How will Real Madrid line up with Rudiger?
With Rudiger’s ability, he will seamlessly interface with Real Madrid’s defense and play as a left-back in Ancelotti’s back four.
Who will partner with Rudiger will largely depend on the characteristics of Real Madrid’s opponents. In addition, Alaba will switch to playing left-back when necessary, launching a more intense attack.
GOAL
This means that Rudiger will be paired with Milito in the face of opponents who are mainly on the defensive counterattack. At other times, Rudiger’s partner will be Alaba.
