Tailored, Ass: Alonso lets Mastantono move freely inside and participate in cooperation

September 21st News

Facing with many star players in the lineup, Real Madrid coach Alonso needs to carefully manage the playing time and position of each player. In the match against Espanyol, he adopted an asymmetrical formation of 4231, with Mbappe and Mastantono playing well behind Gonzalo.

This formation seems to be designed to welcome the upcoming comeback Bellingham, who will serve as the link between Mbappe and midfield combination Valverde and Joan Améni, while Mastantono (or Guerre) is active on the other side.

Although Real Madrid's overall performance was not at its best, Mastantono showed his most comprehensive performance since joining the game. Argentinians are naturally suitable for free movement inside and participating in cooperation rather than being fixed on the sidelines. Therefore, he showed excellent form against Espanyol.

data shows that Mastantono won the most confrontations (12 times), completed the most outs (6 times), created two scoring opportunities, and had an 89% pass success rate. Obviously, Alonso's tactical adjustments have allowed Mastantono to find the best position for him.

Mastantono was able to perform well against Espanyol because he returned to his favorite position. As a player who needs to touch the ball frequently and dominate the offensive rhythm, he fully utilizes his abilities in this role.

Cavajal is responsible for broadening the right-hand space, while Mastantono's mission is to establish connections with Mbappe, Gonzalo, midfielder and Vinicius in the frontcourt. When he took on some organizational tasks, his talent was fully demonstrated. The successful pass exchange with Mbappe almost created an excellent scoring opportunity for Mbappe.

In addition, Mastantono also showed his creative courage when playing the role of midfield or launching a quick counterattack. His turn and directional ball control made it difficult for opponents to defend, and these moves not only won the love of Bernabeu fans, but also injected vitality into Real Madrid's offensive. In short, his frequent and efficient participation in the game has become an important part of the team's offense.
