The appointment of Lopetegui will herald a possessive style of play, and with world class midfielders like Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Isco and Assensio among others, who are good at holding and passing the ball still at the club, they can reap the maximum benefits from his style and start dominating the smaller teams.
The potential of them creating chances from possession was seen in the the UCL final vs Liverpool, specially in the second half when the reds barely couldn't have the ball back. Real had 65 percent ball possession and 14 attempts.
