From the performance so far this season, Real Madrid has basically met expectations. Especially considering the arrival of Mbappe, Ancelotti faced the "century problem" of redesigning the attacking system, so it is commendable that the team has gradually returned to the right track in the past period and put up a good performance. At present, the White Army has once again become one of the strongest contenders for the championship trophy in various competitions. In addition, the adjustments made by the head of the family, Florentino, to the shortcomings in the lineup have also officially begun.
In the attack, Ancelotti successfully found a way to coexist with Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo. Considering that the three top stars are most comfortable at the left flank, in other words, they are all "left wingers," Ancelotti was able to organically integrate them into his tactical system, which indeed demonstrated the outstanding coaching skills of this Italian veteran. At the same time, Ancelotti also reactivated Bellingham, helping the English international regain his peak form from last season. In addition, Diaz also played a good role this season, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists in 604 minutes of league play.
It can be said that the above players make up the main attacking structure of Real Madrid this season. However, this also brings new problems, namely the lack of time for two "superstars." First is Guler. Last season, due to injury reasons, Guler did not get much playing time, but he showed excellent efficiency, especially in finishing ability, he was known as the "efficiency king" within Real Madrid. This season, Guler's situation took a turn for the worse, and it was difficult to find playing opportunities for a long time. However, in the past period, Guler's playing time has increased, and his performance has been commendable, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists in the last 3 games. External analysis suggests that although Real Madrid has received offers to rent Guler, it is basically determined that they will keep him in the team.
Compared with Guler, who is likely to stay, Endrick seems to be very close to temporarily saying goodbye to Real Madrid. Besides some eye-catching performances at the beginning of the season, most of the time, the Brazilian youngster's performance was mediocre, appearing not to adapt to European leagues, at least not ready to play for a top club like Real Madrid. So far this season, he has only had 79 minutes of playing time in the league, making him an undisputed fringe player. According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid is actively looking for a new home for Endrick, hoping to let him leave on loan and help him realize his potential through more playing time.
In the midfield position, as the only genuine defensive midfielder in the team, Camavinga's performance this season has greatly disappointed the team. Defensively, Camavinga appears too lazy, lacking in running initiative, insufficient defensive coverage area, and unsatisfactory efficiency in tackles and interceptions. With poor midfield interception, the backline has suffered greater pressure. Offensively, Camavinga seems to always want to perform, but limited by natural shortcomings such as footwork and offensive awareness, he has no obvious presence. Under continuous poor performance, Camavinga has also dropped out of the ranks of the hundred-million-euro players, with his Transfermarkt value dropping to 80 million euros.
According to The Athletic (TA), Real Madrid is very disappointed with Camavinga's performance. The technical team's technical analysis report on Camavinga also confirms that this French international may have reached his ceiling. In this case, the Real Madrid management hopes to take advantage of his still high value to "put on the market" this 80 million mainstay.
While trying to sell Camavinga, Real Madrid has also started to introduce a new midfielder. The team's most desirable target before was Zubimendi, but the latter's willingness to transfer is not strong, and the signing difficulty is great. According to AS, Real Madrid has started to operate the transfer of Atalanta midfielder Edson. "El Presidente" personally endorsed this Brazilian international with outstanding defensive abilities. It is reported that Atalanta is open to letting Edson leave during the winter window, and their asking price is about 60 million euros.
