At the moment in which Dani Carvajal was standing on the right wing of
Real Madrid's
attack
, Zinedine Zidane
threw his fist in the air and lamented as if it were a missed goal chance.
The white right back, who returned to play after more than a month injured, relapsed again.
The Frenchman, meanwhile, called
Lucas Vázquez
, who was also returning after spending a few days in the infirmary, and put his hands to his face in the direction of his bench.
He hugged the '17' merengue, who had to occupy the side as in most of the season, and gave him introductions with his finger while holding the hug, as if wanting to protect him from another misfortune, as insisting that he not force himself.
The
Atalanta
waiting in
Champions
in ten days.
Lucas walked in, and the coach turned to his bench and spread his arms.
What else can I do? He must have thought.
Zidane has no more pieces, who uses Nacho as a center back due to the losses of Sergio
Ramos and Militao
and only has Lucas for the right wing when he also sees
Odriozola
offside
.
He could line up
Mendy
as a center-back, but
Marcelo's
latest injury
forces the Frenchman to keep his compatriot on the left side of the defense.
In addition,
Marvin Park
, the youth squad who made his debut against Getafe as a right-winger, suffered from muscle problems and could not be called up.
Not even that goes well for 'Zizou'.
Carvajal's injury, the
36th in Madrid's season
, came with Benzema's 1-0 already on the scoreboard, and
Zidane released all his anger with Kroos's 2-0 that calmed the game
.
He didn't need to force his players too much.
Carvajal adds his fourth physical problem of the course
.
He has only played twelve games out of the 31 possible and accumulates a total of 917 minutes, the 14th of the squad in this section.
Too little for the starting side of Madrid and the national team.
His
numbers in the last leagues
perfectly explain his injury history.
31 of 38 in 19-20, 24 in 18-19, 25 in 17-18, 23 in 16-17, 22 in 15-16, 30 in 14-15 ... Despite the injury of ligaments this season, in the previous ones they have been mostly muscular: thigh, calf ...
