| well oiled machine |
Real Madrid were poetry in motion with Modric and Kroos in midfield.The Croat's injury set the alarm bells ringing, but after the game against Eibar it is clear that the 'Los Blancos' goal machine is running like clockwork, and also has the advantage that you can change out some of the pieces and its precision does not falter.
There is no more room for the debates over the system or the best players to fit into the formation. Ancelotti reverted to a 4-3-3 after the classic 4-4-2 had been imposed by an absolute majority.
Real dominated possession with a new face in the position where Modric used to play. It was none other than Isco, who is determined to triumph with 'Los Blancos' no matter how many obstacles are placed in his path.
The Spaniard stepped into Khedira's shoes and worked just as hard, if not harder, managing to steal 12 balls. In addition, he showed his class at holding onto the ball and distributing it via the correct channels, supported by Toni Kroos, who by the looks of things is set to achieve much greater things than his predecessor in the position, Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid have hit cruise speed and it appears that no amount of turbulence is going to throw them off course.
Ancelotti's side have scored in every game and all of their victories have been by a margin of more than one goal.
