Madrid is in a bad condition after many of their players are injured this time, so it does require them to strengthen the squad in the transfer market later, but I hope that when the transfer market opens later it should not be too late for them as title contenders this season, the injuries of several defenders should be a concern for Ancelotti to strengthen the backline especially this season they have a busy schedule,there are several transfer rumors circulating regarding players who may be brought in in the winter transfer market, some of the names that appear are cambiaso , saliba and also alexander asrnold from liverpool to strengthen their defensive line later, with strong finances and a great reputation as a championship team, of course Real Madrid does has a great attraction for many top european players, So if they manage to bring in these players then I think Madrid problem is over.
Real Madrid had enough budget to bring in the players they wanted, but they didn't. Ancelotti and the Real Madrid management are very confident in the existing squad and they have answered all doubts with their good performance so far. This is not the first time Real Madrid has had many injuries to several main players, last season was the same, but they won two prestigious titles in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Bringing in players to act as cover for other injured players has most likely been in Real Madrid's transfer plans so far. They will definitely get it, but don't expect all the problems to be resolved, of course because it's not just the players who can make the team perform as well as expected.

Carlo Ancelotti can indeed make some changes or rotation of players to cover the gaps due to the many injured players but it will not be effective, now the situation in the Real Madrid team is very difficult and they must bring in new players in the January transfer market later, otherwise it is likely that Real Madrid will not be able to compete for the title.
He has to make changes with players they have in main squad and from youth academy too. Injury crisis like this will open more opportunities for young players and who know one or some of them will light up their career since this season.

Quote
For two months before the transfer market opens, maybe Carlo Ancelotti can still survive with the existing squad as we know that Carlo Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of experience and he should know what he is doing.
Real Madrid will need one or two defenders in the winter transfer season in bought transfers or loan transfers. They have enough good attacking players and can rotate them easily but in defense, they lack of enough players for rotation and with some injuries recently, things are worse for Real Madrid. Getting one or two defenders in the winter transfer season will help them to avoid unwanted situation in hardest months of season, that can decide they win titles or not.

I also have the same thought. The most worrying thing about Real Madrid is their back line. Even if they didn't have any luck where many of their opponents' shots hit the crossbar, it looks like they will concede more goals than they have been doing so far. It's a shame that Eder Militao can't return to his former form after the injury he sustained, for that reason, Real Madrid really needs a strong central defender, and maybe they also need to consider looking for a replacement for Toni Kroos.

I think two months left before January window transfer opening, Madrid need new approach for signing new players on left defender position because have many important match on second half make most busy schedule matches with Madrid will play on FIFA Club World Cup indeed have target keep defending the La Liga and UEFA Champion League trophy in this season.
The top brass have planned to bring in several players in the upcoming transfer market, especially in the back area to patch up injured players. If that happens, of course Ancelotti will find it easy to formulate tactics in every match because the problems in the team have been resolved. and it will be very easy for Real Madrid to choose who to recruit with good finances and the big name of Madrid, those who play outside the league will be tempted.
Maintaining the La Liga and UCL titles is very important for Los Blancos.

After 8 rounds, Barcelona are leading La Liga teams in the first place followed by Real Madrid. Interestingly in October, there will be a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is the best chance for every team to catch and advance.
What's a bit funny is that game will come after Barcelona's match against Bayern Munich in Champions League Roll Eyes

Mbappe is a newcomer so Ancelotti will not change the position of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo who are old Real Madrid players as wingers while what Ancelotti needs is a center forward so whether he likes it or not Mbappe must be ready for that position because from the start the coach must have said it and Mbappe must be ready for all the consequences, but in my opinion it won't take long for Mbappe to adapt to the team he is basically a pretty great player in the striker position he just changes his position but has the same task.

Mbappe is new and if Ancelotti should risk the position of replacing Vinicius and Rodrigo position will only put the club at more risk because they were there before Mbappe and they were playing better before he later joined so he was just like a plus to the club, mbappe needs to be more than ready because everyone is looking to what will happen when he starts playing forward-center. he should know that his going there to play a serious game and not for the fanciness of playing for real Madrid, and with time am very sure that his going to take proper shape in Madrid changing leagues is what is currently affecting him but time will tell exactly if the changing in the league is what is affecting mbappe or is becoming lazy but I still have faith in the young man that he will do what is right when the time is right, just like the case of Benzema, mbappe will surprise a lot of people.

Only Lucas Vázquez as the left defender recently for Real Madrid after Dani Carvajal got injury and out until the end of this season, its big problem because Madrid less option for left defender position than central defender because have other player can play well on that position. No doubt with Carlo Ancelotti tactician how make rotation and moving some players put them on new position, but have an exceptional because Ancelotti never make huge rotation on left defender although with possibility for playing Eder Militao on Dani Carvajal's position.

