3 Things Julen Lopetegui could do to turn the tide at Real Madrid

#3 Improving shooting accuracy near the opposition goal

Marco Asensio

Real had 33 attempts against Levante but only 12 of them were on target. They would definitely have to improve their shooting accuracy in order to test their opponents more often. With the departure of Ronaldo, they no longer have their most lethal goal-scoring weapon and therefore, their other players would have to come forward in order to bridge the gap.

Isco is not a very direct players and can not be trusted to have too many shots at goals. Benzema, on the other hand, is a good poacher who thrives on loose balls inside the opposition box.

Therefore, players like Bale and Asensio would have to test the opposition goalkeepers with their shooting prowess. Bale has got a very powerful shot on him and has scored some devastating goals from the edge of the box.

Asensio prefers to cut inside from the wing and then take attempts at goal and should be encouraged to do it more often. He has scored 22 goals in 103 matches at the top level in club football and would definitely want to improve his goal-scoring record.
