Carlo Ancelotti had to face the facts: Real Madrid should not register any reinforcements during the winter transfer window, despite a cascade of injuries, particularly in defense with the prolonged absences of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militão.
According to information from Relevo And PuntoFlorentino Pérez remains faithful to the club’s policy, favoring stability and summer planning. Although Ancelotti wanted reinforcements, he resigned himself to making do with the means at hand for the rest of the season.
Tchouaméni repositioned in central defense
Ancelotti’s solution now relies on a tactical rearrangement. Aurélien Tchouaméni, currently in the recovery phase, will be repositioned as central defender upon his return, replacing the young Asencio in this key function. This strategic choice should also free up Eduardo Camavinga, who will find a more natural position in midfield, supporting Valverde and Bellingham.
Ancelotti, who has already proven his ability to adapt to circumstances, remains confident despite these challenges. The results of the coming weeks, particularly against opponents like Liverpool in the Champions League, will be crucial to measure the effectiveness of this reorganization.
