Zinedine Zidane has not discovered a secret formula to revive Real Madrid’s season and in front of a stage that endangered the League and champions league, he had it all the time ahead of him.
The key men to get four rebound victories were veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, a proven duo and one of the midfield couples in the club’s history.
At 35 and 30 respectively, Modric and Kroos are at the helm of the team right now and their delight is invaluable.
Modric made almost perfect functionality in the win over Borussia Monchengladbach, while Kroos, the derby leader, beat Atletico Madrid.
Modric, who is about to disappear this season, is enjoying a spring moment and is betting almost to the point that the Ballon d’Or earned him in 2018.
The Croatian created 29 opportunities, has a passing accuracy of more than 90% and performed 29 dribble.
Kroos has been on Zidane’s plans and has only missed two games this season, Real Valladolid and Levante for a minor muscle problem, so he has played the other 17 games, adding 14 from the start.
The king of dead balls has created 38 chances this season, two of which have become purposes, while also having a passing accuracy of more than 93% and scored his first crusade purpose in Tuesday’s win over Athletic Club.
The third member of Zidane’s favorite midfielder, either this season and since taking office, it is Casemiro, who scored 3 goals and one scored a hand in 2020/21.
Zidane’s confidence in the old guard is evident, with players like Isco and Martin Odegaard not being able to make forays into the team.
If the current form continues, the French coach will continue to return to the trio that has won three consecutive Champions League titles.
