Well, Club Football is about to start and it is very certain that Los Blancos will miss their three important midfielders on a trip to Jose Zorrilla. These players have just completed their World Cup campaign and getting the rest of 9 days.
However, Luka Modric wants to play against Valladolid. Despite Croatian’s desire, it’s very unlikely he will play against Valladolid because the club has given him days off until December 28.
Los Blancos need a positive start in the second phase of the season
The Merengues started the first phase of the season very well. This season they had one of the longest unbeaten streaks in the history of the club. But in November, they lost three points against Rayo Vallecano. And now they are two points behind the Catalan club in the La Liga table. Therefore, they definitely need a positive start in the second part of the season. They need 3 points against Valladolid but their two important part of the midfield will be missing.
Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti must make some serious adjustments in the squad, especially in the midfield. There is a chance that he might call Real Madrid Castilla midfielders.
In this situation, Ancelotti might use a 4-3-3 formation with Fede Valverde as the right midfielder, Toni Kroos in a single pivot role, and Dani Ceballos as a left midfielder, or else he can use a 4-2-3-1 with Valverde and Kroos in a double pivot role.
