Twice Zidane has resurrected this team and that, together with his enviable resume, should give him enough credit when he warns that they will not lower their arms and that they will fight until the end. But we live in days of little faith and the Madrid fans, before promises, want facts and above all they want goals and want titles.
It is true that Real Madrid arrived in Huesca broken by the casualties of Ramos, Carvajal, Valverde, Lucas, Rodrygo, Hazard, Militao and Isco (in order of importance), although it is no less true that it is difficult to trust this team in sight of the difficulties he suffers to beat the bottom player in two set pieces. He controls the games a lot because Kroos and Modric are two colossal game generators but as soon as he approaches the area the lights go out and he has lost the consistency that LaLiga gave him.
Yesterday he added his second victory in the last five games with which it can be argued that he has achieved his goal, however the feeling that it is a team caught with tweezers that needs many opportunities to score a goal is more present with each passing game. In fact, it becomes more apparent the weaker the opponent is. It happened with Huesca as it happened two weeks ago with the modest Alcoyano in the Cup. That day Madrid did not get eliminated due to excess confidence or disconnection, they lost because they did not have the resources to overcome a minimally ordered defense. That is why it is dizzying to think about the Champions League.
