Real Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Real Madrid did not need a replacement striker for Karim Benzema, did he believe or lie?

Real Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti has repeatedly confirmed that his French star Karim Benzema is not in need of a replacement at Real Madrid.

This came during last summer's transfer market while Barcelona were trying to get the services of La Liga's leading scorer at the moment Robert Lewandowski.

Real Madrid were close to including France's Kylian Mbappe before the start of the transfer market, but the latter decided to renew their contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Imagine everyone at the time that Real Madrid were heading to the transfer market to find the alternative, but that didn't happen, and the support only came in the midfields and the defense.

Who can tell Ancelotti no?

Given Real Madrid's results from afar you won't find one person who can even question Ancelotti's abilities or any decision, the Royal Club has had eight meetings so far in all tournaments in the new season won them all.

The clashes were not easy, the European Super against Eintracht is the same opponent that knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League, the La Liga clubs have become as competitive as any major team in Europe, and in the Champions League they outperformed Celtic and Leipzig.

Some may say that the real test will come in the knockout rounds of the Champions League and against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in La Liga, but that is also fine. Major leagues such as La Liga, to name a few, are not only won by one game.

Did he believe Ancelotti?

The Italian coach did not lie when he stressed that Real Madrid did not need a replacement for Karim Benzema during the current season.

In his statements that followed, Ancelotti explained that he had several elements in Real Madrid who could play in the attacker's position as Benzema substitutes.

"It's not true that we have no substitute for Karim Benzema, there are many of them like Mariano, Hazard, Rodrigo, sometimes Asensio and even Modric," Ancelotti said.

Karim Benzema remains the team's top scorer and first star even in his absence, but at the same time Real Madrid's winning streak has not stopped in any way.

Benzema scored three goals from 17 shots in total, his best replacement so far is Rodigo, who scored two of seven shots with a clearly higher accuracy.

It's not just Rodrigo who has been a Benzema substitute and has been able to carry the team offensively, there is also Vinicius Junior who has started a brilliance journey since last season and others.

Relative mismatch

Sometimes at certain times the coach tried to take advantage of Eden Hazard in the spearhead position, precisely after introducing him as Benzema's replacement who was injured against Celtic in the 30th minute.

It is true that Hazard scored in that match, but when Ancelotti engaged him against Real Mallorca in La Liga in the next game, he did not produce his best form, and that was his first basic participation in over seven months and played as a mock striker and was fictitious in all sense.

Before game time arrived for the 60th minute, Ancelotti replaced the player and paid Bloka Modric instead, and in the next meeting, although his team did not score until the 80th against Leipzig did not pay him.

All this indicates that Ancelotti's statements, if true to some, even those he did not include in his choices, such as Federico Valverde, were not successful for others like Hazard.

the whole point

Valverde and Rodrigio may have succeeded in temporarily compensating for Benzema's absence, but when will you rely on this duo in a position of such sensitivity.

Fortunately, Benzema's absence is not long this time, but what if something happens and Benzema is missing longer, especially with his age, what will she do then?

You may have been partially right in the transfer market, but Real Madrid really need a Benzema replacement even if you are winning in his absence.

That happens now in front of those teams and even stronger in the season, is not guaranteed to repeat it in front of other teams that may face you differently, or even in the same form with a decline in substitute performance at the goal-scoring level that is not their primary role, and their decline will be justified and understood.
