Madrid’s ‘eleven’: These are Ancelotti’s doubts

He real Madrid received this Tuesday (9:00 pm) at City of Manchester in the first leg of the semifinals of Champions League. It discusses the most important party of the whites in what is happening in the season and there are two doubts about the ‘eleven’ headline of Carlo Ancelotti. The most likely form of it Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga; Valverde, Kroos, Modric; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius. But Nacho and Tchouameni they may also have options. It should be remembered military was allowed.

Camavinga’s paper

Left back or midfielder

The Frenchman will play, that’s clear, but it remains to be seen whether on the left side or as a midfielder. Understanding that the central pair will consist of Rüdiger and Alaba, the question is whether Nacho will come in on the left side or whether Camavinga will continue to play. If Nacho comes in, Camavinga will be the pivot.

Modric’s fuel

It’s a big game, but…

It is rare that Modric does not play in games like this, but the Croatian is not going through his best moment and could fall into the ‘eleven’. If he doesn’t start, and the other two midfield positions are reserved for Kroos and Valverde, Camavinga will play as a midfielder if Nacho is a left back. The other option, though unlikely, is for Tchouaméni to play.

Fede Valverde is playing, but at the back

It will be a third and not a fourth midfielder

Unlike other seasons in important matches, Fede Valverde will not be a ‘false right winger’ who is actually a fourth midfielder. This time, he acted directly in the midfield, being the third unit in the middle of the field

Rodrygo got a place

He will act on the right wing

If it weren’t for the fact that he was leaving, Rodrygo would be more of a resource than part of the main plan. But the Brazilian’s level is great and so there is no doubt that he will occupy the right side of the attack.
