The Brazilian right-back has not had the best of times at Real Madrid, but there have been encouraging signs in pre-season. Although Dani Carvajal is undoubtedly the number 1 choice for the right-back position, Danilo might give Zidane a pleasant headache if he puts in some solid displays if and when he gets the chance.

Danilo’s main strength is his attacking contribution and he had an extremely high pass percentage of 88% last season. In pre-season, he also showed that he was capable of the spectacular when he scored an absolute thunderbolt against Bayern Munich from more than 30 yards out.

Danilo’s main problem is his positioning skills, but with sufficient hard work and training, the Brazilian footballer might surprise his critics with some solid performances this season. Also, Madrid will need to rotate their squad well to cope with the added demands of the FIFA Club World Cup and Danilo will need to take his opportunity when it arrives.
