the overwhelming image of the defense against Milan

Real Madrid in crisis! Before facing Osasuna this weekend, the Merengue certainly had to carry out more than one video session. Whether against Barça during the 4-0 humiliation in La Liga, or against AC Milan for another 3-1 setback at the Bernabeu, Madrid's defense seemed far too apathetic to resist the opposing attacks. And one action is particularly controversial in the Spanish capital. It was during the duel against the Italians on Tuesday evening.

A defense in evil

In a phase of play just before half-time, no less than seven players were completely wait-and-see on a Milanese offensive. Vinicius doesn't make the effort as Fofana finds Pulisic, Modric lets Morata break away to make a one-two. Tchouaméni, in the process of calling Vinicius to order, is then overtaken while Mendy, too wait-and-see, is surprised behind his back by Pulisic. Militao then does not oppose a real duel to Leao found on the center of the American. The Portuguese can turn around to strike. Lunin relaxes, but Morata emerges to push the ball into the back of the net. The Spanish striker is the only one moving in the area while six Real Madrid players, Tchouaméni, Valverde, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy and Lucas Vazquez are… stationary. An action which would have provoked the anger of internal leaders, as revealed by the daily Marka passivity at the center of discussions in recent days.
