Real Madrid will not be quite sure of themselves when they face FC Barcelona at Camp Nou on Saturday in La Liga, as they seek to overcome the consecutive defeats at home.
Cadiz opened the white defence to win 0-1 at Alfredo di Stefano Stadium in their last league match, and Shakhtar Donetsk was next to cut their baseline on Wednesday night in the Champions League, scoring 3 goals in a period of 13 minutes earlier. resist retaliation to claim a narrow 2-3 victory.
The most recent defeat of specific concern, especially since the Ukrainian aspect has covered an under staff of 11 due to an outbreak of coronavirus as far as his team is concerned.
For Royal credit, they defended themselves in the middle of the moment. Federico Valverde thought he had stored an unlikely point in off time, only to see his tie ruled because Vinicius Junior was offside and blocked the view of the Shakhtar goalkeeper.
Madrid’s loss of form contrasts sharply with his pace with the name La Liga last season, where they have won nine of their last 10 games, adding a five-game goalless streak.
The latter result, however, seemed like a low point of the penultimate season when Ajax entered Santiago Bernabéu and scored them 4 goals in the same competition.
The freedom in which the Shakhtar broke through the Defense of the Royal, the prospect of Ronald Koeman’s talent keeping up is a fear for manager Zinedine Zidane before the derby.
“I’m the one who has to find a solution,” Zidane said at his post-match press conference. The Frenchman remained calm and philosophical as he questioned through the media.
“We have to settle for that,” he added. We’ll have to think it’s gray today and the sun will come up. “
Zidane will be relieved that Captain Sergio Ramos has compatibility and is available for the clash with Barcelona following the withdrawal of the defender to Cadiz by a knee injury. The Spaniard is expected to upgrade Raphael Varane or Eder Militao, any of whom were exposed in the last defeat.
The technician will also be encouraged through the functionality of Vinicius opposite the Shakhtar. The Brazilian scored his team’s momently purpose moments after being replaced in the middle of the moment, which added to Luka Modric’s very good shot that gave them a lifeguard.
Vinicius adds another size to the team’s attack. However, striker Luka Jovic, who charged Real Madrid some 60 million euros when he signed it from Eintracht Frankfurt in June 2019, is suffering to affect him in the face of the goal.
Saturday’s derby is interesting. Barcelona’s five goals against Ferencvaros in their first Champions League match will actually give them confidence, even if they seemed most likely opposed to the Hungarians.
That said, the Real will do to get rid of his recent fights when confronted by his rivals, who will take the opportunity to capitalize on his defensive fragility.
