Joe LowryPANELIST
I mean, it is a gutsy call.
Joe LowryPANELIST
I'm not saying it's the wrong call to bring off Vinicius Junior for Eder Militao, who is objectively a steadier defender when you're back in that 4-4-1 block-
Taylor RockwellHOST
Mm-hmm
Joe LowryPANELIST
... than Vini Junior.
Alex KirklandHOST
Mm
Sid LoweHOST
... and Militao came across and made this great tackle on, on Mbappe, and the place roared.
Sid LoweHOST
And you could sense that the place roared in part because they knew those are the things that are gonna catch us out.
Sid LoweHOST
And to be fair to Mourinho, that might have happened.
Derek DysonHOST
World Cup squad I think it's not just about age profile it's about club profile as well 10 players from the Brasília Real or I hope I've butchered that one but the top league in Brazil Corinthians have got three players in there already so look it's definitely about focusing on that domestic league rather than the stars and overseas as well which I suppose could be a popular move for home fans and I suppose from Ancelotti's point of view is well it didn't work you know got to try something different is clearly my strategy for the last World Cup sort of failed so abysmally home fans here in Australia again will probably be disappointed not to see Jao Pedro the Chelsea forward he won't be in Australia um he's been replaced by the uncapped Fibonacci player Martinelli not to be confused by the former Arsenal player Martinelli of course in the Saudi uh league Roma Ryback Wesley um he's also withdrawn um With Rodrigo, of course, still injured.
Derek DysonHOST
Militao not in the team.
Derek DysonHOST
So it's going to be pretty experimental, particularly in midfield.
Derek DysonHOST
You know, Guimaraes, the Arsenal player, and Douglas Luiz will provide experience.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
Another one of them is Asensio.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
Another one of them is Militao, who we know how his body is in terms of, um, his ability to, to stay healthy and the state of his knees.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
Another one of them is Thiago Pitarch.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
I'm not entirely sure how his role will be dur- during the season.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
So even if I don't include Sergio Martinez, which I don't as a first team player, the 26 is a fake number, if we're being totally honest.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
I think it's closer to 21 or 22, like real players who can get in a-- who can feature in a starting lineup.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
Like, I don't think, maybe Militao.
Lucas NavarreteHOST
The rest of them will not feature in a starting lineup for, uh, for Real Madrid this year, other than the first Copa del Rey game, uh, probably.
Julien LaurensPANELIST
...
Julien LaurensPANELIST
Camavinga, no Eder Militao.
Julien LaurensPANELIST
Tchouameni not fit to start yet, so a bit of a makeshift midfield, especially with Trent in there alongside Valverde.
Julien LaurensPANELIST
So no real defensive-minded midfielder there really.
Luca DallolioGUEST
So he knows Mourinho well.
Luca DallolioGUEST
I think with Militao's injuries as well, I think that centre-back option for me is locked down and set on him.
Luca DallolioGUEST
And I think he's going to have a really good campaign.
Luca DallolioGUEST
And he's still so young.
Lyes BouzidiGUEST
any player...
Lyes BouzidiGUEST
When you look at how, you talk about erratic, right? Real Madrid's back line last year was erratic, both in terms of performances and in terms of availability, players coming in and out of the team.
Lyes BouzidiGUEST
It's very difficult for any young player, let alone one who's just coming into the team for the first time, to almost be the one constant in a side where Militao's in and out of the team.
Lyes BouzidiGUEST
Rudiger had a drastic fall off last season.
The Global MadridistaHOST
And I think that this is going to really cost Asencio a lot.
The Global MadridistaHOST
From a sporting standpoint, this means that obviously now we're going to, you know, Militao's coming back in October.
The Global MadridistaHOST
We have Rudiger, Helsinki, and if we need to lean on players beyond that, it'll probably be Joao Martinez or Rivas.
The Global MadridistaHOST
But I don't know.
ReynosoHOST
So it's still going to be a minute until we see Chouameni on the pitch.
ReynosoHOST
Militao is out.
ReynosoHOST
Asensio is out.
ReynosoHOST
Mendy is out.
Football MatterGUEST
And they can just punish you any time of the game.
Football MatterGUEST
So if their defense, Kukurela, Militao come back and is strong, Konate continues in his impressive performance, Hosen, Dumfries and Trent, yeah, they stand a chance to compete with anything.
Jarod HectorHOST
yeah it'll be interesting my worry is um the league right um just picking up three points again and again while flick just puts 10 goals up on every team it's uh it'll be interesting to keep up but marino seems to be prioritizing the attacking dynamics to kind of he's like acknowledged it like we need these our front three to score 60 goals 70 goals if we're gonna have a chance against flick you know you can't just be reliant on one player and he's trying to build their confidence but um Competing with these possession teams with Mourinho in 2026.
Jarod HectorHOST
I know last time he was here, he got us 100 points, but look what has happened since.

They continued to press when necessary and defended resolutely when required.
speaker_0HOST
Real Sociedad pushed, but the defensive unit of Real Madrid, with Eder Militao and David Alibaba at heart, was simply too solid.
speaker_0HOST
They allowed very little space for Sociedad's attackers to operate in.
speaker_0HOST
And then, just as the game entered its final minutes, Real Madrid put the icing on the cake.
