Marca: Wyson and Joan Armeni have a solid position, Asensio and Rudiger will compete for the main position

June 30 According to the Spanish media "Marca", Wyson and Joan Améni have a stable position, and Raul Asensio and Rudiger will compete for a main position.

Three Club World Cup matches are enough to allow Xavi Alonso to show the skeleton of his tactical philosophy. High-level oppression, role swaps and three-center-back defensive system. This formation was confirmed against Red Bull Salzburg, and with it, it was one of the first problems he faced as Real Madrid coach: who will complete this defense line. It was a small worry, with Wyson and Joan Améney being two indispensable players. So there is only one position and two players left: Raul Asensio or Rudiger.

Rauer Asensio returns after being sent off against Pachuca. His Club World Cup started poorly: a penalty kick was given in the first game, and the second round was just 7 minutes into the game. On the other hand, Rudiger has returned to form and can play for the team. He was the starter in Alonso's last game against Salzburg. Rudiger doesn't need much to establish himself.

Rauer Asensio played 47 games last season and started in 34 of them. Almost as long as he is healthy, he can play. Raul Asensio was initially an emergency candidate in the absence of Militon and Alaba, but eventually became a fixed member of Real Madrid's defense under Ancelotti. He has gone through various tests and has made a good impression in most cases. Raul Asensio still has potential to tap, and he has grown through persistence, dedication and hard work.

But Rudiger has a trait that cannot be trained: leadership temperament. Rudiger has been accompanied by an unbearable knee injury, and he tries his best to overcome the injury to be able to play. He underwent meniscus surgery, shortened his recovery time and returned in the second round of the Club World Cup. Alonso's philosophy requires the central defender to be able to chase back, defend in open areas and dare to take risks. Thanks to his experience in the highest requirements of the Premier League, Rudiger was able to adapt naturally.

Meanwhile, Militon has participated in group confrontation training and he is close to returning. If the knockout match against Juventus allows, he may return in 234 days.
