It was a hard-fought victory for Real Madrid, which they achieved by defeating Almeria by a score of 3-2. However, the triumph came at the expense of Jude Bellingham collecting his fifth yellow card of the season. This indicates that the England international will serve his one-match ban when Real Madrid plays Las Palmas away from their home stadium.
In addition to the news, the Spanish daily MARC has confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti has made the decision to deploy Brahim Diaz as a replacement for Bellingham, who is now suspended. There is a consensus among the management that the most advantageous position for Brahim would be as an attacking midfielder, which is the position that Bellingham plays.
Neither Brahim nor Madrid will want to be without Bellingham.
The Englishman adds a wonderful balance to the club, and the former Manchester City and Milan winger will want to make sure that the supporters forget about Bellingham, who plays a major part in both attack and defense, just for this game. Bellingham is a significant player in both areas.
The Bellingham team has retrieved 73 balls in La Liga, which is equivalent to an average of 4.29 recoveries per game. He is now ranked third on the squad in terms of ball recoveries, behind only Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos himself.
In the meanwhile, it is important to remember that Bellingham was not included in the starting eleven for Real Madrid’s encounter against Las Palmas earlier this season. This was due to the fact that the manager wanted him to have a break before the subsequent series of matches.
In spite of the fact that he was experiencing soreness in his shoulder, Brahim started for Madrid for the first time in that game and made a huge contribution by scoring a goal and contributing to the game.
Brahim has the trust of Ancelotti.
Even though Brahim has had a rough start at Real Madrid, it is clear that he has managed to win over Carlo Ancelotti by winning his favor. This is because Brahim is keen to put in more effort.
At the beginning of the season, things did not seem to be going well for him; but, he maintained his patience, waited for his opportunity, and turned things around by scoring six goals across all competitions.
Because of the high level of intensity that he brings to the field everytime he plays, he has been given the chance to become a significant player for the club and to serve as Bellingham’s backup. This season, he has participated in 23 games, although he has not yet racked up a thousand minutes of playing time.
