Pep Guardiola addressed the players on Cristiano’s team. An adjective that, while still controversial, did not quite capture the essence of Madrid in the modern era. The truth is that Simeone’s comment regarding his enduring rival—possibly without any relevance—following the agonizing victory against Feyenoord went viral. Citing players such as 34-year-olds Witsel and Azpilicueta, the red and white coach talked highly of his team’s resilience, saying, “I speak about what I think.” With the exception of Real Madrid, which possesses outstanding players and hence is able to compete exceptionally well in Europe. youths in Bellingham, Vinicius, Tchouameni, Camavinga, and Rodrygo…It obviously gives him the best opportunity to compete. I believe that every other squad is struggling. It is challenging for us, as well as challenging for Sevilla and Barcelona in previous years,” he clarified.

The local coach also emphasized this trait of the white squad a few days prior, following Real Madrid’s victory in Girona: “They are the team with the most leg in LaLiga.” It costs the world to get the ball back after you lose it. We pursued them, and as they develop, if you allow them to run and group together, they become a difficult team to take the ball away from,” he said.

Generally speaking, it is a physically and technically diverse team. Real Madrid was prepared, and Bellingham was brought in for Benzema, according to Rudi García, before the matchup with Napoli.

What is stated in the white template dataIn actuality, it’s clear that Madrid has been searching for players with high technical skills for years, but they also need to be young, physically fit, and only make exceptions for special circumstances. While it is true that Madrid’s roster (27.4) is younger on average than Atletico’s squad (27.6), Barcelona’s team (28.7) is not; the white club is where youth is most apparent in the eleven. While Barça undoubtedly has a strong commitment to its youth program, they have added two forward/midfield players—Lewandowski and this summer’s Gündogan—to their starting lineup who do not match Madrid’s profile.

It is more challenging for the rest of us Spaniards in Europe, with the exception of Madrid, which boasts exceptional young people.

Pablo Diego SimeoneWithout Modric, Valverde, who is 25, is the oldest player from midfield to forward, where the greatest physical demands are imposed. Tchouaméni and Vinicius, who are 23, are next, followed by Rodrygo, who is 22, Bellingham, and Camavinga, who are only 20. Kroos, who is 33 years old, is the sole veteran who is slipping into the eleven. The opposite is true in defense. With the exception of 25-year-old Militao, who is injured, veterans like Courtois (31), who is currently injured, Kepa (29), Carvajal (31), Mendy (28), Rüdiger (30), Alaba (31) or Lucas Vázquez (32) bear the brunt of the defense.

Beyond age, though, as Michel notes, the legs and the energy that accompanies age are what unify the Madrid eleven’s offensive equipment. Simeone also made this point. All of them are defined by strength and speed, and while they all have unique qualities, it is obvious that this is the perfect block for jogging at a fast pace.

The instance of BellinhgamThis club tendency is confirmed by the entrance of the Englishman. UEFA statistics shows that in his two Champions League games, he had covered 22.64 km and reached a top speed of 32.5 km/h. His aggressive play in the final minutes against Naples attracted notice. It’s also starting to become apparent that Vinicius has fully healed from his injuries. He is among the fastest players in Europe and the fastest in the League. In addition, he is among the football players who consistently rank well in terms of dribbles and kilometers traveled by strikers.

Everything began with Vini.And Vinicius is exactly where Real Madrid’s transformation started. Although he had a hard time adjusting, he has become one of the greatest players in world football during the past two years. Rodrygo arrived next, and was succeeded by Camavinga, Tchouaméni, and Bellingham at this point. There is a common denominator for all reinforcements.
