Carlo Ancelotti has a serious problem for the upcoming matches. The defense is completely depleted and he can't quite fit what he has. Against Leganés, he took the opportunity to test the youth player Jacobo Ramón, but he didn't fully convince him and his presence in the upcoming matches is ruled out. He didn't meet the expected level and it's considered that giving him minutes in high-level matches could be detrimental for him.
After the match against Leganés, Carlo Ancelotti noted about Jacobo Ramón: "He paid for his first match with us, he was nervous, but then he was more accurate. Jacobo is not the one who played today. He paid for it a lot. He's a very good player and a very good defender. We count on him and he'll be with us until the end of the season. He's going to play better than today, I'm convinced".
However, despite these kind words toward Jacobo Ramón, the reality is that Ancelotti isn't considering him for the matches against Atlético and Manchester City. The coach of Real Madrid needs experience for these important matches and believes the youth player isn't ready to defend the colors of the white club.
Jacobo Ramón is very calm
Despite having problems against Leganés, Jacobo Ramón spoke with Carlo Ancelotti after the match ended. The conversation left him very calm because it showed him his total confidence despite having had a somewhat complicated match. In this regard, the coach of Real Madrid conveyed to him that he will continue staying with the first team for the rest of the season.
There have been many injury problems in Real Madrid this season. The defensive area is suffering and in recent days Rüdiger and Alaba have joined the infirmary. Ancelotti has no confidence in Vallejo and will opt for the youth academy to solve this.
In any case, Jacobo Ramón isn't expected to be important in the upcoming matches, which are crucial for the course of the season. The youth player Raúl Asencio will be, with only the question of who will be his substitute. Carlo Ancelotti is undecided between two options: Tchouaméni on the right side, or Ferland Mendy on the left.
He has time and will soon make a decision, but everything seems to indicate that Jacobo Ramón will remain on the bench after the Leganés match.
