At the beginning of the season, Lille’s defense has been struggling. In the Champions League, the club has only one nil game out of four, and in the league they have conceded seven goals in six games. Bruno Geneseo needs to solve the defensive problems as soon as possible. Only then will Lille be able to offer resistance.
Real Madrid has not suffered a single defeat in 10 matches of the season. However, the team has had some failed games: draws with Las Palmas and Mallorca, the Champions League first round match against Stuttgart, in which they completely failed in the first half. Without Toni Kroos, Real Madrid is without a playmaker in the center of the pitch. Madrid now lack a player as intelligent and subtle as he is, capable of controlling the game, which is a problem at times.
