As: Real Madrid hopes that Joan Martinez can integrate into the first team and become the team s sixth central defender

June 15 According to the Ass, Real Madrid hopes that Joan Martinez can gradually integrate into the first team in the new season, thus becoming the sixth central defender for Alonso to choose.

Last season, the central defender problem has been a headache for Ancelotti. At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid had only two healthy centre-backs (Militon and Rudiger), with Joan Armeni as a substitute.

With the emergence of injuries, Raul Asensio was promoted and performed well, and Jacob Ramon also had some opportunities, but the reviews were mixed. In the Club World Cup, not everyone can play 100%, but for next season, Real Madrid has clearly defined that it needs to strengthen its defense line: Arnold will join the right-back position, A Fee, who is negotiating, serves as the left-back, and Wysen has been introduced to the central defender position.

Currently, Real Madrid's central defenders include Militon, Rudiger, Raul Asensio, Wyson and Alaba. Although there are already five players, the club hopes to actually have six centre-backs, especially if Alonso decides to change the formation and adopt a three-center-back system.

The sixth man is Joan Martinez, who is the best defensive star in Real Madrid's youth training camp. Despite missing the entire season with a torn cruciate ligament, he showed excellent form in the preseason in the United States.

In the short term, Jacob Ramon may get more draft opportunities due to rhythm issues. Joan Martinez will return after a full blank season, especially at his age (under 18), and the recovery process is very complicated. The club is not in a hurry to achieve success, and his short-term goal is to win game time in Castia, coached by Aveloa. However, he will often train with the first team and be seen as a member of the team and may even be the fifth centre-back.
