Real Madrid Femenino are still a relatively new club, having been founded as Club Deportivo TACON back in 2014, but only known officially as Real Madrid since 2020, following their takeover by the Spanish giants.
As a result, their squad doesn’t yet have the same influence in women’s football that the men’s team enjoy in their game.
However, that is not to say that they don’t have quality in the squad, with one player who has really stood out for them being Olga Carmona, the 21-year-old left-sided player who joined the club in 2020 from Sevilla Femenino, and who can feature at full-back, wing-back or as a winger.
This Olga Carmona scout report will look at how she has become an integral part of Real Madrid Femenino’s tactics this season, focusing on how Carmona has fitted into their attack and defence, as well as how she has been a key player in their transitional play, helping to move the ball into the opposing half at speed.
Olga Carmona Defence
We will first focus on Olga Carmona’s defensive play, as this is where she has featured in the majority of games this season.
However, despite being positionally limited when Real Madrid Femenino are out of possession, she is still able to display her individual qualities, and this section will break down how she does this.
Here, we see Real Madrid with five players in their defensive line.
They have been interchangeable in their formations during the current campaign, having used a 4-4-2 setup 27% of the time and a 3-4-1-2 in 20% of their matches.
