 What solution does Real hope to beat PSG?

Answering Zing, journalist Kerry Hau of Sport1 said that Karim Benzema's injury caused Real Madrid's game problems, but the La Liga club still has factors that can make a difference.

Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid is the focal point of this season's Champions League round of 16. Experts estimate that in terms of force, the representative of France is slightly better than rival Spain. However, writer Kerry Hau thinks that if Real Madrid make good use of coach Carlo Ancelotti's counter-attacking weapon, they can make PSG in trouble.

At this point, the role of Toni Kroos is very important. The German midfielder can play the role of "Mysterious Factor", surprising PSG.

Real Madrid will play counterattack

- In the upcoming match at Parc des Princes, will the confrontations in the midfield play a decisive role? Currently, is PSG or Real Madrid the team with a stronger midfield?

- The midfield will clearly be the place to decide the upcoming match between Real Madrid and PSG. It is difficult to say which of the two teams mentioned above has a stronger midfield. The people the two teams have are of different levels and playing styles.

For example, Kroos or Marco Verratti, it is difficult to say who is better than who. Verratti may never be the number one central midfielder in the world, but the Italian player still plays very well for the national team or PSG. In this season, Verratti plays an important role in PSG's play.

One of the things we need to keep in mind is that neither Real Madrid nor PSG want to run after the ball. With quality attacking players in the squad, the coaches of PSG or Real Madrid will need to control the ball, control the game and create the best conditions for the spearheads to score goals.

- Of course, coach Ancelotti or any strategist wants to impose opponents and play offensively. However, PSG with the trio of Lionel Messi - Neymar - Kylian Mbappe is always an ominous challenge for every defense? Will Real Madrid play a double attack or wait for a counter-attack at the Bernabeu? In the big matches this season, Real Madrid played very well on the counter-attack.

- I think when facing PSG, Real Madrid will continue to play counter-attack, their forte weapon this season in big matches. Benzema's health is still open, so I think Real Madrid will have many problems in the game, especially in attack.

With the people coach Ancelotti currently has in hand, Real Madrid's tight defense and waiting for opportunities from lightning attack situations is something we can predict.

The defense is the fulcrum for Real Madrid this season. Players like David Alaba or Eder Militao play quite stably and create certainty in front of Thibaut Courtois' goal.

- In 5 big matches since the beginning of the season against Barcelona (2 times), Inter Milan (2 times) or Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid only conceded once. The presence of rookie Alaba seems to help the Spanish capital club forget about Sergio Ramos? How much influence does the Austrian defensive player have on Real Madrid's play?

- Obviously, this season, Alaba played well and showed his leadership qualities stronger than when he was at Bayern Munich. In his first season at Real Madrid, Alaba showed his class. That is not easy for a player who has only played his first season for the Spanish capital.
