As the current coach of Real Madrid, optimizing player selection and tactical adjustments are paramount to success. Distributing the 90-minute game into three distinct phases allows for effective utilization of resources and adaptability to game demands.
First Half Strategy
For the initial phase, the following players will take the field:
- Goalkeeper: Courtois
- Defenders: Carvajal, Nacho, Lukas, and Rudiger
- Midfielders: Bellingham, Kroos, Camavinga, and Valverde
- Forwards: Vini Jr and Guler
Second Half Adjustments
Observations from recent games suggest that players like Bellingham and Rodrigo may not be performing at their peak due to various factors such as fatigue or psychological pressure. Therefore, from the second half or around the 60th minute mark, substitutions will be made: 
- Introduction of Rodrigo, Mendy, and Luca Modric based on performance evaluation and tactical considerations.
Acknowledgments
In the midst of tactical discussions, it’s important to take a moment to acknowledge the contributions of key figures:
- Toni Kroos: A legend of football and Real Madrid, whose tenure has brought immense joy and inspiration to the club and its supporters.
- Om Arvind: A modern media artist who has elevated the understanding of statistics and analytical techniques in sports reporting. A tribute is extended, recognizing his invaluable contributions to the field.
By implementing strategic player selections and tactical adjustments, combined with appreciation for key figures, Real Madrid aims to achieve success both on and off the field.
