Real Madrid are still looking for solutions to their problems and could have options for the future if the new bet goes well. The white club has difficulties for the new footballers to position themselves and take a step forward. At the white club, the players with the most experience continue to command and there is no one to take their place.
Carlo Ancelotti has to make a decision with Vinícius Tobias
Carlo Ancelotti keeps making decisions and has to keep making them, but it’s also true that he’s a fairly conservative manager and doesn’t tend to take a lot of risks. And he has a difficult decision on the table. Seeing that he has a big problem in the right-back position, with Dani Carvajal as the undisputed starter and then Lucas Vázquez as a substitute, he lacks a second of guarantees. Nor has Antonio Rüdiger worked when he has played on the wing as a necessity. And Álvaro Odriozola was the only white player who did not play a single minute this season .

That is why Ancelotti thinks that the best footballer to become a regular in the Merengue first team is Vinícius Tobias . The young Brazilian winger, only 18 years old, who landed at Castilla last April after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk in the middle of the war in Ukraine, has not yet had the opportunities expected.
However, Ancelotti believes that now is the time for Vinícius Tobias, as his contract expires at the end of the season and they have to decide whether to send him out or stay at Real Madrid. At the moment, he does not have a place in the white first team, but as it has become known in recent days, Ancelotti aims to offer him some opportunity because they want to get rid of Odiozola next January.

Raúl González Blanco praises Vinícius Tobias
Raúl González Blanco, the coach of Castilla, has already said on more than one occasion the great progression that Vinícius Tobias has had. And it has become one of the references of the white subsidiary. In addition, the Madrid coach has praised him a lot: ” In these four or five months he is improving . Offensively he has quality and every time he is daring to do more and more things. And defensively, when the team has been organized and more solid with the line of five, we helped him for his progression.”
Raúl has also made it clear that whether he has to play with the first team of Real Madrid or if he has to stay at Castilla is a decision that does not belong to him: “The subject of the decision does not correspond to me”. ” We hope that he stays this season and when the decision has to be made, that it is the best for him and for the club,” he adds.

He also specifies that “my intention is to help him, like everyone else, and look for his best version and accumulate demanding matches, like the three this week that he has been able to play, like many, with a little fatigue , but to which he must adapt for his sports career”. A Raúl who would be delighted if Vinícius Tobías stayed, but now it would be his turn to go up to the Real Madrid first team
