Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11


The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24. Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow, Madrid is not going to take any risks this time.




Looking at the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Mariano
  3. James
Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team.

Suspended:
  1. None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension.
Just recovered:
  1. Hazard
He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter.

Practiced:

Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • None.
Other Comments:
  • This is a crucial game and the team had a very good outing in the last match after a hard fought win and need to improve to keep the spirits high.
Squad Updates:



This is a crucial game for the La liga title race.

In the goal Courtois will start and was announced as the winner of the La liga player of the month. He had several good games in the past, things look definitely very positive for Courtois and Real Madrid. 

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy will start on the left and might force an yellow card to make himself available for the el clasico and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form and will try to avoid any errors leading to the goals.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Last game Isco came on top of all and had a brilliant outing, at the same time Kroos had been rested. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Valverde, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. Isco and Modric will be on the bench.

As Asensio has been injured and Hazard has just recovered, both would not start. After several changes and returns it will be Benzema, Vinicius and Bale to start. And Hazard, Jovic and Rodrygo should be on the bench. Hazard will be used for 15 to 20 minutes. BBH might get to play together after a long time.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Bale and Vinicius on the wings behind Benzema.

So the final starting 11 will be:

The upcoming match is against the Levante, who are currently positioned 4th and have won last two matches in La Liga. First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Suspended : Bale (Red card) Just recovered: Jovic  James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot, Casemiro, Militao and Vinicius had just one practice session. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to play but need to be careful Vinicius has his confidence, but need to mature So the line up seems Hazard to start but will play for 60 mins or so, and will be replaced by Vinicius. With Bale not available the right wing should be owned by Vinicius, but as there are other injury worries Vinicius will only be used as a substitute and Lucas Vazquez will start in th...

Shaktar Donetsk Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match against Shaktar Donetsk is an away game in the Champions league match day 5.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alaves which was the worst performance of the season. This was pathetic display in every department leading to a dismal loss. It was the 1st home defeat to Alaves in 20 years, says volumes about the teams display. The team had 20 shots, of which 9 were on target and only 1 goal which meant the intensity in attack was totally missing. The team rating for the match against Alaves can be found here:  Team Rating This is the fifth game of the group stage and Real have no option but to win this for their fans and for themselves and to keep their chance of progression alive. Looking at the Injury list: Ramos Odriozola Valverde Hazard Carvajal Suspended : None Just recovered: Militao Benzema Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: There is no explanation.

Real Madrid Vs Levante: The Starting 11 Post Match

I Suggested the following starting 11: Zidane had slightly different plan. He made just one change Started Vinicius instead of Hazard on the left. All other changes were during the match and were  Casemiro was replaced by Hazard (Casemiro was tired and had a long flight and jet lag) and this meant James had to drop to the centre deeper. Ramos with slight discomfort went out and Militao replaced him (Like for Like, and a cautionary substitution looking ahead into the next matches) Benzema was replaced by Jovic (Again another Like for like change) and giving some more for the new and recovered player to get adapted to the new side, at the same time give some rest for Benzema. If we analyze Real are still loose in the back and the defenders are not consolidating their usual authority. With Casemiro it is slightly stronger than with any other holding mid-fielder replacing him.  Final comment for the team after the match is  Finishing: ...
