Loving the Angeball support John, thrilling seeing Celtic go toe to toe last night. The way Madrid played through the press for the first goal was excellent, the second coming so quickly after killed Celtic. Still think we saw more than enough from the game to remain encouraged about Celtic’s chances
Watching Anges Celtic team reminded me of his Brisbane Roar team. Unbelievable football and not changing it for anyone can’t wait to see what he can do with world class players
for me Valverde is an amazing players, it's just still surprised me on how good he is, he can play as a winger, a box to box midfielder, a wing back, an attacking midfielder, and if you see Madrid 1st goal, it's just amazing what he did. and the fact Madrid signed Valverde, Vini Jr, and Militao years ago is just amazing piece of business.
The sporting project turnaround for Real Madrid is just crazy to see. Instead of signing top players right before their prime we are now signing players with potential and developing them in ways that makes the team function with a clear agenda in mind: winning trophies
Good to see people actually noticing how good of a player Valverde is
It might only be me but i would literally every single position if I had like I think his skill set and mind is that high of a level
@SeanL94 he has an engine attached to him and his workrate is insane. dream player of most managers id assume
Real Madrid bought Fede Valverde for 5m... lmao
Vini's first goal was incredibly similar to his UCL winner against Liverpool with Modric and Carvajal piercing high press then Valverde running on that right flank to make a great assist for Vini. This is something these players can and will do, until people learn that beating high press teams doesn't equal just getting lucky or getting help from refs.
Well said
VARdrid have always been lucky and also got help from refs on countless occasions .. 8 offside goals in just the last 3 seasons lol.. and so many clear red card fouls committed by the likes of Casemiro were over looked .. now City exposed VARdrid that just hitting ppl on transition using players’ individual skills is not sustainable.. without a good style or philosophy of play their luck will run out .. also VARdrid is useless for Spanish international football as they don’t nurture local players much and rely on buying stars .. it took a prime Barca to help Spain win 2 Euros and a World Cup .: but most VARdridistas are daft and Real VARdrid supporters outside Madrid are desperate ppl hopping on to some club which seems to win UCL by hook or crook lol .. zero ball knowledge
Real Madrid game plan was to bait the press, you can see their passing was like "come press here"... the defenders, full backs & midfielders... they all moved inside the box or the edge of the field. With Kroos & Modric being so press resistant, they drain intense teams.
If there is a graph.. you could say Liverpool, Celtic or pressing teams start & keep their intensity at 80(random number). Real Madrid are about 20 or 30 intensity, that's why it looks like they're always dominated or overrun but for them, it's normal to suffer & move the ball constantly to make the other team, their players move even more at that intensity. As game went on, Celtic's intensity went to 60, then 40... once it was 40, Real Madrid's intensity suddenly reached 120 for short periods of time... even if they dominated possession... they pass slowly till they find a gap & then boom, 120 intensity & it destroys teams.
This happened with PSG, Chelsea, Man C & Liverpool. The one who lasted the longest or calculated their intensity was Pep's team cause he knew how Real Madrid players.
damn bro
Finally someone else understands that Carlo actually has tactics.
My guy actually understands tactics. It’s actually clearer to see especially in the Champions League and hard to counter unless you take your chances when Madrid do get caught in their low energy phases. Harder to do still because this team has an abundance of attacking quality in Vinicius, Benzema and either Valverde or Rodrygo.
I really like this analysis. If this is true and it could well be, a large part of Madrid's tactics is to let the pressers kill themselves.
Tactical football is more to do with understanding your opponent and hurting them when they present their weakness. Football is a game of wits as much as it is the physical. Carlo says let them run...
3-0.
@@shottskies But it also explains why they suffer in La Liga. Many teams show up to sit deep and counter, which is frustrating to break down, leading to dreary draws and boring games. Betis notoriously would let Madrid suffer, then, rip them apart in the latter minutes. Tchouameni had energy this season and chose that game to ball out, hence, putting a stop to that in the Betis game a few weeks ago.
Celtic were all over us in the first 45 minutes, coming from a madridista. Definitely our hardest match all season so far
Celtic are a passionate club. Any team will find it difficult at celtic park
U mean the first 25mins yh
Great analysis but it would have been good to hear a bit more about how Celtic fashioned their own chances. They look excellent in transition.
Thanks so much for being fair to Celtic. We stood up to the champions of Europe and made a good account of ourselves. The team didn’t alter its style and gave them a good game. Nobody can take that away from us. The score line is flattering to Madrid and we could have been 3-0 up ourselves before half time. I hope the performance earns Celtic a bit of respect and I’m actually looking forward to seeing us in Europe this season for the first time in a long time.
