He confirmed that he made a Mistake when he set out his team against ATM but had to correct that in this match. The attacking dou of Rodrigo and Joselu was crucial and that was what was missing in the last match. Brahim Diaz has waited to have his opportunity to start today and he definitely backed that with a goal which he deserves, I just hope he doesn’t get pulled back to the bench to accommodate the return of Vinicius. A great game by Madrid and I think this season tittle will be interesting.
Ancelotti may realize that Real Madrid was playing too defensively against Atletico Madrid. They have too many center midfielders at that time, they only have Rodrygo as a pure attacker. I think the result can be different if Ancelotti put Joselu-Rodrygo-Brahim Diaz on the front line. These 3 players deserve to play as main attackers and they are supported by Bellingham-Kroos-Valverde in the midfield line. TBH, this formation that I expected on the match against Atletico Madrid.
Hopefully, in the Girona game, Ancelotti won't make any attempts to pretend the game isn't important like he did against Ateltico.
Girona are still playing very well and Girona's consistency is still maintained so Madrid should not do things that are detrimental to their club.
Vini is still unavailable but there are still a few players who could be an option instead of forcing Jude into the striker position it would be better to force Rodrygo and Joselu even though in this case it seems that the 2 striker scheme is also a little hampering Rodrygo.
But by placing Jude back at second striker it could be a good thing because even though Modric played well but I think he is still very suitable as an attacking midfielder not a second striker.
I totally understand why people are worried about how Ancelotti is going to play against Girona. I also hope that he doesn't forget how important games like the one against Atletico are. I see Girona's strong and consistent play, and I believe that Madrid would be hurt by ignoring them. I agree with you that Jude shouldn't be forced to play striker. Even though the two-striker plan isn't ideal, I think Rodrygo and Joselu would be a better fit in this case. I believe it would be smart to move Jude back to second scorer. Even though Modric is very good, I strongly think that he would be better off as an attacking midfielder instead of a second striker. Your ideas do indeed point out the most important choices Madrid needs to make in the next game
