Zidane was evident with specific decisions of which three players were victims and two others were left in debt. Real Madrid made water at the least expected moment. SOCCER CHAMPIONS REAL MADRID ZIDANE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE m A series of unfortunate events . That was what happened to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. Without a right back the option was to use the 3-5-2 and since Varane was injured the only alternative was Ramos. Mendy entered for Marcelo and did not look good while VinÃcius Jr., punished to give space to Hazard, faded as a right winger at the same pace as the Belgian as a forward. Sergio Ramos, Mendy and Eden Hazard were clearly not physically ready to play in a Champions League semi-final.
The three did what they could, but they were exposed. The question is, did they have substitutes? Maybe yes. Zinedine Zidane opted for experience, it is very valid, in a 3-5-2 formation that although he had already used it, this time he made a mistake with the choice of players. Marcelo, for example, was available to play as a winger and in fact his best commitment this season was playing in that position. The Brazilian is the second Estonia Mobile Number List captain, so he had experience. Zidane chose Mendy. Ramos was coming off knee surgery and a muscle tear in his right calf. He had played only two full games in 2021 and did not complete a week training with all of his teammates. If the decision was to go out with three centre-backs, Zidane had no choice but to give the green light to the 35-year-old captain since Raphael Varane was injured at the last minute.
Changing to 4-3-3 was not an option, because the only right back was Odriozola, who had little confidence in the coaching staff. Sergio Ramos, defender of Real Madrid.. relmadrid.com Sergio Ramos captain of Real Madrid. / realmadrid.com Hazard, for his part, right now is an act of faith in himself. Zidane has a weakness for him and has put him in, even if he is not 100%. It was a decision from which he was doubly punished since VinÃcius Jr. was diluted as a winger on the right and was also marked. Marco Asensio also attracted attention. The 25-year-old Mallorcan had a peak of performance in the season and was as a right winger in the three attackers scheme (4-3-3), in fact, it was the stretch of the calendar in which Madrid was solid.
