The test of damages that the real Madrid Last season in his defense is going to be an anecdote of what, in just two months of competition, he has experienced this season. Undoubtedly, the biggest ‘stick’ is the latter Dani Carvajal that he will not play again, at the earliest, until next season but the truth is that he is not the only one on the side.
And in recent days it has been known that David Alaba, who also injured his knee on December 17, 2023, will not play again until January 2025. A fact that Real Madrid hopes does not need to be assumed because it counted so that the Austrian can return to the team this October. However, the severity of his injury in an area as complex as the knee means that the player has to continue to recover and without fully knowing what his fitness will be like when he returns to the field of play.
To this, we must add the damage of military that he has not been able to travel with his team this break and that he has had two ailments so far this campaign, all related to muscle issues. In this way, Ancelotti was left with a square defense just where Rüdiger and Vallejo They are the healthy center backs. And, to make matters worse, the German is with his team who expect him to protect himself from the ‘FIFA Virus’ that lurks in these types of breaks.
Experiments again
As things are, that’s how it is Carlo Ancelotti This is your chance to ‘pull’ again experiments like delay Tchouaméni in the middle of the defense or, in more extreme situations with new injuries, play in Camavinga either Valverde on one of the sides.
All this is the result of planning that becomes tight due to the number of games and unexpected events throughout the season and the firm decision not to sign anyone in the winter market. If troops are needed and the first team is exhausted, the reserve team will be looked at. And nothing else.
Since this is a decision that takes time, past examples have shown that this is sufficient. Without going any further, last year they managed to win LaLiga and the Champions League with a similar panorama. It will be necessary to see if this time the play will work as well or Real will have to add ‘rosco’.
