Real Madrid Village Due To Injury Storm, Radar Scouting Is Activated At Christmas

Real Madrid must actively hunt players due to an injury storm (Instagram/@realmadrid).

JAKARTA - Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is in the middle of the village. The storm of injuries that befell his team made Los Blancos no longer have a qualified squad depth.

Names such as Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Daniel Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao have been sidelined.

Most recently, David Alaba followed his colleague into the treatment room. The absence of the Austrian national team player left Ancelotti no more choice in the back lines.

Moreover, the Italian coach had to face the fact that Nacho could not be taken down because he was undergoing card accumulation.

Several plans are already in Ancelotti's head. One of them shifts Tchouameni, who may be fit after the holiday, as a center-back with Antonio Rudiger.

The plan cannot be separated from the poor performance of the Rudiger and Nacho couple in the heart of defense. Now, Ancelotti is persuading Tchouameni to appear according to his plan.

However, the alternative is temporary. Ancelotti needs to be active in the transfer market for maximum strengthening.

A week after the player's crisis, Ancelotti had a chance to argue within Madrid. There are several opinions against strengthening the defense.

However, the current conditions prompted the team to immediately look for defenders. Right at Christmas 2023, Ancelotti asked Madrid's scouting, June Calafat to activate radar.

Indeed, there are the names Rafa Marin and Raphael Varane. Marin is actually a Los Blancos player who is being loaned to Deportivo Alaves.

Hanya, Madrid hingga kini belum menghubungi pihak Alaves untuk membawa pulang pemainnya. Namun, perjanjian Marin masih sampai akhir musim atau tengah tahun 2024.

As for Varane, the French player was not included in the priority target.

June Calafat was asked by Ancelotti to look for a young center-back for a longer projection.

Real Madrid is quite late in hunting players. This condition was then criticized by Nacho, who until now no purchase has been realized.

"Everything has to change a lot, but there may be injuries or other circumstances."

"Until the end of the market, anything can happen," said Nacho at Marca.

Real Madrid are currently returning to the top of the standings to shift Girona. Both teams collected 45 points until the Christmas holidays.
