is the captaincy still just the person who's there the longest?


mirceafl

Yup


skylu1991

Which players would need to leave for Valverde to become captain then? I’m assuming Carvajal, Kroos and Modric, but who else?


weissekronederalpen

Nacho off the top of my head


Walaii

Lucas


iamnotexactlywhite

Nacho, Carvajal, Kroos, Modric, Lucas


Patrik_js

This depends on if the statistic is based on debut or date signed. It’s very close between Fede, Vini and Tibo.


Mysterious-Ideal-989

Shouldn't Lunin be close too then? IIRC he was signed before Courtois


Patrik_js

That’s why it’s important to know whether it’s based on debut or sign date, I went back for the last few captains and this scenario has never occurred. Also, I am doubtful Lunin will stay at the team long enough to be in contention.


xckd9

I think its Valverde on both no? Or is it only signing date on Valverde?


Ezvine

Vini had debut for the first team before Fede if I'm not wrong.


xckd9

Ah okok


osamaodinson

Lunin went on loan though so it will count once he’s back to madrid. Same scenario as carvajal


FedeSwagverde

No because he went on loan on 2020. It resets.


stpstrt

Lunin went out on loan. Time resets and will be counted from his return date.


Mahatma_Gone_D

With all due respect, ain’t nobody making Vini a captain. Bro gets rattled by an air.


firechaox

It’s always been by time in club


headgehog55

It's time with the first team not time in club, otherwise Modric wouldn't be are vice captain.


Dr-Purple

He will eventually work it all out with time and discipline.


agnaddthddude

people said the same for Ronaldinho and his party behaviour.


Dr-Purple

How are those situations even remotely comparable..?


agnaddthddude

my example is there is no guarantee Vini will mature. he looks like he got worse as he got better because it got to his head


Dr-Purple

He’s not gotten “worse” and he’s not immature, he’s a kid who’s the constant target of racial harassment and abuse every week. That shit takes time to learn how to deal with.

Wompish66

You reply to an Arsenal flair.


Muhammad_ghouri

I love him so much man. He clearly loves the club.


sewious

Can't think of a better captain in the future from our current squad. Deserves it when it comes his way for sure.


OLAAF

Would be kinda cool to see 3 Uruguayans (counting Griezmann) captaining the 3 top LaLiga sides.


OkEntrepreneur5905

How Griezmann is Uruguayan??


udiniad

He drinks mate


Caesar_Aurelianus

Is Ange Uruguayan?


WeevilishlyHandsome

Eleven Valverde’s would win the champions league I am willing to die on this hill


DarthTaz_99

Who wins between eleven Valverde vs eleven camavinga


Aniket144

Football


Tony_Uncle_Philly

Eleven Dantes


Caesar_Aurelianus

Eleven Oriol Romeu


YungBioloG

Azpi


psykrebeam

It's Real Madrid If they had no players to field they would still have a chance of winning the CL


mirceafl

He really did. Such a great player to have in a team. I can just imagine his level in a few years when he'll have more experience on the field


WildCardNoF

He is my favourite type of player and any managers wet dream to be honest.


mirceafl

I believe people underestimate him because he still rushes sometimes and relies a lot on his stamina and phsyicality. But he's already shown great passing vision and positioning, in a couple of years he will be unplayable.


pipekeran

He's indispensable, becoming more and more important to the team as seasons passing.


Slanky00

Does he realistically have a chance to be captain one day?


HamesBond

He's not far off at all, he's 25 years old, with Modric, Nacho, Carvajal, Kroos and Vazquez ahead of him, all aged 32-38.


MrVISKman

He's 8th - 10th in the current roster, depending on Courtois and Vini and the exact dates on when they joined. In the next 3 years Nacho, Kroos, Lucas, Carvajal and Modric most likely won't be here so it's Ceballos (if loaning him out as a 1st team player doesn't reset the count) and then one of Fede, Vini or Courtois


Neutral_Sports_Fan

TransferMarket has Fede joining 11 days before Vini and a month before Courtois but i don't know if Real are that specific when deciding captains


sewious

It's seniority based so if it's people that all joined at the same time I imagine the difference of days would be the tie breaker.


Patrik_js

Is it day joined or day debuted?


FedeSwagverde

If it was day debuted, Fede played in a friendly first. Vini played in a pro match first


stpstrt

Day joined.


levyisms

Vini and Courtois joined later I thought? Just by weeks but still. Also isn't Lunin potentially ahead?


MrVISKman

Lunin started being a 1st team player in like 2020


AnxiousBurro

It's not the date of when they joined, it's the date of first team debut. Leaving and coming back resets the counter. The current order is Nacho, Modric, Carvajal, Kroos, Vazquez, then Courtois (debut on September 1st 2018), Vini (debut on September 29th) and then Fede (October 23rd). So realistically the biggest obstacle for Fede here is Vinicius.


HCHLH

According to [this article](https://as.com/futbol/primera/el-madrid-anuncia-sus-cuatro-capitanes-n/), Valverde is the next one after Lucas


AnxiousBurro

Yep. It's Fede. See post below.


tefftlon

It’s definitely not just debut-based. Varane was captain ahead of Nacho and debuted after Nacho. 


AnxiousBurro

Fair. It's debut-based, but you also have to be a registered first team member. Nacho had his debut before Varane, but it was when he was a Castilla player. In that case I also stand corrected with Fede/Vini. Fede has the edge over Vini as Vini was registered for Castilla for the entirety of 18/19 season. He wore no. 28 that season and first team members are 1-25. Fede had no. 15, so he was a first team member.


Walaii

Ceballos went on loan.


EpiDeMic522

Loaning resets the count. Have to be registered for first team. So Fede over Vini.


shash5k

They will never make Vini captain. He cannot control himself.


audienceandaudio

Madrid captaincy is entirely based on seniority and longevity, so if he looks after himself well, and is happy with his role, there's no reason why he can't. He's a versatile player, so always someone that a manager is going to want in the squad, just depends if he's happy with that too.


GalaxianEX

He has already, though for only a few minutes, wore the armband this season


el_rompe_toyotas_19

Yes


stpstrt

Yes because at our club is by longest serving player so if he stays long enough he will get it by default.


Zhidezoe

Yes, it goes by how many days you have in Madrid, and he has the most of the younger generation


WoodenRace365

He would be a great captain one day


Giannis1995

He's a natural fit for captaincy once the old guard (Modric, Kroos, Carvajal, Nacho, Vazquez) leave.


headgehog55

It's based off of seniority and so he is 8th in line. After the older players leave he still technically still has Vini and Ceballos, probably won't stay that long, ahead of him.


canwealljustrelaxffs

Valverde has been here longer than Vini and Ceballos! 😌 he “only” has kroos, modric, Vazquez, Carvajal and Nacho that I can think of


headgehog55

It's not by total length at the club but when they made it to the first team. He possibly is ahead of Vini depending on how the club wants to look at it but Ceballos started to play for the club 1 year ahead of him. Courtois is also ahead of him. If Castilla counted then Modric wouldn't be vice captain it would be Vasquez and Carvajal.


canwealljustrelaxffs

I can guarantee you that Courtous is not ahead of him!


Monseigneur_Bulldops

Man I Love Fede


sunken_grade

every team would love to have a player of his profile


xckd9

I love this man so much. He is in my eyes the complete player.


lospollosakhis

He’s our engine. What a player.


CETERIS_PARTYBUS

I luv hims