Yes you are right Real Madrid inconsistency is big worry. They mostly play very well but then their performance drops suddenly. Ancelotti needs to fix this problem. Issue might be due to problems between players or mistakes in Ancelotti strategy. If this is not resolved it will hurt players confidence and teamwork. Real Madrid has excellent players but their bench strength is uncertain. When key players get injured it greatly affects team performance. Ancelotti must find main reason for this problem and solve it quickly. If not Real Madrid chances of winning titles will be affected.
What you said is very logical for Real Madrid and also for Ancelotti to think carefully as the coach of Real Madrid. Because previously Real Madrid also had better reserve players so that their performance was not so affected when their main players were injured. But for this season it seems to be a bit different so Ancelotti needs to find out where the problem is and try to solve it as soon as possible before Real Madrid really loses the chance to become champions again this season because they are late in fixing the problems that are happening in the team.
No matter how bad Real Madrid's performance is, they can always get through the match quite well. Indeed, not many goals were scored, but at least this season Madrid has not been defeated in La Liga and in the Champions League they lost once, Madrid is considered unstable but still fine not much affected. In total there are 8 Madrid players who are injured but some will return sooner than expected. Courtois, Militao and Vini have been confirmed to have recovered this month. So they have enough time to prepare themselves against Barcelona in the first El Clasico match.

Last I saw Carvajal on the list of injured players and he had undergone surgery so that conditions like this could continue to be a problem. Although there are a number of substitute players in that position, it may be different from the abilities possessed by Carvajal.

Barcelona are title contenders this season, so no one will take them lightly in a match against anyone in La Liga. Until week 9, Barcelona only lost 1 time and the rest won 8 times. Barcelona's defeat was certainly surprising considering their good performance, but there was a reason why they lost. But Barcelona came back and they won another game after that defeat. Leading the standings with a 3 point gap from Real Madrid is certainly not safe, but Barcelona is a team that really cannot be underestimated this season.

Barcelona is by far the most productive team in La Liga, scoring 28 goals in 9 matches. Lewandowski contributed 10 goals, 5 goals from Raphinha, the other 13 goals were scored by other players including Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Dani Olmo.
Actually, every season they are one of the candidates to be able to become champions in LA Liga, it's just that in the last few seasons the trust in them has decreased slightly, this is inseparable from the problems they face, one of which is that they have not been able to get out of financial problems. Even when they have this problem they can actually become champions, precisely in the 2022/2023 season. Even though in the previous season they were even in the middle of the board, but the management moved quickly to change the coach and appointed Xavi as their coach.

Real Madrid no longer have a super star striker after Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema leaving their clubs recent seasons. Mbappe is not a striker but he was used at that position several times in PSG and France teams, that could help you to adapt to striker position and role and he will do it better in Real Madrid.

These current players might not be like Cristiano Ronaldo no doubts but they don't suck at scoring goals if they have the right creativity. Just to let you know, Cristiano Ronaldo was never a center forward, he was a midfielder and then more of a direct winger for Manchester United even for Madrid. Kylian Mbappe is the same but he should move more to the center forward position more so he can score goals. I feel like he'll do better when he is not being the point man. Did y'all watch the world cup finals against Argentina? Immediately he was removed as the point man, he was able to score all the goals he scored. Playing him as the CF doesn't work IMO!
It will not be easy for a team to have the same player again as the player who played very well, for example Real Madrid will find it very difficult to find a player who can play like Ronaldo. He is a great player and contributes greatly to Real Madrid's game, but it is not only from his hard work, but other players can work well together so that he can play very well too. Mbappe is predicted to be the right replacement, but it is also very difficult, because these two players also have different playing styles. I think now Mbappe also has to work hard with the new role he plays at Real Madrid.

Yeremy Pino was many players' worst nightmare, and he caused two players, Ter Stegen and Dani Carvajal, to get injured.
Both players are injured hard, and there is even the chance that Carvajal will end his career because of getting injured hard. However, Pino didn't make Carvajal injure himself, but he was there. The same is true for Ter Stegen, Barcelona's goalkeeper.
Now it seems Yeremy Pino himself is injured too and he is playing in Villarreal for some weeks because of the game they had against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are facing some challenges this season including how they can continue to maintain their position and also their consistency in the league and Champions League when the storm of injuries is the main problem, but for those of us who have known and seen how Ancelotti extensive experience and have the capacity to overcome every problem.

