Real Madrid debuted in the 2020-2021 League with a meager 0-0 against Real Sociedad. This game was the opportunity to see new players in the squad like Odegaard and the newly promoted to the main team: Arribas and Marvin.
Odegaard, who precisely had a very good 2019-2020 season with Real Sociedad, was the starter. In the midst of a team without many ideas, the young Norwegian did not have his best presentation and left at minute 69. In his place came Casemiro. The surprise came when Marvin for Rodrygo and Valverde for Modric also entered.
And it was a surprise because even though Benzema did not have a good game, Zinedine Zidane decided to leave Jovic and Borja Mayoral on the bench, the two central forwards who could have a chance to put another face on the game.
Well, the French coach did not use either of them and in Spain they are already wondering if Jovic, a Serbian striker who has already completed a year in the team, will be the new case James and Bale, who, despite having good conditions to enter the matches, were completely erased by Zidane.
After the game, Zidane explained about his decision not to put Borja or Mayoral that “we have not changed the drawing, it is complicated because you can put another striker, but if you put another striker you change the drawing and I didn’t want to. We had to put players on the wings and we did that.
Specifically about the 22-year-old Serbian he expressed: “We have a team and players, I have to choose and I have chosen that way. Let’s think about the next game. I have nothing against any player. It’s the drawing, I didn’t want to change it, Karim (Benzema) was fine “.
Arribas, the other youth who made his debut, entered the 90th minute for Vinicius Jr and could do little for the game, but it is surprising that even he is above Jovic.
