Three systems in one week

In just one week, Real Madrid has played using three different systems. There was a 1-4-2-3-1 against Celta, and then against Osasuna there was 1-4-2-4 and then 1-4-4-2. And against Espanyol, Madrid went back to 1-4-3-3, which the manager particularly likes as it allows him to concentrate more on playing through the middle , with three central midfielders.
These are not radical tactical changes, but they are significant. They show off the quality and variety of the Real Madrid squad, and the versatility of Ancelotti's tactical blackboard, adapting to each game and giving greater importance to the players, to running into spaces and the style of play he wants to impose.
