Real Madrid have not started the season in an ideal way, which has worried some of their fans, despite winning all but two of their matches, which they drew.
Real Madrid managed to win a match that was inconsistent in terms of performance against Stuttgart in the first round of the Champions League matches in its new version.
In the last match, Lucas Vazquez had a disappointing performance, making mistakes that could have cost the team the result of the match. Despite this, Ancelotti continues to put his trust in the player, and plans to give him minutes in the next match or next Tuesday, to give Carvajal some rest.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, in his conversation with Vazquez in Valdebebas, Ancelotti referred to the incident in the Stuttgart match, saying: “That was a bad day for Lucas Vazquez, and he has already been forgotten.”
He realizes that the team’s poor performance is not only due to the players, which makes him feel an additional responsibility to work with the technical staff to find appropriate solutions.
Lucas is expected to be an important element during the season, given the busy schedule and the need to give Carvajal rest to be ready for the crucial matches, as Carvajal is a key player in the national team, which means he will miss some periods.
Last season, Lucas was awarded a contract renewal after performing well when given the opportunity, which made the club consider making radical changes in the future, and with him approaching his 34th year in July 2025, he has several attractive financial offers on the market, which could increase the possibility of his departure.
