#2 New coach and New tactics
Julen Lopetegui is a tactical genius, and his game is based on possession, contrary to that of Real Madrid's.
Los Blancos have been playing a game of pacy counter-attacks, with not having much possession of the ball. Real Madrid's game has been unvarying for years, and their counter-attacking football is the most lethal in all of Europe. They are arguably the best at what they do, and no team comes close.
However, their game under Julen might change. Real Madrid has players who can be tuned to the type of system Julen wants to deploy. The team has a wealth of high-quality midfielders.
Leaders like Luka Modric, Isco, and Toni Kroos will serve as the engines of the team. With the current midfield, these tactics will come to fruition rather sooner than the fans expect.
The midfield duo of Kroos and Modric will play a paramount role in Julen's system, and their control and passing abilities are as amazing as ever.
