Ancelotti plans to play a trio of Bellingham – Tchouaméni – Valverde
According to the Spanish journalist, Carlo Ancelotti play a star studed Midfield trio tomorrow. The Italian will be looking to make a better impression in the tournament as compared to LaLiga.
Indeed, Ancelotti did make mention of the fact that Bellingham and Tchouaméni had both returned, while also stating that Militão will be 100% fit for tomorrow, despite missing out on today’s training session.
According to the manager, Militão had only suffered fatigue and needed one day rest.
How the Midfield could operate tomorrow
With the return of Bellingham who suffered a muscle injury since match day 1, this Englishman would help more in attack, creating for the attackers while occupying dangerous positions where he himself can cause damage to the opposition.
Tchouaméni, would provide more defensive balance to the team, while trying to be the balance breaker for the opponents attack.
Valverde on the other hand someone who really is everywhere. He controls the entire game, in Midfield, while aiding in key defensive actions, and capitalizing long range shots in attack.
With this trio fully fit and inform, Carlo Ancelotti will feel a big load off his shoulders. The manager has had to rotate the aging Luka Modrić and young Arda, trying to cover up for the big names, and although that has paid off to some extent, it’s always good to have your starters available.
