Zidane: “Hazard is here to play”
The messages that come out of Bernabu and from Valdebebas on November 27 in the morning they were shadows. Bad looking, a real put …. The lesion of Hazard, broken the night before the PSG, already serious intua. It was also very inconvenient news for the damage to the player, just when it began to take off, and for the foreseeable impact on the team, on the way to an end of the year full of commitments, with the classic as the most important appointment. Also the Super Cup appeared in January, where the first title will be played by the whites.
On the palate there were still the good minutes that the Belgian had starred in the game against PSG, before a bad ankle turn in the second part left him KO. Luci overflow, verticality, vision of the game … A demon difficult to stop for rivals. The footballer, in short, for which he had paid Real Madrid 100 million euros in June looking for the sper star that was missing in the squad since the march of Cristiano Ronaldo.
From him the tons of goals of the Portuguese were not expected, but its capacity of intimidation and offensive vertigo. A figurn, the name called to be the franchise player. But suddenly, with Real Madrid displaying the smile of the illusion with his new intent, knock stretcher, operating room and almost three months of retirement. Tonight, the white fans see him again in his stadium. It's ready to play, announced this Saturday Zinedine Zidane, with surprising clarity in their press conferences.
Without the Belgian, his team has not fared badly, reformulated from the back, more solid than in his previous stage and, finally, leader of the League after a surprising evolution. Courtois is the least thrashed goalkeeper and Benzema fight with Messi for the Pichichi. Along the way, with Hazard absent, a title in his pocket (the Super Cup) and the competitiveness recovered without the fact that in the attack nobody has been able to buckle into the vacancy of 7. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bale, Lucas … Everyone has been going in and out, adding sometimes, sometimes not so much, while the team created the spinal cord
City Road
Now the coach will have to go around the system to fit his star without resisting the structure. It returns, it is true, to the doors of two decisive curves for the white season: the classic one, in two weeks, and the elimination of the Champions before the Manchester City, with the departure on February 26. The objective of Zidane is that Hazard take a temperature in the two league games that arrive before the momentous events, where his team will play the League and the European trip.
Celta can be a good function for Hazard's return, either playing for a while from the starting lineup or leaving in the second half. I am very happy that he returns because he is a unique player. With him we do not want to rush so that the sensations were very good. We know what the team wins with him and that's why we signed him. He is a great player and it is time for him to return to the team, the Marseille coach said yesterday.
Rodrygo and Lucas rest, with Benzema's company to be defined. Zidane was asked yesterday about the defensive face of his team. Soccer is always balance. The legend of Real Madrid is attacking and playing good football. But defensively we have to work hard and hard. It is what we are doing lately. In football, balance is what gives results.
