He is facing his great opportunity but he is losing rope. The Real Madrid He completed his tenth day since he returned to work after almost two months of hiatus for the Covid-19, the team’s degrees of intensity rise, the staff assimilates Dupont’s physical beatings … and Mariano is still confined in the gym. Just promoted to second nine from the team for Jovic’s long-term injury.

While Jovic continues to test Madrid’s patience, which has still transmitted to him that he will have another opportunity next season, Mariano does not leave boxes for an alleged small injury that seems strangest with each passing moment. He is the only one along with Bale who does not allow the club to issue his medical reports. The unofficial version emerging from both sides, entity and footballer, was that he did not start exercising like his teammates last May 11 for some discomfort in the right foot. A week and a half later, Madrid only mentions Mariano “in the gym”.
In Valdebebas you can hardly see him. He grew a beard and did not. As AS could know, her relationship with Zidane remains as cold and soulless as ever. The reunion was an official, a handshake and something else. The club is no stranger to his particular lifestyle and not even the drive of people who know him well (“Mariano insists, he wants to succeed in Madrid“, his discoverer recently assured in AS) seems to be working. The striker does not want to leave but his profile (just over € 4M per course) is considerable to be the last footballer in minutes and especially when the club shuffles a cut in the salaries of the first team. He has not had a minimum of luck either. The coronavirus stopped Mariano when he was becoming a danger factor in Madrid, with the goal 40 seconds after entering the Classic and the minutes that he had against Betis. But the long competitive parenthesis came and that seems like a distant past.
Your competition has gotten the direct …
Mariano is left behind and that this return to football brings peculiarities for laggards. As this newspaper recounted, Zidane has told the squad that in this final stretch of competition so busy everyone is necessary: ”I need you all.” Including Mariano. But while still in the bowels of Valdebebas, Benzema gets ready in his role as an untouchable striker and Asensio, whom Zizou plans as false nine, he is himself again after almost a year stopped. Mariano overtook Jovic, but it seems that he is back in the starting box.
