With just over a week to go before their LaLiga debut, Real Madrid returns to Spain with a long list of worries and pending tasks. The tour of the United States has left many conclusions and many of them are not positive

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Real Madrid has given by finalised his turns of pre-season by United States with feelings found and a balance, if it wants , negative. Two defeats and two triumphs have been sufficient so that Carlo Ancelotti begin to take out conclusions of face to the debut in LaLiga EA Sports, the next 12 August in Saint Mamés. It has to change a lot his approach and, maybe, show his version more 'conservative' with the 4-3-3. The team, especially in front of the FC Barcelona and the Juventus, suffered too much in the centre of the field with the rhombus.

It was a plan fallido of the trainer of Reggiolo that 'descompensó' to the mediocampistas and that forced, for example, to Vinicius Jr to play much more centred. More than what would like him. Although it is true that equally took part, generated danger and turned into a quebradero of head for his defenders, in addition to annotating two goals, to the Brazilian no saw him comfortable. It needs a new complement in the attack, after the exit of Karim Benzema, and Joselu (or the attempts with Rodrygo of '9') do not seem to be sufficient. Against the 'Vecchia Signora' monopolised the attack and was the positive note, but is not sufficient.

And it is that to the Real Madrid is missing him goal, more than the account. They have left of United States with six goals turned into four parties, but with an infinity of finish that it leaves clear that are not especially hit in the last pass. Without going further, in the last two parties signed 63 finish with an only goal, the one of Vini to the Juventus. The occasions are, but has cost them more than the account define in rival field and have seen very prejudiced.

The defensive drama of the Real Madrid, once again

Convert six goals in four parties would not be badly if the Real Madrid had not showed his more fragile version to defensive level. They closed it turns it with eight goals fit in three parties. Only against the Manchester United left the goal to zero, but of rest were two against the AC Milan and three in front of the Juventus and Barça. In the last clash, in fact, the Italians needed less than a minute to take advantage of of a bad exit of balloon and plant in the area.

Ancelotti Has taken advantage of for rotar to his head offices, but the conclusion always has been the same: further of the protagonists, the team is suffering collectively in the shrinkings and labelings. In front of the means, recognised that "we are not accustomed to this defensive fragility. The defensive appearance it is necessary to improve it, have fit a lot of goals against. It has been missing balance and need to fix it. It is an easy problem to solve. Go down a bit the block can be a solution".

The Madrid, to time trial

Any one that was the solution, the technician madridista has to change the script of the Madrid as soon as possible. Already in the season happened the defensive grantings punished him in LaLiga, by what repeat the history would be unforgivable. Has little more than a week to find a remedy... And see if fichan to a player that can mark the difference of face to the rival goal.
