As the 2021-22 season draws closer, Real Madrid is preparing its squad for the upcoming campaign with a focus on energy conservation and rotation strategies. The club has announced that it will be rotating the midfield position between Christian Eriksen and James Rodríguez in order to save energy for the team's European competitions.
The decision to rotate the midfield position comes after Real Madrid struggled to find a suitable replacement for Casemiro, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. With the return of the injured Marco Asensio, Real Madrid has faced a shortage of midfielders, which has led to a lack of creativity and attacking options.
To address this issue, Real Madrid has decided to rotate the midfield position between Eriksen and Rodríguez, hoping to create more opportunities for both players while also conserving energy for the team's European competitions. This strategy will allow the club to maintain its attacking prowess without putting too much strain on any one player.
In addition to the rotation of midfield positions, Real Madrid is also expected to make changes to its defense as well. The club has confirmed that it will be making some defensive signings ahead of the new season, including the acquisition of experienced defenders such as Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane.
With these changes in place, Real Madrid is set to have a strong squad heading into the 2021-22 season. By rotating its midfield and defense, the club hopes to conserve energy for its key European competitions while still maintaining its attacking prowess.
