In the third round of the Spanish King's Cup, Real Madrid has certainly given Minella a lesson. In this match, Real Madrid crushed their opponents with an overwhelming 5-0 scoreline, easily advancing to the next round in what can only be described as a "domination" with no suspense whatsoever. From the outset, Real Madrid demonstrated their formidable strength, with the players leaving Minella with hardly any opportunity to counterattack. It was truly a classic case of "dimensional reduction strike." The match started with Real Madrid quickly finding the net. In the 5th minute, Dias' cross was mis-cleared by the Minella defender, and Valverde, standing in front of the goal like a rabbit waiting to be caught, easily scored with a single kick, putting Real Madrid ahead 1-0. This was Valverde's first goal in the King's Cup, and his smile bloomed as well, indicating that this goal had put him in a great mood. Real Madrid continued to unleash their firepower in the following game. In the 13th minute, Fran Garcia delivered a precise cross, and Camavinga leapt high at the back post, heading the ball into the net, quickly expanding the score to 2-0 for Real Madrid. This goal was not only Camavinga's personal achievement but also marked the second time since 1989 that Real Madrid had scored two goals within just 13 minutes of an away game in the King's Cup. It was as if Minella had no response, and it seemed as though they were already gasping for breath at the start of the match. However, Real Madrid's…

After Deschamps announced that he would leave the team after the 2026 World Cup, journalist Duroc from L'Équipe wrote, "This is a beautiful decision and a good opportunity for the French team!" Why are French media happy about Deschamps' departure after coaching the French team for 14 years? Became a Target After the European Championship After the French Football Federation announced the renewal of the contract with the French team in 2023, this decision triggered huge controversy. When asked if they had considered Zidane, French Football Federation President Le Graët said, "We have never considered letting Deschamps leave. Zidane will definitely not coach the French team, and I won't even answer his call." Le Graët's remarks aroused public outrage, and French Sports Minister Castella even said, "Such disrespectful remarks are too disgraceful, offending this football legend and all of us." At the same time, Le Graët's remarks also put more pressure on Deschamps. However, France's performance at the 2024 European Championship was quite mediocre, ending in the semi-finals, while the French team only scored 4 goals in 6 European Championship matches, including 2 own goals and 1 penalty kick, creating a new low in international tournament goal scoring in 12 years. With attacking players such as Mbappé, Griezmann, Mouani, and Dembélé, the French team averaged only 9.5 shots per game, far lower than other title contenders. After the European Cup elimination, L'Équipe pointed out, "Deschamps' conservative tactics are outdated, and the French team needs to change." In fact, at the post-match press conference, a reporter sharply asked, "Your contract still…

For the French team, not being able to win the championship in the last two major events has indeed had a significant impact. As a top-tier powerhouse, they have always been one of the favorites to win both the European Cup and the World Cup. However, due to some coaching and tactical issues with Deschamps, the French team is now unable to win again. This situation also puts great pressure on Deschamps and the internal of the French team. But now it seems that both sides will take a new strategy. Currently, the French team's head coach Deschamps has also announced that he will step down, and even the high-level political figures in France have asked Deschamps about his resignation. Now it seems that Deschamps leaving is the best opportunity for Zidane. Before, Mbappe and Deschamps had a fierce argument, so this time the French team changing coaches is obviously a very wise decision. Since there is a conflict between the team leader and the head coach, it is also necessary to find a new head coach to stabilize the unity of the team and resolve internal conflicts. Zidane, as a superstar in the French football world who retired and became a famous coach, led Real Madrid to achieve three consecutive Champions League titles, so it is completely understandable for Real Madrid to invite Zidane to coach. Zidane taking over this billion-dollar giant will become a strong contender for the World Cup title. With a large number of talented players, plus superstars like Mbappe who are among the top three…

