Real Madrid The Norwegian’s departure leaves Real Madrid with only five midfielders
Odegaard finalizes his march to Arsenal. If there are no surprises, it will be yielded and confirming the stampede of the last years of the different media that have been throwing in the towel before the dictatorship of the central holder of the Real Madrid for six years now. But beyond those who have left, the reality is that for this season Zidane he is left with only five media. In addition to these three players, Valverde and Isco, that, by the way, asked to leave in January if there was any offer but that any possibility has been truncated since with the departure of Odegaard the medullary remains very weakened and more for what remains.
Odegaard It is the fourth victim that the main core is charged. The Norwegian has seen how it has been forgotten. Although he started in the first game of League in Anoeta, Zidane’s bet was diluted. The Frenchman’s idea was to place Martin very high, almost behind the striker, which was especially detrimental to Modric or even Kroos. The two have been imposed and the Norwegian has been disappearing. Valverde He has entered before Odegaard, who did not enter the pools to play even higher.
Illarramendi was the first to give up. It was especially Casemiro who made him throw in the towel. He arrived as a starter and the Brazilian left on loan to Real, but with the return of Case after his loan to PortIllara packed her bags back home after two irregular years, especially the second, even though Casemiro wasn’t there.
Kovacic arrived before the economic crisis at Inter. He was in Zidane’s three Champions and he had outstanding moments, but almost always due to an injury, either from Casemiro or Modric. He left on loan to Chelsea, He was able to return the following year but Madrid chose to make cash and accepted a transfer for 45 million, already with Zidane back.
Madrid continued to search the market for media that could compete with the core trio or be alternatives. Ceballos came from Betis for 18 million. This is his second season on loan at Arsenal as he does not count for Zidane. Nor did he catch up with Lopetegui and his style did not fit into the Frenchman’s idea, once he was back on the bench. It was two years in white and while the French and the current core can be more. The French also bet before Isco for a player of that profile.
The last most notorious case has been that of Marcos Llorente, who has also been uncovered at Atlético as a newcomer, although in Madrid he competed more with the media and especially with Casemiro. Last year he coincided with Zidane and after 20 matches the club decided to sell him despite the fact that there was no other player with Casemiro’s profile. Llorente had not settled with Lopetegui either, but Solar Yes, he gave him the opportunity and it was seen that he was more than profitable in that match of Champions in Rome, where he showed his good form despite his inactivity. The youth squad confessed that Zidane made it clear that it was better to find a team.
