Zidane was again chameleonic: goodbye to the Super Cup system

The Real Madrid he planted in the Spanish Super Cup 2020 in Jeddah with several important casualties (Asensio, Hazard, Bale and Benzema), but Zinedine Zidane he knew how to reinvent himself and, with a system of five midfielders between the defense and Jovic, led the team to conquer it. Now, the white team returns this Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to LaLiga before the Seville in the Santiago Bernabéu on day 20 and the French coach transforms the board again.

Zizou has changed the 4-5-1 which has led him to conquer the first title of the season for the 4-3-3, very common this season along with the 4-4-2. The absence of Fede Valverde for his sanction – expelled in the Super Cup– has been the main reason for this change. James It could have entered into its place in what would have been a very offensive core, but it did not even enter the call. (The offers that Madrid rejected by James in January)

So, Zidane, which has also left Isco on the bench before the Seville, has opted for the golden trident of the great citations in recent seasons, while Lucas Vázquez, Rodrygo and Jovic They form the attack. Benzema, already recovered, will be on the bench, hoping to add the first minutes after his injury that has made him miss the Super Cup.

The Galician end, which took time to have opportunities this season, returns to dress shortly more than two months after his injury – he did not play since the 0-4 against Eibar on day 13 on November 9-, while the young Brazilian crack returns to ‘11’ after his good minutes against Atleti at the end of the Super Cup. The return of Marcelo to the starting team almost two months also after his injury – he had not since 0-1 before the Alavés on day 15 on November 30– and the irruption of Militao for the injured Ramos are the other two great news of Madrid of Zidane before him Seville of Lopetegui.
