The positive in Covid-19 of Mariano Díaz (26 years old) has flooded all the media in a very short time. From one moment to the next, a player who, on a day-to-day basis, is not usually very mediatic due to his limited participation in the team, has taken over the digital covers and has been the subject of international news. Also in England, Real Madrid's next destination, where the novelty has caused a great stir.
Fortunately for everyone, especially the Hispanic-Dominican, Mariano is in perfect condition and that is the most important thing, without a doubt. But this setback continues to be another unfortunate circumstance than adding to the list of a player who, throughout the year, has been working to carve out a niche for himself in the team and has always encountered stones that have obstructed his path.
End of cycle?
A path that, on the other hand, may not be linked to Real Madrid if it ends up leaving the club this summer due to lack of minutes.
And it is that, the low participation he has had, has led him to continue working in the shade waiting for his opportunity. Injuries, some of long duration, have weighed him down in such a way that until March he could not even make his debut in the League. Of course, when he did – before Barça – he was able to score a goal in the only two minutes he had on the pitch.
It is also true that the opportunities that Zidane has given him have been droppers and that, although he has instilled the discipline of work above all, the Frenchman has not given him the keys to the front only when he did not there is another alternative.
One of the few joys was his goal at Barça
And now, when he was again present for Zidane and when the team had a game in front in which the goal was more than necessary, Mariano is affected by the disease and will not be able to help by having to pass the mandatory quarantine .
Without a doubt, a new blow to the stage of a player at Real Madrid who is unable to demonstrate, for one reason or another, why he is capable of wearing white.
