Ancelotti comes up with a surprising idea for Ruediger's position
2022-07-28 21:14MADRID -- Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has appointed a new position for new defender Antonio Ruedieger. The player will perform different tasks from his previous role with his previous club.
"I really like Ruediger. I'm not crazy and he is very smart to play that role," Ancelotti told the Daily Mail reported by Sportskeeda , Wednesday (27/7/2022).
Ruediger's initial debut with Los Merengues, Madrid's nickname, was actually not too good. The reason, El Real lost 0-1 to eternal rivals Barcelona in the pre-season match.
Ruediger seemed to surprise many people because Ancelotti played him at left-back. A position that is certainly not quite familiar to the 29-year-old player.
"Ruediger can play in that position, just as he can also take turns in Alaba's position. It's going well," continued Don Carletto.
Furthermore, the Italian allenatore explained why he didn't want to put Ruediger at left-back because Ancelotti didn't want to spoil or replace Los Blancos' previous centre-back duo, Eder Militao and David Alaba.
Ancelotti's decision is quite reasonable considering that the Eder duo Alaba also managed to present two prestigious titles in El Real's journey, the 2021/2022 Champions League, and the 2021/2022 Spanish LaLiga.
"Both, Ruediger-Alaba can switch positions if needed. I don't want to change partners from last year," said Ancelotti.
Ruediger arrived at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu earlier this summer as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with London side Chelsea.
The German defender has impressed during his time at Stamford Bridge Stadium, especially under Blues coach Thomas Tuchel. Making 78 appearances he also played an important role in the success of winning the Champions League for the London Blue in 2021.
