In the wake of the new slap received by Real Madrid against AC Milan, Lucas Vazquez insisted on the need to defend as a team…
There is fire at Real Madrid. Ten days after the humiliation experienced against Barça in La Liga, Real Madrid, who did not play this weekend due to the disaster that struck Valencia, followed up with a 3-1 defeat against Milan AC in the Champions League. Enough to trigger a crisis among the Merengue and place Carlo Ancelotti's back against the wall while the Madrid giant has a meeting at Liverpool the next day.
Rare Madrilenian to have spoken at the end of the meeting, Lucas Vazquez easily recognized the difficulties experienced by the Merengue. “It was a complicated match. They took the lead early in the game, but we quickly equalized and before half-time they scored this goal, while we were more in control of the game. We tried to reverse the situation but on a counter-attack, they made the break. We are in a moment where we are being punished by the adversary. We must continue to work so that this does not happen again,” he confided to the microphone of Movistar+.
Kylian Mbappé poses a problem
And the Merengue right-back took the opportunity to call for collective awareness on the need to defend as a team after the journalist mentioned the nine goals conceded in the last three matches. “It’s a number that hurts, he said. But defending like attacking is a collective thing. This must be emphasized. We will get through this together. We have to raise our heads and continue to work, the season is very long and Madrid will fight until the end.”
And for many analysts, his comments were aimed in particular at Kylian Mbappé, whose lack of defensive efforts has been debated for several days. Once again, the French striker was the Madrid player who ran the least among the Madrilenians and his passivity in the first pressing would begin to annoy more and more his teammates like Carlo Ancelotti…
