In the early part of the 2019-2020 season, things were not going well with coach Zinedine Zidane, and many criticized him for relying on players he trusted and contributed to Real Madrid winning several titles.
However, as the season reached its finals and the royal approached winning the League title and 4 points away from Barcelona 5 stages before the end, it seems that the old guard of the team is back to avenge.
Players such as German Tom Crosse, Croatian Luka Modric, and Spaniards Sergio Ramos, Danny Carbajal and French Karim Benzema have formed the backbone of the team, which is preparing to take the title out of Barca's hands.
Many believed that this season would be Zidane's "year of revolution" in which youth would participate at the expense of the veteran, but he continued to trust the old guard and the players who made the glory of "Zizou" as a Merengue coach.
The only change in the Zidane squad was the inclusion of Frenchman Fairland Mende in the left-back center, who replaced the Brazilian Marcelo in several matches, knowing that the latter still had the confidence of the French coach.
The coaches Santiago Solari and Yulin Lopetegui tried to change the helm of the ship to the destination of youth, and raise some of them at the expense of players who gave the Real 3 consecutive Champions League titles.
Zidane tried more than one plan and involved young players in the squad, until he reached a gold equation that depends on the elements of the veterans and youths.
"Zizou" tried hard to avoid selling Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, one of the elements of the success of Zidane's first period, but the administration insisted and came with the Belgian Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper who offers amazing levels and is steadily advancing to win this season the "Zemura" award, which is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the season.
Ramos and Carbajal lead the defense privilegedly after the match resumption period, as the team's goal in this period only received two goals in 6 games.
In the last Thursday's victory over Getafe, the royal showed a strong combat and personal fitness and fitness, and clinched difficult game points with a stressful victory with a clean goal.
And the result of "1-0" became a milestone in the riyal's career this season, as he won 5 times in it, and Ramos became the team's top scorer after Benzema, so Zidan gives the defense the priority, because the days of the goals' abundance when Cristiano Ronaldo was present in the squad, are over Back.
