Crouch is optimistic about Real Madrid s defending title, Modric gradually fades out of the core lineup, Guillail is suitable for Nuno

Real Madrid defeated Villarreal in this round of the league, and at least on the La Liga standings level, Real Madrid led Barcelona three points. Former England star Crouch also believes that the Galaxy battleships have found the pace of victory in the league, and Ancelotti will focus more on the Champions League knockout round. First of all, Crouch is optimistic about Real Madrid's defending title. Although the lineup of Bernabeu has changed, after Mbappe comes to this club, the midfield and frontcourt system will also be updated, and the space of Brazil's twins has been squeezed. Fortunately, Real Madrid has successfully transformed for more than half a season, so this team is very likely to defend the Big Ear Cup. The Champions League has reached the knockout stage. Crouch is optimistic about the team with high excitement, and Real Madrid happens to have this characteristic.

Modric made a substitute in this game, and his changes to the game were minimal. In Crouch's view, this is a good sign - Modric gradually fades out of the core lineup, so Real Madrid's midfield can officially complete the transition from the old to the new. As we all know, the "Celebration Three Midfielder" created the glory of the Bernabeu system in its last junior. After Casemiro joined Manchester United, the original midfield system had collapsed. Cross retired after the end of last season, so it was only a matter of time before the Magic Flute gradually faded out of the core lineup, after all, he is too old. In the past, many people were worried that Real Madrid would suffer from "Modric dependence". By then, the Croatian veteran suddenly retired and his record may decline. As he gradually fades out of the core lineup, what fans are worried about will not happen.

Because Real Madrid's management has long been laid out, it has paved the way for the rise of the new generation. Chu Améni and Valverde, the two young talents, have shown their age-old maturity and strength in the last season, and they have become the new pillars of the team's midfield. With his excellent interception ability and precise passes, Chu Améni stabilized Real Madrid's defense and activated the offensive line while activated the offensive line; while Valverde injected new vitality into the team with his tireless running, sharp breakthroughs and key goal grasp. Gulaire still did not get the chance to start, and he also reached a critical period of upward growth. Crouch also admitted that if the Turkish teenager cannot guarantee a stable appearance, he should seek a transfer, and Crouch suggested that he consider the Premier League team - Guillail is suitable for Nuno.

Nottingham Forest is the dark horse of the Premier League this season. If this club qualifies for the European competition next season, coach Nuno needs to make up for the thickness of the lineup. For Nuno's tactical system, Gulaire is a very reasonable candidate. After all, Gulaire's small skills are relatively delicate. The overall view is also good, and such players are suitable for Nuno. Not only does Gulaire have the ability to handle balls flexibly in a narrow space, his passing vision and accuracy are also a highlight of his technical characteristics. Under the tactical framework of Nuno's emphasis on rapid conversion and high-level oppression, Guillail was able to quickly capture fighter jets, whether it was direct piercing through the defense line or horizontal dispatch to open up space, which could create excellent offensive opportunities for teammates. His joining will undoubtedly greatly enrich Nottingham Forest's offensive methods, making the team more competitive in the Premier League and even the European stage.

In Crouch's view, Real Madrid's new and old alternation was not smooth, but Ancelotti showed excellent tactical adjustment ability and precise control of the players' psychology. Mbappe's joining has undoubtedly injected fresh blood into the team. His speed, breakthrough and finishing ability have made Real Madrid's offense more three-dimensional and changeable. Even though Brazilian twin stars "Bears" and Rodrigo's playing time have decreased, they still showed efficiency and growth in their limited appearances, proving the team's depth improvement. After entering the knockout round, every game is an ultimate test of will, tactical execution and on-the-spot adaptability. Crouch specifically mentioned that Real Madrid's rebound in adversity is an important weapon on their way to defend their title. Whether it is the quick counterattack when falling behind or the meticulous cooperation when facing intensive defense, Real Madrid can always find a way to solve it. This indomitable spirit is the key to their ability to stand firm in European football.

In addition, the experience of veterans in Real Madrid's lineup combined with the vitality of the new star formed a unique balance, so that the team can always stand up and decide the game at critical moments. Crouch predicts that as the knockout stage deepens, Real Madrid will gradually show their true strength as the defending champion, not only to defend their honor, but also to prove that this team still maintains their infinite desire for the Champions League trophy even after the personnel changes. From this we can see that Crouch is optimistic about Real Madrid's defending title. With Modric's fading out, Real Madrid's midfielder did not fall into chaos, but instead showed a vibrant scene. Fans began to realize that this was not just a personnel change, but also a smooth transition to the team's style. With the alternation of new and old, Real Madrid's midfield is still strong. They are moving towards the next era of glory with a brand new look, continuing the legendary chapter of the Galaxy Battleship.
