Ancelotti’s conundrum in the Anfield ‘final’

He real Madrid already glimpsed on the horizon the transcendental conflict against Liverpool on 27th November at Anfield with a mission to straighten its course Europe. After a break, wait Leganes in Butarquebut all eyes within the white club are focused on the rivalry of Championswith qualification to the next stage seriously compromised after defeat against Milan who left those of Carlo Ancelotti in position 18 in the League stage.

The set of Arne Slott He showed himself in the event as one of the best contenders on the continent, leader in Champions with perfect victories (10 goals scored and only one lost in four games) and also at the top of the league table premier. He Madridinstead, will go to Anfield with more doubts than certainties and with the squad picked up with tongs due to the plague of injuries plaguing the Carlo Ancelotti.

They will be a safe casualty Carvajal and militarywhich is in dry dock throughout the course, praise and Rodrygo. Lucas was also hurt Vazquez and Tchouaménibut his presence in Liverpool is doubtful and the uncertainty is conditional on the Chamartín team’s plans for the final of Anfield.

Currently, the only first team centre-back available Carletto is Antonio Rudiger and the second option the Italian uses is to delay again Tchouaménisomething he had done regularly last season with good results. In the event that the Frenchman does not recover in time from the sprained ankle suffered against Milanthe German companion on the rear axis is Raul Asencio. The center back of the quarry made his official debut against the Osasuna but it hasn’t been released yet Champions.

Another big question is Lucas Vazquezwho suffered a muscle injury against Osasuna and, according to the appointed times, he will come precisely to the battle against those Arne Slott. The Curtis player is the starting full-back after Carvajal’s triple knee break and, if he recovers, he will be in charge of defending on a right wing where he will face one of the best forwards at the moment: Luis Diaz.

If Lucas is not at Ancelotti’s disposal at Anfield, the Italian coach’s solution will almost certainly be to put Fede Valverde at right back. The Uruguayan is the Madrid midfielder who has offered the best performance in this campaign but is also the all-purpose player for the Reggiolo coach. Besides, Pajarito already knows what it’s like to play as a winger at Anfield, he did it in the second leg of the 20/21 Champions League quarterfinals but, yes, the stands were empty due to the covid pandemic.
