As: The four youngsters of Zidane's youth academy did not have many opportunities to play under Carlo Ancelotti

Live bar January 6 news "As" posted about the Zidane period of the 4 youth training youngsters, last season they had a certain chance to play, this season in the Ancelotti's hands did not have many opportunities,

When Carlo Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid, the club's idea was to let the manager lower the average age of the team and achieve a younger squad, which needs to inject fresh blood into the first team from the youth team. Many of real Madrid's youngsters have already made their mark in the league, but all the young players who made their debut under Zidane last season have left sight this season.

Marvin Parker and Sergio Alibas were the first players to be eliminated from the first team, both making their debuts against Real Sociedad in September 2020. Both players had a prominent spot in Zidane's squad for the rest of the season and were used in many games, with Marvin playing 132 minutes and Alibas playing 157 minutes.

But since then, they have barely appeared on Ancelotti's squad and have not made appearances this season. Marvin has been dealing with his injuries and Alibas has struggled to find his best form, but he is vital to Raul's Castilla (Real Madrid second team) and has the opportunity to play every game.

The examples of Miguel Gutierrez and Antonio Blanco are even more striking, having played 314 minutes and 218 minutes respectively for Real Madrid last season. Before the start of the season, Real Madrid's plan was to allow both players to enter the first team. Gutierrez was supposed to compete with Marcelo for Mendy's bench position, while Blanco was seen as a substitute for the Brazilian when Casemiro needed a break. But neither player got enough playing time. Gutierrez made his last appearance for the first team at the beginning of the season on 28 September, with a knee injury limiting his chances to play in the first team.

As for Blanco, the club has been considering him joining the first team. He has played in most of Real Madrid's league games this season, but has played just 36 minutes in two games, with Ancelotti last playing in the Champions League match against Sharif on 24 November.
