SQUAD DEPTH AT MADRID
I saw Real Madrid fans worrying about the playing time of players like Brahim, with the arrival of Endrick and Mbappe. When watch Brahim playing it is valid concern to have. But we have to look at this issue in two perspectives.
One, the club's perspective.
They need world class players and backups in every positions. This because of numerous reasons.
If you take any world class team, you can see there were quality players as backups. This is more important in the current context because number of matches are increasing and number of injuries are also increasing. Players need proper rest. So we need a solid B team to plot.
For a manager, it is important to have quality players on the bench because it gives them tactical flexibility and more confidence. They can change the plan completely during the game, which is important against unpredictable teams such as Man City. Also it gives more option to rotate, that reduces the risk of injuries.
Now in a player's perspective, yes, they need to play every week. But that is not guaranteed in any of the top clubs unless you are that special. And think about it, you are in the best club itw and everything else will be a downgrade for you. You have absolutely no "better options" to move to. And also, to be the best, you have to compete against the best. Only players with such mentality can survive here. If you are not that type, you are not supposed to stay here. It is as simple as that.
If you show that courage to fight and earn your place, you will survive here and this will be a heaven for you.

sure, 100% right ☺️☺️☺️
100% right, you are a true madridista, in addition, Ancelotti is capable of playing 11 goal keepers the whole season and still win LALIGA, so I don't worry much
