Real Madrid: Militao makes Ramos and Varane forget in defense
Militao who little by little has been gaining his place in the starting eleven of Real Madrid, a man raised in São Paulo and who four years ago was promoted to the first team of his land, and a season later he would become one of the most important of Porto.
However, now Militao is one of the defenders of Real Madrid and one of the most outstanding in those positions, quickly making Varane and Ramos forget, who were two impassable gunners in the white defense.
Militao's start at Madrid has not been easy at all, but everything seems to indicate that Ancelotti's perseverance, work and confidence has helped him to be among one of the best in the club right now. A job of recovery of players that should be highlighted Carlos Ancelotti.
The beginning of Militao in Madrid
Everything seemed to be going faster than expected, but at the white club he had to spend nineteen months at the bottom to be able to shine again. Without a doubt, it was a very tough stage for the player, where he received a lot of criticism and ridicule, so much that his nickname was "Limitao".
Simply Militao could not demonstrate all his quality of play because so many mistakes made him lose confidence in himself. Being able to endure media harassment at the club is not an easy tare. In addition, we must add Zidane's lack of confidence in him.
The fact of having to play isolated matches and surrounded by substitutes like the Frenchman made him pay a very high price in his career. His opportunity came to the final injury of Sergio Ramos, which gave him an opportunity in March to return to continuity.
The good moment of the Brazilian has made Florentino place a price of 100 million euros in case of selling it, but it has been pointed out that the White House does not intend to put him up for sale. Real Madrid have gotten a new boss in defense.
This is how Militao managed to win the title after 16 games, alongside Varane and Nacho, this before the arrival of Carlos Ancelotti, who has been fundamental for his stage of consecration.
Right now, Militao forms with Alaba in the center of the defense a great barrier, which has quickly made Ramos and Varane forget.
Militao is going through his best moment at Real Madrid
To seal this good moment, he has made an unforgettable match in Anoeta, where he has shown his progression at the highest point, he has managed to cut four clear plays of goal from Real Sociedad and has created two dangerous actions in counterattacks originated by the speed pointing you out.
Right now Militao has become a regular starter for Ancelotti's scheme, who has played 20 of Real Madrid's 21 games so far, where the Italian coach gave him a break against Granada after returning from matches with the Brazilian team.
So far it is only Courtois who surpasses him in minute, the white goalkeeper has played every minute of the season so far.
Since last March he has accumulated 36 games, while in the previous 18 months he had only played 25 games.
This is how his present in Madrid has changed him a lot, so much so that he is nicknamed as the colossus in flames, pure fire in each of the fights with the ball.
Militao is considered one of the best in the world by Real Madrid
A laugh with irony on the part of Real Madrid could be noticed at the moment that Militao is not among the five best centrals in the world in international awards.
If there is one thing that is clear, it is that Militao is not a media footballer and does not have behind the advertising cache that supports many players in the battle for these individual awards.
But if there is something clear, it is that if Florentino Pérez sells him, he would do so for a value of 100 million euros, as has been pointed out by the White House, but clearly it is not for sale for the club.
Right now Real Madrid has managed to become a boss in the defensive part of only 23 years, so it can have a defense for a decade.
From the sports entity they have pointed out the following: "The one in San Sebastián has not been the best game at Real Madrid, it has had many others at the same level."
The white entity signed Alaba as the substitute for Ramos, and now he has found the great moment of Militao.
So from the first day they have managed to replace Ramos and Varane, this was one of the biggest concerns of the white team when they were left without their two great centrals.
Those closest to Militao have ensured that the player lives a life totally dedicated to football, sleeps many hours and constantly watches over his diet in order to be faster than he already is.
He clearly wants to succeed at Real Madrid and make history at the club.
Casemiro has become his main example of dedication. That is why in each training or match his delivery is total. Complying with the Brazilian saying of working like a European because to succeed you have to be like that.
He currently has a contract until 2025 and the result of his performance that continues to grow has made the club think about renewing him for two more years, which would be until 2027, as well as making a significant improvement in his salary.
PSG has shown interest, so Real Madrid is preparing to raise its clause from 500 million to one billion.
