The blow on the table with the Kylian Mbappé’s next departure of PSG with more than a possible destination to Real Madrid, only comes to confirm that the white club follows a line marked from the white noble zone, without anything or anyone making them change. Everything obeys something and chen now the external debate is to know who is leftthose in charge and the technicians think about the impact of the arrival of the Frenchman and the value that the team and the club will acquire.
While thinking about the future, do not neglect the present. Real Madrid continues to grow in adversity. The games are passing. 29 victories in 35 official matches, with only two defeats So far this season, they go a long way. According to what they say from Valdebebas, it is the triumph of a model, of a strategy that has been on the table for a long time and that nothing and no one makes it change. For now, has won the Super Cup, Real Madrid is the leader in LaLiga and has won the first leg of the Champions League round of 16but the truth is that part of the road has already been traveled.
What is happening during this season is an exercise in survival, but above all in belief in what is done, regardless of what is said outside the clubfrom what the press says or what the fan believes the team needs.
The final test, as always happens in football, will come at the end of the season, but the apocalypse that seemed like it was going to destroy the white team, has been stopped from within, with the resources created around a squad free of uncomfortable traveling companions, which limited the team’s response to the maximum. Hazard, Bale and Mariano are history. Without them, there are no bad faces. Ancelotti fought to recover the best Isco, but it was not to be.
What those in charge of the Madrid entity are clear about is that this situation will not be repeated with decisions that, after a few months, end up weighing down the group, the club’s economy and the ability to safely undertake the objectives set within. of the sports-economic strategy. Ancelotti shares this and that is why he stretches his squad’s resources to the maximum. He trusts her.
Although the story goes back years, in the summer of 2023 two operations were requested as essential that the club did not carry out. First was that of sign a guarantee or top-level center forward after Benzema’s flight to Saudi Arabia. Joselu had arrived to take Mariano’s place, one of those players who, far from contributing, prevented the presence of others.
The emergencies are marked in Valdebebas, not the press
Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s desire to sign Harry Kane, the leaders decided that he could mortgage the future and the possible arrival of one of the two desired stars, that is, Mbappé or Erling Haaland. The solution was in the Valdebebas locker room. There was no other. From past experiences, they knew that incorporations that do not appear in the roadmap end up being uncomfortable to move forward with the idea they have.
The second episode had its replica in winter. It came first with Militao’s injury and four months later with Alaba’s. The final 15 days of the summer market were complicated due to the multitude of offers. Even someone closely related to Real Madrid was waiting for a call that never came. We talk about Sergio Ramos and many others. Critics and fans expected something, but the message transmitted from Valdebebas was unequivocal regarding the arrival of a signing and the confidence shown in the group.
In January everything was repeated, but the club even settled it before. He did not give the option to debate: “there will be no signings in the winter market”, They proclaimed from Valdebebas and this was confirmed by Ancelotti himself. Immediately afterward came more injuries, of lesser significance, and the white team has faced important games with one or no center back available.
Four renewals to decide
March is approaching and it will be time to start making decisions for the future, starting with the four pending renovations such as those of Nacho, Lucas Vázquez, Kroos and Modric, plus Lunin’s that finishes in 25th with the possible return of some of those who make merit in other teams as has happened with Fran García or Brahim and for the signings, especially the one above, the star signing, but always thinking about the future, what is coming and the impact on the current group, that is, Kylian Mbappé.
The strategy works, with a base of young and versatile players (If Mbappé signs, when he is 30 years old, Endrick will be 30) as they are demonstrating Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde… The numbers say it all, only two defeats so far this season.
