Carlo Ancelotti has not often searched to use the players in the Real Madrid Academy, unless absolutely necessary, although he still has plans for them. A LA Fabrica -talent in particular where he has very high expectations is goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez.
In the last 12-18 months, Fran has regularly been in and around the Real Madrid First Team Squad as goalkeeper of the third choice. He has also been regularly called up for Champions League matches, although he does not yet have to make his debut for Los Blancos in every competition, and it will probably stay that way for a while because he is not considered at the required level – still.
Nevertheless, Ancelotti Fran appreciates, to the point that he sees him as Courtois' successor in a few years, although it is unlikely that he is a Real Madrid head coach when that time comes.
The image of Ancelotti, however, is not shared by Real Madrid Castilla head coach Raul Gonzalez, who has deposited the teenager in recent weeks, according to Marca.
Raul, who is expected to leave his position as head coach of Castilla at the end of the season, dropped Fran from the starting line-up in December and he has not returned since then. Diego Pineiro has since been the starter, with Mario de Luis his understudy.
Ancelotti is not happy with Raul's decision to no longer count on Fran. According to the report, the Italian was informed on Saturday morning that the young goalkeeper would not start again for Castilla, and when he heard this, he decided to pull him out of the team for the match against Alcorcon, and instead he was added on the list With players for the La Liga collision of the first team against Girona.
