The well-known journalist Edu Aguirre disclosed on the program “El Chiringuito” that Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, is contemplating not starting all of his attacking stars. Following a heavy 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, Ancelotti has expressed concerns about the balance between his attacking line and the team’s midfield and defense.
Aguirre explained that the inclusion of Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo Goes, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham has led to a lack of balance, with the team’s structure being compromised. Ancelotti is reportedly rethinking his tactical approach, possibly opting for a more balanced formation.
The journalist further revealed that Rodrygo may be dropped from the starting lineup to help restore the team’s equilibrium, with Federico Valverde returning to the right wing. Additionally, Ancelotti could shift to a 4-4-2 formation, with Bellingham moving to the left, which would require significant sacrifices from both players.
