CONTEXUALIZATION OF THE ANALYSIS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/span><\/b>\u00a0have just completed the sale of\u00a0<\/span>Rapha\u00ebl Varane<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to Manchester United, a player who has marked an iconic era at the club. After a total of\u00a0<\/span>10 years<\/span><\/b>\u00a0in the ‘casa\u00a0blanca’ and with more than\u00a0<\/span>18 titles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to his name, the Frenchman has sought new challenges in his career.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the departure of the defender,\u00a0<\/span>Real Madrid<\/span><\/b>\u00a0loses not only an experienced title winning player, but also a centre\u00a0back with skills that are very difficult to find in the current market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week at the MBP School of Coaches, we will analyse,\u00a0through the\u00a0<\/span>fundamentals of the game,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0what\u00a0<\/span>Real Madrid<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will lose with the departure of\u00a0<\/span>Rapha\u00ebl Varane<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ANALYSIS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>first fundamental<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that stands out in\u00a0Varane’s\u00a0performances is his ability and effectiveness in\u00a0<\/span>‘Covering the centre\u00a0back or full back that is defending the on-ball opponent’<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a028-year-old<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is a defensive stalwart in these types of actions, consistently being able to go out to defend the opponent if they have beaten\u00a0his\u00a0teammate. In addition, the player has a great\u00a0<\/span>reaction speed<\/span><\/b>, which allows him to respond quickly and deal with this type of play successfully.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, when\u00a0<\/span>Varane<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is covering the centre\u00a0back, he applies a second level of cover, ensuring the\u00a0<\/span>balance of the team’s defensive line<\/span><\/b>\u00a0in the central channel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>second fundamental<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to be highlighted for its\u00a0high-level\u00a0application is\u00a0<\/span>‘Reducing the space from the opponent dismarking into feet’<\/span><\/i>. The implementation of this makes it difficult for the opponent to comfortably receive the ball when it arrives to them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the new United star has a great\u00a0<\/span>capacity for anticipating<\/span><\/b>\u00a0these actions, which are enhanced with the application of this fundamental, winning the ball from the opponent on many occasions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>third fundamental<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that Varane consistently executes to a high level, and one which should be applied frequently due to the style of play in England, is the fundamental of\u00a0‘Coming out to help the full back who has been beaten as long as there is an advantage in the centre\u00a0of defence’.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In situations where the opponent has managed to get behind the fullback, Varane has shown a strong efficiency in moving out to cut out these balls. Likewise, another important aspect in the application of the fundamental is his\u00a0<\/span>cognitive and interpretative capacity of the situation in the central channel<\/span><\/b>, being aware of the situations in which he should go out to defend and\u00a0the ones\u00a0when he shouldn’t, depending on the advantage in the central channel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, the\u00a0<\/span>fourth fundamental<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that Varane has shown a notable regular capacity to perform in his career at Real Madrid has been the application of\u00a0<\/span>‘directing the play towards favorable spaces’<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In teams that dominate possession, such as\u00a0<\/span>Real Madrid<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Manchester United<\/span><\/b>, the application of these attacking\u00a0behaviours\u00a0are\u00a0vital to\u00a0<\/span>speed up the offensive phase of the team and find situations of spatial advantage<\/span><\/b>\u00a0over the opponent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY OF THE ANALYSIS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, the departure of\u00a0<\/span>Rapha\u00ebl Varane<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to England will considerably weaken the defensive solidity that\u00a0<\/span>Real Madrid<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has based itself on over the last ten years. Now it remains to be seen how\u00a0<\/span>Carlo Ancelotti<\/span><\/b>\u00a0readjusts the team’s defensive line and how he manages to form a central defensive pairing as solid as the one that comprised\u00a0<\/span>Rapha\u00ebl Varane and Sergio Ramos<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
