Juventus' exit from the Champions League sparked rumors about the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Real Madrid;
But what will the 36-year-old achieve for the current royal club?
The Spanish newspaper MARCA asked this question and answered it as follows.
Undoubtedly, Ronaldo remains one of the most decisive forwards at this time;
But in order to analyze whether he will fit the current squad correctly, it is important to focus on aspects that the players of the royal coach Zinedine Zidane have faced recently.
1- Penetrating the defensive teams
Ronaldo may be the solution to the offensive dilemma, which Real Madrid has been suffering from since his departure, especially this season with the teams that play in a defensive manner, and the defensive third is completely closed to the attackers, and despite the recurrence of this problem, Zidane has not yet been able to find an effective solution to it;
Which made the team lose a lot of points throughout the season.
But how can Ronaldo help with this problem? The answer is simply that the Don has mastered over the years, thanks to his natural attacking instinct inside the penalty area, where he has the ideal offensive basics in addition to long experience, and his sense of ideal positioning in various offensive situations.
2- Multiple scorers
Since Ronaldo's departure, Karim Benzema bears all offensive responsibility alone, and has scored most of the royal goals, as he scored 23 goals this season;
But he did not reach the goal average of the Portuguese star yet.
The crisis here is that Real Madrid's second scorer after Benzema is Marco Asensio with only 4 goals, reflecting the wonderful partnership between Ronaldo and Benzema, where the duo scored most of the team's goals;
However, there is no such huge difference between the scorer and his runner-up, just as the imposition of censorship on the sub-competitors of Real Madrid employed several players;
This would create spaces in the offensive third for other players to score as well.
3- Shifting from defense to offense
Ronaldo's return may help Real Madrid develop greatly in switching from defense to attack, which is one of the frightening strengths of the royal during the Ronaldo era, which the team currently lacks;
Which makes him suffer even in front of some small teams.
Despite his advanced age, Ronaldo remains the best player to use offensive spaces in the transition from defense to offense due to his speed and great experience.
4- His competitive personality
In addition to Ronaldo's huge goalscoring contributions that the royal needs, he will transfer his competitive personality aspiring to permanent victory to the rest of the team, and he will serve as a role model and role model for the generation of young players that Real Madrid currently own.
From the alternative?
If the return of the Portuguese icon can help solve Real Madrid's offensive problems, then there are some rising stars who may play this role as well, most notably Kylian Mbappe (22 years) and Erling Haaland (20 years), who have exceptional offensive capabilities as well as their ability to guarantee The offensive supremacy of the Royal during a decade of their youth.
