The situation
Real Madrid is warming up for the kick-off of its league season. The debut of the course came with the fifth European Super Cup under his arm, after clearly beating Eintracht in Helsinki (2-0), and now it is the turn of the League. Almería, recently promoted, will be the yardstick for the rotations that Ancelotti announced after Wednesday’s match: “Soon those who haven’t played today will. On Sunday I will freshen up the team a bit” . New faces will be seen at the Power Horse Stadium, led by the two brand new signings, Rüdiger and Tchouameni, who aim to debut in domestic competition from eleven. The German, who has appeared both as a left and right back, has many chances to accompany Militao in the center of the defense, taking into account Carletto’s words in the previous one:“ The first game I put him on the left wing, but usually I will put it as central”. A golden opportunity to test, in this way, Alaba as a left back, another of the alternatives offered by the deck of wild cards that Reggiolo has in defense. With Lucas Vázquez, before Carvajal’s loss to recover 100% of his ankle, completing the puzzle that will protect Courtois, immovable, in goal. Tchouameni , for his part, and after the wear and tear on Casemiro against Eintracht (he was MVP and was everywhere), can act as anchor from the start for the first time in an official match. Valverde, who plays bombastic clashes on the sidelines, could go back to his origins and escort Modric in the line of three in the center of the field. The Halcón has claimed that its best version arrives in the engine room and it is an unbeatable opportunity for Kroos, another who squeezed on Wednesday, to rest before the steepest curves begin. While the overload of Rodrygo opens the doors to ownership wide open for Marco Asensio, whose horizon is not entirely clear and will seek vindication alongside Benzema and Vinicius.The French and the Brazilian did not rotate too much last year and nothing suggests that, at the first change, the dynamics will change.
Possible alignments of Madrid and Almería in the league debut
So Madrid’s most likely lineup for their league debut is: Courtois; Lucas V., Militao, Rüdiger, Alaba; Modric, Tchouameni, Valverde; Asensio, Benzema and Vinicius . While the eleven that have the most ballots to be chosen by Rubí on his return to the First Division, regardless of whether or not last-minute registrations are made, are: Fernando; Well, Ely, Babic, Centelles; Of the sickle; Ramazani, Robertone, Samu, Portillo; Sadiq .