Why is Real Madrid interested in Newcastle's star striker, Alexander Isak, despite already having Kylian Mbappé on their team? Does the Swedish forward have what it takes to carry the weight of Real Madrid's attacking line? Or is there a deeper meaning behind this move by the club's management? In the world of top-tier football clubs, competition extends beyond the field, and the rumors surrounding Real Madrid's pursuit of Isak may be signaling concerns about Mbappé's future with the team. Isak's journey to the top has not been one of instant stardom but rather a testament to his solid and consistent development. Starting his career at AIK Solna in Sweden, he quickly gained attention for his impressive physical attributes and sharp goal-scoring instincts, earning him the nickname "Swedish Ibrahimović." However, it's important to note that while the media enjoys labeling players, Isak's style differs from Ibrahimović's – less brash, more composed, and team-oriented. After being signed by Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Isak faced challenges due to his young age and the competitive environment at the club. Despite this, he did not let setbacks define him and instead moved to La Liga, joining Real Sociedad, where he proved himself through a series of goals. His career trajectory is nothing short of inspiring, transitioning from a fringe player at a big club to a consistent goal scorer. At Newcastle United, Isak's performance reached new heights. This season, he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in just 17 Premier League matches, demonstrating not only remarkable efficiency but also a penchant for delivering…

As a top team in the world of football, the French national team has always been a focus of attention. However, a rather unexpected event has recently occurred: the head coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps, has announced his resignation. This sudden announcement by Deschamps came as a surprise to many, especially after he was not able to lead the French team to victory in the World Cup and European Championship. Despite this, the French Football Federation chose to renew his contract and give him another chance. It now appears that Deschamps, under pressure, has made the decision to step down. Fans who have followed the internal drama within the French team will know that Deschamps had a fierce conflict with Kylian Mbappé. In previous training rosters for the French team, Deschamps did not include Mbappé in two consecutive lists. This led to Mbappé expressing his dissatisfaction publicly and openly falling out with Deschamps. He stated that if Deschamps were to continue coaching, he would not return to play for the French national team. The French Football Federation found themselves at a loss, unable to find a good solution to resolve the conflict between the two. With Deschamps' departure, it seems that Mbappé's strategy has succeeded, and the French team will now be looking for a new coach. Zinedine Zidane is naturally the frontrunner for the position, as he has been resting at home and waiting for the opportunity to take over the French team. This time, Mbappé also supports him taking over the French team. Together, they will…

In the first game of the new year, Real Madrid won cleanly against Valencia, securing the top spot on the leaderboard with a comeback victory. This is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, as who wouldn't enjoy seeing their team at the top of the standings? However, a closer look reveals that this victory was not as glorious as the score suggests. Vinicius Junior (referred to as Vinicius) was sent off with a red card due to an impulsive act, shifting the focus from the win to an "incident," and even sparking internal strife in the locker room after the match. Behind this, the role of Kylian Mbappé is particularly intriguing. Vinicius' red card, Mbappé's "advice," and the potential major cleanup at Real Madrid have all come together to create a "palace drama" within the football world. During the match, Mbappé repeatedly tried to dissuade Vinicius from losing control of his emotions. Many see this behavior as a display of leadership, as it takes courage to step up and prevent a teammate from acting impulsively in such tense moments. However, there seems to be more to his actions and subsequent statements. According to reports, Mbappé publicly stated after the game that he hopes the club will sell Vinicius. His reasoning sounds reasonable – the team needs more stable and reliable players. However, external interpretations are not so simple. Some analysts believe that this is Mbappé taking the opportunity to push out Vinicius and consolidate his position as the core of Real Madrid. After all, since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has been…

Real Madrid has experienced multiple internal conflicts this season, with the issue of penalty kick takers being a focal point of attention. Initially, Vinicius was designated as the team's penalty taker by Real Madrid. However, due to Mbappe's subpar performance and statistics at the beginning of the season, the club decided to accommodate him by allowing him to take penalties. Mbappe missed crucial penalties in previous Champions League matches and also in league games, which severely impacted his confidence, leading to reluctance in continuing as the penalty taker. This is when the assertive Bellingham stepped up to take penalties recently. However, he too missed a penalty during a match against Valencia, resulting in Real Madrid missing three out of their last four penalties. This situation greatly displeased coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is keen on finding a reliable penalty taker to prevent the team from wasting such opportunities. Consequently, an internal meeting at Real Madrid will decide on a designated penalty taker. Despite this, Mbappe is still unwilling to relinquish the privilege he fought hard to obtain and wishes to continue taking penalties. However, Ancelotti has issued a final ultimatum, insisting that Real Madrid must choose a definitive penalty taker. The coach is primarily considering reinstating Vinicius as the first-choice penalty taker for Real Madrid. Vinicius had previously been the primary penalty taker and played a key role in securing the UEFA Champions League title last season. To reward Vinicius, Ancelotti wants to make this decision, although it is certain that Mbappe and Bellingham will be unhappy. Nonetheless, they will need…

