So far Madrid has been one of the strong teams that continues to show their consistency in playing, last season we could see how Madrid was able to answer many challenges to be able to maintain their performance in competing in the domestic league and the Champions League although without a central striker but Madrid was still able to show the sharpness of their attacking line thanks to the tactics and strategies used by Ancelotti so far, The void of the central striker can be replaced by the role of Bellingham which is indeed a plotted slightly forward by Ancelotti as a midfielder, without Mbappe Madrid is still able to become a team that can dominate La Liga and the Champions League and of course we will see next season how Mbappe can have a big influence on Madrid.
Mbappe is of course a great attacker but even without Mbappe, of course Madrid is still very strong, but indeed we have to admit that the arrival of Mbappe will make Madrid attacking line next season very dangerous, there are several players who previously played in Mbappe position, so maybe Ancelotti will try to play Mbappe as a Madrid central striker.
I feel like they are looking at some of their players as "do we still need this guy?" right about now lol. They already got rid of Joselu basically, and they are looking at Rodrygo as a winger they may actually not need for too long if they could sell that one too, and they lost Kroos already, and may just let Modric retire in the end too. They have some amazing talent right now and they are looking into this as golden generation that could win them so many cups and titles.
I mean these players are so young that for at least another 5 seasons they are still at their peak, and after that they are not at peak but still good enough to win too. So this is going to be amazing, it reminds me of the Real Madrid I remember from 10 years ago.
If they are willing to spend a lot of money, I am pretty sure that they can get any players that they want. And I do not think approach or mindset from Real Madrid is actually like-
"Do we still need this player?" |
I think it is more like-
“We have this player so let’s make the best use of him” |
They had an older generation and they were able to make the best use of that older generation. But right now they are definitely to a new generation and sooner or later Those old players are going to leave Real Madrid. I remember playing FIFA 14 and Casemiro, Modric, Benzema, and Carvajal was still in the Real Madrid squad back then. Sometimes it really feels that time flies so fast.
Anyway, I absolutely agree that with the new generation coming into the Real Madrid squad, they definitely can afford to change some of the players that they have right now. But I will say even though the players that they have are going to probably be able to give their performance for a long time, Real Madrid should still not take things for granted.
