Real Madrid’s Jose Mourinho is poised to pair Ricardo Carvalho with compatriot Pepe in central defence while Sergio Ramos will reclaim his right-back duties.
Spanish international, Sergio Ramos, will retake his responsibilities on the right flank for Real Madrid as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-Carvalho-c30973 returns to first team action. Jose Mourinho will have the flexibility he craves in the centre of defence as the
return of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man opens alternatives for the Portuguese mentor.
Ramos will be the undisputed starter on the right wing, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 for a starting place in Los Blancos’ starting
eleven.
Ever since Carvalho was ruled out because of a back strain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 was forced to occupy the centre-back role. However, with alternatives in the form of Alvaro Arbeloa and Raphael Varane, the Spanish Giants had plenty of defensive
options.
During his four-month spell as a centre-back, the former Sevilla player showed versatility and technical ability to take on the alien responsibilities to perfection.
Sergio Ramos has been one of the pillars of Real Madrid’s great run of wins in all competitions. Los Blancos registered a record of 15-match winning streak in all competitions, while their record in La Liga stands at 15 wins from their
last 17 matches.
With Carvalho returning to the first team fold, Mourinho’s worries on the right flank come to an end. The Portuguese coach is less than impressed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282 and was seeking to add young Brazilian stopper, Mario Fernandes, to his
first-team roster.
Mourinho continuously tested players in the right-back role and he has already utilized Arbeloa, Coentrao, Lassana Diarra and Altintop so far this season. With a large squad and many variations, the concerns of the coach have yet to be
answered.
Each player Mourinho tested has a different profile but no one was able to make the starting berth his own.
With the winter transfer window concluding, Ramos is set to return in his natural position at Santiago Bernabeu.
