The preseason experiments Carlo Ancelotti conducted with Real Madrid were successful on some occasions but disastrous on others. It is obvious that the management is still looking for the ideal combination of players and personalities to improve the synergy on the field.

The switch to a 4-4-2 diamond setup, though, seems to be rather obvious. Ancelotti chose the same setup against Juventus Friday night as he did in the Clasico last week, albeit once more in a losing effort.

The Italian tactician’s choice to stick with the formation indicates that he believes it is the best fit for the players at his disposal. He obviously has a few favorite candidates who he wants to center his campaign around.

Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga are two such starlets who will be indispensable for the manager’s starting lineup in the upcoming season, claims journalist Rodra. They will serve as the team’s foundation.

It is evident that Los Blancos have a plethora of assets in the final third but a fairly depleted assault as a result of their transfer activity this summer.

Additionally, Bellingham and Camavinga are poised to be the team’s backbone due to their talent, versatility, and attitude, in addition to their quality.

Bellingham, a recent acquisition, is excellent in Ancelotti’s eyes to start behind the two forwards on a regular basis. His job as an attacking midfielder is to direct play in the opponent’s box while also trying to score goals.

Camavinga, a midfielder who plays inside, will play further back. Federico Valverde or Luka Modric is likely to join him. Both Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos will fight for the pivot role.

The four midfielders that make up the 4-4-2 system’s core will be heavily relied upon in both the attack and defense, as the formation demands.Naturally, a lot will depend on the combinations Ancelotti makes from the wealth of quality he has at his disposal in the park’s center.
