The reporter reported coldly The direct cause of this phase crisis of the Galactic Fleet is that Ancelotti broke the formation and team that Real Madrid relied on for success last season in order to accommodate Mbappe. At the same time, Mbappe's arrival in the team also upset the balance in the Real Madrid dressing room.

After Benzema's departure, the arrival of Mbappe has rediscovered the core of the French-speaking department in the Real Madrid team, competing with the South American team led by Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde. Real Madrid's native faction, which originally occupied a special position in the dressing room of the Galactic Fleet, was unable to play the balance it should have in the past.

With the departure of Nacho this summer and Carvajal's serious injury, there are not only few main players in the Real Madrid team, let alone stalwarts like Hierro and Ramos, but naturally there is no core in the dressing room with the right to speak. Moreover, the natural rivalry between Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Bellingham for the Ballon d'Or is also affecting the atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room. In addition to the changes in technical tactics and personnel, Real Madrid needs to find a new local leader in order to become a champion team again.

There is a lack of homegrown leaders and an imbalance in the dressing room

The Galaxy Fleet suffered back-to-back home defeats to Barcelona and Milan, completely exposing the team's problems to the media and the public. Although the Real Madrid hierarchy and coaching staff held a timely crisis meeting, the dressing room was still full of undercurrents. Mbappe's team revealed its dissatisfaction with Ancelotti's tactical arrangement through the media, and Tchouameni also indirectly expressed the view that the current team has too many attacking players, destroying the balance of attack and defense. As the Spanish media put it, when a dressing room like Real Madrid expresses its displeasure to the outside world, it proves that the Real Madrid dressing room is no longer as united as it was last season.
The Spanish media are keenly aware of the imbalance in the dressing room. Recently, the Spanish media has been building momentum for Real Madrid's new descendant leader, hoping that the new leader recognized by the media and fans can lead the team back to a stable balance.

The Galactic Fleet had reached three peaks before, and Real Madrid had enough charismatic and authoritative local leaders to play a vital balancing role not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room. The first phase of the Galaxy Fleet era has Hierro and Raul, the second phase of the Galaxy Fleet has Ramos and Casillas, the last two Real Madrid won the Champions League, and the team also has the descendants Carvajal and Nacho.

But now that Real Madrid have become a veritable 'galactic fleet', with big-name foreign players taking almost all the starting positions, Carvajal and Vazquez have struggled to start with injuries to local players, and even harder to be leaders in the dressing room. Carvajal's serious injury, combined with his age over 30 and the constraints of his tactical position, will make it difficult for him to continue to play his desired role at Real Madrid.

Of course, the Spanish media also put forward a candidate, and Uruguayan midfielder Valverde, who joined Real Madrid's B team from Penarol at the age of 18 and has been with Real Madrid for 8 seasons, is the first choice.

However, Valverde is not a Spaniard after all, and he does not have the "blood" of Real Madrid's direct players, and the media campaign itself is difficult for some strongmen. Real Madrid have been rumoured to be interested in signing Manchester City midfielder Rodri this summer, who is considered by the media to be a natural candidate for Real Madrid's future homegrown leader. However, on the one hand, it is extremely difficult to trade, and on the other hand, Rodri is not from the Real Madrid line, and his personality has always been low-key, so he is not a natural candidate for the leader of the dressing room.

Although the success rate of Real Madrid's youth academy is also very high in Spain, in recent years, the Galaxy Fleet has rarely paid attention to supporting the players of the lineage. The buy-back of Carvajal 11 years ago was the latest effort by Real Madrid to build a local lineage, and since then, Real Madrid's buy-back or promotion of lineage players have almost invariably been either sold for cash or sit on the bench and wait for the right moment.

For Real Madrid, it is imperative to find a local leader as soon as possible, restore balance in the dressing room and continue the tradition of a successful Real Madrid team.

Ramos is hard to come back to, and even harder to replicate

When discussing the issue of Real Madrid, Spain's Radio 6 deliberately emphasized Ramos, who is currently free. The former Real Madrid captain believes that in addition to filling the void plagued by injuries in the Real Madrid defence, he is also the leader of the team that Real Madrid needs the most, and can bring young stars back together. But Ramos has too much grudge with Real Madrid to turn back.

Ramos offers a new way of thinking about Real Madrid's search for a homegrown leader, a Sevilla native who is not from Real Madrid but who has served long enough and has the temperament to be a homegrown leader. It's just that at present, there are very few homegrown candidates who can be bought by Real Madrid and become Ramos' second.

In the past, Real Madrid President Perez also had a clear "Zidane + Pavon" strategy, deliberately reserving the main position of local descendants for the first team. Today, Perez prefers to look for semi-finished players from the Brazilian and South American markets, as have Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Militão and Endrick. These are semi-finished foreign players with a higher probability of becoming superstars, squeezing more first-team space for Real Madrid's local descendants. Asensio, Bayejo, etc., who were repurchased by Real Madrid one after another, could only sit on the bench in the end.

Compared to the introverted Rodri, the player who is closer to Ramos in temperament is the Moroccan defender Achraf of Grand Paris. He was born in Real Madrid's youth academy, but was sold by Real Madrid to cash out. Achraf can play in any position in the defence and is a good friend of Kylian Mbappe in Paris. If he returns to Real Madrid, he can become a link of exchange between Real Madrid's descendants, the French department led by Mbappe and the Latin family led by Vinicius. Achraf's tough personality also allows him to become a team leader like Sergio Ramos. It's just that at least for now, the Real Madrid hierarchy has no plans to buy back Achraf for the time being.

In the context of the inability to cultivate new local descendants in the short term, and the inability to immediately acquire mature Spanish players, Valverde, who is worth 100 million euros and has been with Real Madrid for a long time, is naturally a more suitable candidate for the new leader of Real Madrid for the time being. However, it is still unclear whether Valverde will be recognized by the Real Madrid dressing room. After all, his age and experience are similar to Mbappe and Vinicius, and it is difficult to convince the public. And this season, Valverde himself has struggled with his new system. Recently, he has been in an ambiguous position from the middle of midfield to wide and then to right-back, which shows both the versatility of the player and the fact that he has not yet been given his exclusive place under the new system.
