Will Real Madrid continue to use the three-guard formation? Dortmund quickly achieves Bellingham Jr.

The last two matches of the Club World Cup round of 16 will be held in the early morning of July 2. Due to Asensio's suspension, Real Madrid had to adjust to a three-back formation in the last round of the group stage, unexpectedly achieving the first clean sheet of this event. Can Alonso continue this tactic in the knockout round? At the same time, Bellingham Jr.'s recent performance in the game has once again attracted attention. He has directly participated in the goal in the last two games, and his market value continues to rise. At this time next year, Dortmund is expected to reap rich returns from him again.

Asensio's red card prompted Longo to discover a new strategy

In the match between Real Madrid and Juventus, although Real Madrid is the club that won the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, it is not a favorite to win the championship in the reorganized club World Cup. Since last season, Real Madrid's central defender and midfield core position in organizing offenses lack reliable candidates. During the summer transfer period, the Galaxy introduced Heysen from Bournemouth, while Alonso quickly included him in the starting lineup.

However, the defense line between Heisen and Asensio, the average age of 21, was not stable, causing Real Madrid to concede goals in both the first two games. In the showdown against Pachuca, Asensio was even more red due to his reckless behavior. On the contrary, in the last round of group stage, facing his strong rival Salzburg, Longo had no choice but to let Chu Améni play the central defender and re-play the three-center defender formation, which greatly improved Real Madrid's performance, locking in the group first 3-0, and finally achieving the goal of zero-blocking.

Stable defense line and efficient offense have become the key to victory

In addition to the stable defense line, Real Madrid's performance on the offensive end should not be underestimated. Gulaire replaced Magic Flute and became the core of the midfield. He must seize every opportunity to learn from Magic Flute. What is particularly important is that every game may become his last game. Judging from the current three Club World Cup games, his performance is mixed, with key passes and occasional worrying mistakes. If there is a more suitable choice in the transfer market, I believe Alonso will not give him too many opportunities.

Juventus performed well in the group stage but suffered a crushing defeat against Manchester City, which reminded them of their past struggles in the European game. In the match against Manchester City for the first place in the group, coach Tudor continued to send young centre-backs Savona and Chiatenva to the field, while main center Muani sat on the bench, as if he was conserving his strength.

Bortmond's Bellingham Jr.'s performance was eye-catching

in the final round against Ulsan, although Dortmund finally won 1-0, he still showed a strong offensive. He shot 28 times in the game, several times that of Ulsan HD, and had 11 positive shots, with a ball possession rate of up to 65%. However, the Hornets' offensive efficiency urgently needs to be improved, and although they create a large number of opportunities, they only scored one goal. Such a situation is likely to cost the team a heavy price when facing a more threatening opponent. After scoring on the field, Bellingham Jr. contributed another assist in this round, which made the fans happy.

, and Monterrey faced Urawa Red Diamonds in the last round, and the team quickly took the lead with the help of high-pressure pressing tactics and finally won 4-0. This team penetrated perfectly through the wing and middle lanes, constantly tearing the opponent's defense line and successfully completing the goal of qualifying in the group. With the current sluggish group stage, Dortmund is expected to perform well and further suppress Monterrey's attack power.