Really well summarised
Definitely gained respect for Celtic over this game. Bravo.
Yes we had the best chances in the first 50 mins 4 of which we should have scored so if we went 4.0 up I doubt we would've conceded I do of course understand that we aren't going to score all the chances but you have to take some against great sides, great things I seen yesterday however
One thing is to stand up against the Champions of Europe and other is to claim that you could have be 3-0 at halftime. Don’t be delusional.
@@Comuzzy its probably easiest just to admit you didn't see the match. We had 3 clear cut chances in the first half. We were also denied by the post. The 3-0 scoreline flatters Madrid.
Saw it mentioned before but first goal was a carbon copy of the CL final goal. the passing movement in that corner around the wide attacking player's press draws the wing back forward as their pressing trigger which in turn opens up the space behind and acts as the trigger for the real forwards to push forward leaving he defence playing catch as they try to get into shape. it seems like a training ground move designed to work against exactly this system.
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed the commentary of such a fun game
The game was great, really looked like the celtic of old that represented the Scottish league well.
I really liked this match, I thought Celtic played really well they just didn’t capitalize on their chances. The scoreline flatters Madrid imo but they still did well. In a just world this game would’ve ended up as a 1-1 game with it going back and forth
I get your point but Madrid definitely deserved the win. 1st half was a good tight game and could have gone either way. 2nd half Real completely outclassed Celtic.
3-0 is a harsh scoreline given how the game went, but that’s what happens when you squander chances. Celtic would have been well worthy of a goal or two had they taken the opportunities. Over the 90 though, Real were well worth the 3 points.
Celtic only dominated the first 20 minutes after that Madrid gained possession of the ball and ran through them
"In a just world" Jesus Christ what are you saying? When will people stop evaluating high press and shots as if they're goals
Not in a just world please 😂
If Celtic had above average player's they definitely would have scored but still lost nonetheless they played well and took the game to Madrid hence making it an entertaining match
i’d disagree tbh, though i am biased. 2/3-1 would be fair, celtic totally lost control of the game layter on
Beautiful analysis🖤
Thank you😊
Ange making Australia proud 🇦🇺
Hope Celtic can prove a surprise package and made it to the knockout phase
Madrid players are so press resistance especially Kross and modric
This game was a champions league debut for most of the team and they coped with it extremely well all things considered, can’t wait to see how we play against Shaktar and Leipzig
Classic Carlo. Suffer on the 1st half, winning the match on the 2nd.
That’s how you beat high pressing teams, play to their weakness because they’ll get tired and leave space on the back
@@TheHobo1651 unless they have inhalers, than beat them on their piss poor right back defensive skills
That's one way to win against pressing team. Run them haggard in the first half then finish them off in the second.
@@TheHobo1651 I don't think just any team would able to do that though, I mean try to survive the onslaught for 30 to 40 min of high press....
@@almightythor6405 yeah but it's Madrid lol
I'm always mesmerized by Jon's hand movement
Very good analysis of the game . Madrid are surely masters . On another night had celtic broke thru Madrid say twice and ran out of steam to be pegged back to 2-2 nobody would have complained . Madrid were very clinical and resolute enough in defence to prevail. There quality showed thru but celtic system was a lot of merits. That team has been put together in last 12 months and is improving rapidly . 60 mill players v 6 mill players yet it was a great game . Well done Madrid ,very clinical and yes world class .
more real madrid content plsss
Celtic dominated first then got their morale crushed by that 1st RM goal
All hope is not lost ig
Another great vid! I wanted to know if you could do a video on whether city can win the CL with haaland!
It was a good game to watch. I thought Madrid waited for celtic to blast themselves out then picked them off pretty easily in the end playing one touch through the press.
@@caoland1990 even if you scored they would of still won in the second half and it's not their fault you have players from mk Dons and the Japanese league who can't finish against proper teams outside of that poor league you play in.
I don't like the term system manager as it is insinuating that other managers don't have a system, which is not the case. I would prefer the term absolute manager as this managers are totally inversted in a certain way of play (not necessarily possession football).
Celtic really surprised me, Iooking at Leipzig and Shaktar I think they are probably going to end up in second place
You should do a review of Pitso msomane the South African coach who is doing really well
Morning Mr McKenzie
Cool T-shirt 🤙🏾
Am a madrista but the game was closer than 3:0 in gameplay
That Madrid midfield is just too good and perfectly balanced.
