Looking at Real Madrid's performance this season, it's really love-hate. In the summer, we spent a lot of money to bring in Bellingham, but other than that, the move in the transfer market is a bit stingy. Especially in the forward line, only veterans like Joselu have been brought in, and there is almost no movement in other positions. We needed reinforcements at centre-back but we didn't see any big moves all summer.
At the start of the season, injuries came one after the other, like uninvited guests. Injuries to key players such as Militão and Alaba have exposed a lot of problems at the back. The biggest headache is that there have been no reinforcements from the club in the winter window, despite the successive injuries to Nacho and Rudiger, and the centre-back position has almost become a no-man's land.
The club seemed to be pinning all their hopes on the summer transfer window, but the window in between was too fatal for us. Toni Rudiger was sidelined for at least two weeks with an injury, which had a direct impact on our performance in the league, especially after missing out on the crucial game against Girona. While there are versatile players like Camavinga and Tchouameni who can be replaced on a temporary basis, everyone knows in their hearts that this is not a long-term solution.
Real Madrid's backline problems, it's no secret. The rise of Girona, the knockout rounds of the Champions League are coming, and every game is crucial. Despite Ancelotti's ability, he didn't have the right person and struggled to make a difference. Seeing this situation, we as fans can't help but be a little anxious, after all, the team's results are directly related to everyone's mood.
The club is certainly aware of the problems at the back and will definitely make action at the end of the season. Nacho and Rudiger's age is also there, and it is still unknown how much they will be able to contribute once they recover. Now it seems that Real Madrid have set their sights on a young and promising centre-back like Antonio Silva, which is good news for us. I hope the club can act as soon as possible, after all, the hearts of the fans are about to cool.
It's not a good situation right now, but as fans, we still have to believe in the team. After all, football is not only about lineups and strategies, but also about the spirit of not giving up. Hopefully, Real Madrid can find a solution to the problem as soon as possible and let us see hope in the next games. After all, for us, Real Madrid is more than just a team, it carries our emotions and dreams.
