Canizares discusses Real Madrid's strategy post-Vinicius suspension

Real Madrid earned a notable 4-1 victory over Sevilla as they adjusted to the absence of Vinicius Jr., who is serving a four-match suspension. Former goalkeeper Santi Canizares commented on the team's play, suggesting it improves with only one of its star forwards, Vinicius or Kylian Mbappe, on the field. He highlighted the contributions of Yan Diomande and Federico Valverde and noted the importance of compactness for defensive stability. Canizares also addressed a refereeing controversy regarding Arda Guler following Sevilla's complaints, indicating that such calls have affected Madrid as well this season. The team looks to maintain consistency in their upcoming matches.
