We have too many players who come towards the ball/are ball magnets, rather than staying in their zones. This has been the issue at Real last season as well.

Meaning we have to dominate games in order to create chances. When we aren& #39;t able to do that, we struggle.

1/n

Dominating doesn& #39;t necessarily mean more ball possession on paper. It& #39;s pushing back the opposition out of their zones whilst also creating situations out of these.

All of our best games last season were those which we dominated games. No coincidence – This is a pattern.

2/n

It& #39;s always good to have these kind of players in a team. They help progress the ball with ease and help in possession; especially in a possession oriented side.

But too many of ball to feet / ball magnets compromise space, width and positioning.

3/n

Despite coached methods by Zidane (like we& #39;ve seen in previous games), it& #39;s these players& #39; natural instinct to have the ball to feet.

It works when we are running the game, but we are asked to chase one, it descends into chaos.

Something to work on.
