Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man.

As Barcelona was eliminated by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, all four La Liga teams participating in the Champions League this season have been eliminated.

（瓦伦西亚在1/8决赛被亚特兰大淘汰、皇家马德里在1/8决赛被曼城淘汰、马德里竞技在1/4决赛被莱比锡红牛淘汰、巴塞罗那在1/4决赛被拜仁慕尼黑淘汰）。

The "La Liga era" jointly created by Real Madrid and Barcelona came to an early end.

Many fans are very confused: it is an indisputable fact that Barcelona's personnel are aging, and their elimination by Bayern Munich was actually expected by many people (but the score was a bit unexpected).

Looking back at Real Madrid, they have been the team with the most investment in world football in the past two transfer windows. Why has Los Blancos' record not only not improved significantly, but also stopped in the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons?

The reason is still the commonplace topic: Real Madrid in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era is still in confusion.

Let’s first take a look at the signings of the Galaxy giant after Ronaldo left: In the 2018~2019 season, Real Madrid invested a total of 1.56 million euros in the transfer market.

其中引进维尼修斯花费了4500万欧元、引进库尔图瓦花费了3500万欧元、引进奥德里佐拉花费了3000万欧元、引进马里亚诺花费了2150万欧元。时间来到2019~2020赛季，表现不佳的皇家马德里为了提升战绩在转会市场上进一步加大了投入。

他们在两个转会窗口共投入了高达3.18亿欧元，引进了阿扎尔（1.15亿欧元）、约维奇（6000万欧元）、米利唐（5000万欧元）、门迪（4800万欧元）以及罗德里戈（4500万欧元）。

Taking into account various major signings in the two seasons, Real Madrid spent a total of 4.74 million euros, but very few of these players can really help the team's offense and defense.

On the defensive end, Belgium national goalkeeper Courtois, who previously played for Chelsea, has firmly established himself as the main goalkeeper and continues to make wonderful saves on the goal line to save the team.

It can be said that the introduction of Courtois is a great value for Real Madrid.

But what is regrettable is that of Real Madrid's signings in the past two seasons, only Courtois can be worthy of the word "super value".

In addition to Courtois, the main positions of Militao and Mendy are not stable. Another full-back, Odriozola, was loaned to Bayern Munich in the winter window of the 2019~2020 season (he received the Opportunities to play are also few).

Of course, in order to make up for the fact that Ronaldo's offensive ability declined after Ronaldo left, Real Madrid's main recruitment direction is still on the striker.

The Vinicius, Mariano, and Rodrigo they have introduced in the past two seasons are all potential players. Among them, Mariano failed to fulfill his talent in the French League after arriving at the Bernabeu Stadium, and his overall performance has never met people's expectations. expected.

Both Vinicius and Rodrigo have very distinctive personal technical characteristics, but considering their young age, they are not yet able to fully provoke the offensive backbone of Los Blancos in a short period of time.

If there are many bright spots in the performances of Vinicius and Rodrygo, then the help brought by the two signings with the highest transfer fees-Hazard and Jovic is really unflattering. .

While playing for Chelsea in the Premier League and Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, Hazard and Jovic became one of the most sought-after forwards in their respective leagues.

However, both of them were acclimated after arriving in Real Madrid. The former missed most of the team's games last season due to injuries, while the latter's development trajectory was completely different from the expectations of Real Madrid's management. .

The poor state and endless off-field negative news have made Los Blancos more and more interested in selling Jovic.

Taken together, the fact that the offensive signings are not effective has indeed greatly hindered Real Madrid's performance in the European competition in the past two seasons.

But from another perspective, even if the performance of these new players does not meet people's expectations, their original lineup is still not as thick as a "Champions League 16th".

Combined with more qualities and tactical play, Real Madrid's decline in Champions League results in the past two seasons is actually due to many reasons.

How does Real Madrid fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo?

In addition, Solari also realized the impact of Modric's positional conditions on the interception hardness of Real Madrid's midfield. He retreated the Croatian international to a parallel position with Kroos, Real Madrid's classic midfielder. The three-man stance returns.

In terms of tactics, although Solari denied the slow passing and control during the Lopetegui period, he only made some minor repairs on the basis of his predecessor, and did not completely innovate the tactics of Los Blancos.

It is believed that they have made efforts in two aspects in recent years:

First, the team spends a lot of money to introduce many strong players in an attempt to enhance its paper strength in a short period of time;

Second, through internal exploration and changing the playing styles of certain main players, the purpose of presenting a new tactical pattern is achieved.

In the 2018~2019 season (the first season after Ronaldo left), the Portuguese's No. 1 jersey was inherited by Dominican star Mariano.

The latter represented Lyon in 2017 appearances in various competitions during the 2018-45 season, scoring 21 goals and 5 assists. He is a thigh-level player in the team.

After returning to Real Madrid, the high-spirited Mariano withstood huge pressure from public opinion and won Ronaldo's No. 7 jersey, which also proved his determination to copy Ronaldo's success.

People say that Ronaldo is strong, and people say that Ronaldo scores many goals. So where is Ronaldo strong? Why can Ronaldo score so many goals?

His outstanding personal abilities and extremely hard-working attitude on the field naturally occupy a very important link, but his core tactical strategies and unique playing methods also play an indispensable role in this.

In Ronaldo's last three seasons with Real Madrid, Real Madrid scored a total of 310 goals, and Ronaldo scored a total of 86 times, accounting for 28% of the team's goals.

Ronaldo's high number of goals is not accidental. He also has the most shots in the Real Madrid team:

The average number of shots per game accounts for 39% of the team's total shots.

Judging from the tactical board, Ronaldo plays more of the left winger position in the 433 formation under Zidane (this is also the position he is most familiar with).

When the team is in an offensive state, Ronaldo will not stay on the left for a long time. The Portuguese superstar often uses the flexibility of his position to move into the center to form a frontal impact on the opponent's goal.

In order to create more opportunities for Ronaldo to receive the ball, Real Madrid's center Benzema will not stay in the center for a long time. Instead, he will actively pull to the wings or midfield area and use his organizational ability to provide C Ronaldo with more opportunities to receive the ball. Luo delivers artillery shells.

By the 2017~2018 season, Real Madrid's main lineup has changed.

In order to get Ronaldo closer to the goal and make up for the Portuguese veteran's physical decline due to age, Zidane removed a right winger and transformed the team's 433 formation into a 442 diamond midfielder. Ronaldo and Benzema formed a double striker.
