5 things we learnt from Real Madrid’s pre-season tour

#2 The club’s focus on Castilla is paying off

Los Blancos have started using Castilla very efficiently and the dividends of it are already visible

Real Madrid currently have as many as 8 players in the first-team squad who either came through the ranks or played for Real Madrid Castilla.

The Santiago Bernabeu outfit have witnessed a huge shift in their transfer strategy under Zinedine Zidane, with the focus no longer on the signing of Galacticos, instead, more importance is given to players who are required to improve the squad.

Los Blancos have also started using Castilla very efficiently and the dividends of it are already visible and it is only going to improve from here.
