Basically Joselu is just a replacement option, Ancelotti's decision to play Joselu as a main player during pre-season cannot be separate from feasibility test considering he had just been brought in. Vinícius Junior's real partner up front is Rodrygo, coach Carlo Ancelotti is prepare the both for a new challenge for Real Madrid in the coming season without Karim Benzema.
For the reserve player level, Joselu isn't too bad in my opinion
When La Liga starts, maybe we will see the real performance of Real Madrid, at this time I agree that Ancelotti in friendly matches only tests the feasibility of players and try various experiments. As usual, coaches often do it to try different strategies. Actually you are right, Real Madrid signed Joselu only as a replacement option but if Ancelotti used a 4-3-3 formation maybe Joselu could have played as a centre-forward.For the reserve player level, Joselu isn't too bad in my opinion
But I have other thoughts that after losing Karim Benzema Real Madrid will not be strong enough in this LaLiga and when compared to Barcelona I am pretty sure that Barcelona will be much better in LaLiga when it starts later.
I see and predict that Barcelona is likely to still be the LaLiga champion and for the runner up there are two possibilities between Real Madrid or Atletico.
Because Atletico and Real Madrid have almost the same performance this season and I don't think that Real Madrid will be weak this season, it's just that they have lost their strength a little after their flagship player went to another club.
Even though I know these recent matches were only friendly matches and only tested a few players but they also still gave their best to see how far they are and as a result Real Madrid have lost several matches in this pre-season and this proves that there has been a slight decline in the performance of their players.

. Barcelona may will be the favourites club, but they in this season will also focus on the UCL events. It is possible that we will see the new La Liga champion Sir, it could be that the 2023/2024 season La Liga title on hand of Atletico Madrid. There is still a possibility right, I mean this could happen when Xavi is only focused on Europa top competition, so they maybe inconsistent collect many points in La Liga.
