    Hopefully Reguilon starts. Brahim should also get minutes.

    Personally, I'd like to see Valverde, Casemiro and Modric. Then Brahimi, Benzema and Asensio in front of them.

    In defense Reguilon, Vallejo, Varane and Carvajal.

    Ceballos and Llorente not even for the bench?
    If Zidane wasn’t our coach everyone would be asking what have they done ...

    Well, we know from Zizou’s first tenure that he doesn’t rate these guys so it’s obvious why they aren’t in. However I do wonder what good it does when It comes to selling them, can’t imagine this does anything but drive their price down if everyone knows Zizou doesn’t want either of them at all...

    And Solari did not rate Isco and that was a sacrilege

    Llorente will go on loan to Sevilla, hopefully they can secure CL spot so he can get CL experience, its good for his development.

    Audition time for Ceballos is up. I’ve seen better players than him couldn’t make it here. He can go for $25m - $30m.

    Once again ZZ won't even give Llorente or Ceballos a chance to play in meaningless matches. Not even on the fuking bench.

    Start players based on merit please. Shake things up. Do something. Anyone else sick of this already?

    Isco is on another level from the guys you're trying to compare to.

    Both Ceballos and Llorente have shown more than enough quality to prove that they are at least worthy of a bench spot next year (depending on who comes and goes). IMO both of them also had a better season than Kroos and maybe even Modric (his shit performances are kind of flying under the radar because everyone likes him so much).

    I'm excited to see Valverde, i hope he plays and the same goes for Brahimi.

    What's the point of loaning somebody in his final contract year? :ROFLMAO:

    We're cashing in on him.

    He worked with then before and didn't like either player, I have no clue what people expected. Hopefully he's a Vinicius fan.

    He likes what he likes irrespective of performances. Seems legit.

    Yep let's hope he's a fan. Hopefully Vinicius will just bash his way to the front eventually but he will be behind Isco and Asensio and Lucas to start of with. His boys.

    Llorente was better when he joined Zidane's squad. He had both players at their top and he didn't use them. I expect both on the way out this summer.

    No he is not. Have you not watched this season?

    Ceballos was the best player of the U23 World tournament same like Isco was ...
    Isco can hold on to the ball more for sure.

    Not to mention dude is 24/25 year old, and already was loaned once -> having fantastic season and Zizu did not give a shit about him. Followed by absolutely shitty season by three regular midfielders and Zidane still does not give shit about him. He will demand being sold. Correct decision to make from his part.

    Sadly, this is negative aspect of Zizu`s return. Losing quality player who offers something we lack in the middle. Strange really.

    I think Zizou’s problem with Llorente goes beyond what he can or can’t do on a football field, his situation is looking more and more like James’s

    Llorente is a solid DM backup..
    In my opinion he is making a mistake not playing him because we need 22 players not 11 and when Casemiro gets injured we must have a plan... and dont we need another CM backup anyway?

    If he already decided Valeverde is going to be that guy, then the credit goes to Solari because he was the one who played him first.

    All he has to do is play Llorente a few times and keep both him and Casemiro hungry and fighting for that spot for next season but he's just frozen Llorente out completely. Not even on the bench.

    So no replacement for casemiro next season? Great decision ZZ.

    Once del Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Vallejo, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos; Lucas Vázquez, Asensio y Benzema.


    Meh LV, was hoping to see Brahim get the start, good to see Vallejo again though.
