Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti Makes Changes for Valencia, Will Give This Player a Second Chance
The Reggiolo coach is already thinking about the starting eleven for the next LaLiga match
Real Madrid, after securing a spot in the Copa del Rey final, shifts its focus back to the competitive LaLiga schedule. The hard-fought outcome of the semifinals against Real Sociedad doesn't prevent the white club from needing to stay in the fight for the LaLiga leadership against FC Barcelona. The match of the 30th round will pit them against a Valencia eager to definitively distance itself from the relegation zone.
The Levantine team visits Santiago Bernabéu in a match that Carlo Ancelotti is already analyzing at Ciudad Real Madrid. The Italian strategist, according to information published by "Relevo," might include in the initial line-up a player who was a substitute in the cup clash against Real Sociedad. Fran García's return to the starting line-up has several angles.
According to this sports outlet, the white '20' would be back in the line-up for the league clash against Valencia. Such a decision desired by Carlo Ancelotti would be a second chance for the Castilian-Manchegan footballer, one of the highlighted in the league commitment Real Madrid-Leganés, also played at the merengue stronghold. The opportunity to redeem himself is once again within reach given the complex situation at left-back.
Because Ferland Mendy is still injured. While it's true that the French '23' is slowly progressing in his recovery, he wouldn't have the competitive clearance to return to the merengue sports discipline. This situation has led Carlo Ancelotti, for example, to place Eduardo Camavinga against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semifinal return in that position.
Complicated Situation
The French '6' match against the txuri-urdin discipline also would have sparked some debate within the coaching staff. To facilitate rotation between both footballers, considering Ferland Mendy's absence, Carlo Ancelotti seems to have reserved the merengue stopper, as left-back, for the most important matches. At least while the French '23', his 'favorite' for that position, remains in Valdebebas's infirmary.
Despite the fact that the 24/25 campaign is Fran García's second season in the white first team, he hasn't been able to earn Carlo Ancelotti's trust since his return. Not at least completely, even though the Reggiolo coach has indeed surprised on several occasions by giving Ferland Mendy a rest... placing Fran García in his place these past months.
The match against Valencia, to be played this very Saturday, April 5, will be a great opportunity for the merengue '20'. If he performs well, he could prove that he possesses the necessary level to compete with Eduardo Camavinga for the definitive starting position at left-back. Be that as it may, Ferland Mendy will always be Carlo Ancelotti's number one for that position.
The attacking abilities of Fran García make him a good player to reinforce the merengue entity's playing ideas, one of the weak points of this season. However, other aspects of his performance on the field still don't convince the coaching staff... and a Carlo Ancelotti who will give him a second chance on the occasion of Valencia's visit to Santiago Bernabéu stadium
