Nacho has been in the last years Real Madrid’s fourth full back and also more recently the main replacement of Marcelo in the left back when the Brazilian is absent. His versatility has allowed him to play in several positions of the pitch and we can say that every time that Zidane introduce him in the line-up he has played very good games.
Few players are reminded that being a usual substitute can offer such a high level when the managers believe in them. Nacho has also played important games and his performance has been very good, highlighting his great concentration. He is 27 years old and despite his youth he is an important player for the team managed by Zinedine Zidane. With the pass of the time his importance has been growing.
With the last match of the regular season at San Mamés, he has already played the same games as last year. With these numbers we can say that he is living his best year as a professional with Real Madrid. His importance in the team has also increased because of Pepe’s injuries and because the future of the Portuguese seems to be far from Madrid in the next season.
His last defeat playing in the line up was on January 15 where the team managed by Zidane lost against Sevilla. He also participated in the bad game Los Blancos did against Valencia, but he only played the last 18 minutes. This means that when Nacho in the starting 11, Real Madrid are even stronger.
Therefore, with the Pepe’s uncertain future and Varane’s worst season since his arrival to Madrid, many supporters begin to suggest that the Spaniard full back, who has been called by Spain national team, must be in the usual line up. Do you think Nacho must be Sergio Ramos pair in the defense?
