Recently, Ass talked about the diversity of Carreras's match against Levante in Real Madrid, and they said that the players still performed well in the centre-back position.
Carreras has become Real Madrid's most influential signing. In the game with Levante, Carreras changed to play as a central defender in Alonso's tactical adjustment, and his performance was eye-catching. Not only did he perform well on the defensive end, he also demonstrated excellent ball-handling and passing skills.
Carreras' performance in defense even surpassed Mendy, who has completed 49 steals this season (14 against Levante, setting a new record for Real Madrid this season) and is the team's second most interceptions, second only to Joan Ammeni. In addition, he won 31 offensive and defensive confrontations.
Carreras's continuous performance and wide coverage have been highly praised by the club, and his physical fitness and endurance are also highly valued by the team. Although he only had the last eight minutes off against Levante, it was more about giving Alaba some play time than because Carreras needed a break.
Carreras' versatility was noticed by the technical team as early as when he joined. Alonso had hinted about this. After learning that Rudiger was seriously injured, he said: "I pay great attention to the youth training camp, but we also have players who can compete for that position, such as Alaba, Raul Asensio, Joan Ammeni, and even Carreras." This shows that Carreras has long been considered as an alternative to the central defender in the coach's mind.
In fact, Carreras had had several experiences as a central defender during his time in Benfica. Although this is not his strong point, he has appeared in this position five times last season under Bruno Lager's leadership and performed well. In the first four games of the league and the Cup, he helped the team win, scoring 13 goals and not losing one goal, but lost to Portugal in the Cup final.
Carreras also expressed his willingness to play for the club when joining: "I will do anything for my dream club." This shows that he is not just a full-back, but also competes in other positions, including central defenders.
