I think this is a big assumption to make about Militao based on just one 25 minute appearance in the Club World Cup. I hope he can do it, but we need more of a sample size after 2 ACL recoveries.
You don't know what this team can or can't do this season because it hasn't happened yet. Simple as that. What we all do know is that you're going to make this place insufferable moping every day about a 'Kroos replacement' that you aren't even consistent about. You just talked about Kante. At his absolute best, he was absolutely nothing like Kroos. What is it that you want? It's an imaginary midfielder that has characteristics that supposedly none of our midfielders possess. How about we play the games and see if our team under a new manager improves? Crazy thought
It's hilarious that you ignore the fact that Liverpool won the UCL with a midfield built around Fabinho, Henderson, and Wijnaldum. Also, Kanté was only one midfielder, and he didn't excel in controlling the ball, his main contribution was as a ball-winner: making interceptions, cutting passing lanes, and applying pressing bursts. Bro, as I said before, you really don't understand how football is played, and you're just posting delusional crap.
lets make a bet. if you will be right we will never doubt you again, if you are wrong you will leave this forum(RM, not big soccer) and will never comeback.

Nueva asistencia de Guler y esta vez marca Mbappé. El Madrid está mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. pic.twitter.com/5zXVRXZb71— Ramón Álvarez de Mon (@Ramon_AlvarezMM) August 12, 2025
Competition is low, but it takes about 5 minutes to see the difference between Carreras and Fran. no panic in the former, hasn't put a ball wrong and has shut down a couple potential counters with defensive actions. Optimistic his presence in the lineup is going to change a lot.
