Ancelotti underpins the center of defense with the German international. His signing moves Alaba to the whites’ left back.
How Madrids’ eleven looks with the arrival of Rudiger
Real Madrid has made the arrival of Rüdiger official this Thursday. The 14-time European champion continues with his plan for his future and rearms his defense with the German center-back after he left Chelsea after finishing his contract. Rüdiger , 29, is committed to Madrid until 2026 and has a release clause of 450 million euros. Carlo Ancelotti will be able to line up an eleven formed by Courtois in goal, a sure thing under the sticks; a defensive line with Carvajal, Militao, Rüdiger and Alaba , the Austrian would be displaced to the left side with the arrival of Rüdiger; the engine room in the center of the field will continue to be occupied by Casemiro, Kroos and Modric; while the attack is led by Rodrygo and Vinicius from the flanks escorting Benzema up front. On the bench, and in the absence of any possible exit, they await their opportunity: Vallejo, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Lucas Vázquez, Ceballos, Camavinga, Hazard, Asensio, Jovic and Mariano.
Great importance of Rudiger and how he may help out Madrid’s play
The agreement between Rudiger and Real Madrid has been closed for weeks. The defender passed a first ‘test’ as a target in the match against Liverpool in the FA Cup final. He came out with a good note by drying out an electric player like Luis Díaz. The German chose ‘The Players’ Tribune’ to break his silence about his future: “Unfortunately, my contract negotiations had already started to get complicated last fall. Business is business, but when you don’t have news from the club from August to January , the situation is complicated…”. It can be speculated that Rudiger will greatly help out Real in the game.
