The situation
Ancelotti has a new gala eleven and the Clásico confirms it. Camavinga is his almost full-time stopper , with a Tchouameni who has taken as many steps back after the World Cup as he did at the start of the course. Cama has grown, especially in terms of pauses when it comes to reading games , and continues to add important titles just at the time when Real Madrid is playing the season. While Nacho prevails over Mendy , already fully recovered (he was already part of the squad against Liverpool), and sticks out his chest like something more than a patch. The youth squad’s teammates in the rear guard are recited by heart: Carvajal Militao and Rüdiger. The couple formed by the Brazilian and the German has consolidated and is going through its best moment. “ Militao is one of the best central defenders in the world, I think. He has it all . Only, sometimes he is not 100% focused. He is not perfect ”, Carletto pointed out in the preview. Before him he will have the hard test of inhibiting Lewandowski, who could not be in the Copa del Rey duel. Modric and Kroos will try to take advantage of Pedri’s loss to seize control of the midfield from the Catalans, contributing the dose of experience that Camavinga, no matter how much he has matured footballing during the season, still requires. A trident that is consolidated and that brings back the CMK that was lost with the departure of Casemiro to United.
The details
And the gunpowder will be provided by Vinicius, Benzema and Valverde. Karim reserved himself to arrive without cotton to the Classic and must show that his physical doubts are buried before one of his favorite rivals, while Vinicius will fight to get rid of the shackles of an Araújo who will once again try to be his kryptonite . And the Falcon will use his physique to lead the first line of pressure and contribute to his arrival so that the donut of the last Clásico is not repeated. So, with the undoubted presence of Courtois, Madrid’s eleven against Barça is completed like this: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho; Modric, Camavinga, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema and Vinicius.
