Next, you have Lopetegui’s system, this is a Spanish style system of quick passing and moving. This is a system that was built for a Spanish team and we would have saw more in the World Cup had the coaching drama not happened. Real Madrid has adapted well to this new system and have begun to completely dominate teams in possession and seem to be making more goals for everyone rather than just going to one player. With the likes of Isco, Asensio, Ramos, Carvajal, Nacho, and Vasquez playing this style has been very easy. The movement on and off the ball has improved drastically since the arrival of Lopetegui.
