"Real" Madrid coach Santiago Solari wants to assemble a team where the most experienced players are not comfortable in their positions. Recently, the team's vice-captain Marcelo has realized this, as he has been pushed out of the starting position by the excellent performance of the club's young player Sergio Reguilon. The Brazilian did not play in the last two "La Liga" matches. S. Solari says that all players need to know they can be in the eleventh or lose their starting position. "Marcelo loves this club and has proven it many times. I always enjoy watching his dedication and work in training, as all these things are very important. My task is to choose the lineup for each match, which is always the hardest part. "What we discuss with Marcelo is private. Competition in the team is healthy and one of the most important things in football. All players need to feel they have a chance to play, as well as lose their place in the starting lineup," explained S. Solari. Marcelo should play on Thursday, when Real Madrid will face "Girona" in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup. With S. Solari taking control of the team, players like Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente, and the mentioned S. Reguilon are getting more playing time.
