New Real Madrid players responded in this manner when they faced Milan in their Merengue debuts.
It served as the first opportunity for the new Real Madrid
players to be seen. Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior helped the team
recover after adversity, but two other players also made an impact and stood
out from the crowd.
Jude Bellingham was first. The Englishman, who had a bandage
on his knee, was midfield's guiding light. He left significant traces of a
player who will undoubtedly spend many years as a tremendous world-class
talent.
He paused long enough to convince Real Madrid that the first
section wasn't too bad. He does a lot with little, and even more with a lot. He
is Real Madrid's finest acquisition in recent memory.
Brahim was the other player that stood out from the crowd.
The player was crucial between the lines, and his confidence demonstrated the
talent's growth after a successful two-year loan at Milan. He made excellent
ball-handling and non-ball-handling moves while perfectly assisting his
teammates.
Joselu was the 4-4-2's starting
striker from the beginning, and he did not disappoint, despite being clearly
underutilized. He undoubtedly fell victim to the new system. He found the
collective's air conditioning to be ineffective, and he and the rest of his
colleagues must quickly adjust to the new formation.
Joselu is an improvement over
Carlo Ancelotti's team from the previous season, but he is not the type of
striker who must be held to a 40-goal-per-year standard. That will be expected
of other people, or specifically of someone whose name cannot be revealed.
When Fran Garcia entered the
game in the second half, an initially hazy Ferland Mendy significantly
improved. The Frenchman stumbled once more, but the young player in the second
half resolved the left side issue. We'll watch to see whether he replaces Mendy
during the season because the argument is valid given what was repeated that
evening in Pasadena.
Nico Paz's debut was finally
observed at the Rose Bowl. If Real Madrid provides their midfielder the space
and time, he needs to painstakingly hone all of his skills, it will be possible
to detect the signs of a very serious player that the Argentine left behind. He
will be a player to consider throughout the season since Ancelotti will employ
him again.
In general, Real Madrid's
"newcomers" weren't playing poorly, but the team's improvement became
clear in the second half with the addition of Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Luka
Modric.
Ancelotti will gradually
encourage the new recruits to expand and make space for everyone so that the
team can keep expanding.
