Study: Mbappé and Vinicius not lazy defensively
The article addresses the criticism directed at Real Madrid's attacking approach, particularly concerning Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, focusing on their seemingly limited contributions during high-pressing moments to regain possession. French expert Dr. Flavian Power explained that organized pressing is not just about continuous running; it is a process aimed at disrupting the opponent's nervous system, thereby reducing their ability to make quick decisions and increasing the likelihood of errors. He also clarified that pressing affects mental brain functions, as receiving the ball under pressure requires performing complex mental tasks in a short time, such as controlling the ball, updating teammate positions, and decision-making—all of which place a significant burden on the brain. Furthermore, he pointed out that the impact of pressure extends to the player's teammates, diminishing their accuracy and their ability to control the ball, thus limiting their effectiveness in attacks. He emphasized that the success of Real Madrid's attacks is measured by the extent to which they psychologically disorient the opponent, not by the distances covered.
