This will be the ‘11’ of Real Madrid of Zidane to play in Valladolid

The Real Madrid visit to Valladolid this Sunday (9:00 p.m.) in the Jose Zorrilla on the day 21 garter belt and they do it with the ‘obligation’ to take advantage of the ‘prick’ of Barcelona in Mestalla before him Valencia to command the solo classification before Wednesday's duel of the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Zaragoza in La Romareda.

Thus, the French coach will go with everything to beat the Valladolid team, which already took a tie (1-1) at the Santiago Bernabéu on day 2. Thibaut Courtois, after the ownership of Areola before the Unionists, the sticks of the Madrid goal will return to try to expand its sensational state of form. (Madrid has plenty of reasons to win at Zorrilla)

In defense, Zizou, with the fundamental loss of Carvajal and with Odriozola already in Munich, he will bet on Eder Militao on the right side, a position he already occupied on occasion in Porto last season. Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos, after the captain was out in the Cup due to physical problems, they will be the center pair again, while Ferland Mendy He will be the starter on the left side after Marcelo played in Salamanca.

In the center of the field, Casemiro, who plays it practically, will again act as a pivot with Fede Valverde, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric or Isco Alarcón in front. The Uruguayan and the German, who rested in the Cup, seem untouchable against Valladolid, while the Croatian, who did not travel to play against the Unionists, and the Malaga, who only played 11 minutes, dispute the other position.

On the tip, Karim Benzema, already fully recovered from his injury, will be back in the ‘11’ with the goal of rediscovering the goal after having done so for the last time on December 15 against Valencia (five games without seeing the door). The ‘9’ French will have the help of Rodrygo Goes, who did not travel to Salamanca. Lucas Vázquez and Jovic, the other two attackers, will wait for their chance on the bench.
