Carlo Ancelotti confirms change in tactics for 2023–24 season

Real Madrid, often kwn as Los Blancos, have historically used a 4-3-3 setup under ir highly regarded Italian coach, according to Relevo. However, subsequent events have resulted in a tactical change. An inflow of midfielders, along with Karim Benzema's move to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Pro League, has caused manr Ancelotti to advise club president Florenti Perez of his determination to ditch tried-and-tested design.

Real Madrid presently has a plethora of midfielders of quality. summer signings of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund for £88.5 million and Arda Guler from Fenerbahce for £17.1 million have increased debate for a spot in Real's midfield.

Bellingham, Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz, and Dani Ceballos are all battling for playing time in central midfield position for first team.

Given team's highly filled midfield squad and few attacking options available for final third of field (Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and new addition Joselu), a shift in tactics becomes increasingly obvious.

What could be Real Madrid's new tactics?

According to various reports, Spanish giants will w prefer to back youth of teams and will be eyeing Camavinga and Tchouameni instead of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos as w coach will be reducing time for veterans in team. legends have served club for several years w and will be helping upcoming talents of game settle into midfield of club while also sharing ir experience. club's preferred tactics are reported to be 4-3-1-2.

In front of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid defence comprises recognisable players such as Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, and David Alaba. only new addition to back four is left-back Fran Garcia, who was recently signed from Rayo Valleca.

midfield has changed, with an emphasis on toughness. Aurelien Tchouameni anchors a diamond midfield formation, while Arda Guler shines on right flank, a position he thrived in for Fenerbahce last season. Fede Valverde is a formidable opponent unless 18-year-old relaxes fast. Camavinga, who has previously shown his ability on wings under Ancelotti, has potential to prosper on left side of pitch in this new system.

Ancelotti may take comfort in having rotating alternatives like Kroos, Modric, and Diaz. He is said to have guaranteed Ceballos his chance to compete for a spot on team.
