"It is important to note that blaming Mbappe for everything is lazy. People tend to lean into extremes, and blaming Vinicius’s poor form on Mbappe is too common; as is the disregard of all the variables that coincided, freakishly, with Mbappe’s arrival: Kroos’s departure, leaders leaving one by one, ACL injuries, players playing through pain, and the team relying heavily on young inexperienced talent while putting up with their growing pains. Also: coaching turmoil and shifts in identity. It’s been a two-year, perfect storm. Vinicius is not without blame when we discuss the failures of the Vini-Mbappe connection. Media tends to have debates about whose fault this all is. It’s not black and white; good vs bad. People should be free to criticize both, because both parties have been poor in their own way. Keep in mind one important story from this season that will be remembered for decades to come when we look back on the 2025 - 2026 season: When Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid, he wanted to bring something different — something fresh — to the team’s identity. He had seen the team’s tactical struggles under Carlo Ancelotti the year before. He wanted to play faster, take less touches, be more surgical, and find openings in more creative ways than simply pumping the ball to Vinicius on the left wing and watching the offense stagnate. That offense was built around winning the ball through rabid ball recoveries, hunting opponents high up the pitch, and two key players: Arda Güler and Mbappe. Güler would take one touch, and use his second to feed a through-ball to Mbappe. Mbappe would take one-to-two touches and score. It was a system that worked. Güler racked up assists, Mbappe racked up goals, and Real Madrid racked up wins. Their only loss until November was away to Atletico Madrid — a game where the team rushed Bellingham back in his first start since recovering from shoulder surgery. He wasn’t ready. But eventually, Alonso incorporated Bellingham into the team, and by the time the Clasico rolled around in October, Bellingham himself was providing the through-balls to Mbappe, gliding out of pressure, and pressing opponents. In all this, it was Vinicius that was losing the spotlight. Alonso rarely gave the Brazilian the 90 minutes — either not starting him or subbing him off in the second half. When he had the ball, Alonso asked him to play quicker, to find teammates before defenses could set, and to tone down superfluous dribbling. It was a double-edged sword. Vinicius wasn’t happy, and the frustration built up inside him. And this is where the aforementioned story concludes: Alonso took Vinicius off in the second half of the October Clasico. Vinicius reacted furiously. The team collapsed, and was never the same again. What was supposed to be a wave of momentum to start the season as league leaders, turned into a funeral that sucked the soul out of the team." - @KiyanSo : managingmadrid.com/kiyans-observa…

I hate when my side hustle (my job) gets in the way of my main hustle (dilly dallying)

I'll pay you $50 to test the football game I created! I quit my job to start @Griddy_FF because I felt like NFL fans deserved a new strategy game. This week, we're releasing the biggest update in the app's history, and I'm looking for people who have never played Griddy before to try it out. If you're interested, leave a comment below. I'll be picking 3 people to do a user testing session live on zoom where you'll play an unreleased version of the game. If you're already a Griddy player and are feeling the FOMO, retweet this to help me find testers and I'll hook it up with free tokens 🤝

🚨🗣️ Toni Kroos on Real Madrid’s Midfield this season: “I’m going to be honest because nobody inside the club will say it publicly, the midfield right now has no personality. You can talk about tactics all day, but football is simple: if your midfield doesn’t control rhythm, your forwards will look lost. Look at Vinícius Júnior, people say he’s inconsistent. Why? Because every time he gets the ball, it’s in chaos. No structure, no timing, no one giving him the ball where it actually hurts the opponent. He’s forced to create magic from nothing every single time. That’s not football, that’s survival. And then Kylian Mbappé, you don’t bring a player like that and make him feed off scraps. He’s not a winger who wants to dribble five players every time. He needs service, clean, fast, intelligent passes. Right now? He’s isolated, and people will blame him when the real problem is 30 meters behind him. At Real Madrid, the midfield used to dictate everything, tempo, space, confidence. Now it feels like nobody wants responsibility. Too safe, too slow, too predictable. You can have the best attackers in the world, but if the midfield plays like this, they will look average. Fans can get emotional and blame the forwards, but if you understand football, you know where the real issue is. And right now, it’s not pretty.”
