Real Madrid: The center of the Madrid field, caught with pins: only Kroos is one hundred percent

TOZinedine Zidane It is now a very serious problem in the center of the field. Why Modric's injury completely breaks his plans that he had both to measure himself to the Levant and to travel to Paris. It's his turn finding solutions to the French in vsperas of a series of transcendental matches, both in the League and in the Champions League.

The reality is that in the face of the match against Levante, only one midfielder is full and filming: Toni Kroos. Because Modric being off the pitch between ten and 15 days, Isco is still in the nurse … and Casemiro will appear at the weekend game with just one training and after a spectacular beating with their respective selections. Valverde also arrives tired after having played in Costa Rica and the United States with Uruguay the other means of the squad, James, leave lesin.

Zidane's idea for the match against Levante was the give rest to Casemiro. The Brazilian played in Miami against Colombia, in Los Angeles before Peru … and only do a training before the duel against Levante, which is played over at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. A beating that invited Zizou to reserve it for Paris. And the same thing happens with Valverde, who played in Costa Rica and in San Luis (United States) and who will only have a training with the group before measuring himself to Levante. As it is, only Kroos arrives at the game with relative peace of mind.

What will Zidane do now? His plan was to play against Levante with Kroos and Modric in the center of the field, with Lucas on one side and James on the other. Now, without Modric, you must choose between Casemiro and Valverde to accompany Kroos, risking players against Paris who have a lot of physical wear on them.

For Paris, the plan without Modric is also unknown. Zizou is supposed to bet up on Bale, Benzema and Hazard and that the center of the field will be formed by Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde, James or Lucas, who will dispute the position depending on the system used by Zidane. If you bet on 4-3-3, Valverde and James are the favorites to accompany Kroos and Casemiro. If you choose a 4-4-2Benzema and Hazard will be the strikers and Bale and Lucas will be the band men.

The reality is that this lesion of Luka modric He has turned the alarms on at Real Madrid again. And this time, for two reasons. The first, the impressive number of injuries that Madrid already adds at this start of the season. There are already eleven, of which eight are muscular. And the second, the problems that Madrid will face in the midfield this season. The current squad only has four pure midfielders (Casemiro, Kroos, Modric and Valverde) and two half-points such as Isco and James who can play in the core.

The list of midfielders seemed very short to the Sports Directorate of Real Madrid, which After the departure of Ceballos and Llorente, they suggested that Zidane accept the signing of another midfielder. Madrid put the name of Van de Beek on the technical table, with whom they had an agreement, but the French closed in band with Pogba and did not accept the arrival of any other player. Now, Madrid walks on the wire in this demarcation. Above all, if the injuries do not stop.
