Asensio props struggling madrid

The struggles of Real Madrid's defense under Carlo Ancelotti!

Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Nacho Fernandez have all had their share of struggles this season, but one player who has been particularly criticized is Eduardo Camavinga, a 20-year-old French midfielder who was signed from Rennes in the summer.

Camavinga has been playing as a left-back, a position he's not familiar with, and it's shown in his performances. He's struggled to contain opponents, and his lack of pace has been exposed on several occasions.

Another player who has been under the microscope is Ferland Mendy, who has been struggling with injuries and form. He's been replaced by Marcelo, who has been playing well, but Mendy's struggles have been a concern for Ancelotti.

As for the center-backs, Militao and Alaba have both had their moments of brilliance, but they've also made some costly mistakes. Militao has been particularly error-prone, and his lack of experience at the highest level has shown.

Nacho Fernandez, who has been playing as a right-back, has also struggled with injuries and form. He's been replaced by Dani Carvajal, who has been playing well, but Nacho's struggles have been a concern for Ancelotti.

The struggles of Real Madrid's defense have been a major factor in their poor form this season. They've conceded 22 goals in 14 La Liga games, which is their worst defensive record in over 20 years.

Ancelotti has been trying to address these issues by making changes to his defense, but it's clear that the team needs to improve defensively if they want to challenge for major honors.