Jon, you look just like 'Jimmy', played by Brian Posehn, a minor character in Rob Zombie b-movie classic "The Devil's Rejects"
Hazard!!!!!! 💙
If McGregors chance goes in game might have been very different. But good analysis, viva la Angeball
Not really Madrid would of continued to play the same way they don't react to being behind that's why they always do comebacks in the league and UCL .
That jota guy had potential he is good
He played nowhere close to his best last night, at his best he would've took Carvajal on way more and beat him way more. Think the occasion and lack of Champions League experience/experience against such a top side got to him. But yes, the sky is the limit for him.
Angeball can work against lesser teams in Scotland but against better teams Celtic must get goals for all the energy they use in the first half. In the 2nd half v Real Madrid Celtic couldn't even get close enough to foul and spoil Madrid's extended passing moves. The most annoying thing about watching Celtic is that because they tire it means loose balls, rebounds and scrambles are usually mopped up by the fresher, fitter, more savvy opposition players. We love the way Ange has the team playing but sometimes it's better to grind out results like O'Neil, Strachan and Lennon could do.
It helps to have gods on your squad to just weave bits of magic out of virtually nothing
Celtic take their chances first half and madrid wouldve been 2 or 3 down and wouldn't have came back so yes ange ball can work and will work
The comeback experts, won't come back?
Tell that to PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. Apparently you didn't see last champions league season.....
@@juananonimo6993last season has nothing to do with it celtic would have been far more tighter at the back
@@Aidan-dm2qr Scottish league it's not a good parameter for "tight defense" because you actually don't get tested just once or two times every season.
And remember you are talking about current UCL champion, of course they gonna win against Celtic, even if apparently they are "struggling".
Maybe they’re just better
It WAS working, but they couldn't finish their chances
A video on PSG and mbappe apparent selfish play
Viva la Ange Ball😀
In my recent fm22 game man Utd bough vinicius junior for £115. Madness. Haha
Don’t say that now that’s gonna happen next transfer window 😅😂
@@enter_name5822 vini already renew his contract
his release clause is 1B tho
@@enter_name5822 no way in hell madrid accepts a mere 115m bid for vini though haha
TIFO IRL next video on graham potter please
Honest question, how long till Ange gets bigger clubs knocking?
scary times if benzema is out for any length of time, hazard was getting completely ignored in so much build up. everyone said madrid should have got a backup forward though.
Not really vini has reached a new level this season by far our best player in fact Benz has started of badly by his standards.
@@Gtdmilon514 you don’t know football.
@@ewan7283 i don't know ball? i watch madrid live in bernabéu every match day everything i said is a fact you casuals are too funny.
@@Gtdmilon514 vinicius has not been ‘by far’ madrids best player
@@ewan7283 he literally has been him followed by tchouameni if you watched the games at the stadium you would know this he literally is the stand out player .
Is this the same tactic that Real was able to beat every time last season in the playoffs?
What is the logic of not offering a different challenge?
Would have to agree with this, particularly the main premise in that Ange is a "systems manager" vs Carlo who has more of a tactical approach.
What's interesting about this analysis is it suggests that where Ange has gone wrong is he's tried to be an everywhere man and perhaps this is what has tired the team out. They tried to be the press high team, the middle block team, morphing into the low bock team, the counter attack team, the "possession" based team. They've tried to be every football team on earth to try and beat RM lol no wonder the players go knackered. Learning curve for Ange it seems.
To celtic's credit, they did go toe to toe with madrid for the first half and certainly threatened them in a couple of moments. Carlo said himself, madrid had to "suffer in the first half". Eventually Madrid's quality shone through. Madrid were good enough to defend a barrage of punches from celtic and then eventually punch their way back into the game with their finesse.
Ange looks to have possibly started digging his own hole like he did in Australia whith his "I'll never stray from my high intensity methodologies" approach. Will he swallow his pride and sacrifice his reputation to become more tactical? History shows he probably won't. Ego and ignorance are his flaws.
Being an idealist is neither egotistical or ignorant.
@@HorseWithNoUsername not sure if I really agree with that. At least in certain scenarios. At the end of the day, if you think Ange's run yourself into the ground style of football is entertaining you go right along and live your life that. No offence. Lol.
@@shottskies every club he's managed seems to love him, even long after he's left. Hard to imagine he'd get that kind of love if he was egotistical and ignorant. If you're going to criticise him, maybe try pointing out some of his actual flaws, rather than throwing around the first insults that come to mind.
