Brahim Diaz often has to stand in the back of Real Madrid – opens a door due to the big defense problems?
With a market value of 1.27 billion euros, Real Madrid is in second place in the world’s most valuable football clubs. In addition to the big stars such as Kylian Mbappé, Jew Bellingham or Vinícius Jr.
Including Arda Güler (20) and Brahim Diaz (25). Most recently, the focus was more on Güler, who came from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023 and has had 50 games and ten goals since then. In the current season, he has only come to four goals so far. Most recently, he was celebrated against Getafe a match winner and even with a Kroos comparison.
After training at Manchester City, Brahim Diaz moved to the Spanish capital in 2019. After around a year, however, he was loaned to AC Milan. From 2020 to 2023 he played 124 games at Milan. Then he returned to Madrid, where he got different play time.
Brahim Diaz hopes for a bigger role in Real Madrid
Brahim Diaz with more influence on the game
Both offensive players have a market value of 45 million and deliver similar services this season. In addition to his four goals, Güler also delivered eight templates, Diaz has six goals and seven assists across competitions.
Overall, Diaz is significantly more integrated into the real game, got over 2,000 minutes this season and thus significantly more than Güler (around 1,400).
In general, the Moroccan wing player takes around 341 minutes to score a goal for the royal, with Güler there are 347 – both offensive players are similarly dangerous.
Extreme defense problems with Real as an opportunity?
In the top -class real offensive, there are not many opportunities for the duo – change the problems in defense something about it?
In the past few weeks, Real has announced more and more failures, including some long -term injuries.
In addition to Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who have been missing for a long time because of their cruciate ligament tears, Antonio Rüdiger has now been operated on after the Copa del Rey final. David Alaba and Ferland Mendy also fail until the end of the season.
Even Eduardo Camavinga, who has sometimes stepped in as a left -back, will be available again by a thigh injury.
Since it is quite possible that coach Carlo Ancelotti all -rounders such as Aurélien Tchouaméni or Federico Valverde in defense would be free – places in midfield – good news for Diaz, which could then be shown again.
Brahim Diaz in a “metamorphosis”
The Moroccan has already developed further this season. Spanish media and sports report that Diaz is in a “metamorphosis”.
In addition to his qualities in the dribbling, he has been able to prove in the past few weeks that he also had the quality of playmakers.
When he gets the ball, he either goes into one-on-one situations or has the eye for his free players. In his Champions League missions against Manchester City and also against Atlético Madrid, he knew how to convince as a joker and scored important goals.
In addition, he also takes the step backwards and helps in defense. His defensive values are similar to his colleague Ferland Mendy in certain points. Would Brahim Diaz even be an option for a full-back position?
Is the air out in the master end sprint?
Can Real come back in the race for the championship despite these worries? The royal five games still have to play in the league, but already seven points behind leaders FC Barcelona, who won 2-1 against Real Valladolid on Saturday.
Real has to ran against Celta Vigo on Sunday (2 p.m. in the live ticker) and wants to shorten the distance again – can Brahim Diaz also help?
