Coach Comments:
- Zidane: "We have given the maximum. We have lacked clarity offensively and defensively, very well. We have lacked something upstairs. A draw but we continue fighting. It will not end here."
Other Comments:
- Marcelo: "We all have to get on with it, give our maximum. I don't think I've had a secondary role this season, I'm one of the captains & I play very well when I do. I've had minutes today and I want to continue playing. It's difficult when you play after being out for a while."
Squad Updates:
This will be the Forty Fourth game of the season and Real have been too inconsistent in the matches and so has been the results, they have had 26 wins, 9 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games the performance has been poor especially in attack and with this ailing team it is not making the run any easier.
Cadiz is a struggling side and are good in the defense, so Real will need to be careful in both departments and be ready for their counters.
In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense very well but has not received the same from the team and more so with so many changes owing to the mishaps in defense.
Marcelo should start on the left in absence of Mendy, as there is no other option. As Ramos is out injured, Nacho should start along with Militao and Varane should start, it is expected that Varane will recover from COVID. Carvajal is now back and might play as a substitute. So Marcelo, Varane, Militao and Nacho should start. Carvajal, Odriozola and Chust should be available as substitutes.
Modric has been off pace in the last few games, he seems exhausted. Same goes with Kroos, who has been exceptional otherwise like Modric. So, Kroos and Modric should start. As Casemiro is back after suspension he should be back. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench.
The forwards have been poor all season except, they have been wasting many chances in front of the goal. Hazard is possibly back but might not start and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last three games. With Asensio playing well, he should get his chance ahead of Rodrygo. And Benzema should start upfront.
As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fatigue and injuries.
The probable substitutions will be:
Vinicius > Hazard
Modric > Isco
Asensio > Rodrygo
Kroos > Blanco
Benzema > Mariano
So the formation would be 3 5 2.
The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!
So the final starting 11 will be:
Kroos OUT <> Isco IN
Modric OUT <> Rodrygo IN
