At 9:00 p.m. in Alcoy, the day indicated by all Alcoyano fans begins since the Copa del Rey draw paired them with Real Madrid. “The day of the others” AS titles the preview of a match from which one of those called to be the main protagonist of it has fallen: Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian, tired of the bench, does not want to stop a progression that seemed unstoppable after his assignment to Real last year and has asked to leave. Zidane has not counted on him in recent games and that is the reason why, first, he has made such a request and, second, he is not part of the white expedition.
Some 'sacred cows' such as Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Modric were released from the trip. Therefore, products from the Factory such as Antonio Blanco or Víctor Chust could enjoy their opportunity at some point. Although everything indicates that it is time to vindicate themselves and in that bag enter the Isco, Odriozola, Marcelo, Militao, Vinicius or Mariano, in addition to a Valverde who has lost step with respect to the usual engine room and must show that he is for a lot more than the second parts.
In front, Alcoyano loses its best player, the fans, since the tremendous incidence in the area (2,400 cases per 100,000 inhabitants) has closed the doors to El Collao. The breath will come from the televisions. The José Juan, Jony Níguez and Juli, veterans of our football, will be the soul of the experience that will try to lead the rest of their teammates to the machado.
Possible eleven of Real Madrid and Alcoyano
In this way, the eleven holder that Zinedine Zidane is expected to line up is as follows, in his usual 4-3-3: Lunin; Odriozola, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo; Valverde, Casemiro, Isco; Asensio, Mariano and Vinicius.
Possible alignments of Alcoyano-Real Madrid.
While those chosen by Vicente Parras at the beginning will presumably be these, with the doubt in their disposition on the pitch between 4-4-2 or a more conservative 5-3-2: Jose Juan; Jordan, Raúl, Solbes, Carbonell; Rubio, Jony, Juanan, Juli; Jona and Mourad.
