In the past few years, the squad of Real Madrid was formed of international players who signed for a very big amount of money. All started with the so called “Galácticos”. This year it seems that Zidane believes in the players grown in Real Madrid. Now, we can count 7 young players in the first squad. Other years, perhaps Real Madrid would have given them on loan or sold them: Morata, Carvajal, Casemiro, Lucas Vázquez, Marco Asensio, Mariano and Nacho.
Last year two of the most important players, especially at the end, were Casemiro and Lucas Vazquez. Casemiro is the only “stopper” Real Madrid has and many people thought that it was a good idea to sign another player in the same position for this season, but Zidane believes in him. Lucas Vazquez last year didn´t have so many minutes, but at the final part of the season Zidane started giving him minutes because of the several injures and bad physical condition of some players. He played very well and now he is an important player for this project.
This year is the opportunity for Asensio. He played many minutes in the preseason and scored a great goal in the European Super Cup. Maybe this weekend we can see him in the starting as well as Morata. With the injury of Benzema he will be the striker for Anoeta.
Carvajal and Nacho spent several years in Madrid. Last year Danilo signed for Real Madrid and we thought Carvajal will be the substitute, but finally he was the perfect right back for Real Madrid. Nacho doesn´t have too many minutes but he is an example everytime he has to play.
Today we received a piece of news from Zidane saying that Mariano is going to stay in the first team and he won´t go on loan. It´s a surprise because many teams of the first division wanted to sign Mariano but it seems that Zidane trusts him.
