Ancelotti faces the Super Cup final in the middle of the season and with the team beginning to show the first signs of fatigue. These are the five concerns of the coach to face Athletic in the final:
Without him, Madrid lacks a leader, his presence on the pitch is more than important. In the first place, when the ball is released, he is a player who, with the ball at his feet, plays like a midfielder and against Barcelona it was noticeable, after falling back 1-0, the team had a hard time leaving. Secondly, he is a player who makes his teammates better. The clearest case is that of Militao, without Alaba, Militao is not the same.
Lucas will have to occupy the right lane. The Dani thing is starting to piss off Real Madrid. He is incapable of having continuity, we have not been able to see just three games in a row of the Spanish international. Carlo will have to use Lucas as a patch for the side, although today it is possible that the Galician has a higher level than Carvajal due to all the interruptions he has had in the season.
Madrid depends on a 36-year-old man to make his team work. Against Barcelona it was clearer than ever. In the 82nd minute he left the field and the team not only conceded the tie, but spent the entire extra time aimlessly. The physical decline of the team is more than evident.
Carlo only has 15 players and the team begins to show the first signs of fatigue. The defense is more than defined and does not rotate even to play against Alcoyano. The CMK is going through a rough patch and in the semifinals it was noticeable. Casemiro isn’t doing well, Kroos didn’t show up and Luka didn’t last the whole match with gasoline. At the top of the team, players like Benzema and Vini are beginning to lose their spark.
He withdrew Modric so that Valverde could enter, which cost the tie and the drop in terms of the level of the game. Once in extra time with Kroos faded, Camavinga replaced him ten minutes from the end of the match. Carlo is abusing giving a lot of minutes to few players and the season is very long…
