The time has come for Fortea!

In difficulty defensively since the start of the season, Real Madrid could turn to Cantera to alleviate this problem.

Seven goals conceded in four Champions League matches, eleven goals conceded in eleven La Liga matches, nine in their last three home matches… Real Madrid have a crumbly defense this season and in particular a right corridor which is a boulevard for opposing attacks.

Indeed, since the injury to Dani Carvajal, it is clear that Lucas Vazquez is in distress defensively on his right flank and this is a problem in the merengue eleven even if he is not the only one responsible for the defensive rout of Real Madrid match after match.

And to replace Carvajal at the right back position, another solution presents itself to Carlo Ancelotti in the person of Jesús Fortea (17 years old), right back who plays with Alvaro Arbeloa's Juvenil A. He was notably decisive in his team's Youth League victory against AC Milan (2-1) with an assist and a penalty goal.

He is a very offensive, technical, hard-hitting right defender with a good vision of the game. His profile appeals to Carlo Ancelotti who has included him in the professional group in recent weeks at Valdebebas and could well call him up for the reception of 'Osasuna this weekend.

It is therefore not impossible that in two days, we will see the young Fortea playing his first minutes in white with the A at the right back position, as Lucas Vazquez's performances have been catastrophic for several weeks. Even if it is not Carletto's habit to throw a youngster from La Cantera into the deep end during the season, the unprecedented situation of sporting crisis could this time push the Italian to try new things.
