Is luck alone what led Real Madrid to the coronation of the Champions League title?

Whatever the point of view in the way achieved by the Real Madrid Champions League title, and whatever your assessment of the degree of success shown by Real Madrid and coach Carlo Ancelotti in the march towards the fourteenth title, but there are two facts must be acknowledged with them !.

The first is that Real Madrid became the Champions League champion, and second that this was somehow !.

Is it just luck?

There is a way that Real Madrid knew how to compensate for the technical difference staggering between him and all the teams he faced, which was common all of them working they swept Real Madrid on the pitch in every way, and then came that way coated with some success to make Real Madrid now holds the fourteenth.

Certainly there is a great role of the technical quality of some names that have formed the difference this season, Karim Benzema to Real Madrid, Tipo Courtois and Luka Modric and Vinicius Jr. were not natural at all, especially at crucial times of the Champions League.

Accompanied by the quality of great confidence in the decisions should they come by the legacy of what holds this shirt, this explanation is very comfortable because it explains many of the phenomena is incomprehensible that occurred in many games this season, but confidence also stems from the custom boss how irrigates Real Madrid and its history quietly to his players who did not trust the same day spines .. even brighter with Real Madrid spree himself there was a need permanent savior such as Cristiano Ronaldo champion.

But in addition to the technical quality, there are tactical considerations that we must look at when we talk about common denominators in which Real Madrid has been able to make up the technical difference with all its competitors since the start of the Champions League playoffs.

For example, the use of Federico Valverde genius at the crucial time of the season was his magic act in the delivery of Real Madrid to the way a lot of invisibility disadvantages.

Valverde was used by Ancelotti at crucial times of the season in a classic winger 4-4-2 plan, in turn cases Alavtkak into the middle of the fourth and rests on the right-back, and in the cases of the attack plan to turn 4-3-3 and there on the porch sending powerful balls in-depth, such as those received by Vinicius Jr. scored the most important goal of the season.

Use Valverde this way ended a headache at the head of Ancelotti catalyzing a bad level experienced by all wings Real Madrid since the first season except Venisos Jr., was not Ascencio nor Vasquez nor Hazzard nor any solution given to Ancelotti fee 4-3-3 Ideally, Worse this effect on the defensive performance of the team, Plan of 4-3-3 need Zaara side and three-central possess physical very high level, and if streamlined those names at Real Madrid: "karvajal (30 years) - Mendy (26 years) - kross (32 years) - Casimiro (30 years) - Modric (36 years). "

As you can see .. does not have any players from Real Madrid, the physical ability to stop an offensive team organizer and a young man at this rate of age and level of physical current but Mendy, the rest may turn in a moment to the physical burden on the entire team, and here it was necessary to intervene.

This is how Ancelotti managed it

Use Valverde ideal of Ancelotti to solve the problem of the lame wing, solve several problems in the midfield, doubled the number of Real Madrid players in the middle of the field, making it more powerful in the "counter-attack" to the presence of a young player, fast and have solutions in the middle of the opponent's court.

What you saw him sweep players from rivals Real Madrid have many times crucial this season was a candidate to be much more aggressive and the most violent and result in a lot of goals if you do not enter this has happened Valverde for example.

Something like that Ramos and Paran, who were losing the key elements of the defense over 10 years, resorting to Bayern multi-use David Alaba, and use it optimally.

Something like taking advantage of an early La Liga title, resting Militao and Alaba for only one match, which is the Liverpool match, although you were criticized in the Spanish press that they would lose the sensitivity of matches, but they were on time, although Liverpool penetrated Real Madrid's defenses more than once, but this It was the best that could be done to avoid big technical differences between Real Madrid and its competitors, not just Liverpool.

Something like to maintain a perfect state of stability inside the camp of Real Madrid, who say the media penetration has significantly this season, reduced unit language in press conferences, taking advantage of Bayern Munich experience where Aandt big players and found yourself outside the club !.

Many things do Ancelotti, and the second was added to a large reconcile some of its elements important, the quality of technology undeniable, the first Real Madrid Champions Champions League in 2022 for the fourth session in its history, that this - inevitably - been somehow !.
