The Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti’s new stage as new coach started the season on the right foot. 10 points out of 12 possible in La Liga with 13 goals in favor and 6 against, not forgetting the win in extremes against Inter Milan at Giuseppe Meazza. There is no doubt that, beyond the game level there are still many things to improve, the merengue team is showing that it has the conditions to fight for the titles.
Most of the players are performing at a fairly high level and Ancelotti is doing good rotations to activate several names, but the Italian coach is not entirely happy with the construction of his squad and has a very important problem for the rest of the Bell. And it is one that has been repeated for many seasons.
A recurring problem
Real Madrid do not have a replacement for Carlos Henrique Casemiro. The Brazilian is one of the few players who have played every minute played by the merengue team. Joining him are Éder Militao and Thibaut Courtois, who play in positions where so many rotations are not needed.
The Brazilian keeps playing every minute and it is a big problem because Ancelotti does not trust another name in the squad, adding that Eduardo Camavinga does not convince him as a positional midfielder and wants to use him more freely to reach the rival area.
The only player capable of occupying that position is Antonio Blanco, who has not yet seen a single minute in the campaign. The coaching staff does not seem to have so much confidence in him, which can overshadow his projection.
Ancelotti has it clear. Real Madrid will suffer a lot if they lose the Brazilian for a long stretch of the season. An injury to him can be a hard blow at a competitive level for a team that intends to compete for everything, although it is far from having the best squad in Europe.
