White resources, red block

Before going into the analysis of the final, the first thing is to see the path that the two teams have followed. He Real Madrid has had to leave the best in the League in the gutter, as is the case of Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona or Villarreal. And said be without detracting from the healthwhich is a fair and worthy finalist, and has not had a carpeted path until reaching the match that will decide the title.

In it white set there is quite a difference when you can take out the gala team and when not The League has escaped him due to the rotations and the lack of regularity. If they can have their base formation, it is a very powerful team, with many resources. And it is something that is seen even more in the finals, in which they usually show their best mental, physical and technical profile, playing as a team.

Osasuna has to minimize Real Madrid’s resources, collectively and individually. On paper, the whites will try to control and have the ball. That’s why The game will be key for the Navarrese when they do not have possessionwhen it comes to braking and not letting the adversary find you are passing.

The set of Jagoba Arrasate You can press up, but I think you will do it at specific moments and you will choose to wait, rather than push. Among other things, because he is facing a rival in which everyone, from the goalkeeper to Benzema, can start the game.

Madrid has more resources, individual and group. But Osasuna is a very compact block, both in attack and defense. His options will depend to a large extent on coordination in the game without the ball, on nobody breaking that balance. Trying to make the match very uncomfortable for the opponent.

Another of the keys for the rojillo team is to take advantage of the situations that Madrid can grant him in attack, because whites sometimes fall into certain imbalances, either due to lack of attention or forgetfulness. Osasuna try to force them and create doubts. The two teams have weapons, they have reached the final well deserved and it only remains to be determined which one will win the Copa del Rey.
