The copera hangover left Zidane evidenced after making too many rotations in the match against Real society. The San Sebastian team came out with everything in the Santiago Bernabeu and the Plan B from Zidane It was not enough to win the match. Now the team must alternate two competitions and the minutes are reduced with free weeks to prepare for the weekend games. In Central defense, we will analyze the opportunities line by line.
The goalkeeper goalkeeper without a doubt is Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper is in a fabulous moment of form and has coincided with the bad performance of Areola in a cup that fit four goals. The French goal is on loan and that leaves him in a bad position to enjoy minutes beyond that which are mandatory for obvious reasons such as injury to Courtois or penalty.
The rear left in front of the Real society I only had Sergio Ramos As a regular player. Marcelo, Nacho and Militao they accompanied the camero and the result was four goals against. Zidane He has a clear defense: Carvajal, Varane Y Mendy will be the usual behind. Nacho on the other hand, it seems that he advanced to Militao and it will be the defense that rotates to replace any of the owners.
The center of the field is the plot that has less evidence. Valverde replaced in position a Casemiro but he will continue to be the starter with the Brazilian and Kroos. Modric and Isco they are the players who will complete the scheme when the Frenchman chooses to play with four midfielders. James Y Brahim on the other hand they are left without many options to have minutes for the rest of the season although it is true that Brahim He has won whole with his performances.
The forward has two fully defined positions and the right wing has a strong fight with many candidates to occupy that position. The far left will be occupied by Hazard when he recovers 100% and will accompany Benzema which is immovable in the center. The right wing starts with some advantage Vinicius who has convinced his actions on the left ahead of his countryman Rodrygo which is second very even with Lucas Vázquez by position. Bale it seems that nothing counts for Zidane and its situation is similar to that of Jovic Y Mariano that will not have very relevant minutes until the end of the season. (Zidane's decision with those who played the worst against Real)
