Ancelotti, Caught Watching Real Madrid's New Right-Back With Davide and Solari

After the hard-fought match against Leganés, Real Madrid is already focused on preparing for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. This clash against Real Sociedad, to be played at Santiago Bernabéu, doesn't prevent the coaching staff from continuing to seek players to expand the first team in the future.

One of the most highlighted footballers in this regard is Jesús Fortea. According to the information published by Guillermo Rai, Carlo and Davide Ancelotti were present this morning at the Alfredo di Stéfano stadium to closely observe his tactical performance. But the two first-team coaches were not alone.

In the photograph published by the journalist from 'The Athletic', it is clearly visible how Santiago Solari, director of soccer of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez, is joining them. This scouting work that the Ancelottis have done during the classic played by Álvaro Arbeloa's Juvenil A once again centers the debate on a rather controversial player.

Because Jesús Fortea has never hidden his intentions to reach the first team: at La Fábrica, he is known as the "new Carvajal" due to his resemblance to the mentioned merengue defender. This player signed from Atlético de Madrid's youth academy is one of the great defensive promises of our time... but he demands a direct step to the first team without having barely any minutes in Real Madrid Castilla.

Complicated Dynamics

The heads of Real Madrid's youth academy, however, understand that the current "2" of Juvenil A must finish his stage under Arbeloa's tactical command... waiting for his definitive promotion to the squad coached by Raúl González Blanco. In this context, Carlo Ancelotti knows he is one of the best footballers at La Fábrica and doesn't want to miss any detail of his progression.

Not only with the hope of meeting the urgent demands that Jesús Fortea made a few months ago, when he jeopardized his continuity. Also due to the intense debate surrounding the right-back position since Dani Carvajal's serious injury. Despite his triple rupture, Leganés's "2" could return for the Club World Cup.

Meanwhile, the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold would provide enough players for that position... regardless of whether a more debated than ever Lucas Vázquez stays or leaves Santiago Bernabéu locker room. Jesús Fortea, in any case, would enter the "predictions" as a substitute for the potential Alexander-Arnold when Carvajal leaves the club.

With the aim of verifying if Jesús Fortea truly has the necessary qualities, the leaders of the first team's coaching staff have closely followed his performance this morning. Thanks to scouting like this, a decision can soon be made about the future of Juvenil A's "2" at Real Madrid.
