The defensive fragility of the Madrid: a problem that repeats

The Real Madrid has had a beginning of campaign entirely odd. In total, between LaLiga Santander and Champions League, have fit 16 goals, 14 of them in the last seven clashes, including the shameful goleada of Valencia before the stop of selections (4-1) in Mestalla. In addition to the problems in the attack, the picture merengue has had grave incovenientes in his defensive saga, something that Zinedine Zidane had attained to improve during the past season.

The central madridistas have left more doubts that certainties. Raphael Varane is simplenmente unrecognizable. The French, that has been in the White House by more than ten years, had consolidated like one of the strongest defenders and with less margin of error committed. Beside Sergio Bouquets, did a couple that saved, in a lot of occasions, to the merengues. On the other hand, Éder Militao, that arrived by 50 millions the past season, has been very irregular, especially when it touches him share responsibilities with the central French. Although it is corpulento and very talentoso, has not justified his signing.

The strongest point of the Real Madrid, so much in the attack as in the defence, has been Sergio Bouquets, that finishes his agreement with the merengues in June of 2021 and still has not renewed. The sevillano is the anchor merengue, the leader and the one who has gone out to defend to his team, but his performances also have been argued. In front of Valencia, for example, committed an unnecessary hand that supposed a new penal for the ones of Mestalla.

The drops also punish to the Madrid

Although Zinedine Zidane has a lot that improve, is true that the injuries (and the coronavirus) have not been to his favour. The French has lost to his right sides (Dani Carvajal and Nacho Fernández) by injuries and has had to improvise with Lucas Vázquez by the right band. In the case of Militao, gave positive in the proofs of COVID-19 and has been confined in the last weeks. Worse still for the French technician, one of his more important players, Casemiro, also infected of the virus and is drop. It is not a secret the big contribution of the Brazilian in the defensive saga.

The Real Madrid will have, undoubtedly, that go out to the market to reinforce , no only in the attack, but also for his defence. Florentino Pérez keeps to David Praises, of the Bayern Munich, and Dayot Upamecano, of the RB Leipzig, in the highest of his diary. During the past market, the merengues did not buy to any player and did box with the sale of varied, so the money will not be a problem for the ones of Zidane.
