The Real Madrid from Ancelotti He has started this season on the right foot and this has been helped by the fact that he is clearing up some of the doubts that remained to be resolved. One of them was paper by Alaba, a footballer who has never liked being pigeonholed in a certain position and to whom the Italian coach has given a star role in the eleven. The fact in addition to having played with A

at
Bayern
of left back (although he already put him as center back in his last games), to establish himself in that position with
Guardiola
or play with their national team in midfield (midfield or indoor), they fed
doubts about his position in Madrid
. But after his
debut as a madridista in the Champions League
the doubt has been cleared. The technician himself confirmed it: the Austrian will be central. The outputs of
Ramos and Varane
have left that area more unprotected and
Ancelotti wants to have his experience
of this footballer for
such a crucial area of the field
.
Alaba
played his first two games with Madrid as a winger (
Alavs and Levante
), but the last two have already done it as central (
Betis and Inter
) and there it will stay except for an emergency. In both cases
with Militao as a partner
in the center of the rear.
Nacho and Vallejo
are the other players for that position, although the youth squad was the one who occupied the left side due to the casualties of
Mendy and Marcelo
, while
Miguel Gutirrez
, starter against Celta, this time he stayed on the bench.

The gesture of Real Madrid to give the 4 to Alaba
He was already saying a lot about the club’s intentions with the former Bayern player, who came with the freedom letter and with the firm decision to wear white.
It was the number of a central and nothing less than that of Ramos
. The player accepted the proposal although he does not want comparisons. In any case, it would not be surprising if Alaba played a game elsewhere given his ease of adaptation. In midfield there are now more alternatives in case you are not
housemiro
. With the arrival of
camavinga
and the option of the youth squad
Antonio Blanco
, Ancelotti has options not to have to move the Austrian. And on the left side there are also more than enough resources, in quantity and quality. They are
Mendy, Marcelo, Miguel Gutirrez and Nacho
, the latter as could be seen in Milan.
At the disposal of the technician
Alaba’s versatility gives Ancelotti many alternatives and the player simply makes himself available to the technician where he needs it. “Best of central?
I just adapt to the position on the field and try to help the team in whatever way I can.
I will have to play at another time elsewhere, “he said after the Champions League match in Milan. However,
Carletto’s last move against Inter
seems to make clear the change of plans and his wish that
the white ‘4’ is the head of the defense from the center of the rear
