Madrid: Dani Ceballos is at a key point in his career with Real Madrid. The midfielder, who has often been on the sidelines, now has a great chance to show what he can do.
With injuries to teammates Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, Ceballos is getting more playing time. He is eager to keep fighting for his spot and make the most of these chances.
Recently, Ceballos has really stepped up his game. His performance against Getafe was especially noteworthy, showcasing both his stats and his influence on the match.
During that match, he completed 94 successful passes, had 110 touches, and made ten passes into the attacking area. He also succeeded in six of eight long balls, regained possession six times, and won seven out of ten duels.
Before these recent games, Ceballos had only played 78 minutes in La Liga this season. However, in the past week, he has played two full matches, taking advantage of the opportunities created by the injuries.
With Camavinga out and Tchouameni now playing a defensive role, Ceballos has become a reliable option in midfield. His rise is a sign of his determination.
Last summer, he almost left the club to find more playing time. Yet, coach Carlo Ancelotti has always praised him, valuing his mix of strength and creativity.
Ancelotti has often turned to Ceballos when the team needs midfield support, recognizing how valuable he is to the squad.
The next few weeks will be a big test for Ceballos. Real Madrid has a busy schedule ahead, including matches against Athletic Bilbao, Girona, Atalanta, Rayo Vallecano, and Sevilla, along with the Club World Cup final.
With Camavinga out and Tchouameni shifting positions, Ceballos has many chances to prove himself and show why he should stay an important part of the team.
