Real made a few transfers to strengthen the defense, this is the right move, but so far I can’t say that it gave an immediate result, it takes time. There is also hope that Carvajal and Militao can return to the game, Militao has already returned to training, and I think that these players will definitely be able to strengthen the defense when they fully return. Alexander-Arnold should also become a starting player, but so far I see that Alonso does not allow him to play the whole match.
LNoNo one can say Madrid backline was weak but they just failed to hold on. Injury sucks them quiet hard. Last season bunches of defenders went down for injury and a lot of results dropped for that. Now they seem to have come up with Defence v2.0 plan by signing Trent Alexander-Arnold for 6 long years to boost their backline. Huijsen is another twist came from Bournemouth for 1.96 million. I think both of them are enough to strengthen the defense.
Vinícius, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Arda Guler, Endrick made the forwards and attack line stacked, so no worries for that part. But midfield? Uh oh. You know Toni Kroos is already gone, Modric is likely next, maybe this season will be his last season with Madrid. Xabi Alonso has work to do to find a worthy replacement for Kroos and Modric.
Short, real, with a bit of flair. Hala Madrid?
