The positive vibes generated by Xabi Alonso‘s new system, especially in midfield, are overshadowing the problems Real Madrid has had for much of the season. The White House seems to have put the brakes on signing a midfielder, but given the precedents, Florentino Pérez and the board should not make the same mistake if they do not want to relive ghosts of the past, such as not investing in center backs when it was clear that any problems could leave the squad weakened.

Güler slows down the rush

Arda Güler seems to have found his place at Real Madrid, and not where it was expected. Every day in the role of playmaker is a step forward, every day he is better, every day he understands the position more and is absorbing all the information he should be getting from his coach, one of the best players in this position in the history of soccer.

What started out as a stopgap measure seems to be taking hold, and what was an emergency has become a discovery. The Turkish player is gaining ground and it seems that Real Madrid’s board is not willing to sign anyone to strengthen this position, which could be a big mistake.

Heads or tails in midfield

Not signing a player in midfield could be like tossing a coin. In recent seasons, they have come up tails with their defense. In 2023-24, no signings were made in defense, despite injuries to Alaba and Militao. It is true that these were injuries that occurred once the season had started, but Florentino did not want to look at the market. Things did not end badly, despite Nacho not performing at his best and Tchouaméni being out of position, but the team was compact with Carvajal and Mendy at full strength and the titles blinded the board. In this 2024-25 season, Nacho left, Militao was injured again, and Alaba has not yet returned. The emergence of Asencio has not been enough to save the day, and Carvajal’s serious injury and Mendy’s continuous relapses have left the team exposed.

Something similar could happen in midfield now: with the departure of Modric and Bellingham’s operation after the Club World Cup, Real Madrid is gambling that there will be no more casualties. At the moment, only Ceballos remains as a specialist, waiting for the return of Camavinga, who is unknown quantity in terms of how he will return and what level he will show. Brahim could help, but he would be out of place.

The club’s board should bear in mind the problems that led to a terrible year and should be able to correct them. They have already been criticized for poor management, and doing nothing in the remainder of the summer could spell serious trouble for the team throughout the season.

Fran García and the left back

The truth is that Fran García has created another dilemma for Real Madrid. The full-back was out of the picture, but he is playing like never before under Xabi Alonso. Against Dortmund, he was the best player on the team, scored a goal, and took home the MVP trophy. He is having an excellent World Cup, and the signing of Carreras may not happen. However, Mendy’s ongoing injuries and the lack of players who can cover this position should be reason enough not to lose perspective. With such long seasons, it is important that squads are not left short. Many games, few breaks.
