At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid set out to renew their League champion license without signings, only with sales. By then the Whites, who had formed a solid block, were confident that the return of Martin Odegaard from the Royal Society, and the stability of an injury-battered Hazard would be their most precious reinforcements.
And now, several months later, they find the same solid block and on the verge of reuniting the Belgian and the Norwegian in a call with the hope that both will return to the path of what they were.
Quality and legs at the service of the team
They are, therefore, the two signings of Zidane for this 2021. And, although this is a hackneyed cliché, the truth is that it does not lack truth because the team, locked in a scheme of, at most, 13 or 14 fixed players, it needs new faces and, above all, fresh legs.
All of this is what Hazard and Odegaard will bring to a team and fans that are still waiting for them, that despite everything have not lost their patience and that have an important trust placed in them.
