Camavinga came for this | Relief

When an unexpected blow occurs, the process is always the same. The shock of the experience, the realization of what happened, the need for time to digest it and gradually overcome the pain to look to the future.Toni Kroos (34 years old) announced that he will say goodbye to football at the end of this season And The news came as a shock to the dressing room and fans.. The German spoke with Real about extending his contract for another year, but changed his mind and made a purely sporting and family decision. The news came as a shock, although while it had not yet been digested, everyone was wondering whether the German’s defeat would disrupt the club’s plans for next season. Valdebebas’ decision is not in doubt: leaving does not change plans for 2024-2025.

At Real Madrid they work with bright moments. With the players’ contracts still months away and negotiations ongoing, the organization is preparing for this with foresight. Recent signings in midfield have been aimed at facilitating the transition to a zone in which At the beginning of this campaign, the possibility of Kroos or Modric (or even both) leaving the team in the summer was already considered. The Croatian future is on the right track today when the question of “So what now?”, everyone looks at the football player: Eduardo Camavinga. From the technical staff led by Ancelotti to the rest of the dressing room. Because The Frenchman, signed in 2021, came for this and now must take the final step.. This is exactly what they are talking about from the depths of the Bernabeu and this is exactly what they were counting on when they approached it from Rennes.

Little by little Carletto He increased his screen minutes as a preemptive decision of sorts, and it would make complete sense next season after the attack on Desimoquinta. Except, The club understands that there are enough personnel in the squad to fill Kroos’ vacancy without the need to recruit anyone at this time. This does not mean that Madrid does not see the market. Sports management, as always, will monitor the possibilities… But The position is now clear. Given the priority of the left-back (Alphonso Davies is present in every proposal), the relief of the defense after the departure of Nacho (Rafa Marin, Leni Yoro…), the arrival of Mbappe and the arrival of Endrick, they believe that there is room for a face with guarantees and without feeling a farewell strike, six competitions in which a team can play.

It is possible to change formation and have a lot of wardrobe.

As such, Camavinga will see his role become more relevant than before as he is already ingrained in the coach’s plans. At 21 years old and with a contract until 2029, the Frenchman has been an emergency solution in the side when called upon, a regular as an inside player and a substitute in a suitable prop. There, wearing number 5, he will play in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on the 1st.. Tchuameni’s confirmed absence due to a third metatarsal injury will see him in the eleven.

A status that, after saying goodbye to Kroos, will remain at Real Madrid, which is considering the possibility of changing the design. A 4-4-2 formation in which he will be a key player in midfield along with Tchouameni himself, Valverde and Bellingham, who will have to change his position and be more involved in the creation zones to leave Vinicius and Mbappe., with Rodrigo as a bullet in the chamber. Although Ancelotti often relies on three in the center to line up the stars in attack. Especially in Bernabeu or downhill games.

Anyway, Carletto It will be very diverse. Also in reserve, with Modric and Guler, as well as the promotion of some young players such as Mario Martin (if he doesn’t leave) and Ceballos (if he stays). The case of Utrerano is unique. He extended his contract last year when he was free and the opportunities offered by Ancelotti never materialized. He also did not take them convincingly. Now, with a sense of disappointment, he looks at his future options. In Madrid he is not worried about the matter. If he decides to stay, the manager will be happy to keep a player he values; If he decides to leave, that won’t be a problem either. On the one hand, Modric’s continuity provides talent in the creation zone. On the other hand, with the money received, the sports management could take a closer look at the market in case a good option appears. Without any urgency or drama.

For now, Madrid doesn’t waste a minute talking about the future or unraveling problems that haven’t yet arisen. The focus is only on the Champions League final on June 1st. Victory over Dortmund would give the club their fifteenth European Cup and pay tribute to Kroos, who would retire with six Champions League titles.
