After a painful defeat and from which many conclusions must be drawn, Zidane Like the water of May, a pause of national teams comes to him with which to redirect the course. In addition, he can draw more conclusions from this selection break than from any other before because there will be fewer players that he will let go with their national teams.
The reasons, yes, have to do with health because neither Militao, neither Casemiro neither Hazard They have packed their bags because they have been infected with Covid-19, neither Carvajal nor Valverde have done them due to injury. With these casualties and with the rest of the players who have not been called by their countries, the roster remains for Zidane in 11 players outside, and 13 inside the facilities of Valdebebas.
Pressure and defensive strength
With those I can, Zidane He will work on two of the aspects that led him to lift the league trophy last year and that at the moment are condemning him and which are pressure and defensive strength.
In the first one, it is a concept that Zidane it has been acquiring over time and that, during this course, it is wanting to implant in its players. For this, there is no doubt, you must be in good physical shape in your squad and, sometimes, as you do not always have it, exerting this pressure exposes you in some actions.
The other task is defense. Undisputed flag of the team during the past season and that in this is being waved with much less force. The white team has already accumulated up to seven games, conceding goals when in the past it was diametrically the opposite.
Thus, more effective than almost ever in Valdebebas, Zidane He has time, wickedness and the desire to return the team at least to the path of confidence and efficiency, two values that are sometimes intermittent and that are making the Whites pay with defeats.
