The white team performed better when Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde started together
Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde. It is so clear that Real Madrid played their best games with them from start to attack Benzema is indispensable for this squad. Ancelotti has to find the formula to bring everyone together, because the one day he did, in Martínez Valero, Real Madrid offered without a doubt their best version yet this season.
In fact, the Italian has come to confirm at a press conference that they are studying the possibility of playing a 4-2-3-1 with Rodrygo chasing Benzema, like that day in Elche. In that game Tchouaméni came on as a substitute and Kroos and Modric played in midfield. It will be necessary to see if the Italian dares to bet again with this option, was already with these two mediocentros or with Ceballos, Tchouaméni or Camavinga like other options.
It should be noted that while Vinicius has been a regular this seasonAn irreplaceable and absolutely essential player at Real Madrid, Rodrygo and Valverde have not had an easy start to 2023. The former Santos player, despite being in the top five of the season at Real Madrid, knows his place at Real Madrid is not guaranteed. the team. But his level is so high that Ancelotti is considering a change in the system that he has not used as a Madrid coach before. This nuance shows that Rodrygo is a special footballer who can help this team enormously in that midfield position. In addition to goals, he knows how to invent and cherish his teammates with balls so that they end up at scoring moments. Apart from the ten goals he scored, he has provided six assists this season, being the second player of the team to have participated in more goals (16)tied with Benzema and only behind Vinicius (20).
Fede Valverde for his part has guaranteed his place in the eleven, but the start of 2023 was bitter. Uruguay’s painful performance at the World Cup left the footballer broken, who arrived like a plane to Qatar. The disappointment suffered, together with personal problems, have put a mental strain on the player and he has noticed it on the field. He was unrecognizable against Atlético de Madrid, but since then he has raised the level again and little by little he looks more like that footballer who amazed him in the early stages of the season. The goal against Al-Ahly should be another turning point and a ball of huge confidence in a fundamental footballer for the team. The only one that performs at an excellent level in attack and defense.
