One of the images left by the Las Vegas Classic was seeing Lucas Vazquez as captain of Real Madrid. The Galician is not one of the four captains of the white team, but he played that role in the Clásico because in Ancelotti’s starting eleven, he was the player who had been with the white team the longest.
Lucas Vazquez he wore the captain’s armband only during the first half of the Clásico. In the second part, they entered Nacho and Modric, two of the captains of the white team and the armband was worn by the defender, second captain of the white team. Modric is the third, while Benzema is the first, taking over from Marcelo, and Carvajal, fourth.
Luca Vazquez he started the season playing as a right-back, something that is on its way to becoming a regular. Ancelotti considers the Galician as Carvajal’s replacement for that position on the pitch, ahead of Odriozol. Lucas Váaquez has already gotten used to playing defense. Zidane tested him in that position and since then, he has played more as a full-back than as a midfielder, which is his natural position.
