Real Madrid are now focused on their clash against Valladolid, the rival against whom Real Madrid will seek their first victory in the 2024-25 La Liga.
Carlo Ancelotti’s players have already overcome what happened against Mallorca, knowing that Valladolid will demand the best version of Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
However, Real Madrid’s technical staff, headed by the Italian coach, had a theme in mind that he had thought about once the Mallorca game was over.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central : Carlo Ancelotti thought a lot about Joselu last Sunday, in this type of match with his opponent who was clumsy at the back because those balls in the area and those crosses were half a goal for the Spanish striker.
Florentino Pérez, as well as the technical staff, wanted him to be part of the team this season, thus completing Vinicius Junior, Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo Goes and Brahim Díaz, but the player preferred the money offered by Qatar.
“We need him in this type of game, he was a different type,” the Italian coach admitted in Valdebebas after the Mallorca game.
