Big Question Ancelotti Must Solve against Valladolid, There's Only One Unknown

Ancelotti doubts a crucial position before the game with Valladolid and it will be vital for the game

Real Madrid's next game will be today against Real Valladolid at their home, aiming to secure the three points. In this regard, the match will be of great importance not only because of the challenge it presents but also for what it represents for the end of the season. However, it seems that Ancelotti has certain doubts regarding a specific position.

It concerns the midfield, where Ancelotti's primary doubt is whether to start Ceballos or Tchouaméni in the pivot role. For many, this doubt is simply incomprehensible given the good form the Andalusian has shown recently. Coupled with the fact that the Frenchman is not at his best, the decision seems somewhat controversial.

Nevertheless, it must be noted that the Italian coach is the one who makes the final decision regarding these players. Thus, the only way to know what the final outcome of this decision will be is when the line-up is revealed.

Ancelotti has doubts

The Italian coach seems not to be entirely convinced about the pivot position, as he has doubts between these two players. One of them has managed to exploit his maximum qualities this season, where there is a significant gap due to Toni Kroos's retirement.

Ceballos, this season, has been able to play more minutes than some might have expected, with almost 1000 minutes in 21 matches. In these, he has been an essential piece for the balance and distribution of the ball from the back, which has given the team mobility.

On the other hand, although Aurélien Tchouaméni has shown improvement in his recent performances, he still generates quite a few doubts among the fans. However, Ancelotti's reasons for doubting this position are starting to raise questions among the fans.

He sees something we don't

Probably, the coach, over the past few weeks, hasn'ticed a considerable improvement in the Frenchman's performance. Something we will know if he starts the French player instead of the Sevillian. A decision that will surely give much to talk about.
