Real MadridTOZidane will bet on its renewal, while in the club they see many players in their position
Contract ends on June 30, 2021and for now it is still not renewed. We could refer toSergio Ramosor toLuka modric, but in this case we talk aboutLucas Vzquez, one of the footballers whose best performance quality-price has given Real Madrid in recent years. Recall: the youth squad was rewarded by the white teamon July 2, 2015 … for a million euros!And since then, his contribution has been outstanding. Now, however, there is debate about its renewal.ZidaneHis coach has no doubt that he is one of his best soldiers. The club also values him as a great professional, but he understands that the overbooking in his position invites you to wait before making a final decision …
Lucas, that on July 1turn 29, competes on the right wing of Real Madrid withBale(the club does not have him, but it is likely to continue),Asensio and Rodrygo. Although there are other players likeVinciusthey may also be forced to play there. In other words, the competition is maximum and the club wants its younger bets to start appearing more regularly on the field of play. Hence the doubts when it comes to expanding Lucas’s contract.
ZizouHowever, he would not hesitate. WhyLukeHe is one of his most loyal players since he took over Real Madrid in January 2016. The French left him out of his first three games as a coach, but he quickly rectified after seeing him train daily. And Lucas went almost completely to nothing. From being out in the first three games to playing in 14 of the last17 from LaLiga, in addition to participating in the semifinals of the Champions League against City and in the final against Atlético. Precisely in San Siro he put the Madrid fans in his pocket, launching the first penalty of the shoot-out. It was his first season at Madrid, it had cost only a million …. and he asked Zizou to launch the first. The French did not hesitate. ANDLucas did not fail.
His good season came accompanied by awards.The club rewarded him by leveling him up on the payroll salary scale and Del Bosque took him to the Eurocup in France.It was a good time for Lucas Vzquez, who will continue the following season with Zidane.
During the League-Champions League double, he will play50 gamesamong all competitions, being the most used footballer of the entire squad. Neither Benzema (48 games), Kroos (48) or Cristiano (46) played as much as Lucas, who scored five goals and gave 11 assists.
In the 17-18 season of the third consecutive Champions League,LukeHe would maintain the romance with Zidane, being again the player most used by the coach. 53 matches will take place that year, the same as Marco Asensio. And is that Lucas, in addition to always comply, is never injured. His contribution would be essential in the Champions League that season, being key to thePSGand forcing the penalty against theJuveto give Madrid the pass in the final. His thorn that season would be not to play a minute in the final against Liverpool, although he was also decisive in the semifinals against Bayern, playing the180 minutes.
Zidane left and arrivedLopeteguifor a season in which he was alsoSolariand in which the French ended up returning to finish off the course. A seasonal thing that Lucas was not affected by:He was the second most used player (47 games) after Benzema (53).
This season, however,injuries first appearedand Lucas’s minutes have been going down. Just at the worst time, when your contract begins to end. A muscle problem in October and a broken toe, after an accident with a weight in the gym, have left him his match locker at 18. That is, when Zizou has kept him available he has always pulled him, although his untouchable status has been falling due to the push of players likeVinciusandRodrygoWhich is where the club is looking now. Madrid wants to maximize their investment of 100 million and, to a certain extent, that the French stop looking at that player of only one million who has never failed him. And a year to end his contract, here’s the debate:Lucas s or Lucas no.Zizou, who used it more than anyone in his first two and a half years, is clear about it. The club, however, hesitates to extend its contract, which expires on June 30, 2021, one day before its 30th birthday …
