Can Real Madrid Make it Four in a row?
Depth
Next, we have the young talented bench of Real Madrid, this was one of the reasons Zidane was so successful because his team was so deep, now with Asensio, Ceballos, Nacho, Mariano, and Vasquez coming off the bench you have the versatility across the board and so much talent.
Asensio has been in great form and I would not be surprised to see him start over possibly Isco or Modric who is still trying to get fully fit. Asensio’s pace, vision, and shot power make him an immediate threat in a variety of different positions going forward not to mention this kid is hungry with Ronaldo gone Asensio is looking for a bigger role.
Next, you have Nacho one of the most versatile defenders I have ever seen and with such great chemistry with the whole back line he really can fit in just about anywhere. Dani Ceballos shows a lot of maturity in his game now, he reminds me of a younger version of Modric and the sky is the limit for Ceballos’s. Finally, we have Mariano who is a great option besides Benzema upfront he is more attacking, a workhorse, and dying to prove himself at the club after taking the iconic number seven. Mariano is a gritty player who is just fun to watch him make the back line sweat.
