It is refreshing to watch Joselu show the coach Carlo Ancelotti what he can do if he is allowed to play the number 9 role. Real Madrid has struggled in front of goals with Joselu on the bench consecutively, after Joselu impressive start in the midweek, he was rewarded with another start and yes, he got a goal and an assist which is very reassuring to the manager.
The tie against Girona went as expected; Kings will always be Kings, and Real Madrid has rightly put Girona in their track with a comprehensive 3 nil victory away from home. Real Madrid are back on top, with a point edge over Barcelona.
Do you think Carlo Ancelotti will reward striker, Joselu with another start in the next Real Madrid game ?
Their next game is going to be against Napoli away in the Champions League. It is going to be a much more important and difficult game at the same time. However while Joselu is in great shape I don't feel like we would see Rodrygo right beside Vinicius Junior. I believe Joselu deserves the position in the starting eleven in this game as well.
Rodrygo will need to work harder now as he also must have realized that the competition between him and Joselu is going to be tough these days.
