As: Real Madrid no longer rely too much on Vinicius, but gradually moves closer to Mastantono on the right
Recently, the Ass talked about Alonso's tactics. They said that Real Madrid's offense no longer relies too much on Vinicius, but gradually moved closer to Mastantono on the right.
In each game, as Alonso's tactics gradually emerged, he became increasingly inclined to reduce his left offense and no longer rely on Vinicius as he did last season. Last season, Vinicius took on up to 70% of the left offensive task at some moments, while Real Madrid now hopes to have a more balanced offensive system.
In the game against Espanyol, Mastantono's performance became more and more eye-catching, and the team also sought his help more and more. In this game, he even surpassed Vinicius. He completed more outs (6 vs 3), more crosses (2 vs 0), more touches (70 vs 58) and more passes (45 vs 39).
This phenomenon does not only occur against Espanyol. In the away game against Real Sociedad, according to OPTA data, the proportion of attacks launched by the team from the right is slightly higher than that of the left, at 34.9% and 34.7% respectively.
In addition, the hot map of the game against Espanyol shows that Vinicius and Mastantono have almost reached a perfect balance of activities on the left and right sides, rather than overly relying on Vinicius as they did last season.
Mastantono's performance on the right is more bold than Rodrigo last season, a role worth further exploration and exploitation, especially after Bellingham's return, which may change the current plans for Real Madrid in the 2025/26 season.
In addition, Bellingham's return may push Guerre to the right, who has shown good abilities, scoring two goals and having an assist, which also provides another offensive means for the right.
