It was a treat and a pleasure to watch the young Villareal squad play such open, attacking and exciting football. They ( Villareal ) took Madrid's defence apart at will and if Lady Luck was on Villareal's side tonight, they would have won by atleast 3 goals.
Ancelotti where was Madrid's defence? The left flank was totally exposed and vulnerable to Villareal's frequent attacks. Madrid's defence couldn't keep up with the speed nor anticipate nor guard the marauding Villareal forwards. Nacho was terrible and in my mind ( and I have said this earlier ) Sergio Ramos will soon be sent off for some very serious tackles.
Thank God for Diego Lopez. Had it not been for Diego, Madrid would have suffered a humiliating defeat.
Further when you do an analysis of the match, I would like to question the Madrid forward line. The only two times Madrid attacked, they scored their two goals. Why could not Madrid create more opportunities of goal? There is no point in passing the ball around in the mid field without taking the ball up the field and creating scoring opportunities.
Carlo Ancelotti you are now TWO points behind Athletico Madrid and Barcelona. If you want to be able to compete, you have to start thinking about your two weaknesses and put your house in order.
Defence and Strikers.
Defence and Strikers.
These are not new problem areas. I have been mentioning them in every Blog over and over again.
You have to improve.
If Madrid cannot beat a newly promoted side, who can they beat in the Primera?
Well done Villareal.
Atleast football the " beautiful game " is in good hands in Spain.
The match saw the debut of Gareth Bale and he scored his first goal for the Club. Unfortunately he couldn't come away with all three points.
