Real Madrid regular season starts tomorrow at 19.15 (Uk time) against a difficult squad like Real Sociedad. Los Blancos don´t want to repeat again the start of the last season only getting a draw against a team newly promoted, Sporting de Gijon. The squad managed by Zinedine Zidane has the achievement of winning this trophy because since the season 2011-2012 they have not won it.
Real Sociedad haven’t changed a lot the squad this summer. Juanmi Jimenez is the only change we can find in the attacking line. The young Spaniard striker didn´t have a good experience in the Premier League scoring 0 goals in the regular season and now he has the chance to return where he grew up as a player. Eusebio Sacristan wants to recover the best version of Carlos Vela. The Mexican striker did´t play a good season last year because everybody, including him, thought that his stage in Real Sociedad was over. The basque team wants to improve the results of last year and finish this season qualifying for European competitions.
Real Madrid will start this season with three very important injures. Karim Benzema has a pain in the hip that prevented him play the European Supercup. Pepe, who was in a great physical condition but couldn´t finish the European Cup in France, could appear against Celta the next 27th of August. While Cristiano Ronaldo can´t arrive to this match because he is still injured of his ankle and it´s expected to play again after the international matches.
Now is the opportunity for the players that don´t play often. Morata will be the reference in the attack despite his pain in the foot. Asensio will replace Cristiano. Real Madrid fans are excited with the young Spanish player because he did a great preseason. In the defense Varane will replace Pepe.
Los Blancos are favorites for the game but Real Sociedad is a very difficult team and last year the basque team played a great game and the lost only by a goal of Gareth Bale.
Real Sociedad possible XI: Rully; Zaldua, Iñigo Martinez, Aritz Elustondo, Yuri, Illarramendi, Markel Bergara, Vela, Zurutuza, Oyarzabal, Juanmi.
Real Madrid possible XI: Casila; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Kovacic, Asensio, Bale, Morata.
