Real Madrid is keenly interested in its players competing in the World Cup in Qatar, and in the midst of the World Cup competitions, controversy arose about some of the eleven starting positions among certain sectors of the White Club. Specifically, the position that is causing controversy is the right-back, a position currently occupied by Dani Carvajal, Alvaro Odriozola and Lucas Vazquez at Real Madrid
The discussion was created by Real Madrid defender: Eder Militao. The Brazilian has occupied the right-back position in a World Cup match, and Carlo Ancelotti has a wealth of possibilities, as he will be able to call on more players than Dani Carvajal to support Real Madrid’s defence. The fact that there are players like Militao to fill this position means that Real Madrid will not have to go into the signing market to strengthen themselves
In the last match for Brazil in the World Cup in Qatar, which was held on November 28 against the Swiss national team (1-0), the Brazilian coach Tite changed the eleven matches that he started with, and the surprise jumped when some players fought the match. Besides Neymar’s absence, another change of plan created a topic of conversation: Eder Militao started the game at right-back and, in fact, played the full 90 minutes in that position. Instead of Tite trusting Dani Alves after Danilo’s muscle injury, he trusted the Real Madrid player, and gave him his first minutes in the World Cup.
The truth is that the Real Madrid centre-back played more than just a game at right-back, making use of his physical qualities and was highly applied in both defensive and attacking tasks. With this improvisation with Tite’s happy ending, Carlo Ancelotti rubs his hands in front of what’s to come, and that means the Italian coach will finally have a trusty right-back after Carvajal. A good example of midfielders occupying the right-back position is in Barcelona, u200b\u200bwhere Ronald Araujo and Jules Conde occupied this position when Xavi requested it
The Real Madrid right-back has been one of the most prominent players in the Real Madrid squad in recent years, but in recent years his fitness has diminished due to the accumulation of matches under maximum demand. Now, at the age of 30, the Real Madrid player can make room for a younger generation of footballers, re-adapting some players to other positions if necessary, as in the case of Militao. What Ancelotti made clear is that he has neither Lucas Vazquez nor Alvaro Odriozola
It is true that Dani Carvajal, in modest matches, performs admirably, but if the opponent is stronger, his shortcomings stand out above the shortcomings of other Real Madrid players. This fact generates certain doubts in the coaching staff of the White Club, and the defense consisting of Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao will be ideal for facing big matches and will generate less doubts, as all players are in good shape
