Real Madrid v AC Milan - Julen Lopetegui on the sidelines

Judging by the type of more aggressive football Real Madrid is playing these days, it looks to be clear that Julen Lopetegui doesn't want his team to hold unwanted possession of the ball. Seemingly looking to create more and more goal scoring opportunities, Lopetegui's Madrid might be the object of dread for their opponents.

His use of the fullbacks to attack from the flanks, and setting up a player free to score the goal or possibly have a sudden run into the box to make an assist displays his intention clearly. Real Madrid is expected to play some great attacking football this season with highly rated talents such as Asensio, Vasquez and Vinicius Junior there to back up their attack.
