Teams have been struggling against Madrid because they have no set patterns of play against Big teams. No cute intricate passes, no extensive wing play, but really trying to beat teams on the counter while they absorb pressure in defense. Attacking transitions is where they make their money and how they took us apart. They don’t even press that much so it’s hilarious how defenders keep messing up against them. Credit to Benzema for being so clinical too and scoring from even half chances. Ancelotti also doesn’t seem to give player instructions often and trusts them to do the job. It’s like watching Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham side.
