First, adapt to new attack methods. At the beginning of this season, Real Madrid went to Juventus because of Cristiano Ronaldo and couldn't score for 480 minutes in a row. But the most important reason is that after that, Real Madrid changed its new attack mode. Since Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid in 2009, the attack has become simple and effective. But this season, for Real Madrid players, especially strikers, they must change their habits.
Second, there is not enough rest after the World Cup. According to British media reports, 52 of the 84 Premier League players who participated in the World Cup knockout have been injured. Although La Liga does not participate, the stronger the team, the more players will participate in the World Cup knockout.
The third is the injury of Real Madrid players. Anyone who has seen this injury list will be surprised. Marcelo pulled a muscle in his right calf in September. And just a few days later, Lavahar was also injured. It never rains but it pours. Two weeks ago, casemiro sprained his ankle, which is the only defensive midfielder in Real Madrid. Taken together, these factors are the main reasons for Real Madrid's mediocre performance this season.