A thrilling match unfolded in the La Liga as Real Madrid faced off against Valencia in a make-up game for the 12th round. Real Madrid has not had a particularly impressive season so far, with only 12 wins out of 18 league games, suffering 2 losses and drawing 4 times. This record has placed them in a fierce battle for the championship. In this crucial make-up game, they faced Valencia, a team struggling in the relegation zone. In their last three encounters, Real Madrid had one win, one draw, and one loss. However, this time, they managed an incredible comeback to secure all three points. Real Madrid lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Kylian Mbappe leading the attack. Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo were the attacking trio, while Federico Valverde and Dani Ceballos formed the double pivot in midfield. Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and Lucas Vázquez started as the four defenders, with Thibaut Courtois in goal. Eduardo Camavinga, Marco Asensio, Borja Mayoral, and Luka Modrić were on standby on the bench. Valencia started the game with a sharp offensive, creating several chances. However, it was not until the 27th minute that they capitalized on their opportunities when Hugo Duro scored after a rebound from a shot by Héctor Hernández. Despite Real Madrid's efforts to respond more aggressively in the second half, they found themselves trailing 0-1 at halftime. They had 64% possession and 12 shots, but only three were on target, failing to score. Valencia, on the other hand, had seven shots, five on target, scoring…

Since joining Real Madrid this season, Mbappe has not performed at the top level that everyone expected, and there have been many rumors about changes in his future. As a top European powerhouse, Real Madrid cannot give Mbappe unlimited opportunities to exercise himself. They have also been looking for someone who can be a stable center forward for the team, and this time the target of Real Madrid has been exposed. Real Madrid wants to bring in the striker Isaac, who has shone in the Premier League this season. As a forward from La Liga's Real Sociedad, Isaac has maintained a very high level since joining Newcastle. This season, he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 17 Premier League games, which made many top clubs want to sign this central forward at the peak. Currently, Newcastle's asking price for Isaac has reached 150 million euros because they spent 70 million euros buying Isaac from Real Sociedad. Now that Isaac has realized his ability and talent, the asking price is naturally not low. Fans familiar with Real Madrid's signings in those years should also remember that Real Madrid asked about Isaac at that time. But considering signing Haaland later, Real Madrid finally did not choose to take away Isaac. But now Haaland is quite happy playing for Manchester City, so Real Madrid also wants to pursue Isaac. Isaac is a player with a big heart who gets stronger when facing strong opponents. This season, he has played at a top level against the big six teams, earning him a…

This La Liga match saw Real Madrid engage in a highly passionate contest. During the game, despite Vinicius being sent off and Bellingham failing to convert a penalty, Bellingham ultimately managed to score a lob shot in the dying moments to secure victory for Real Madrid. The match also made it clear that the internal leadership battle within Real Madrid has come to an end. In this game, Mbappe created a penalty but chose to give up the opportunity to take it. Bellingham stepped up to take the penalty but was unfortunately disturbed by the opposing goalkeeper and missed the crucial goal, nearly costing Real Madrid the win. However, Bellingham eventually resolved the match with his individual ability. This also made fans realize that Bellingham is indeed the future star of Real Madrid. In his first season with the club, Bellingham has shown remarkable performance, with his value skyrocketing to 180 million euros. Initially this season, due to the need to adapt to Mbappe's presence, Bellingham continuously gave up his offensive opportunities. Fortunately, he has recently rediscovered himself and once again produced impressive statistics. Mbappe has also completely submitted to Bellingham this time, realizing that it is unlikely for him to become the top player within Real Madrid. At this point, actively giving up his position and building a good relationship with Bellingham is a wiser choice. In fact, fans believe that Bellingham resembles Cristiano Ronaldo more. His competitive spirit and attitude on the field make him more suitable as a leader within Real Madrid.
