Real Madrid is gearing up to face Valladolid on Saturday in the Spanish League, following their recent victory over Salzburg. This match is crucial for the team to maintain their league lead, especially as they take on an opponent struggling to stay in the competition. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is preparing the best possible lineup for the challenge.
Vinicius Junior will miss the match due to a suspension, serving the second game of his three-match ban. In his absence, Ancelotti has decided that Brahim Diaz will step in to replace him. According to Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Ancelotti informed Brahim of the plan to play on the right and move Rodrigo to the left.
Brahim Diaz, who has been a key player for Ancelotti this season, is seen as an important attacking option. The Moroccan forward has scored three goals and provided five assists so far, showcasing his excellent form and impact on the team. Brahim is happy with his role at Real Madrid and has earned the trust of the coach, who views him as a special talent.
His strong connection with Kylian Mbappé adds further value to the team’s attacking capabilities, and with Vinicius absent, Brahim is expected to return to the starting lineup for the Valladolid match.
