Real Madrid have found Benzema’s replacement, it’s a fiasco
Published on August 5, 2023 at 8:00 p.m.
Real Madrid’s pre-season games have revealed some shortcomings. Especially in the position of number 9, where replacing Karim Benzema, who left for Al-Ittihad, is not an easy task. Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid is trying little by little to integrate Vinicius Junior in this task but for the moment, the Brazilian does not succeed.
Real Madrid start their season next weekend and so far the recruitment doesn’t seem to have filled all the gaps. AT The Angels, the people of Madrid have lost twice, against the FC Barcelona (0-3) and facing the Juventus Turin (1-3), and won two games, against l’AC Milan (3-2) et Manchester United (2-0). Benzema’s replacement is still waiting…
Ancelotti believes in Vinicius Junior
After the Clasico lost against the Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti mentioned the role of Vinicius, placed a little more in line than usual. The Italian seems to believe in the Brazilian’s ability to play as a centre-forward, in remarks reported by Marca: “I have to make an assessment of that and he too. The player likes to play a little more indoors. Outside he makes the difference, but inside he can score more goals. In these matches, Vini has played very well against Milan and Manchester United. It’s true that he could have had a bit more success against Barcelona, but he had a lot of chances. I don’t know if he had those chances to score while playing away, even though it’s pre-season and if we haven’t tested things now we won’t be able to do it later. »
Real Madrid without 9
But the post where vinicius excels is undoubtedly on the left side. In Spain, the daily Marca estimates that for the moment, the Real Madrid does not have a number 9 and that Joselu doesn’t have the talent to replace Karim Benzema. Vinicius Jr, meanwhile, is having some difficulty in this position at the moment. This vacant post, which the Real Madrid could well shake things up on the transfer window, and why not on Kylian Mbappe ?
