Imanol He is obliged to seek immediate solutions given the injury of one of his capital players, whose absence usually creates a sporting, competitive and emotional deficiency among his teammates. The Real squad, especially with regard to their offensive front, offers many-carat alternatives to the second captain and since yesterday the coach began to work on them. For your, Barrenetxea, Merquelanz Y Carlos
Fernandez are some of the options that are on the table to cover the huge gap left by the Eibar.
Yes Imanol will opt for not disrupting his scheme, For your, Barrenetxea and even Merquelanz would represent the alternatives to Oyarzabal. The Murcian was relegated by Januzaj in the last match and the absence of the captain would reopen the door to the starting position, but on a flank in which he does not feel comfortable, which is the left, since it is understood that the coach, in this case, would keep the Belgian on the right, so as not to have to make more than one swap. With Barrenetxea or Merquelanz, the change would be more natural because both would enter their favorite demarcation, in the position of extreme left, which is the one that usually occupies the '10'. One of the problems is that, apart from the offensive contribution, is that none of the usual substitutes for the youth squad Eibar He is used to emulating his defensive performances.
There is another option, which Imanol He also wants to explode, which is to line up two born forwards together as Isak Y Carlos
Fernandez. To do this, perhaps you should change the system and place one more midfielder –Illarra, Merino, Guevara Y Silva– or anchor the Sevillian in a line of three – next to For your or Barrenetxea Y Januzaj– ahead of two pivots -Illarra and Merino for example-, leaving Isak Just above. The tablet of Imanol will be fuming
