Real Madrid new signing has Ancelotti’s backing, will have a key role this season

There are still many unanswered questions about Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid setup heading into the new season.

With new faces, a new formation and seemingly a new balance in the squad, the pressure is on the manager to make things work.

The tour to the USA gave the world its first look at the new Real Madrid setup and an analysis of its potential strong and weak points.

The men in white head back to Madrid with many learnings but also an equal set of positives to take away.

According to reports from Mario Cortegana (h/t Madrid Xtra), Jude Bellingham is one such positive factor in Ancelotti’s plans.

The youngster made a great first impression at the Valdebebas even before the team flew to America and backed it up with high-quality performances on the tour.

The new signing has Ancelotti’s full backing and will play a key role no matter what the set-up or formation next season.

Earlier this month, word had it that the Italian tactician had two players with a firm foot in his starting lineup.

The first name on the roster is Bellingham, for his performances in the attacking midfield role place him well to start regularly at the apex of the diamond.

The other player with a guaranteed spot in the manager’s XI is Eduardo Camavinga. The French prodigy is still riding on the momentum that saw his rapid ascent last season and is set to play more minutes in midfield this term.
