Real Madrid has suffered one of its most challenging seasons in terms of injuries. Several key players have had to be absent at crucial moments. This has forced Carlo Ancelotti to reorganize his defense on multiple occasions.
The lack of available players in the defense has created uncertainty in many matches. Even so, the white team has found unexpected solutions. Those who weren't expected to have a leading role have ended up being key in Ancelotti's plans.
Real Madrid struggles in defense
Carlo Ancelotti has had to resort to unusual alternatives. With almost the entire defensive line going through the infirmary, the options have been drastically reduced. The situation seemed to open an opportunity for those who had been waiting for their moment for a long time.
However, not everyone has been considered to reinforce the rear. Ancelotti has chosen to try different variants rather than trust certain names. Despite the need, there are those who don't fit into his plans and have been completely relegated.
Carlo Ancelotti makes a firm decision with Jesús Vallejo
Jesús Vallejo was one who could have benefited from this situation. With Real Madrid short-handed, he could have had important minutes. However, Carlo Ancelotti has made it clear that he doesn't count on him and that his role will remain marginal.
The central defender has seen others get opportunities before him. Despite being available, he hasn't entered any rotation. This lack of trust has been decisive and leaves his future sealed for the summer market.
Jesús Vallejo, Ancelotti's last option
Even youth players have been used before Vallejo. Names like Raúl Asencio or Jacobo have had minutes in key matches. This shows that Ancelotti prefers to bet on inexperienced young players rather than resort to the defender.
With this outlook, his departure from Real Madrid is inevitable. There is no place for him in Ancelotti's plans and the outcome seems clear. Vallejo will have to seek a new destination where he can regain confidence and feel important again.
A farewell anticipated in the summer market
Jesús Vallejo's time at Real Madrid seems to have come to an end. He hasn't managed to earn anyone's trust or find his place. With his departure practically decided, the summer will mark the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
Ancelotti has been clear in his stance and there will be no turning back. Real Madrid will continue its path without him, betting on other names. His farewell is only a matter of time and his future, still uncertain, will depend on the opportunities that arise in the market.
