Real Madrid, delighted with the improvement of their defense after an unstable start to their career at the Bernabéu

Carlo Ancelotti has been forced to rely on several Real Madrid secondary players in recent weeks as their injuries continue to have a major impact on his national teams. One of the beneficiaries has been left back Fran García, who already has a streak of 5 starts in 7 games.

That is due to a muscle injury to Ferland Mendy, but whereas previously the Frenchman’s absence meant a shaky performance for Garcia, the 24-year-old Castilla product is starting to find his feet. According to Marca, the advice from the coaching staff is beginning to be seen in their game, and they no longer have concerns about using it.

In recent weeks, García has begun to advance as he did at Rayo Vallecano, without fearing his own mistakes or risks. Now he shows much more aggressiveness when defending and winning his duels with his rival. His team has been working hard with him in recent weeks to make Garcia see that he must take advantage of opportunities with both hands and do what he can in every game, something that has made his game take a step forward.

With Los Blancos potentially taking a step back in their pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, Garcia may find himself with extra time to establish himself at his hometown club. If they lose Davies, it seems likely they will opt for another option there, but given Garcia’s improvement, it’s not unthinkable that it could be the aging Frenchman. However, Bournemouth is closely monitoring his situation.
