Real Madrid vs. Juventus at Camping World Stadium, in reverse order.
This is the new dangerousness warning system that Carlo Ancelotti received in his script following the final game of Real Madrid’s tour of the United States, complete with an alert beep and a direct message on the scoreboard (1-3). A loss to Juventus has sowed the first concern of the season: uncertainties in a defense that has allowed eight goals in the white team’s four games on the Soccer Champions Tour. The Italian coach has a lot of work ahead of him to put all the pieces of a puzzle together that looked good for much of the game… However, the scoreboard did not show this. Another game with an alarming lack of aim (8 shots on goal out of 34) that allowed the opponent to capitalize on their lethal errors and win the game. The defensive balance (and team general) is greatly affected by the American tour… a week after LaLiga begins
Failed in one of the homework
“We are going to correct what we have failed in these games,” the MARCA camera captured during the most recent training session in Dallas. Francesco Mauri was in charge of directing a practice focusing on getting the ball out, which failed again in the tour’s last game, as well as pressuring. Carlo Ancelotti’s players committed a critical error in the 50th second… and Juventus took advantage, connecting well before slotting the ball into Courtois’ goal net. A clip that reveals a failure in one of the white team’s responsibilities.
After a mistake by Modric at the outset (rare for him), McKennie crashed his effort into the post, and the rebound was gathered by Keane free of mark, allowing him to score at will. The Croatian attempted a first pass from behind, and Juventus launched a ferocious counterattack. Real Madrid fell behind 0-1 in the 50th second for the third time this preseason (after Manchester United, Barcelona, and Juventus). In four games, he scored eight goals.

Bellingham’s Despair
When a game concept is developed to revolve around a specific footballer, the most concerning indication is that same protagonist’s dissatisfaction with the system. Jude Bellingham, who continues to give away shares identical to those signed by Zidane in his day, does not end up enjoying a position that does not allow him to enter the ball consistently to this day. Real Madrid’s ‘5’ has resurrected a defunct position in modern football (possibly for a reason) in order to fit into Ancelotti’s strategy for the 2023/24 season. Some tests have loaded the English footballer with minutes, which he used to finish the entire game against Juventus.
After understanding that the ball is not reaching him clearly, the English midfielder is compelled to go down to receive in locations that do not bother the opponent out of desperation. Instead of receiving from behind midfielders, Jude equals his colleagues in height… making the opponent’s defense easier. However, one positive point from the summer testing is that when he has received in critical places, the way he shapes up with his control allows him to break lines due to his intelligence. A strong initial touch, followed by a beautiful twist… allowed him to take Juventus by surprise on multiple occasions. And it is Jude who makes all of his teammates great… However, they must first locate him on the pitch.

Is it crazy to say that Vini is Top 1 in the world?
Vinicius is an all-around performer. A booming declaration that does not allow for debate in gatherings of journalists (of any medium) or in discussions between fans in the bars of the bars. After his first years at Real Madrid, the Brazilian superstar accomplished the unthinkable: he reached the Top 3 in the world with a cruising speed worthy of study. Now, we find the discussion when we want to find the King, a crown that Vinicius can / wants to opt for thanks to a unique transformation.
“The player like to play more on the inside. He makes an impact on the outside, but he can score more goals on the inside. I don’t know if he had those scoring chances playing on the outside, although he’s still the best there,” Ancelotti said in the press conference prior to the match against Juventus. As a winger, he is incisive, dangerous and ‘exhausting’ for a defense that never understands how he can strike on rival soil without lowering the intensity at any time. And with the 4-4-2, the Brazilian has expanded his records to create doubt about a title that he is still hunting for. Plus, despite his frequent physical exertion, he appears to be indestructible (no injuries).
Three times in the first 16 minutes of play. Vini associates, moves freely, and destroys the opponent by playing the unknown. There is no more difficult opponent to defend against than one who can surprise you with his wide spectrum of danger. And it is that the rivals that face Vinicius have ahead of them to avoid one of the ‘deaths’ of the famous television series ‘1000 Ways to Die’. With his goal, Vinicius conquered the hearts of the fans who packed the stands of the Camping World Stadium, some who stood up every time the Brazilian grabbed the ball, aware of the fear it causes in rival defenses, thanks to a calm in the final meters that he has perfected over time. The tranquility to which O phenomenon Ronaldo was always subscribed.

The errors of direct… and ignorance
The public address system of Camping World Stadium provided the match anecdote. The songs that brightened the wait for the infernal Orlando sun (thermal sensation of 44o for much of the game) were loved by the 63,503 people who practically filled the stands of the abandoned stadium. Despite perfectly completing the duty of DJ… the hymn part was difficult for the person in charge of the public address system. To everyone’s amazement and chagrin, the anthem that rang out during Juventus’ opening goal was that of Real Madrid. A complete lack of knowledge for a sport that does not have a large following in the city of Orlando. At 2-0, the live error was remedied, and the hymn selection was appropriate for the enjoyment of Juventus fans, who were in the minority in the stadium.
