Real Madrid lost 0-4! Courtois pain point: The defense line is slow and lost. Where is the future?

Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. This focus battle in New York not only made the "Galaxy Battleship" lose all its face, but also exposed many problems in the team from tactics to execution. After the game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois kept speaking frankly as always, from tactical loopholes to external disputes, which directly hit the pain points, opening the curtain of reflection for this disastrous defeat.

Panorama of the match: The problem behind the crushing defeat

At the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain showed the championship-level oppressiveness and control. With high pressure, fast transmission and precise running, Paris is playing smoothly, while Real Madrid seems at a loss. Faced with Paris' strong start, Courtois admitted without hesitation that the team failed to implement the tactics formulated by head coach Alonso before the game.

"We failed to play as the coach's plan, especially in possession of the ball and finding gaps in the frontcourt. Paris' high pressure has made us lose the rhythm. They are very smart when passing and can always find space to create threats." Courtois said after the game.

Throughout the game, Real Madrid's defense was torn apart by Paris' offensive. Especially in the quick counterattack, Paris took advantage of Real Madrid's slow defensive rotation and easily scored two deadly goals. "When you always take a step slower, the formation will naturally lose its position. Paris seized our loopholes, which left us powerless to fight back," Courtois concluded.

Courtois's blunt statement: From tactics to attitudes,

As one of the few highlights of Real Madrid in this game, Courtois saved the team from a bigger score loss with key saves. However, his outspokenness about the team's overall performance became the focus of post-match discussion.

"We need to use video analysis to find out the root of the problem. We are always slow on defense, and when the opponent runs, our defense needs to go back and catch up, which wastes too much time," Courtois pointed out.

These words are not only a review of the game, but also a warning to the team's attitude and execution. "Sometimes, we need to face up to our shortcomings. Although such failure is painful, it also reminds us that there is still a lot of work to be done in the future."

Outside voice: Controversial comments by Chairman Tebas, Laliga,

In the background of this disastrous defeat, there is also an "war" outside the court. Before the game, La Liga president Tebas publicly criticized the Club World Cup system for being "meaningless" and even accused it of disrupting the schedule of European football. In response, Courtois made a strong counterattack after the game.

"I was surprised to hear a league chairman say something like this. I have never seen a similar comment in Italy, England or the NBA. Whether he likes the Club World Cup or not, it is there. And we are Real Madrid, which shows our attitude," Courtois said.

Tebass' remarks not only aroused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid players, but also once again revealed the contradictions within European football. Between giant clubs and traditional leagues, this undercurrent game may be the core issue of future football reform.

Positive factors: The return of the injured and the team's future prospects

Although the score is terrible, Real Madrid has not achieved nothing. During the game, Militon and Carvajal, who had been out of the battle for a long time, made a comeback, which injected a glimmer of hope into the future of Real Madrid's defense. Courtois also expressed his gratitude for this: "Seeing them back is a positive signal for us. Next, we will use the holiday to adjust our status and look forward to their contributions in the subsequent games."

In addition, Courtois also expressed his respect for the two veterans who are about to leave the team, Modric and Vasquez. "They are legends of Real Madrid, and leaving is part of their career, but their spirit will always remain in the team."

More importantly, this defeat sounded the alarm for Real Madrid. Courtois admitted that Paris' performance was at the championship level, and Real Madrid needed to try to catch up. "Such failure is painful, but it is also a learning opportunity. We need to reach their level and strive to surpass next year."

Conclusion: Rising from failure

This disastrous defeat is not only a setback for Real Madrid, but also a profound learning opportunity. The team needs to make adjustments from the tactical, psychological and personnel levels to show stronger competitiveness in future games.

As fans, we should support the team's reconstruction process, while paying attention to performance in future games and witnessing Real Madrid's rise from losses. After all, the real champion has never failed, but knows how to draw strength from failure and reshape glory.
