Risky decisions of Zidane in the alignment in front of the Bayern

Gareth Bleat and Carlos Casemiro could have been perfectly titled this Tuesday against the Bayern Munich in Santiago Bernabéu, with reason of the turn of semifinals of the Champions League, but the technician of the Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, bet by other players that theoretically did not appear in the majority of quinielas, as for example Karim Benzema and Mateo Kovacic in his places.

The Welsh came to mark in the last party of League Santander 2017-18 in front of the Leganés, but this did not serve him to be title this Tuesday in front of the Bavarian group, whereas Karim Benzema, the 'leading without goal' of this season in the Real Madrid, split in the eleven headline and left to the Welsh attacker in the bench, with Cristiano Ronaldo like big reference of attack.

It was a risky decision and that many criticised, taking into account the bad performance that is showing Benzema this campaign. In any case, was not that the only surprise of Zidane. Because Nacho, that appeared in all the quinielas to be the right side because of the drop of Carvajal, remained also in the bench to the detriment of Lucas Vázquez.

The footballer that is used to to play of creative midfield player, mediapunta and extreme, Lucas, was situated in this occasion of right side to brake the tackled of Franck Ribéry and company, in a decision what less risked of Zidane and that seemed to want to 'copy' what has done the FC Barcelona these last years with Sergi Roberto.

Also it surprised to all the world the absence of Casemiro in the eleven initial, with Kovacic in his place. In any case, Zidane showed with his eleven that has clear his ideas and that do not matter him the criticisms that can receive. Like this the things, the alignment title of the Real Madrid was formed by the following players: Keylor Navas; Lucas Vázquez, Sergio Bouquets, Varane, Marcelo; Kovacic, Kroos, Modric, Asensio; Cristiano and Benzema.

The Bayern Munich, with Thiago Alcántara

The Bayern Munich, by his part, did not give too many surprises with his alignment title, mermada by the absences by injury of Robben, Boateng and of Javi Martínez that has suffered seasicknesses these last days. Ulreich; Kimmich, Hummels, Süle, Praises, Tolisso, James Rodríguez, Thiago, Müller, Ribèry and Lewandowski formed the eleven Bavarian. An alignment, in definite, very offensive of Heynckes.

And it is that the German technician already left clear in the previous press conference to the party that, if it wanted to trace back the eliminatory against the Real Madrid, had to take out an offensive alignment and with gunpowder, with the aim to mark prompt in the Bernabéu.
