Last night, on Cadena Ser’s El Larguero show, Tomás Roncero spoke about Brahim after the Real Madrid player’s great performance against Atlético de Madrid, and explained why he should be a starter
« Brahim should be a starter at Real Madrid. He sacrifices himself, goes down, defends, recovers and scores. « He is the example, along with Valverde, of what an elite player should be at Madrid, » Tomás Roncero said on El Larguero.
This was after the Malaga native’s fantastic performance against Atlético de Madrid, scoring an impressive goal to give his team the victory and go into the return leg at the Civitas Metropolitano with an advantage.
Roncero says Brahim should start, so he defends, sacrifices, recovers and scores
Real Madrid have a minimal advantage after their 2-1 win at the Bernabéu, but they know better than anyone how to handle these kinds of life-and-death matches, and that advantage gained in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Los Colchoneros could be enough.
As Roncero said, Brahim put on a complete display of football yesterday. Not only was he decisive in the score with a goal full of individual talent, but he defended like no other, put on a physical display that left him with cramps at the end of the match, and showed that he is more than capable of starting for Real Madrid.
The brutal competition within the squad prevents Brahim from being an undisputed starter
The problem for the former AC Milan player is the great competition he has in the positions where he can play. On the right, Rodrygo, in attacking midfield, Jude Bellingham, on the left, Vinicius.
It seems very difficult that, given the performance of the Real Madrid ’11’, he could give up his place in the starting eleven to Brahim.
The Englishman and Vinicius Jr are indisputable for Ancelotti, they cannot be touched. Although he is not a regular starter in the starting eleven, the Moroccan national team player always offers a very high level of performance and has a versatility that allows him to always be the substitute for several players, which gives him many more options to accumulate minutes throughout the season.
Whether he is a starter or not, he is a very important player for Real Madrid.
