Real Madrid got their 2020/21 season back on track with victories over Sevilla, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Atlético de Madrid. With Zinedine Zidane working with minimal pressure released, the French coach can relax his rotation policy.
Zidane, who has faced the latest humiliation that would have entailed falling into the Europa League, has managed to save himself by discovering an XI that can be trusted.
Now, with Atalanta as a team in emotional difficulties as their rival in the next day of the Champions League and Atleti ahead in the LaLiga Santander court, things are looking better for the whites.
In the three victories mentioned, Zidane has barely used 16 players and has had an established starting XI.
Gone is his trust in Isco and Marcelo, while trust has been placed in Lucas Vázquez and Luka Modric, who has returned to the best level that can be expected to handle their aging legs.
Thibaut Courtois, Raphael Varane, Toni Kroos, Modric and Lucas have been seen as undisputed starters in recent matches, having played so many matches so well followed.
Lucas has chained 11 starts together, Modric has nine, Kroos has seven and Varane has eight, all of which have created an atmosphere of positivity in Valdebebas.
The suspended Casemiro is out for Tuesday’s game against Athletic Club, but Zidane could bring out a familiar side. Such a policy has worked for the past week.
