Following an exceptionally impressive individual campaign with RCD Espanyol, Joselu talents caught the attention of Real Madrid. Thus, leading to his acquisition last summer through a loan arrangement that includes the option to secure his permanent transfer.
Joselu has not cemented his place as a regular starter in the first XI. However, his on-field displays have garnered acclaim from the fanbase. Hence, marking a promising beginning to his tenure in the Spanish capital. According to MARCA, coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his deep appreciation for Joselu’s strong start to the season, and he has also voiced approval for the 33-year-old target man.
As the eagerly anticipated Clasico approaches for Real Madrid, Ancelotti’s directive is evident. That is to extend the gap between his team and Barcelona in the league standings by securing all three available points and harnessing players who can potentially shape the outcome of the match, even if they begin as substitutes.
What does Ancelotti plan to do with Joselu and others?
Ancelotti intends to make the most of his robust bench depth, considering options like Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, and Joselu. It’s been reported that Joselu has managed to earn the coach’s complete approval through his unwavering dedication and commitment since joining the team. Thus, making it highly likely that he will see playing time against Barcelona.
Up to this point, the Spaniard has contributed a combined total of nine goals and assists during his tenure at Real Madrid. These numbers are particularly commendable. Considering he is still in the process of adapting to the team and has experienced limited playing time.
Joselu has gained recognition for his proficiency in seizing loose balls in the opponent’s final third and capitalizing on well-delivered crosses. Primarily due to his natural heading skills. When coming off the bench, he presents a wildcard factor with his knack for converting crosses. And also pouncing on opportunities in the attacking areas.
The prolific goal-scorer has a track record of finding the net against Barcelona. As demonstrated by a memorable goal against the Catalan giants while playing for Espanyol last season. This left the Camp Nou in hushed awe. Joselu will undoubtedly be striving to replicate such moments, especially with the unwavering support of his coach.
