After yesterday’s disappointing second half, there are few players who can be considered survivors, and among them, Lucas Vazquez was one of the worst, having played a major role in conceding goals.
In the second goal, he was out of position, allowing Balde to easily cross from the wing. In the third, he let the ball bounce, ending up at Rafinha’s feet, while in the fourth, the Brazilian easily beat him from behind thanks to his strength and speed.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” it is clear that Lucas Vazquez is not entirely to blame, but he has revealed a major problem at Real Madrid: the club is in dire need of a reliable right-back and centre-back, with Rudiger and Militao needing real competition.
The absence of Dani Carvajal was felt strongly; he is considered one of the best full-backs in the world. However, it is necessary to have another player capable of competing for his position starting next season.
The newspaper added that Perez is more upset than ever with Vazquez because of his disastrous performance against Barcelona and has asked Ancelotti to remove him from the team’s lineup this season.
The club is not only angry with the performance of some players, but also with the overall level of the team. They cannot understand how football can be played so poorly despite the quality in the squad.
The positive side is that this negative result came in October, when the team is still in all competitions, and there is plenty of time to change and regain the determination to fight for all titles.
