Can Thiago Pitarch be one of the key solutions for Real Madrid's creativity system ?

We all have seen the capabilities of the spanish youngster, but can he be actually be playing a role that madrid are suffering to find? and should he be starting some matches ahead of tchouameni ?

In my opinion and as a neutral spanish football enthusiastic, i really loved how Thiago played last season. A raw talent entering the starting 11 for Madrid, fresh and talented, even tho he did some mistakes some in the UCL and some in LaLiga i don't thing we can blame him. He was on his first season with the first squad and still trying to fit in and show what he's made of. Playing in the midfield for Real Madrid specially these recent years after Kroos and Modric should be soo hard, being criticised every match on every touch and every pass he's making should be very difficult.

This summer, he won the U-19 championship having 5 assists in 5 games, + Yesterday he played with the SUB-20 in a friendly vs Mexico and scored the first goal, in a match that ended 2-0 for spain. He still hadn't had a minute this season with Madrid, he was injured in his first trainig session for 6-8 weeks for a medial collateral ligament in the knee, and got registered in Castilla so he can gain fitness and come back to the first team selection. However, we can see that he's on the bench in the last 3 LaLiga games so i think he's will come back soon to play under Mourinho who didn't want his transfer to Fulham in the past transfer window after Arbeloa's interest in the player obviously like he was interested in basically every Real Madrid rising players lol.

What do i think about him starting in the future for Real Madrid ? In my opinion, he's a player that stats doesn't define him. If u watched this guy playing last season u will see from his first minutes that he is the real deal. Other than him being spanish and that gives him +50% midfield talent, he's from La Fábrica and thats really important. We have seen a lack of players that comes from the academy and actually stays in the team, everyone is getting solde like Garcia and Palacios this past transfer window for huge money. He's one of the rare players to actually be a season starter for the first team, but the team's unstainability, changing multiple coaches, the team itself and the enviroment around it being bad also is affecting the player.

I think he should be getting minutes after his full recovery. He should be playing and starting for Tchouameni. Madrid are lacking creativity so much that we are not seeing passes from their midfield. We are looking at a 62% approx. completed passes per 90 passes, and an average of 55% posession /match + Arda Guler being the most creative player in the team but the thing is that he's the attacking midfield. Tchouameni isn't giving any linking passes from the defense for the final third, and Valverde isn't a midfielder in my opinion and he should be playing on the right. We can see the team getting some air to breath when Bernardo Silva is coming out of the bench and that's a clear indicator what the team is missing : A CREATIVE MIDFIELDER, and Thiago with the development needed can fill that role easily without Florentino Perez buying a 150M midfielder.

So what do you think of this analysis? Do you think Thiago Pitarch could be having a future at the team or will he not be utilized and get solde in the future ?
