The leader plays a new day of vital LaLiga next Sunday, after the poor results achieved in the last games and being eliminated against Athletic in the Cup. Real Madrid will want to win the three points against a Granada that seems to have found its style and It will be a tough opponent.
The whites are beginning to feel the effort, because as has been shown, the squad is not balanced enough, and Ancelotti is using the same pieces almost every moment. This can go well, until there are injuries, as is the current case, because Benzema and Mendy, two very important footballers, are injured. Mariano will not be available either, so Ancelotti will have to use a 9-year-old Jovic or go back to playing with a false striker, something that did not go well against Athletic.
Ancelotti will also have problems on the wing, as Vinicius will be absent due to an accumulation of cards, which leaves the Whites’ attack desolate, given the lack of competitiveness shown by Bale and Hazard. Even so, everything seems to indicate that the Belgian will be the one chosen to play on the left, since Madrid cannot afford to have a player like this separated.
In midfield, the question is whether Ancelotti will rotate and use Fede Valverde in Modric’s position, after Thursday’s game in which the Croatian played 90 minutes. In defense we could see Marcelo again on the left side, as it has been shown that the team needs Alaba as a central defender who gives the ball out. In the right-hand lane, Carvajal will return to the detriment of Lucas Vázquez, so the starting eleven would look like this:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde; Asensio, hazardJovic.
