In the 20th round of La Liga on January 19, Real Madrid defeated Las Palmas 4-1. However, the significance of this match goes beyond goals and VAR controversy. It marks the strong return of Dani Ceballos - a once forgotten talent who is gradually proving himself an indispensable member of Real Madrid's midfield. Ceballos' Brave Performance Just 27 seconds into the game, Fabio Silva scored a lightning goal for the visiting team, catching the entire Bernabeu off guard. But Ceballos quickly adjusted his state and ended the match with an outstanding performance. He created three key chances and completed 73 accurate passes out of 79 touches. In addition, he participated in 101 ball controls, second only to Bellingham (80 times), and was the player who won back possession most on the field (10 times). Ceballos successfully tackled 7 out of 5 times and forced the opponent to foul 3 times, demonstrating his importance as a tactical core of the team. When the game reached the 83rd minute, Ceballos was substituted, and the Bernabeu stands erupted in applause. "I am very grateful to the fans for recognizing my efforts," Ceballos said excitedly after the game, "This is the moment I have been most confident since joining. I will continue to work hard and strive to make the coach consider me more." Ceballos' career has not been smooth sailing. In the summer of 2017, he transferred from Betis to Real Madrid for 16.5 million euros, then seen as the successor to Luka Modric or Toni Kroos. However, under Zidane's coaching, Ceballos had…

According to exclusive information from Defensa Central, Real Madrid is actively preparing for next summer's transfer market, aiming to strengthen its midfield in order to fill the huge void left by the departure of Toni Kroos. The Spanish giants have set their sights on two rising stars, Martin Zubimendi and Florian Wirtz, as key targets for recruitment. The departure of Kroos has undoubtedly left a significant gap in Real Madrid's midfield, losing a masterful playmaker. To compensate for this loss, the club is actively seeking a replacement with a similar style, preferring creative midfielders over simply physically strong players. In the pursuit of new signings, Zubimendi stands out as the primary target due to his affordable price and solid performances. Meanwhile, despite a potential valuation exceeding 100 million euros, Wirtz has not been ruled out due to his exceptional talent and potential. Real Madrid is seriously considering reaching a potential agreement with the young prodigy next summer. Over the coming months, Real Madrid will continue to search for suitable candidates to fill the void left by Kroos' departure. While Zubimendi and Wirtz are leading contenders, the club is also exploring other options to achieve the perfect reinforcement in midfield. With transfer rumors surrounding players like Arnold and Davies surfacing, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has shifted the focus of recruitment to the midfield. This move is seen as a crucial step towards strengthening the team's lineup for the next season. This summer's transfer market is expected to be particularly busy for Real Madrid. They need to fill gaps left by…

For Real Madrid, as the season progresses into its middle stages, the team's competitive form has gradually reached its peak. In the eyes of outsiders, Ancelotti's team is still one of the strongest contenders for the championship in various events this season. However, objectively speaking, the "trump card" that Real Madrid relies on most to win the championship at present is the championship experience of these players and Ancelotti's tactical level. If we simply look at the depth of the lineup, they do not have a significant advantage compared to their competitors, and even in some positions, Real Madrid's player reserves are very thin. Therefore, in this winter transfer window, Real Madrid is expected to welcome several important signings in a row. In the defensive line, Militao's injury undoubtedly had a significant impact on the team, directly leaving only one reliable central defender, Rudiger. In the first half of the season, this German international was the backbone of the defense, performing at a very high level whether paired with Joaquin or young Raul Asensio. However, considering that he is already 31 years old, if he cannot play due to injuries or other factors, Real Madrid's defensive efficiency may suffer a cliff-like decline. In addition, although Alaba has just recovered from a long-term injury, it is still unknown how much his competitive state can recover. This makes Real Madrid's recruitment of central defenders imminent. Originally, Real Madrid hoped to sign a top-level player with outstanding abilities in the winter window, including Bastoni, Lukeba and other players who once appeared on the…

Recently, according to the latest report from Defensacentral.com, a specialized website that tracks Real Madrid news, Real Madrid is currently brewing a major transfer deal, targeting young midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who is currently playing for Real Sociedad. This news quickly attracted attention in the European football world, with fans and media discussing it extensively. Zubimendi, 25 years old and a Spanish international star, has gradually become a hot commodity in the European transfer market as he has been performing better and better in recent seasons with Real Sociedad. It is reported that in addition to Real Madrid, there are also Premier League giants such as Manchester City and Liverpool interested in Zubimendi. The media further pointed out that the reason why Zubimendi has become a hot target for Real Madrid is not only because his performance on the field bears a striking resemblance to that of Real Madrid's legendary midfielder Toni Kroos. Both are adept at controlling the tempo, making precise passes, and possess excellent vision and a sense of the big picture. More importantly, as a Spanish native, Zubimendi naturally brings a sense of belonging, which is particularly important in traditional powerhouses like Real Madrid. The preference of Real Madrid's management for introducing outstanding local talent is no longer a secret. The addition of Zubimendi will undoubtedly further enhance the team's localization and cohesion. In the transfer market, a player's valuation is often a direct reflection of their value. Currently, Zubimendi is valued at 60 million euros on the German transfer market website, a figure that not only reflects…
