Real Madrid teenage duo shine as Ancelotti experiments dynamic frontline in pre-season training

The pre-season offers coaches maximum authority to tinker around with their available personnel and extract new ideas.

With Real Madrid’s US pre-season tour beginning shortly against AC Milan, coach Carlo Ancelotti is experimenting with new concepts in training.

Currently, Real Madrid are broadcasting their training session live from Chicago on Real Madrid TV.

Real Madrid’s formidable depth

With the additions of Endrick and Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window, one of Los Blancos’ key strengths will be their formidable depth in attack.

Now, Ancelotti is capitalizing on this newfound depth by experimenting with a front three of Arda Guler, Endrick, and Brahim Diaz during today’s training session when they played a mini-match.

This trio has quickly made an impression, with Endrick scoring twice, both goals assisted by Guler. This promising combination highlights the impressive depth and future potential within Madrid’s squad.

Guler’s creative passing combined with Endrick’s instinctive goal-scoring ability creates a partnership that could challenge opponents significantly in the future.

In fact, the pair’s exploits in training today are perhaps a brief glimpse of things to come in the upcoming season.

Although the likes of Guler, Endrick, and Brahim are not anticipated to feature regularly over Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., or Rodrygo Goes, Real Madrid can take solace in knowing their secondary options are capable enough to be starters in most European elite sides.

Moreover, having such promising players on the bench would allow the starters to frequently be preserved for big encounters, ensuring the risk of injury does not loom large.

Having such talented players on the squad means that the expected starters will constantly face competition from eager challengers looking to secure a spot in the starting lineup.

Following a campaign riddled with injuries, Ancelotti will be relieved to know that he is finally spoiled for choice.
