Real Madrid Finally Choose Dani Carvajal’s Replacement

Real Madrid has made it clear that Lucas Vázquez from Galicia will step in for the injured Dani Carvajal this season. The club has decided against searching for a new player in the market.

Decision made: Lucas Vázquez will replace the injured Dani Carvajal for the remainder of the season. After holding various talks, the board and coaching staff of Real Madrid have ruled out the possibility of going to the market in search of a new full-back and have decided that it will be the Galician who must take on the challenge of defending the right flank of the defence.

The club has full confidence in the performance of a footballer who has accepted his role as a regular substitute with absolute professionalism and who, in addition, has offered a more than notable performance every time he has appeared on the pitch. “Lucas Vázquez has earned this chance. He may have ups and downs, but he deserves this opportunity. This is the consensus among the top officials at Chamartín,” states the newspaper As.

Experience

Over the years, Vázquez has played more than it might appear, giving him ample experience to take on this responsibility confidently. So far, he has played 351 matches in the white jersey, with 114 of those as a right wing-back. He is also highly regarded in the locker room, as evidenced by his position as the third captain this season, following Luka Modric and the aforementioned Carvajal.

Ultimately, it will be Vázquez’s performance in the upcoming weeks and the team’s results that will determine the outcome. As noted by the newspaper Marca today, a string of poor results could lead those at Chamartín to reconsider their options and potentially seek a new full-back in January.
