless. He had a good start, with 13 points after 5 rounds, equal to the achievements of Jose Mourinho and Zidane in the seasons when Real Madrid won La Liga. However, when it came time to rotate players, Real were in trouble. Dani Carvajal, for example, played 6 consecutive matches since the European Super Cup and 2 matches for the Spanish team without rest. The consequence was an injury that made him miss the last 2 matches. When Casemiro was rested, Toni Kroos and Modric were immediately crushed by the majority of players in Sevilla's midfield in the 3-5-2 formation.

Speed

On the contrary, the home team's Ben Yedder-Andre Silva duo played very well. Since the beginning of the season, striker Andre Silva has scored 4 goals and 1 assist after 4 matches for Sevilla. Meanwhile, Andre Silva also played well in his first season playing in Spain when he scored 6 goals after 6 matches.

And this pair is helping Sevilla reach incredible heights despite never having played together before. The ability to understand the intentions of their teammates has helped this duo have a strange understanding. With this pair, Sevilla has a great chance to finish in the top 4 of La Liga this season.

Losing 0-3 to Sevilla, but Real still has some luck because their opponent Barca fell to Leganes. But if they don't quickly recover, they will have difficulty in the El derbi Madrileno match this weekend. Remember Atletico Madrid - a team that plays counter-attacks well and is currently ranked among the best in Europe.
