Journalist Jorge Picon claims that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti would use his bench players more often going forward since the Los Blancos have six games planned in only 16 days.
As a result, players like Toni Kroos, Nacho, Lucas Vazquez, Luka Modric, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz will be used often.
Real Madrid will return to La Liga action on Sunday, September 17, at home against Real Sociedad after the current international break.
The squad from the Spanish capital will play Union Berlin, Atletico Madrid, Las Palmas, Girona, and Napoli between this date and October 3.
This season, veterans have taken a backseat.
Real Madrid’s 2023–24 season turned out to be somewhat different. This season, Ancelotti took a risk by putting together a strikingly different team that includes young players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham.
The three have solidified their status as key players in the coach’s eyes, and it is reasonable to say that their impact on the squad is rising with each game.
As a result, players like Kroos and Modric have had to settle with less playing time and time on the field, despite the fact that their contribution to the club was evident in the game against Getafe.
It’s interesting to see that the manager has carefully prepared his players for this circumstance. He intends to use Modric, Kroos, Nacho, Vazquez, and Nacho, who served as supplementary players at the start of the season.
This also holds true for Brahim and Joselu, who only rose to prominence as a result of Vinicius Jr.’s terrible injury.
Ancelotti has mostly maintained a steady starting lineup from the beginning of the campaign, with the exception of the fourth game against Getafe, when he used two new players.
Injuries also caused two of this season’s early changes, while Kepa Arrizabalaga’s acquisition as the goalkeeper brought about another change.
Last but not least, it is predicted that Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos will soon re-join the club, giving them a competitive advantage in the near future. This will only be a benefit for the team at this time.
