This Sunday the Real Madrid visit The Sadar to face the Osasuna on day 23 of the Santander League. Those of Zidane they need to get all three points to continue in the first position of the table. While the Navarrese team seeks victory to get away from the relegation zone and get closer to the European positions. It is worth noting the casualties of James and Hazard, and the incorporation of Bale. This will be the eleven holder of the Real Madrid before him Osasuna:
In goal there will be no doubt and it will be Courtois the guardian who watches the shots of the Osasuna. The Belgian was substitute in the last game of Cup before the Real because Areola He was assigned from the outset that he would be in charge of occupying the goal in this competition.
In defense, he will return Carvajal to cover the right band, and Ferland Mendy To cover the left. They were also substitutes before the Real. This time yes, Zidane will feature Varane and Ramos as a couple of centrals. In Copa there were several defensive failures and this time he will put full confidence in his starting defense.
In the center of the field will be Casemiro as a defensive midfielder (he was not in the Cup). They will accompany you Kroos and Valverde having a more offensive role. The doubt will be shared Modric and Isco. In the case of the Croatian, the medullary will be formed by four means. In the situation of Malaga, he will have to play as a midfielder.
In the attack, Zidane will satisfy his strategy with Vinicius and Benzema. The Brazilian has been numerous matches being the best and scoring, and that is why he will have another new opportunity (taking advantage that Hazard is not called). Karim is the head of the white club, there will be no doubt in having him.
I have to add that there are certain doubts with Bale or Lucas Vázquez. It is true that Zidane You can opt for a 4-3-3 instead of a 4-3-1-2. One of these two players could leave a midfielder on the bench and join the attack with Vinicius and Benzema.
The eleven full holder of Real Madrid against Osasuna will be: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Casemiro, Valverde, Kroos, Modric or Isco; Vinicius and Benzema.
