The unavailability of Jude Bellingham for a month would push the Real Madrid staff to use another tactical scheme to associate Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius and Rodrygo.
This is the second major blow suffered by Real Madrid this season. After Eduardo Camavinga’s sprained left knee on the eve of the European Super Cup (won against Atalanta in Warsaw), it is Jude Bellingham’s turn to head to the infirmary. The English midfielder has a small muscle behind his knee and will miss several weeks of competition, or even a whole month. An absence that has somewhat impacted the start of the season for Kylian Mbappé, who scored against the Bergamo team before disappointing last Sunday in the draw in Mallorca (1-1).
According to some Branda few hours after Bellingham’s injury, Carlo Ancelotti would have decided to switch to a 4-4-2 diamond, his system from last season which allowed the English star to pile up the goals (especially during the first part of the season). This time, it is Rodrygo who will play as number 10 in the tactical system, behind two free attackers who will obviously be Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius. Answer from Sunday 5pm with the first match of the season of the Spanish and European champions at the Bernabéu against Valladolid.
Mbappé better surrounded?
For the past two weeks and the return of the Merengues from their tour in the United States, a rather classic 4-3-3 has been put in place by the Italian staff, with Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham as relays, Rodrygo and Vinicius on the wings and Mbappé alone up front. The 4-4-2 diamond (or 4-3-1-2) is a little different but will above all allow the captain of the French team to be supported as closely as possible by the two Brazilians, who are two ball-kicking stars. Luka Modric should strengthen the midfield, while Federico Valverde could perhaps rush in on the right wing in a set attack.
In any case, Rodrygo is considered an essential element by Carlo Ancelotti and his assistants. The 23-year-old Brazilian international was clearly announced as a striker by
Brandwith Mbappé as a right winger, on the morning of the UEFA Super Cup. An error on the part of the sports daily, which also presented Real in a 4-2-3-1 with Bellingham as number 10, while it was indeed a 4-3-3 that was put in place against the Dea. We can’t trust Brand and it is precisely this media which announces the replacement of Rodrygo in 10…
