I don’t think Real Madrid defenders are the cause of the problem. I think the coach has a fault in this. I think Carvajal should have less playing time. Going down to their central defenders like Rudiger and Militao are doing a good job in the absence of David Alaba. Also, I think Nacho is a bit slow and isn’t really going forward and attacking more.
In terms of midfielders, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are almost worn out players. Players doing the real job are Camavinga and Valverde as they’ve been instrumental in linking the defense to the attack.
During the game against Liverpool, Toni Kroos should have supported Vini Jnr to attack from the left side and couldn’t.
I do think Madrid should change their coach who would be willing to bring in new players.
Rudiger has been instrumental since his arrival and I don’t see him as a problem. As for Dani Carvajal he his just looking tired after playing almost all games this seas and that is what you get when you don’t have any back up. Nacho isn’t an outright wing back so putting blames on him is not fair because he is played outta of position.
Luka Modric and Kroos cannot be replaced at the moment because Touchemani is yet to get back to full fitness and the two older players are the only creative players Madrid has at the moment.
Ancelotti consistent stubbornness to play Valverde at the right flank might have worked out last season but almost every team has figure that pattern out already. Players like Asensio or Rodrigo should be played there often.
