In recent weeks, Real Madrid have continued to rack up victories despite the absence of their captain and top scorer, Karim Benzema.
Victim of a muscle injury and forfeited for the Nations League with the French team in September, Karim Benzema just missed three games with Real Madrid. Forfeited for Merengue’s meetings once morest Mallorca, Leipzig and Atlético de Madrid, the tricolor international was not missed that much by Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who scored at least two goals in each match. and who continued his flawless win every time. It must be said that the Italian coach of Real Madrid has found the winning formula in the absence of Karim Benzema with Vinicius on the left, Valverde on the right and the surprising Rodrygo at the forefront. The Brazilian, scorer once morest Atlético this Sunday evening, achieves a super interim in the axis of the attack in the absence of Karim Benzema to such an extent that according to the Defensa Central site, the return from injury of the captain of Real Madrid going to give Carlo Ancelotti a big headache.
Carlo Ancelotti must manage the return of Benzema
Make no mistake, the return of Karim Benzema is welcomed with joy and relief in Madrid, where we know that the French striker is essential to Merengue. But for Carlo Ancelotti, a real headache in the management and in the distribution of playing time will arise. And for good reason, the former Chelsea coach will be forced to sacrifice Valverde or Rodrygo in order to make room for Karim Benzema, which is not easy given the exceptional performance of the two players for three games. To date, Carlo Ancelotti has not yet decided regarding his standard team and does not know who he will have to sacrifice. In addition, Karim Benzema’s injury allowed Carlo Ancelotti to play Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio more, without making them starters. With the return of Benzema, one of the two will once more see his playing time collapse. Suffice to say that the important return of the French striker will cause a lot of headaches for the staff of Real Madrid in the coming weeks although on the side of Santiago Bernabeu, we are delighted with the comeback of the probable future Ballon d’Or.
