Soccer is streaks. Both on the lawn and in the infirmary. And the one that's going through the Real
Madrid during these weeks regarding injuries is, to say the least, delicate. Especially in the center of the field, where Zidane is on the brink of starvation with casualties Casemiro (Covid-19) and Fede
Valverde (fissure in the right tibial spine).
The Frenchman, who has recently subscribed to both the Brazilian and the Uruguayan, is now in an extreme situation in which he will have to design a midfield with asterisks and wishing that, after the break, the players he now has healthy and 'scattered' across the continent, meet again in Valdebebas with the ‘available’ sign under his arm. Especially Luka
Modric Y Toni
Kroos. They are the most recognizable pillars of a blackboard on which they should appear Isco Y Odegaard out of obligation rather than desire.
Unknown slate
The unknown then resides in the tactic in which it can be inspired Zidane to get along with footballers gifted with a lot of quality but with little muscle. The merengue coach has always liked the idea of playing with someone physically powerful in the center of the field. Hence the importance of the figure of Casemiro in his plans or the ‘obsession’ already reduced by Pogba during summers past.
Therefore, now he finds the impossibility of doing it and of having to give that role to footballers who do not embody it. The closest is Toni
Kroos, which has already acted as a pivot at some time.
A look at the quarry
Another solution you have Zidane And what seems to be the most successful according to current times is to “pull” from the quarry. Easy, cheap and never lacking in predisposition. In fact, the coach has already shown that the rings do not fall off and, with the injuries in defense, he has called players like Victor
Chust, Sergio
Saints or Luke
Canizares and has even made his debut Marvin or Arribas with the first team. Therefore, this is where the figure of Antonio
White, player of Castilla de Raúl and member of Real Madrid champion of the UEFA Youth League last summer that might be the solution. The Cordoba, which still lacks a cooking time (20 years) embodies the profile of the one who suffers Zidane and it would be no surprise to see him in the next match against him Villarreal.