@@shottskies honestly the only thing Ange has to fix is player stamina...
And I imagine this issue will fix itself when players get used to his tactics
@@HorseWithNoUsername I'm pointing out the guy's flaws in my original post... his tactical flaws are to do with his inability to veer from his own personal mantras and "philosophies". I've seen him at times in his career put his own "philosophies" before what's best for the team on the park and the result. These tactical flaws are tied in with his ego. I've also observed him contradict himself at times and be a hypocrite.
Can we see more about PSG? Will the new coach be able to make significant progress against the larger European sides and take them to the promise land? How does the current system work.
Celtic genuinely unlucky not to get a result. Didn’t press as hard last night as we usually do, genuinely thought we sat off them a lot more than we usually do in the league (to be expected obviously), but particularly the first half we were brilliant. Madrid took their chances & Celtic never, but that’s to be expected when you play the best team in the world
This is Real Madrid not your average Scottish football team, even when they're sitting back inviting the pressure, they could easily turn the table around and dominate at any point they desired.
Celtic is a system team, and against such sides, Carlo likes to sit back for a while and endure the high intensive pressing until the opponent tire themselves up, then hit them when they're too tired to switch to defensive formation as quickly as they're supposed to.
It's just brilliant to watch, and it's been working for a while now, people think that Real Madrid is an underdog, while overlooking the genius of a tactician with 5 UCL titles who found the best plan to effectively dismentle system teams.
Sadly I think it's only a matter of time until 1 of the clubs from a bigger league comes in for Big Ange
I'd hope not, he's building a solid team at Celtic and wouldn't want to walk away from that
And he does sincerely love the club, unlike that other bloke he comes across as decent and loyal
@@scottjo76 hope you are right mate ,he is now bookies favourite for Brighton job ,I cant see Ange leaving for them no way
@@mrfreeland123 Brighton, a nice wee seaside club, no chance :)
@@d4vidore modern day Nostradamus me
Yes Celtic played well yesterday and so did PSG, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool
Madrid get outplayed and still score and win
Crazy right?
Scoring goals is the way to win in football, never knew that, I swear I thought it was based on which team runs more after the ball and who can catch the golden flying ball
You are mistaken if you thinks that running more than the opponent means your are outplaying him. Madrid was the team who outplayed everyone.
What could Celtic have done differently ?
effective final third balling and sharp finishing
Only real way to beat this Madrid is to give them ball and park the bus making no mistakes otherwise you get punished instantly
@@cheangizzz parking the bus will give you Draw not victory
@@the_yb7 most likely but there's a chance you can score on the counter and Madrid's speedy wings are brittled if you don't give them space. Not easy to pull off but safer than pressing high for 1 or 2 goals and getting stabbed with 3 or 4.
Sounds very basic, but have better/more experienced players? I think they (Celtic) did everything right but convert the 3 -4 good chances they had. If you had Top 3 big league level attacking players quality finishing you would be looking at Real having to start to chase the game, like Man City Vs Real last year. I am very interested to see if Real vs City rematch with Halaand
Had a bet on this game with madrid having -3 handicap, so of course benzema got injured. 🙃
WITH THE AGE AND EXPERIENCE OF MOST OF REAL MADRID PLAYERS, WE ONLY NEED 30 MINUTES TO BEAT TEAMS IN THE WHOLE GAME DESPITE THEIR TACTICS, FORM,LEAGUE ETC
Tuchel news. Hurry up.
Valverde is the last key that Liverpool need!
there are lot of Valverde Clones are available in the market. try one out.
Valverde is unique in Stamina and class. There's a lot of "runners" and "speedsters" in football right now, the one who looks similar or a little bit superior is Bisouma. But the way Valverde function for the team it's truly gold.
A lot of others only run a lot, example:
Adama Traore (Attack)
Henderson (Midfield)
DeJong (Midfield)
so many more interesting games you could have chosen for analysis
Grow up, Colin.
no need for analysis, real are simply better
Yes but it’s a little deeper than that mate.
Its more of a tactical highlights so we start to see more of what happened.
Probably best to just admit you didn’t watch the game and, although not entirely incorrect, that the score line doesn’t tell the whole story. Celtic could have been 3-0 up before half time.
@@danwatt5789 if my grandmother had wheels, she would've been a bike
You're right, any analysis of any match is irrelevant. The team that won was just simply better.
Viva la Ange Ball😀
