The Royal .. Did Zidane find Real Madrids plan against Manchester City?
Zidane found himself without the three most important players in the attack line, Karim Benzema and Eddin Hazard, and to a lesser extent Gareth Bale, so he decided to play with five midfield players instead of relying on Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo, and involved Luka Jovic alone in front of this five-a-great match.
Real Madrid triumphed against a single goal, and was able to score more goals, but far from the result, the team presented an ideal performance throughout the ninety minutes, no doubt it is the best match for the team in the current season in terms of control, acquisition and control of the course of the meeting, so we felt that Valencia surrendered In front of the terrifying Zidane system.
The first thing that came to Zidanes mind was the Manchester City match
I think the first thing that the French coach thought about when he found his five-pointed combination in the midfield is a wonderful symphony playing in the radioactive jewel in Al-Jawhara Radio, the Manchester City match that the team will play in a month and a half in the first leg of the Champions League final.
Zidane usually faces the teams that possess the ball with high pressure and direct play, but if there is an opportunity to deprive the opponent of the ball that he used to own, then it will be better as well, and with this terrifying five in the midfield, Real Madrid is able to compete with the Citizens on the ball, and even superiority on him.
The Valencia match was just a trial field for Zidane to apply his new ideas in controlling the ball more and pushing as much as possible from the midfielders, and he always tends to the option of pushing a fourth midfielder in the major confrontations, so he wanted to try how it will be when he pays all the middle field who He owned them in one match, and the results were undoubtedly excellent.
