Carlo Ancelotti has used a 4-3-3 formation to win six titles withReal Madrid. Now, withJude Bellinghamin his squad, the Italian could switch to a 4-3-1-2 formation for the new season, according toAS.
Bellingham could feature in the No 10 role forLos Blancosand the ɾєρօɾτ suggests that theReal Madridcoaching staff are already working on that formation ahead of 2023-24.
The England midfielder’s 14 goals atBorussia Dortmundlast season is something that Ancelotti believes will help his XI going forward.
Madrid’s idea, without Karim Benzema, is to play Vinícius and Rodrygo as the front two. Real Madrid’s new No.7 and No.11 have just completed fine seasons, with Vinícius scoring 23 goals and Rodrygo netting 19.
Ancelotti’s original idea, as ɾєρօɾτed byAS, was for Harry Kane to be the club’s new No 9, with Kai Havertz as another option. However, getting the Tottenham captain or Chelsea forward would involve a significant financial effort similar to the €103m paid out for Bellingham.
