It is not a secret that throughout this season at Real Madrid, a particular Jude Bellingham has been the focus of a great deal of attention. To tell you the truth, I don’t see why he wouldn’t be. After all, he is the leading scorer in La Liga at the moment and has carried his success over to the international stages as well.
Dani Carvajal, a club veteran, is still working behind the scenes, despite the fact that he is not in the spotlight. According to MARCA, the Spaniard, who has had recent difficulty with injuries, is gradually working his way back to his finest form and is becoming untouchable for both his club and his nation.
When questioned about previous injuries, he said, “they do not occur for a single reason,” as stated by MARCA. “I believe that everything is body and mind,” he added.
“In 2021, I barely played 12 games, relapse after relapse… a tunnel from which I could not see a way out,” he stated. “It seemed like there was no way out.”
Caravajal is back, and he’s better than ever.
Carvajal had a series of injuries in the past, but he has now regained his position as an unquestioned starter, not only for Real Madrid but also for the Spanish national team.
A revival of sorts has taken place as a direct consequence of the defender’s ability to combine their cerebral acumen and physical skill. His brilliant performances are now shining a light on both ends of the game.
At Real Madrid, he is thriving with Federico Valverde and Rodrygo, and on the international scene, he just delivered two brilliant assists against Cyprus, setting up Ferran Torres and Joselu. On the international level, he is shining with Federico Valverde and Rodrygo.
There is more than what is shown here.
Carvajal has just finished two full games with Spain. Prior to this, he had essentially played in every league match, with the exception of a meager 14 minutes against Getafe. These 180 minutes came after he had completed two full games with Spain.
At the age of 31, with a contract that runs until 2025, the right-back position at Madrid looks to be his, provided that the ghosts of his past do not come back to haunt him.
In addition, throughout the course of this season, it has become into a commonplace occurrence to see him playing with the captain’s armband on. The fact that Nacho is unable to hold down a starting position at the moment has made him the de facto leader of the team. This duty as captain has been his default responsibility.
“I have many years left on my contract, and it is my sincere desire to be able to retire here. “I think that the moment of leaving the club must be one of the most difficult, and I think that being in Madrid is the greatest thing for a footballer, so leaving the club must be one of the most difficult moments,” the defender said in an interview.
Because Real Madrid is already without many first-team players owing to injury, all they can do for the time being is cross their fingers and hope that he is not troubled by the ghosts of his previous performances.
