Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly planning a change in formation after the team’s less-than-ideal start to the new LaLiga season. Falling behind their fierce rivals Barcelona, Ancelotti is considering a shift in tactics to improve the team’s performance.
Real Madrid’s Struggles and Ancelotti’s Formation Change
Real Madrid has not started the LaLiga season as expected. Currently sitting third in the standings with 11 points from 5 games, they trail league leaders Barcelona by 4 points. With 3 wins and 2 draws so far, Ancelotti is looking to shake things up by altering the team’s formation.
According to a report by NTVSpor, based on sources from the Spanish media, Carlo Ancelotti is considering switching from his usual 4-3-3 setup to a 4-4-2 formation. This change could see forward Rodrygo dropped to the bench as part of the new tactical approach.
The Bigger Picture
With Barcelona in top form, having secured 15 points from 5 matches, Real Madrid faces a tough challenge to close the gap. This potential formation change could be a pivotal decision for Ancelotti as he seeks to rejuvenate the team’s performance in LaLiga.
Meanwhile, young talent Arda Güler has featured in 6 matches this season, but is yet to score or provide an assist. However, he did celebrate success with Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup earlier this season.
Conclusion
As Real Madrid navigates a challenging start to the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to potentially change the formation could be key in their push to catch up with Barcelona.
