It’s a new defeat that will leave its mark on Madrid. After the heavy Catalan victory in the first La Liga shock, Hansi Flick’s men did it again by beating the Merengues with a score of 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday evening. A defeat which logically goes very badly in Madrid, where everyone takes it for granted, with the exception of Kylian Mbappé. Supporters and the media are demanding, once again and as is often the case after this type of defeat, drastic measures and decisions for the coming days…
But as indicated MarcaFlorentino Pérez is not going to panic. He made three decisions, starting with Carlo Ancelotti, with whom he will meet in the coming days. But the Italian’s future is not in danger. It is therefore a strong first choice, while on social networks, many fans were calling for the head of the transalpine coach. His future will be decided at the end of the season, and there will therefore be no possible departure, wanted or forced, of the former PSG coach in the weeks and months to come.
A recruit expected this winter
Second decision, which also risks making people cringe a little: there will be no arrival at the central defender position this winter. Madrid decision-makers do not intend to strengthen the axis of defense despite obvious problems and injuries in this position, and they are counting on the players present in the squad and on the young people to ensure until this summer.
Finally, third and final decision of the Merengues: the arrival of a right back is relaunched for this winter. The Madrilenians should therefore still try for Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool full-back, at the end of his contract in June. The club from the Spanish capital is ready to make an investment now, even if the player will be free next summer. A proposal had already been refused by the Reds, and everything indicates that Real Madrid will return to the charge in the coming days. To be continued…
