Tony Kroos position was handed over completely to Valverde so that next season he will wear the number 8 jersey. Carlo Ancelotti carried out many experiments throughout this season, rotating Valverde until finally the midfielder position was entrusted to him with Bellingham and Modric. Imao as long as Madrid midfield is solid, the front attackers Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo will focus on building attacks.

This summer it seems that Real Madrid will still bring in several additional players, and this will also be accompanied by the sale of several reserve players whose contributions have not yet been utilized by Ancelotti. For Real Madrid next season the composition will be much fresher, filled with young players, except for the back line which will still be guarded by Carvajal, Rudiger and Militao.

For me, I believe that it does not really matter which strategies Ancellotti uses because the structures of his attackers will remain the same. Firstly, Mbappe will play as a central striker;secondly, Vinicius will play on the left side; and thirdly, Rodrygo will continue to play on the right side. 

Vini (LW), Mbappe (ST), and Rodrygo (RW) formed an explosive combination on the field. It makes no difference what strategy you choose, such as 433, 4231, or 4141. Their positions will remain unchanged. There will be no rotation until one of them gets injured. 

Although Vini, Mbappe, and Rodrygo can be swapped out, Ancellotti will always remain in the best lineup. In the end, they will keep playing in their best positions. 



Eh, you asked whether Madrid can replace Tony Krooss; therefore, I'd say Madrid has no problem with Kroos' decision to leave the club. 
Are you forgetting this? 

Whatever they decides to play I guess it will still end up for the team just to get the results coming and one thing am certain about their manager is actually getting the jobs done because that's what really matter, I believe he can even convert mbappe to a direct striker just as they did to CR7 beside he is a versatile player and I think he can definitely adjust to whatever position he is given.

The last news I read was the option to make Joselu permanent until June 30 to activate the clause. After that, I haven't received the latest news regarding this 34 year old player. IMO, Madrid or Ancelotti still need a pure striker and Joselu is that option. Even though it looks like Joselu won't have much playing time, it seems that staying at Madrid is the highest point of his career at his current age. However, he can still contribute to Los Blancos. Even though he was only a cover player, Joselu made a big contribution, especially when they overthrew Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

Well, as you said, it seems very likely that Joselu would be very happy if Real Madrid made him permanent at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even though there is now Mbappe, who will most likely always be the main starter in Ancelotti's squad, this apparently does not prevent Joselu from remaining at the Santiago Bernabeu. After all, his role will be quite crucial as a substitute player with the schedule that Madrid will carry out in the new season. Another option, Ancelotti can use various systems and strategies according to what he wants to implement for his team's squad with the available player resources. By the way, I am quite sure of the previous news, that Joselu will enjoy his role at Real Madrid and that is his wish and decision.

Ancelotti is definitely thinking about the best tactics and might return to the 4-3-3 formation. In this setup, Vinicius would play on the left, Mbappe in the center, and Rodrygo on the right wing. This could be Madrid's lineup for next season. However, can Madrid really afford to replace Toni Kroos, who has been central to their playing style? A new transition in tactics under Ancelotti's supervision could be great, but Kroos will be missed. Still, I believe Madrid has quality backups for every position on the field.

I don’t know, it seems to me that everything will be fine, the basis of the attack will be Vinicius and Mbappe, Rodrigo may need to move a little lower to Vinnicius, everything will depend on what formation Ancelotti will play with. Don’t forget that Cross left the team and this place is in the middle line, he will need to be replaced by someone. Whatever it is, it’s better to have a problem like this when you have a lot of players and you decide who to give the opportunity to play, than like PSG when they were left without a striker and you’re thinking about who to replace him with.

Like I said before Rodrygo's position can be affected but since leaving the team is what has been on his mind then I feel is a better choice because one has to drop for Mbappe, between Vinicius Jr Bellingham and the man Rodrygo to create space for their new man Mbappe, they can't be having 4 of them and expect one of them to be happy to stay.
Rodrygo has been a starter and now might be the time for him to come from the bench or not to start at all just like Joselu, so it would be nice of him (Rodrygo) to leave because we never know what might happen after all the hand writing is written bold on the wall and as for Joselu staying or leave is a choice for him to make after the experience he had with the team last campaign.

