A league without goals

Lets start by the beginning.

No Real Madrid coach should have survived the first days of the league 2021-2022. Despite the injuries, the fact that in the Champions League the team fueled up, or the difficult schedule... a team that came from being second in La Liga and that had signed Meline Gerard, Lucía Rodríguez, Rocío Gálvez, Claudia Zornoza, Esther González, Nahikari García, Athenea del Castillo and Caroline Moller, could not go with a point in 5 league days (1 goal in favor).

We had to wait for 11 goals in 11 games, tenth position out of 16, with 14 points, for there to be a change of coach.

There was personal affection for Aznar, guilt of someone from the board for leaving the midfield lame... or whatever. But that start of the course was simply unfortunate, unbecoming of Real Madrid.

Having reached the finish line on the last day is something that only Real Madrid could do. But to grow you have to analyze the shadows https://twitter.com/realmadridfem/status/1525810892860010498

Football is passion and at Real Madrid it is haughty faith and belief until the last minute. The epic is intrinsic to the shield.

But you also have to look at the data so you don't have to suffer so much. This year we have suffered the unspeakable.

A smile escaped out of Toril, after the last game, highlighting that the team had become strong at home and that the team were not receiving goals and (in that moment the smile) they had been winning by the minimum.

We can understand that the coach has opted for solidity at the back to achieve results, but the final numbers are disappointing. If we are in the UWCL it is because of the bad season of the rivals, do not lose sight of that. The previous season the cut for the Champions League was 70 points.

With 41 goals for and 31 against, getting 60 points in 30 games (which is like winning at home and drawing away) is a feat.

We have 118 goals less than Barcelona, ​​which are aliens, yeah. But also 30 less than Atleti, or 26 less than Real Sociedad.

Our team has scored 34 goals less in this league than last year. It is the basic data.

We lack to score goals. And it's not just buying forwards, that's not the problem. Esther scored 29 goals last season, and even though she is our top scorer, she has fallen far short of those numbers. Asllani (16) and Cardona (14) have suffered from injuries and have not contributed their past goals, but neither have those who have arrived.

Loving Athenea and Olga as we adore, always wanting Nahikari to succeed as a Real Madrid player, longing for Moller to break what Toril sees in her... all of them have fallen far short of scoring the goals necessary for a winning team.

Is it their fault? No, or not only. The team has not been able to score goals, to give away goals. RM Fem has not been able to overcome the absence of Jakobsson and Cardona. Only Zornoza has had the clairvoyance that is required.

Claudia Zornoza who is by far the best player of Real Madrid 2021-2022. Must be highlighted. Impressive season.

Having said all this... even today there are doubts about Marta Cardona to be still with us the next season, even some people pointing out that she is going to Atlético de Madrid. That should lead us to reflection. We have infinitely missed Marta Cardona's contribution, enough to lose it.

If so, heads at the top of the business should roll. https://twitter.com/realmadridfem/status/1525834324246929408

Babs will leave the team, also Kaci, most likely Asllani will go out. End of the first cycle of Real Madrid FEM.

We need more dominant midfield, more goal assists, better goal-favoring systems, more confidence from our wingers, we need Marta Cardona, Athenea to keep taking steps forward (the same for Moller), Nahikari to create, Esther to combine , Olga never stopping her latest streak.

We will live that in the end of the year. First, the Queen's Cup arrives. The ogre. But the DNA of the club is, in a single game, fearsome. < p style="text-align: justify;">Let's trust the last dance of our first mythical players. And renew Cardona, damn it.
