Time and life take unexpected paths, leaving the fate of many players beyond their actual control, which explains the current situation of Ferland Mendy, who has become a growing source of questions among Real Madrid fans.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid is looking forward to facing Getafe today, as the team seeks to regain its balance and secure three points at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, getting closer to the top after Barcelona’s surprising defeat to Las Palmas.
\nBut as the match approaches, it seems that the formation Carlo Ancelotti will choose is not completely clear, especially in certain positions, most notably the left-back position.<\/p>\n
The main reason for this is the internal debate occupying the club\u2019s corridors regarding Ferland Mendy, who was heavily criticized after his unconvincing performance against Liverpool at Anfield.
\nMendy failed to make the required impact in attack, nor did he perform well defensively, which had been considered his main strength. This angered Real Madrid fans.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, Fran Garc\u00eda has started to gain strong ground in the competition for this position. Even among the coaching staff, Garc\u00eda is beginning to be seen as more than just a replacement for Ferland Mendy, with David Ancelotti now viewing him as “better” than the French defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