So far we have always assumed that Manchester United has a bad squad that makes Ten Hag have to rebuild his squad, but if we have seen that actually the squad owned by Ten Hag is currently filled with the best players who have a champion mentality before they joined Manchester United, with the existing squad as it is today, it seems that ten Hag only needs to optimize the strategy and also the game scheme that It has been applied so far so that it can make the players bring out their best performance in playing.

Manchester United have retained ten hag and they will also fully support ten hag with a big fund in the summer, Manchester United is rumored to be eager to recruit Fermin from Manchester United, as a talented young midfielder of course Fermin was able to show quite good performance after he was promoted to Barcelona's first squad, reportedly Barcelona have rejected a 30 million euro offer from Manchester United and Barcelona want to keep Fermin unless There is indeed a higher offer.

The fact is that Real Madrid can actually do without Mbappe,  they have been playing for two seasons now without a striker and they keep winning trophies,  Mbappe is just an additional advantage to the squad,  with him the team will balance well, they struggle a bit without a striker, but now everyone will be playing in their positions of talent. June won't be use as top 9 again,  because of Mbappe,  but if the coach want to have a second choice striker,  I think he needs to go get a player older than Mbappe with more experience. Because if they get a player that's much younger than Mbappe,  he won't play any game, that's the fact, he will end up warming bench. Real Madrid is a world class club. Only classic players that they will consider in the team.

mbape is the perfect attacker any good coach that's interested in winning trophies would want to be on his side. Dude is young, has the pace, is matured up there and has a personality that strengthen his team mate. You can't see many of those kind of players like that. One thing about the Madrid team is that almost all the players are world class and experience players that knows what's football and that's why even when they are loosing In the 80th minutes, they keep fighting and believing that they won't just equalize but that they can still win the match. Without mbape, the real Madrid team will still do very well but to strengthen things up and put a lot of fear in your opponents mind, you've got to be ready in all angles and put up the fight. The team want to be balance on and off the bench and that's why with the dozens of useful players they have, the coach isn't relenting in his effort to recruit more world class players.

If I'm Joselu or I'm to advise him, I will tell him to look for another club this summer. A player like him shouldn't be considered as a second choice. He has the quality to be the main striker in any other club. Just as you have stated above, he has saved real Madrid several times and it was remarkable what he did against Bayern Munich in the semi finals yet he wasn't considered for a starting place in the finals. With the arrival of Mbappe things will get worse for him as he will fall further behind the picking order of Carlos Ancelotti. So if he wants a regular playing time next season he should seek it elsewhere as it's clear enough that his has lost his place in the Madrid squad, unless he want to only be featuring in the Copa del Ray or being brought into play in the 85th minutes and 90 plus. He has got the quality to establish himself elsewhere, so it's left for him to make his choice.

Joselu was needed when other forward players had difficulty scoring goals and in the against Bayern Munich or against Dortmund he was included to make a difference up front.
Ancelotti understands when Joselu needs to be played and I think his strategy is always successful when placing players, that's why I see Ancelotti as having the best ability when looking at the potential results of his players' games.

Mbappe will definitely be a core player for Real Madrid and I am also sure that when needed Joselu will still be played.
There are many options that Ancelotti can make for the front line positions and that should be good for them.
The combination of several players will make it easier for Ancelotti to rotate if needed so that Real Madrid's strength will still look strong.

Rodrygo's position is very insecure at Real Madrid and for the future of his career it is not good so now there are rumors that he will leave Real Madrid but apart from that Joselu is also quite an important player for Real Madrid even though Mbappe comes but Ancelotti also has to think about it about replacements when something happens to the main players and the decision to give Joselu a new contract I think is very correct.

Yeah, Joselu should've know he will rarely play, this season Real Madrid also benched him for many times, so if Joselu isn't happy with that, he can reject the offer.

