As happened last year with the inclusion of Jude Bellingham and the absence of a forward, except for Joselu, who was part of the starting eleven of Ancelottithe Italian will have to recompose his pieces this summer.
And this time with the added obstacle of not relying on Toni Kroos, a key figure in the development of the game and a unique profile in the squad because, even without taking into account his almost perfect technical level, there is no player in the squad white which can be said to be its natural replacement.
Perhaps the closest is Dani Ceballosfor his ability to play and control the ball, but the Sevillian, in addition to having a more secondary role, has a more offensive vocation than a midfielder.
There are options
So, the options that Ancelotti could have on his board are many. Not all of them are perhaps equally good and, of course, what they are is different from anyone who can be with Toni Kroos, and in a squad where most of the midfielders (Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouaméni and Bellingham ) is outstanding. more because of their physique than because of their technical quality, it would be difficult to assign any of them the role of creator.
It is postulated as such Jude Bellingham, who probably knows the job best after training more with Borussia Dortmund and the English team. However, it cannot be denied that the British will need time (he is only 20 years old) to learn all the automatisms required by a role such as he has developed. Toni Kroos in the middle of Real Madrid’s field.
Luka Modric, now a veteran, can act as support but his role in the 24/25 season squad is expected to be a more secondary one due to a lack of physical capacity and endurance. In its part, faith Valverdeto inherit the German ‘8’, has no technical condition of Cross while Arda Gülerwho have them, maybe a little too young to get those drawings.
Yes, it can change, as well as Camavinga which is possibly next door Bellinghamwith the most technical conditions and, above all, the right age to learn a new role.
Be that as it may, the truth is that this preseason, that is real Madrid kicks off in less than a month, it will undoubtedly be a testing ground for Ancelotti and his men who, if they have shown anything these years, is their ability to adapt to the resources at their disposal.
