Real Madrid Confidencial Camavinga, K.O., Ancelotti's Made the Decision and Has Communicated It: You're Not Going to Play Anymore.
The French player has become the perfect wildcard for Madrid's coach
Real Madrid returns to training this Monday at 3 p.m. at the Valdebebas Sports City. This comes four days before they play a game again (against Valencia at Mestalla, 9 p.m.) and after a well-deserved break for the Christmas holidays.
Carlo Ancelotti hopes to continue recovering injured players ahead of a January where the white team will once again have a strong and packed schedule. After Friday's game, Madrid will play its first Copa del Rey game against Deportiva Minera (January 6th, 7 p.m.) and will then head to Arabia to play the Spanish Super Cup.
Carletto might be considering presenting variations in the line-ups. Depending on what happens this Friday, it's most likely that, for example, in the game with Deportiva Minera, some players will rest. With these truly intense schedules, the smartest choice is always to opt for pacing.
It's important to remember that the team is facing a historic season where they can win a total of seven titles, having already secured the first two: the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. In 2024, the white team has lifted up to five cups.
Camavinga, permanent full-back
Ancelotti already surprised in the last match of this year, against Sevilla at Santiago Bernabéu (4-2), with Eduardo Camavinga's "new" position. The Frenchman played as a left-back, making it clear to the coach that there's also a problem in that area.
Neither Ferland Mendy nor Fran García have managed to establish themselves. The former is below the level he showed last year, while the latter hasn't taken off or become a standout player. This may have led Ancelotti to make a decisive decision.
According to "Marca," the Italian's staff has concluded that the best option is to count on Camavinga as the left-back for the upcoming matches. Something Carletto already tried with some success last season and will bet on imminently. "You're not going to play as a midfielder anymore until Ferland recovers," Ancelotti reportedly told the "6."
