Alaves Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Alaves away from home, currently they are at the 13th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. There is no leeway for dropping points and so Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.



First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. James
  3. Lucas Vazquez
  4. Hazard
Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:
  1. Nacho
Practiced:

 All are practicing. James, Asensio and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes, while Hazard began his.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Nothing specific
Other Comments:
    • Hazard will be fit for the El Classico.
    • New Injury update: Varane is not able to train
    Squad Updates:


    This is a crucial game for the title race with Barcelona playing Atletico this weekend. With Marcelo playing the whole 90 minutes against PSG mid-week, it gives ZZ option to start Mendy completely fresh. So Mendy, Ramos, Militao and Carvajal should start, more so with the great work over the past few games by the defence. Instead of Carvajal, Odriozola might start to rest Carvajal.
    In the goal Courtois will start, with clean sheets in the last 5 games of the 7 and only three goals, of which two were due to defensive errors courtesy Ramos and Varane, things still look positive.

    As all the four mid-fielders, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Valverde are performing at the top level, it will be a tough decision for ZZ. With the game time provided to Isco, Kroos, Valverde, Casemiro and Modric, it will be Kroos, Modric and Casemiro to start and Isco and Valverde will act as subs. 

    As Hazard is injured it will for the first time give Bale opportunity to start along with Benzema and Rodrygo. Jovic and Vinicus will be options for substitution. 


    So the final starting 11 will be:




    Update: Militao replaces Varane

    Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced:  Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

    The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

    Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

    Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Real Betis at home, currently they are at 16th on the leader-board, where as Real is 2nd with a game in hand. They would like to continue the momentum they had picked mid-week against Leganes. They have had a very bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence. Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Nacho Bale Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez Mendy Practiced: All except the injured lot and James, who went to Colombia due to birth of his baby. Skipped Practice: James Coach Comments: Zidane :   "I don't have a 'Plan A' or a 'Plan B'," he said when asked about his starting XI. "Every three days I have to leave out quality players. I count on everyone. "It's something that bothers me a lot. I try to choose my best players, but I c...

    RCD Mallorca Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Mallorca and away from home, currently they are 18th on the leader-board in the league and Madrid are at the top. They have won 2 matches in the league and one of them is the last match. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Modric Bale Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Isco Nacho Marcelo Courtois Kroos Raphael Varane Valverde Mend Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Zidane :  Zidane: "Modric, Bale, Kroos and Lucas are not available." As Mendy, Nacho and Marcelo are all recovered from injury the left back position is going to be a puzzle.  Varane has recovered from injury but might get rested for champions league game mid week. Ramos has also rested with Spain so should start. And Carvajal might get some rest after playing with Spain, and looking at the...
