Alejandro Moreno

Today, Santiago Bernabéu were affecting their own players.

In the first half, these guys were afraid to play.

You watch a guy like Dean Housen, when the ball comes to him, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't want any of this.

Not for me.

A guy like Vinny.

Luis just referenced that.

Is he taking players on 1v1 situation?

No.

Sideways and back.

Let me get rid of this ball.

And it was happening across the board.

Duke Bellingham just playing the ball straight out of bounds.

The pressure and the whistling of their own fans got to this player.

And it wasn't until we got players that were not involved in the first half, like Arda Guler, that comes on the field, and he starts playing the ball forward and penetrating passes and finding spaces in behind that Real Madrid got better with a different type of energy, with a different type of intensity, and guys that were not affected by the environment because they were not being whistled as much as the big-timers were, in particular, Vinny Jr.

The whistling kind of went away

kind of went away in the second half to most players because Real Madrid were playing better, because they were scoring goals, because they were winning the game.

It didn't matter with Vinny Jr.

At the end of the game, even when he was dribbling players and trying to take shots on whatever, the whistles were still there.

There is a disconnect right now between Vinny Jr.
