The tactics and strategies of the game of Real Madrid

The Real Madrid hare tiempo que no game has a definite pattern. Its instability on the bench, with nine coaches in the past six years, responded also tastes very different football, it has prevented. Technical and Queiroz, Camacho, Luxembourg, Capello and Schuster are completely different, if not opposed in their understanding of this sport.

For the campaign relied on Manuel Pellegrini. Placed at their disposal in all-star cast that has yet to get all the juice you can give, so the criticism, some of them fierce, have not been slow to appear. Pellegrini tried to establish a style of play based on the possession of the ball and the game combined. Usually played with a four-man defense (Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo or Albiol and Arbeloa) with lateral bands take charge of attacking a center of the field with a double pivot of containment that is lavished little in attack (Lass Diarra and Xabi Alonso), two half points that tend to get to the center to vacate the side rails (Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka) and two forwards with very mobile makers open opposition defenses (Higuain and Benzema).

This style of play has earned him at Villarreal. Now at Real Madrid it is more complicated. This team is used to play arreones, in waves without worrying unduly about play a game of combination. Many times its great figures are charged with breaking singles matches played without the team game especially shines. Neither before nor now Pellegrini, Real Madrid is characterized by pushing the opponent when he has the ball, they just wait there in your field to force a fumble allowing them to mount a deadly counterattack with its skilled and fast players.
