    Real Madrid needs to recruit better defenders instead of employing sweepers like Brazil did. The Madrid defenders are too eager to commit themselves when defending their turf. The goalkeeper is not as good as he used to be and so should be rested from time to time. Lastly, the players need to use short passes instead of long erratic passes that often missed their targets or intercepted. Barcelona uses short triangle passes with deadly effect and has tall defenders to defend / attack at goal-mouth.
