Why cant we just play Fran at LB, Mendy at CB , double pivot of Cama and Fede, Jude ahead with Rodry , Vini and Mbooty upfront ?
4-2-3-1 is definitely worth trying ,provided Vini will track back. Mendy will be terrible CB, keep him on bench. Fran getting the spot despite being dead average talks all about the current state of LB.
When ZZ arrive in July 2001, I remember Del Bosque took time to find the appropriate line up with him. After 12 la liga games, we allready had 4 losses: 1st Fixture 1-0 to Valencia 3rd Fixture 3-1 to Betis 6th Fixture 4-2 to Las Palmas 12th Fixture 2-1 to Zaragoza In that season we eventually won the CL…
Mendy CB in a back 4 doesn't sound like a good idea at all. He doesn't have such good reading of the game, his aerial ability is questionable and I do not trust him to play the ball forward from there.

Militao's career at this level is over. Ramos in the winter. Laporte in the summer and see who you can develop from the academy or start to target for a future project.
Militao has a complete tear of the ACL, menisci affected (official) Lucas Vasquez out for at least 3 weeks (Arancha Rodrigues) Rodrygo out for 1 month (Arancha Rodrigues) Piss poor squad planning considering we had 3 ACLs in the first quarter of last season and the club has been aching for a deputy RB for +3 seasons. Carlo reportedly wanted defenders too. None of that was taken into account during the summer.
I don't know why Rodrygo was rushed back when we have Brahim and Arda who can play RW. It could have been worse.
Returned ahead of schedule, had to come on against Milan because we were losing. One thing I have heard ever since started watching football is to be cautious with hamstring injury because of higher relapse chance.
I have always preferred the 4-2-3-1 with Camavinga/Valverde double pivot. Bellingham can track back into the double pivot when one of them make a run. Its a more dynamic system for the three. But you are right, the wingers have to defend (specifically Vini), and Mbappe has put more pressure upfront on the defenders if he is more isolated at the top of attack.
Ancelotti: "The difference today? The players' attitude and behaviour were better, and also on the defensive level we were more organised." pic.twitter.com/MkdU5EbiYw— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) November 9, 2024 The problem was never tactical
The player eventually gives the ok himself. You can't project how a player tests. If the guy says he's good to go, you let him play.

Yup, a player will say nah I'm good on the bench, I'm still not 100%. The coach and medical staff make the assessment and have the final say. In RM and elsewhere. Carlo has been notorious for playing guys who are not 100% fit due to his limited squad options and distrust toward young players, he then casually uses it as an excuse in case of a loss
Militao is done ,Rodrigo aswell how many seasons we will have to say the next one will be his best.....finished
Even if Rodrygo doesn't play it's Brahim that's playing. Not sure Endrick did anything noteworthy when he came on other than be out paced by a CB with over 80 minutes of football in his legs. I'm not sure what Endrick provides currently that we so desperately need.
