Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Levante at home in the  Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in the La Liga match day 21.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alaves which was a redemption game after a few shameful results.  The team rating for the match against  Alaves  can be found here:  Team Rating Now on all games are like do or die as there is already a huge gap at the top. Real have no option but to win this fixture at any cost.  Last year this fixture was a narrow 3-2 Win and we have already won at Levante this season 0-2. Levante has won just 1 of 10 away games this season in the league. And they have a mid week game in the Copa del Rey, so they should have less time to recover. Looking at the Injury list: Rodrygo Nacho Ramos Valverde Suspended : None Just recovered: Carvajal Varane Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Without Zidane in direct control Bettoni will be in charge. Other Comments: Casemiro:  We showed once a

The upcoming match is against Levante away from home in the La liga match day 25.  Levante are 13th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. After the lost chance of maintaining the 3 point gap against Celta and with just 1 point separating them and Barcelona,  Madrid has to go full throttle and is not going to take any risks this time. Overall form looks good away from home for Real  Looking at the  Injury list: Asensio Mariano 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 : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension. Just recovered: None 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: Marcelo is not to be blamed for the defensive worri

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

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 : 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 the ri
