Ancelotti is Going to 'get Rid' of a Regular Starter in Girona, He Will Not Play after San Mamés

Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow at San Mamés last Wednesday when they lost to Athletic Bilbao. The red-and-whites won a match that could have consequences for Real Madrid's starting eleven. Tchouaméni could go from being a starter to starting on the bench .

At La Catedral, Tchouaméni was returning from injury and Ancelotti put him straight into the starting eleven. But he was seen to be lacking rhythm, he needs more time and Real Madrid ended up suffering from this. For this reason, the Italian coach is reportedly thinking of reversing his decision.

We still don't know what lineup he will field at Montilivi against Girona , but some predictions suggest that Tchouaméni will not be there. The midfield will once again be occupied by Ceballos and Fede Valverde . Bellingham will have freedom of movement and the one who returns to the starting lineup is Brahim.

With the Moroccan international, Carletto has a player who, without the ball, integrates into the center of the field. But when they have possession, he allows them to return to the 4-3-3 to make the field bigger. This is the plan he is using to try to get back on the winning track.

No Rotations for Ancelotti in a Match That Seems Like a Final

The match against Girona is a game that looks like the final for the Merengues because of what it could mean. If they win, it will be a real blow to the table, conquering a difficult field against a Champions League rival. In addition, it will allow them to maintain the distance with Barça in the standings, currently at 4 points.

But if they don't win, it will be another game against a tough opponent that Real Madrid can't get ahead of. They have lost against Liverpool, Barça and Milan and they drew against Atlético de Madrid. That's why Los Blancos can't afford to leave the 3 points behind at Montilivi.

For this reason, Ancelotti doesn't want to make many changes to the starting eleven, in fact, only Brahim would come in for Tchouaméni . And in the midfield mentioned above, they would be joined by Rdorygo and Mbappé in attack. While in defense Fran García and Asencio will remain with Rüdiger, Lucas and Courtois.
