Unit B is back to stay

Carlo Ancelotti He had already decided on the eleven where the real Madrid to play the European Super Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt next August 10 in Helsinki: Both started in the final of Champions against him Liverpool. The Italian coach rewards the main architects of the Fourteenth.

In the last friendly against Juventus, the one from Reggiolo proved to be satisfied with how his starting line-up outplayed his rival from start to finish and proved that he is ready to fight for the first title of the season. Barring a last-minute accident, in Finland they will play: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Kroos, Casemiro; Valverde, Benzema and Vinicius.

To replacements and newcomers Tchouameni Y Rudiger they have to wait to be part of the game. And it’s not because they didn’t make merits during the preseason. The white team has clearly followed an upward line in the tour’s three friendlies (loss, draw and victory) mainly thanks to the level offered by the less common.

In Ceballos Y Camavinga ahead, the squad of substitutes vindicated itself in the United States to show that Madrid’s squad is deep and that, as was the case in the 2016/2017 season with Zidane In banking, the less common can be decisive in conquering titles.

So substitute like Pepe, Morata, Isco, James or Kovacic They are the most important in the League title coming off the bench or participating in the French coach’s rotation policy to rest the starters.

double position

In the absence of Madrid can be output Mary (already Odriozola) for Ancelotti to have the substitute nine that he has, the white squad has doubled all the positions with players who have shown guarantees. In addition, the signatures of Antonio Rudiger and of Aurélien Tchouaméni they solve two of the shortcomings of the white team last season: the fourth center guarantees and a midfielder profile that allows substitution Casemiro.

So, in the absence of knowing who will relieve Mendy on the left side, the Madrid He doubled positions, a situation that allowed Ancelotti to rotate, something unusual for the Italian, who prefers to pull from the same eleven and manage the breaks.
