“Vinicius and Rodrygo in Bilbao? They are 20 years old, not 60 like me.”He said Carlo Ancelotti at the press conference prior to this Thursday’s appointment. The Italian weighs putting in the starting eleven a Vinicius who comes from being a starter in the clash that pitted Brazil against Paraguay. The stake ended in the early hours of Tuesday to Wednesday, so the attacker will be in the Bilbao eleven without 48 hours having elapsed.

A situation that, at least from the outside, does not seem to worry his coach too much. “You have to evaluate it. We have to see it today, if the players are just tired they are going to travel. You have to see it because if they don’t start the game in eleven I may need them during the match,” he said, without confirming one hundred percent his ownership. Casemiro – who aims to start – and Rodrygo also traveled on that plane.

In another situation, Ancelotti could reserve Vini more calmly, but the fact that Benzema is still recovering from the ailments suffered in the match against Elche could mean that the Brazilian is the starter. In the white club they want to take risks with the Frenchman taking into account that the clash against PSG in the Champions It is just around the corner. That’s why, despite the minutes, the trip and the jetlag, came could be from the game. the transalpine he has his trident disassembled.
The question is to see if Ancelotti will pull Rodrygo, in a similar situation although he has played less time with Brazil, or will look for options with Asensio, Bale or Hazard. The Welshman has been exercising at a good pace in recent days. He can be an important man in this decisive stretch of the season despite the fact that he has not played for almost three months.
Several options
Asensio goes right. Hazard is fit, despite the fact that he does not finish convincing. The same as Jovic or Mariano. The first has more options, since the Hispanic-Dominican continues to evolve from his inconvenience.
It does not seem so far-fetched, therefore, that Vinicius is in the game in a key stake when seeking the second title of the course, after the Super Cup won in Rihad against Atheltic himself a few weeks ago. With Vini, Madrid is stronger and Ancelotti knows it. Hence the dilemma ahead of tonight’s game.
