Alvaro Carreras’s inclusion seems to be a fait accompli, which leaves us with an important tactical question

Is Alonso going to use him as a wingback and fullback,

or is he going to use him as a third defender in a 3-5-2?

According to Carreras’ abilities and technique, the second option makes the most sense. Why?

Wingback and fullback need a player with verticality and speed.

Not to mention Nuno Mendes, Theo Hernandez and Alfonso Davies. You can look at Ferran Garcia for example

Carreras is a player with more physicality and defensive solidity.

I can see him being used more as a left back.

If Real Madrid brought him in to play in the same position as Ferran Garcia,

it would be one of Real Madrid’s stupidest signings.

Because Carreras has no verticality or speed, and it’s hard to rely on him as a key player.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid and Benfica have reached an official agreement for left-back Alvaro Carreras and the deal will be finalized after the FIFA World Cup!

Carreras is great at constructing plays, passing forward,

carrying the ball for long distances, intercepting passing lanes by anticipating the ball,

but in the final third he is not creative and Alonso will probably play him as a left back with Hoesen and Asensio.

The problem is that Carreras was already playing for

Real Madrid when he was 14 years old, but because they preferred Miguel Gutierrez and Fran Garcia,

he decided to leave and go to Manchester United.

Now Real Madrid will bring them back and will pay no less than 50 million euros.

They could have paid more for a defender like Schlotterbeck and kept Carreras in the first place.

Real Madrid’s next deal and one can’t believe that Perez is finally spending on defenders!
