Brahim and Joselu will have to take a step forward to be able to alleviate Vinicius’ loss of more than a month
The midfielder is hardly counting for Ancelotti so far and has only played a minute against Almería
The loss of Vinicius, who will be out for a month and a half due to a small fibrillar tear, forces Ancelotti to have to rethink the team’s attack against Getafe. The coach does not have many alternatives in a squad that is short of troops in attack. One of those who can benefit the most is Brahimwhich until now has been almost unprecedented (he has played only one minute against Almería).
Madrid exercised the repurchase option for the playmaker after becoming one of Milan’s stars. An explosion that was expected to earn him an important place in Madrid’s rotation. The change in Ancelotti’s system, who no longer plays with clear wingers, as well as the arrival of Bellingham, who plays as a midfielder, Brahim’s favorite position, have played against him.
The Englishman has entered the white team like a tsunami, becoming the star of the team in record time. Brahim, on the other hand, has not been able to demonstrate his talent in the absence of minutes. With Vinicius’ injury, a new scenario opens because Ancelotti only has the options of Brahim or Joselu to accompany Rodrygo.
Joselu has played 91 minutes in LaLiga so far (10′ against Athletic, 9′ against Almería and 72′ against Celta) And it will be necessary to see if he is the one chosen to accompany Rodrygo in Madrid’s attack against Getafe. The whites will play their first game at the Bernabéu after playing the first three games away from home. Madrid so far has solved the three visits as a visitor with three wins.