But, I really doubt Joselu will reject the offer because he's become a professional football player since 2009, but he only get trophies when he play for Spain and Real Madrid. This must be his biggest achievement after playing football for at least 15 years, he has no chance to win any trophy if he play for mediocre team.

Good thing you saw it the way I'm seeing it, to me that's disrespectful and I can't say he should be too comfortable with his (Joselu) situation at Madrid, I don't to see him as pawn in that squad but that's how it looks like. Let's say he's there for the achievement because no club stands a chance of getting all Madrid have gotten and will get in the nearest future. I'm even scared of Rodrygo getting less time of play since Mbappe is now part of the team, Ancelotti's plan might change and it will affect Rodrygo too, but let's see what will happen next season.

When other transfer windows open we see several teams let go of players as well as buy new players but this season we don't see much movement in the transfer market. Mbappe's move to Real Madrid this season is perhaps the biggest news of the transfer market so far. And in a few days the transfer window will be upper off close and after the transfer window is closed no team can release any player or bring any player to their team even if they want to. We will know the decision on the matter under discussion only when the club says something about it. With the kind of players that Real Madrid has, it is quite normal for this player to move to another club.

There is no doubt that Mbappe will immediately become the main player there and will fill the spearhead position on Real Madrid's front line. Because Mbappe was brought in to be a goal scoring machine there. And in fact, until last season, Real Madrid didn't seem to have found a suitable replacement for Benzema's position there. And now after Mbappe I feel that Real Madrid have finally succeeded in bringing in a football star who can be on par with Benzema in that position. That doesn't mean I underestimate the other players. but I just feel that this season is the season where the Real Madrid squad returns to full strength after Benzema left. Joselu is still an important player who Real Madrid really needs even though he will only be a second tier player. But with Joselu we will always see Real Madrid remaining strong even during a busy match schedule. And Joselu would be much needed at such a time. Because by having great players in the second tier, the team will not worry about the busy match schedule that awaits. Ancelotti also definitely finds it easier to rotate players with many options he can choose from.

Ancelotti did not give him a chance to start even after his goals in the semi-final against Bayern, so it can be said that Ancelotti is not changing his working strategy and there will always be a place for Joselu on the bench. Moreover, with the arrival of Mbappe, this situation will worsen, I doubt that Mbappe or Rodrigo will be on the bench. But apparently Joselu is happy with this, he goes on the field for twenty minutes, scores several goals, but he plays in Real Madrid, everyone makes their own choice.

I agree that you are right, but that matter will only occur if there is loan extension, Barcelona will not be able to buy Joao Cancelo permanently and if there is request for an extension then it all comes down to Manchester City whether they will agree to it or vice versa.
What is clear is that if Joao Cancelo returns with Manchester City it will also really help them in fighting for title that can be defended next season because several times Manchester City back line has also experienced problems such as player crises when main players are absent.
What is clear is that I don't find any certainty regarding Joao Cancelo future status at Barcelona, ​​he has spent fairly satisfactory season until this summer, maybe it won't be long before the two team will enter into an agreement or discussion regarding Joao Cancelo.

Yes, but I also little confused about what Pep will do for Joao Cancelo if Barcelona doesn't extend his contract or buy him permanently, if indeed he returns to the Manchester City squad and just sits on the bench that not problem either.
There will be the right time to take advantage of Joao Cancelo performance to enter the main squad, I sure Pep will be able to take every step that is best for his players and Manchester City.

Let's forget about his age, Joselu is a good player but you guys forget something about how Ancelotti has been rotating his players. Since before now when Madrid hasn't gotten Mbappe let's say since the beginning of last campaign, has the coach been showing any sign of giving this guy Joselu a better opportunity? He always sit on the bench or sometimes he plays Joselu around 80-85mins just for him to kill the time, sometimes Ancelotti doesn't even play the guy so what's the assurance that he'll have a playing time (base on swapping the playing) now that they have Mbappe? To me Joselu is just there and there's no special reason for him to be there, if Ancelotti wants to do any sub he can even bring in a defender or a midfielder instead of Joselu.
