Real Madrid is experiencing serious difficulties in ball distribution when opponents apply high pressure. This aspect has become more evident with the absence of David Alaba, who is currently injured. The Austrian defender is a key player for the team in these situations due to his technical ability, precision, and skill in distributing the ball effectively from the back. His presence significantly enhances the flow of Madrid's game by initiating plays from the defense, a quality the team is sorely missing.

Currently, Alaba is still recovering from his injury, which will keep him off the pitch at least until November. The club does not want to set a fixed date for his return. The priority is for the player to fully recover and for his comeback to be guided by his feelings and physical condition, without unnecessary pressure.

Alaba could alleviate Real Madrid's problems

Although Carlo Ancelotti avoids public discussion on this matter, it is known that he highly values Alaba's exceptional ability to start plays from the defense. In private, the Italian coach has expressed the need for a center-back with effective ball distribution, a trait that Alaba can provide if he returns in good shape post-injury. However, doubts about his physical condition remain a significant uncertainty.

In the meantime, Ancelotti will have to rotate his defense, having already resorted to solutions like using Aurélien Tchouaméni in the central defense. The club chose not to reinforce the defense after losing Leny Yoro against Manchester United and has decided to wait until 2025 to sign a long-term defender who can lead the team in the coming years.
