Modric Wound Injury, Zinedine Zidane Must Play Brain

Croatian Luka Modric raises a long list of Real Madrid players who need to be pulled over because of injury. Modric suffered an adductor muscle injury in his right leg on Friday (9/13/2019). This condition certainly resulted in Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane needing to rack my brain.

Because Real Madrid will undergo a busy schedule in the next few weeks. This weekend Saturday (14/9) Real Madrid need to meet together with Levante in the fourth week of the Spanish LaLiga.

In the middle of the week after Real Madrid will need to travel to Paris to face Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the first matchday of the Champions League this season.

Quoted from Marca, Zinedine Zidane practically can only rely on the rest of the players in his midfield. Like Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, Isco, Casemiro, and Valverde. The last four names actually haven't recovered 100% from injuries.

The problem comes from the four midfielders, no one has the type to play like Luka Modric. Midfielder aged 34 years. These are typical midfielder deep-lying midfielders. He has the power to read the game and is a balance between defense and attack.

Modric is also a Real Madrid player who has a level of passing accuracy that is too good. The loss of Modric, of course, resulted in Zinedine Zidane willingly not willing to play James Rodriguez and push a little inside Toni Kroos.

The choice to play Casemior can also be confiscated by Zidane. This ex-Porto player has the nature and type of play that is a bit similar to Modric.
