Is Real Madrid playing very risky without a striker?
Real Madrid has been playing with very risky tactics without a decent striker and they still believe the formation of the club for the attack will rely on Vini Jr. Therefore, due to his speed, dribbling and quick feet can produce lots of chances for the club to score more goals.
But somehow, in the match against Man City, Vini Jr has been taken over very crucially and casually by Kyle Walker. The inconsistency and the frequency of losing the ball from Vinicius was seen in a very abundant way. He was overtaken and outclassed by Walker in terms of speed. Somehow, they won the match and knocked out Man City through penalties.
In the recent match against Bayern Munich where they tied 2-2. The position of the striker was solely implemented by Vini Jr. Therefore, he made few runs in the striker position and even scored two goals, where Toni Kroos assisted a through ball to Vini Jr where he scored the first goal.
