Since the beginning of the season in the Liga EA Sports, Brahim Díaz arrived with the status of a leading figure, but has been losing ground to blend into Xabi Alonso's rotation system. What started as an undisputed starting position has now turned into a back-and-forth situation where Mastantuono, Bellingham, and the return of Camavinga have compacted the offensive white cast.

The dilemma of Brahim Díaz facing Xabi Alonso's rotation

At the beginning of the season, Brahim Díaz enjoyed constant playing time, supported by Xabi Alonso's trust. However, that exposure is becoming more sporadic. Argentinian Mastantuono has emerged as a clear alternative on the wing; Englishman Jude Bellingham has regained prominence; and Camavinga, once recovered, brings a versatile profile that diminishes opportunities for the Malaga native. In this context, the international player finds himself with fewer chances to secure moments in the spotlight.

The Basque coach has recently defended the rotation policy in the Madrid locker room, stating that he needs "everyone" when the intense stages of the season arrive. However, this strategy is not favoring Brahim Díaz. As reported by DefensaCentral, there have been matchdays where the attacker has been left on the bench without significant exposure.

Challenges, merits, and urgencies: keys to Brahim Díaz's recovery

To reverse his situation, Brahim must juggle three key factors. First, maintain an impeccable attitude: continue training without complaints, giving your best in each session. That discipline adds points with the coaching staff. Second, he will need punctual impacts – a dangerous shot, a decisive assist, a destabilizing action – to justify his inclusion as a game-changer. Third, convince the club to bet on him for the future: negotiations are planned for a renewal beyond June 2027, ensuring his continuity in the squad.

His value is not only in words. The coaching staff and some teammates highlight his ability to move in tight spaces with both legs, his constant pressure, and defensive commitment. He possesses a profile that every coach desires: loyal, hardworking, and talented enough to take on a leading role in key moments.

Of course, not everything depends on him. Xabi Alonso aims to have an active and alert squad. With matches every few days in La Liga EA Sports, European competitions, and cups, sooner or later he will need to turn to Brahim. He can do this by prioritizing keeping all players engaged and not leaving any positions without energy.

What role can Brahim Díaz claim in the new Madrid?

In the midst of ego and talent battles, Brahim Díaz can assert himself as that creative midfielder or winger who brings freshness. Not to be the focal point of the attack, but to appear when the plan requires it. With other attackers present, his ideal use may be in demanding matches where, coming off the bench, he energizes the team with his breakthroughs and mobility.

In the short term, it is about regaining confidence and making a mark when given the opportunity. If he manages a couple of impactful appearances, Xabi Alonso cannot ignore his case.

In the upcoming matches, all eyes will be on him: Will Brahim Díaz return to the center of attention? Even as his prominence diminishes, he remains determined and ready to fight until he reclaims his place. Brahim Díaz
