Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid they return to work and they do it with still many players on vacation and starting next to the Castile, with a mix that seeks to shape the first training sessions of the season with a minimum number of players. The Italian coach has many unknowns to clear up, starting with the way of playing, how to place the new players, and above all, the way to replace the absence of Karim Benzemaa reference footballer in recent seasons.
As usual, and coinciding with the start of the work, the president of the entity, Florentino Prezand the general director of the same, jose angel sanchezthey will meet with Carlo Ancelotti to deal with all pending issues such as finishing planning the pre-season work and talking about the current squad in terms of possible casualties and who knows if any more signings.
On this occasion there will be another matter that is out of the norm in this type of meeting and that is none other than the subject of the selection of Brazil. Ancelotti has at all times informed of the Brazilian interest in signing him, even Ednaldo Rodrgues has been in contact with valdebebas to comment on the situation. What they did not expect was that official announcement of the arrival of the Italian to the Brazilian bench on June 30.
Gler’s funny anecdote: he went up early with Florentino
More than liking it or not, what it has been able to create is a bit of uncertainty around the figure of the entrancer. oh what ancelotti wants to clarify everything and make it clear that the absolute priority at all times is for and by the real Madrid. The dialogue between the club and the manager is permanent, but the truth is that the distance caused by the holidays and the statements by the president of the CFB They have been able to dislodge more than one. Nothing better than talking about it and solving possible tensions.
the way to play
Regarding the way of playing, the preparation of the squad has varied and ancelotti is going to lean towards a clear change in the scheme, placing a rhombus in the center of the field as a starting point, with bellingham at the vertex, with Rodrygo and Vinicius in attack. Change is needed more than ever. In this way, introduce a fourth midfielder, the most populated position in the squad. With Joselu on the field, the scheme will return to the more traditional 1-4-3-3.
The arrival of arda gler opens up more possibilities in attack, since at first he arrives to add to the offensive part of the team, rather than as a midfielder. Time and his adaptation will determine his participation and presence in the team.
There are five players who arrive. The accounts are clear, four have gone up as were Asensio, Hazard, Mariano and Benzema and three of them arrive Brahim, Joselu and Arda Gler. In theory, one square would be missing, the great unknown to be resolved in the coming weeks. Either with the figure nine or with the commented signing of mbapp. Fran García seems to be playing a more important role than some believed. Doubts about Mendy’s continuation are still on the table.
They welcome Bellingham to the national team… Singing the Tenth anthem to him!
