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: 5⭐ (11 out of 25 shots on target, 4 offsides)

Creativity and control: 8⭐ (65% Possession and 11 shots on target) 

Chances created: 9⭐( 9 corners vs 6 for Levante, 11 shots on target vs 3 shots for Levante)

Passing: 9⭐(90% accuracy)
No Loose Balls: 3⭐ ( Several ball losses and easy corner leading to goal)
Defensive Coordination: 4⭐( 2 goals due to defensive lapses and 6 corners)
Goal Keeping: 6⭐ (90+2 minute save, otherwise ordinary)
Over all: 6⭐ (Not bad but 45 minutes of good football and 45 minutes of poor work)

A lot to improve on finishing and defensive coordination.

Real Madrid Vs Levante: The Starting 11

Real Madrid Vs Levante: The Starting 11 on 14th Sep 2019

From now on I will try to post the probable 11 for Real Madrid that will start in each match.

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:

1. Isco
2. Modric
3. Asensio
4. Valverde

Suspended:

1. Bale (Red card)

Just recovered:

1. Jovic 
2. James
3. Hazard
4. Brahim Diaz
5. Rodrygo

Practiced:

All except the injured lot, Casemiro, Militao and Vinicius had just one practice session.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:

1. Hazard to play but need to be careful
2. 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 the right. With James starting in the middle behind Benzema, and moving right on occasions.

With this inputs I see the Zidane favorites to start, No Mendy,  Odriozola, Nacho, Militao, Mariano or Areola unless any injuries or sending off.

The final starting 11 should be:

And the subs should be: Vinicius, Brahim and Jovic

If Real go 2,3 goals up then Kroos will be subbed by an additional defender and Mariano might come in as well.
