In Madrid they live days of happiness. Ancelotti’s team has already won two titles this season, the Spanish Super Cup and the League, and on the horizon is the Champions League final at Wembley on June 1 against Dortmund. One of the reasons for this good season is the contribution of the theoretical substitutes. Joselu has contributed 16 goals to the team, many of them important, which have helped the team win these titles and reach the final.
In previous years, the role that Joselu is playing this season was played by Jovic and Mariano. On many occasions Ancelotti was accused of not giving them enough minutes to help the team and both had to leave Real Madrid in search of minutes. As the games and the season go by, the substitution of these two players in previous years prove Ancelotti right.
Mariano has now gone two years without seeing a goal. This season at Sevilla, after several injuries and his poor form, he has only played 11 games in which he has not scored a goal. Last season, in the same games with Madrid, but with 200 fewer minutes, he also failed to score. His last goal came against Cádiz on May 15, 2022. One goal in the last three seasons.
Jovic is having better numbers in Italy, but very far from Joselu’s in Madrid. The Serbian has 9 goals in 29 games, but his future at Milan is not at all clear. Throughout his time in the white team, the forward only managed to score on three occasions and never became important for Ancelotti or Zidane.
These numbers contrast with those of Joselu, who already has 16 goals. Ancelotti was right when he did not finish betting on these players, who, far from Real Madrid, are not showing that they have that scoring instinct that the white team does now have with Joselu on the bench, who hopes to continue extending his bond with Madrid next season. .
