To the orphanage of the extreme right now the side is added: Lucas sat Carvajal in Balaídos. The Galician has gone from patch to reality. All starboard is up for debate.
Nine regulars in this season
Madrid has nine regulars and a band -whole- without owners. The one that Lucas Vázquez, this Saturday, turned upside down. And that already had a noticeable disorder. But on paper, if Carvajal was fine, he played, being a luxury spectator of the eternal fight between Rodrygo and Asensio for a vacancy. Still no winner. But everything changed in Balaídos: Lucas sent him to the bench , a confirmation that the Galician is no longer a patch for when number 2 suffers injuries or sanctions; now it is a reality, one more card in the deck . Carvajal is not only no longer indisputable, but he is also highly discussed. The right flank of Madrid staggers, because the debate no longer falls only on the extreme, also on the side.
Sum up the season of Dani Carvajal
Firewood to the bonfire and the embers of opinions grow. Carvajal ‘s season , with a level well below his optimal performance -which led him to be the best right-back in the world for many- has raised some doubts in Ancelotti, who no longer hides what is evident: the right-back is also is up for debate . In Vigo he chose Lucas Vázquez , whom he has used 24 times this year as a right-handed winger, much more than as a winger (6), despite the fact that this is his natural position. The Galician has 1,795 official minutes this season, only 14 ‘less than his healthy competitor (1,809’). And, given recent events, the sorpasso could happen in the short term.
