In the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid was eliminated by Arsenal, Spanish legend Loncero believes that Real Madrid's biggest problem now is the lack of leadership, Mbappe can not fill the vacancy of locker room leaders. Roncero's comments are compiled below:
Real Madrid's defeat in this knockout tournament is undoubtedly a heavy blow, but also exposed the team's current problems. This defeat reinforces how difficult and great it is to win six Champions League trophies.
Before, many people thought that Real Madrid could reverse because they had too high expectations of this team and thought that they were omnipotent. But football is a game of uncertainty, and any team can lose.
From the perspective of Real Madrid's squad changes this year, the departure of Nacho, Kroos and Joselu, coupled with the absence of Carvajal and Militang, makes the team in the dressing room leadership there is a clear lack of.
Originally, the club hoped to solve these problems by bringing in Mbappe, but it proved that Mbappe's arrival could not hide the deficiencies in the team's overall balance. Of course, I am not saying that Mbappe should not be brought in, but his individual ability does not fully compensate for the shortcomings of the team in other areas.
A successful team needs to build solid foundations from the back and not just rely on the individual abilities of the stars up front. Ronaldo era of Real Madrid, C Ronaldo that kind of insatiable desire to win can motivate the whole team forward. And now Real Madrid, when the team encountered difficulties, Mbappe did not show enough leadership.
If Real Madrid wants to return to the top, it must find new leaders in the team. Just relying on stacking stars is far from enough, look at the failure of Real Madrid's last "Galaxy Battleship" experience. What the team needs is overall balance and a good understanding between the players. This game, whether away or at home, Real Madrid's front trident are performing very badly, can be said to be a complete failure.
