Welcome to a new series on Managing Madrid: Highlight packages and player comps! As we delve into more and more video content, we’ll also be keeping it in mind to make player comps after games — both Real Madrid at the club level as well as its players on international duty. We’ll also do historical videos, as well as compilations over longer sample sizes. We hope you enjoy.
Real Madrid’s aggressive press from earlier this season seems like a forgotten past. While the team has struggled with intensity since the start of November, it is strange to believe it in some way, because there were no problems of ‘intensity’ prior to that. Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid were aggressive and pressing with cohesion.

If anything, it was expected that the press and effort would improve rather than regress.
What happened?
We’ve compiled a video of some of Real Madrid’s effort in the first half from the match against Barcelona in October.
