It is heard before the game in practically every football booth from the biggest clubs to the district championships:: “We want to score as quickly as possible, then we will play better, ” almost every team is encouraged. But how to do it? Real Madrid have come up with a solution.

In today’s football, it’s customary for the ball to go from midfield to the full-backs, followed by a calm passing game to get the team into the game. That’s why the opponent is usually not so attentive during the kick-off, because he is usually in no danger.

And Real Madrid decided to take advantage of that. The players have refined their passing game, from which they immediately get their chances. He is gradually improving in this discipline, so far, with every action, there is an improvement.

The first time Los Blancos pulled it off was in the Champions League eight-final rematch against PSG. Luka Modric always has the same position, playing the ball from the half and running into the opponent’s half, but then the movement gets stuck and he runs for the pass.

In this situation, Real played it from the other side, hence Toni Kroos gave the ball to Modric, who knocked it to Asensio, who passed it behind the defence looking for the quicker Vinícius. However, the Brazilian youngster just missed the ball.

The second time Real pulled off this kind of play was in the semi-final against Manchester City, where the sides had already switched sides and Los Blancos players settled down like this.

Luka Modric is in the same position, first starting, then jamming the move. But the ball is passed to him by Casemiro, and Modric lays it off to Kroos, the player with the best technique in Real Madrid and arguably all of Spain.

Valverde and Carvajal charge down the right wing, the ball flies to one of them, Benzema and Vinícius run in from the left wing to finish. Against the Citizens it has come down to finishing, but Vinícius fails miserably. So Real could have scored just seconds into the second half, erasing the one-goal deficit that City had worked so hard to erase in the first half.

And Real Madrid continue their quarterbacking in the new season. In their pre-season tour of the USA, the Merengues pulled off an identical play in their match against Juventus and took it one step further again, this time ending in a goal. Admittedly it didn’t pay due to an offside, but Los Blancos are really dangerous with it.

And as it seems, this passing game is slowly becoming a trend. Another Madrid team tried it at the weekend, as Rayo Vallecano created a similar situation in a friendly against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

However, the whole action has earlier roots. At the beginning of December last year, in a duel between the first and second teams of the Championship between Fulham and Bournemouth, the visitors came up with the same play.

While many fans were still queuing for refreshments and a tepid start was expected after a cautious first half, Bournemouth stepped up and took the lead just five seconds into the second half.
