The year 2019 did not accept that the end of Real Madrid except in a very bad way, to close the team one of the worst years in history in all respects, technical stability, results, players, coaches, goals …
Only one goal in the last 270 minutes only indicates the failure of the offensive “revolution” that Zinedine Zidane wanted since his return to the team, to compensate for the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, wholesale opportunities on the opponent’s goal without translating it properly.
Two years have passed since Ronaldo’s departure to Juventus and Real Madrid is still suffering, still looking for the appropriate alternative, for the right goalscorer that does not stop no matter what happens, no matter how difficult the team faces, the machine remains working 24 on 24, 7 days a week.
Last season, Sergio Ramos saved his team more than once with his headings, he was decisive in many games, to become the top scorer for the real team, but even this “characteristic” Real lost this season.
Ramos’ headers were absent in the difficult time, Benzema’s advanced level this season does not help the team, Gareth Bell is absent as usual, Vinicius Junior wastes bulk balls in front of goal, as usual, the absence of more than one influential player for injury such as Belgian Eden Hazard, disappointment from Luca Jovic … Many problems and solutions are almost non-existent.
After Sunday’s match against Athletic Bilbao, Zidane confirmed that his team does not need a striker and things are under control, and which team goes through these conditions to return to registration, this is normal for the French coach, but …
In front of Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, Real owned the ball, made its soccer players, penetrated the opponent’s stadium and threatened the goal more than once without any result. Real Madrid, in two different configurations, did everything except register.
Real Madrid finished 2019 with just 100 goals, the worst number in the last ten years. The team has not reached 30 wins this year for the first time since 2008. For the first time in its history in La Liga, that is, 90 years ago, the team reaches the winter round, which is 0-0 in 4 games (Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao ).
Does the team really not need a striker? Many of the team’s fans put their hopes in the new striker Luca Jovic, the Brazilians Vinicius and Rodrigo in addition to Hazard … and they were disappointed. The first does not score, the Brazilian duo have not reached the required scoring level yet and the third is a warrior from injury.
Real Madrid has already experienced a difficult period in 2019, starting and ending in the worst ways. But on the other hand, the team has a distinguished group of young players who are already able to make a difference, despite the offensive infertility, there are many positives on the team now.
The development is clear on the performance of the team, and this was evident in the last two games. Had it not been for the difficulty of scoring, Real would have been the leader in the league now, 3 points behind Barcelona. The team owns the initiative, and despite scoring one last goal in the last three games, he has fired nearly 56 times on goal, and luck has stood in front of him in many of these balls.
Today Real is in second place behind the Catalan team with two points, and it is clear that he will enter next year with one goal, which is an offensive development after his defense and his midfield developed significantly, and here we note that he did not enter the Real goal only 12 goals after 18 rounds, for the first time since the 1987 season 1988.