This season's journey is still very long and I think Ancelotti is a very experienced coach so I am sure he will be able to solve this problem and even last season Real Madrid also experienced the same thing and at the end of the season they were successful. Although this season is different, Ancelotti's experience makes it possible that he will be able to solve the current problems and there is also news that in the January transfer window Real Madrid will bring in new defenders because of the many injured players at this time, so there are many opportunities that can be maximized by Ancelotti to fix the existing problems.
I think Madrid fans may not be too worried about the current condition of their team, I think Ancelotti has a better ability to maintain stability and consistency in the current team so it is likely that they will still be title contenders this season, although we can see tactical changes that have not been fully successful and a lack of intensity in defense,But that certainly won't make fans lose faith in Ancelotti and I think gradually they will be able to find their best form to continue to be able to maintain their status as the defending champions of La Liga and the Champions League.

I also noticed this imbalance - 5 draws with zero losses and 4 wins. Against the background of the best defense (judging by the number of goals conceded) in the league, it looks like a spring that should be released. If their attack (which has been expected to do a lot this season) starts to work better, they will be no worse than Real/Barcelona.
I had been a good fan of Simeone right from his appearance as ATM coach. There's no doubt he had in the past and still presently contributing immensely for the growth of the club. Prior his arrival in ATM, the club was struggling in the middle of the Laliga table. But after his arrival, he has been so consistent in the top 4if the Laliga table. Well, he has once lifted the title, but I think it is time a fresh body is introduced to the club. I think the boys are so used to him. The management needs to at this time take some risk. Who knows, it could turn out better than expected.

If I'm not mistaken, the investments that came into the club played a significant role in his success. But nevertheless, 2 La Liga titles + 2 Champions League finals are achievements that not every coach can boast of. As for the changes, they have been very relevant in recent years as Atletico has been stagnating, this season they have made certain changes and probably if this does not give results then Simeone will have to leave, he has been at the club for too long.

Now the problem that needs to be solved is how to patch up the positions left by the core players due to the injuries that continue to hit them. So far, Ancelotti has rarely given opportunities to players who have always warmed the bench, so when the situation in the starting XI is unbalanced, Ancelotti will be confused and the negative effect will greatly affect his team's performance. The season is still long, several players are confirmed to have long-term injuries. Real Madrid need to find a solution to overcome this problem, their best option is to use the January transfer market to find players who can complete the missing Puzzle.


So far, Ancelotti is in no hurry to look for replacements for these players, apparently he expects that he can count on the players he has as a substitute and on the help of those players who remain in the team, and if the right flank of the defense fails, then he will need to look for a replacement. Barcelona decided to act immediately after Ter Stegen's injury, but Szczesny has not played a single game for Barcelona yet, although the goalkeeper position is much more important than the defender position, where other players can back him up. But Ancelotti has not yet solved the problems with the midfield, and is already faced with new difficulties.

One a big problem of Madrid now is inconsistent to hold their performance along the match. The team sometime appears dominant, but then experienced a significant decline their performance. Ancelotti must pay attention to this problem. We don't know what is problem between player, or something happen with anceloti strategy, if this inconsistent not fix it immediately will have an effect to player confidence and cohesion. Madrid have the star player, but sometime many people asked about the squad depth, so if any star player injury that also impact with team and make the performance decreased drastically.

Yes you are right Real Madrid inconsistency is big worry. They mostly play very well but then their performance drops suddenly. Ancelotti needs to fix this problem. Issue might be due to problems between players or mistakes in Ancelotti strategy. If this is not resolved it will hurt players confidence and teamwork. Real Madrid has excellent players but their bench strength is uncertain. When key players get injured it greatly affects team performance. Ancelotti must find main reason for this problem and solve it quickly. If not Real Madrid chances of winning titles will be affected.

I think from the performance of Real Madrid you could see how hard it is for them to win matches on Ike they have always won in the past even in the champions league they have been struggling this season, the problem may not be from the players I think the coach is still not able to solve it because he is yet to figure out the right strategies to use since Mbappe is now with the team. The problem in Real Madrid started since Mbappe joined the team not the case of injuries or mistakes from the coach rather there was a little changes in the position of the players which I think the team is trying to adapt to, Ancelotti has to do a good work to ensure his team gets better otherwise they will find it difficult to win matches when they face strong opponents.

This is a natural thing because they did lose several important players in the team so that Real Madrid's overall performance did not go according to plan. But even so, Real Madrid's performance is not too bad, it's just that they failed to secure several wins so that Barcelona managed to occupy the top of the standings. Ancelotti must be really serious about facing this problem because if it continues to be left alone, the challengers will find it much easier to collect points.

Last I saw Carvajal on the list of injured players and he had undergone surgery so that conditions like this could continue to be a problem. Although there are a number of substitute players in that position, it may be different from the abilities possessed by Carvajal.
