Less than a week before Real Madrid start the preseason, Carlo Ancelotti He is still waiting like the rain in May for the arrival of a good striker to support an offensive plan in which there are only four players (came, Rodrygo, Joselu and Brahim) after the explosion of Benzema, Asensio, Hazard and Marian.
There are still many market days to go but don’t know if the Madrid to sign or not kylian mbappe, the star of the summer whether it stays at the Parque de los Príncipes or lands at the Bernabéu. Meanwhile, Carletto You must design a squad layout that is short in attack but large in the middle of the field with 7 troops: Modric, Kroos, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Ceballos and Valverde.
The Uruguayan position will largely determine the white system. He Birdie He has been key, alternating between right-handed winger and interior player roles over the past two seasons and this year, due to midfield overload and the loss of Benzemaindicates that he can repeat in front if Rodrygo starting as a center forward and Joselu and Brahim at the bank.
last campaign Valverde finished as the fourth leading scorer for the white team with 12 goals (same as Asensio) in the back Benzema (31), Vinicius (23) and Rodrygo (19) and the Madrid you will need to increase your quota because otherwise Karim and Frame the white box lost 43 goals compared to last season.
Fierce competition in the midfield with newcomer Bellingham, the explosion of Camavinga and the existence of Tchouameni, Cross and Modric invite you to think about it Valverde it will be easier to be a starter up front. It is as it were, it is almost certain that the charrúa will continue to be an indispensable piece for Carlo Ancelotti.
Last season he participated in 56 of 61 games Madrid and he is the third most used player by the Italian coach in number of minutes (4,402) behind only Thibaut Courtois (4,470) and of Vinicius (4,759). Only one of 61 official matches was lost due to injury (two as a precaution) and he started all decisive matches of Champions, Copa del Rey and League.
Waiting for what will happen in a summer that will be very long, everything indicates that he will maintain his status as a capital footballer, whether he is a midfielder or a striker. If it is as an attacker, that means a bigger headache for Carlettobecause it means that the long-awaited striker did not come.
